Bu çalışmada Ajuga vestita BOISS.’in in vitro sürgünlerinden elde edilen fidelerin farklı kısımlarından, literatür taramalarında daha önce hiç çalışılmamış olan kallus kültürlerinin başlatılması ve optimizasyonu ile kallustan sürgün elde etme potansiyelinin belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Bu amaçla öncelikle yüzey sterilizasyonu tamamlanan Ajuga vestita BOISS.’in olgun tohumları hormonsuz 1/4 MS besi ortamında çimlendirildi. Aksenik sürgün uçları, 0.125 mg/L-1 Kin içeren 1/1 MS besi yerinde çoğaltılarak kallus oluşturma çalışmalarında başlangıç materyali olarak kullanılacak in vitro sürgünler elde edildi. İn vitro ortamda yetiştirilen sürgünlerin yaprak, gövde, kök kısımları ve testası çatlatılmış olgun tohumlar, sitokinin (Kin, BAP) ve oksinin (2,4-D) farklı konsantrasyonlarının bulunduğu 1/1 MS besi ortamında ayrı ayrı kültüre alındı. Çalışma sonucunda, kültüre alınan tüm eksplant çeşitlerinde kallus oluşumu gözlendi. Ancak, tüm eksplant tiplerinde en iyi kallus oluşumunun 0.5 mg/L-1 Kin+2.0 mg/L-1 2,4-D içeren besi ortamında olduğu belirlendi. -

Ethnopharmacology of the Plants of Genus Ajuga
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGY OF THE PLANTS OF GENUS AJUGA ZAFAR H. ISRAILI AND BADIÂA LYOUSSI* Department of Medicine, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, Georgia, USA *UFR Physiology – Pharmacology, Laboratory of Physiology-Pharmacology – Environmental Health, Faculty of Sciences, Dhar El Mehraz, Fez, Morocco ABSTRACT The plants of genus Ajuga are evergreen, clump-forming rhizomatous perennial or annual herbaceous flowering species, with Ajuga being one of the 266 genera of the family Lamiaceae. There are at least 301 species of the genus Ajuga with many variations. These plants, growing in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and North America, are used in gardens as ground cover or border for their foliage and beautiful flowers. Many of these plants have been used in traditional medicine as a remedy for fever, toothache, dysentery, malaria, high blood pressure, diabetes, gastrointestinal disorders, as anthelmintic, diuretic and antifungal, anti-inflammatory, and antimycobacterial agents. They are also used as insect growth inhibitor s. A large number of compounds have been isolated from the Ajuga plants, including phytoecdysteroids, neo-clerodane-diterpenes and diterpenoids, triterpenes, sterols, anthocyanidin-glucosides and iridoid glycosides, withanolides, flavonoids, triglycerides and essential oils. These compounds possess a broad spectrum of biological, pharmacological and medicinal properties, such as anabolic, analgesic, antibacterial, antiestrogenic, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, antileukemic, antimalarial, antimycobacterial, -

6.Aptosimum Literature Chapter 2
Chapter 2 Phytochemistry of Aptosimum procumbens 2.1 Introduction Aptosimum procumbens Burch (= A. depressum) of the tribe Aptosimae belongs to the Scropulariaceae sensu stricto family of the order Lamiales.1 Scrophulariaceae is one of the largest plant families and is comprised of about 190 genera and 4000 species. Plants from this family are mostly woody herbaceous shrubs and are found predominantly in the temperate regions of the world.2 They are distinguished from related families with relative ease, but many plants are assigned to this family because they lack distinguishing characteristics that would place them in the other specific families. Therefore, Scrophs share some of the characteristics of plants of related families and this may negate the possibility that Scrophulariaceae is a distinct clade. As a result of this, there are doubts as to whether the family is monophyletic or should rather be classified as polyphyletic or paraphyletic.1 Phytochemical investigations can provide a valuable input with regards to the chemotaxanomical studies of this family. A. procumbens (Fig. 1) is mainly referred to as “carpet flower” but shares a variety of vernacular names such as “brandbossie/blare”, “Karoo violet/flower” and “kankerbos” with other related species of Aptosimum. A common name is given to a plant based on certain characteristics of the plant. A. procumbens is a prostrate mat-forming species hence the name “carpet flower”. The plant has strong woody procumbent stems with short lateral, dense leafy and floriferous branches. Another characteristic feature is the violet trumpet-like flowers that bloom in the summer or after rainfall (hence the name “Karoo violet”).
