Abstract

In recent years herbal medicines and extracts have gained renewed interest for several reasons; affordability, low pricing, no side effects, solutions for chronic diseases and disorders, time tested remedies, preventive approaches, etc. Enhanced market demands have posed threats to phytoresources due to unscrupulous mode of collections. There is an urgent need to conserve genetic diversity of medicinal plant resources by developing protocols for micropropagation. Plant cell, tissue, organ culture techniques offer an integrated approach for rapid multiplication and production of material with dependable active ingredients. Phytopharmacutical properties and protocols for the mass production of three medicinal plants form the bases for the present study. These are Cissus quadrangularis (Vitaceae), Tridax procumbens and Verbesina encelioides (Asteraceae).
