Callus and suspension cultures, established from seedling and leaf explants of Solanum
laciniatum Ait were analysed for solasodine using a spectrophotometric assay. Solasodine …

Callus tissues from different explants (hypocotyl, cotyledon, root, leaf and fruit) of Solanum
eleagnifolium Cav. were cultured on a modified Murashige-Skoog medium, with 1 mg. 1− 1 …

Tissue cultures of Solanum nigrum L. were initiated from leaf explants on a solid medium
containing inorganic salts [Murashige and Skoog (1962), Physiol. Plant. 15: 473–497] …

Leaf and hypocotyl explants of 15 days old aseptically grown seedlings of Solanum
laciniatum were cultured on MS medium supplemented with NAA (2 mg/l) and kinetin (0.5 …

Callus autotrophic for both auxin and cytokinin was selected from a hormone-requiring
culture of Solanum laciniatum Ait. The control of solasodine yield, callus growth and …

The effect of different auxins (2, 4-D, 2, 4, 5-T, NAA and IAA) on calli maintenance and plant
cell suspension initiation as well as the influence of auxins in combination with citoquinines …

Callus cultures of Solanum mauritianum Scop. were initiated from green berry explants on a
hormone-free Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium excluding glycine, and containing 0.1 g …

Foliage from a Solanum laciniatum plant contained 7.64 mg solasodine per g dry weight. In
contrast, leaf-derived callus cultures incubated under light yielded only 0.09 mg/g …

The effect of auxins, light and cellular production of Solanum eleagnifolium Cav. calli were
studied. 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (4.5 μM) was the plant growth regulator used for …

The production of the steroidal alkaloid solasodine, an alternative to diosgenin as a
precursor for the commercial production of steroid drugs, was studied in hairy root, callus …
