Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
The genus Wrightia belongs to the Apocyanaceae family and encompasses
32 species. This genus has many pharmacological properties and is used for many of
the human ailments in the traditional systems of medicine. It also has commercial
importance for its timber, dye, etc. Due to its commercial importance, some of the
species of this genus, like Wrightia tinctoria and W. arborea are overexploited and
have become endangered. There is a need to conserve these species. One of the
techniques to conserve plants and multiplication is micropropagation. In this chapter,
regeneration studies that include collection, sterilization, shoot and root generation, and
acclimatization of Wrightia tinctoria and W. arborea are described.
