| Abstract: | Callus culture of Catharanthus roseus in LS medium was treated with different concentrations of sodium dikegulac (DK). Maximum growth was obtained in cultures with 50 μg/ml after 25 days and in 100 μg/ml after 30 days of every culture .cycle whereas 150 and 200 μg/ml exhibited an increase in biomass only in second and first culture cycle respectively, followed by a decline. There was an increase in total alkaloid content, RNA, amino acid, soluble carbohydrate and tryptophan levels at 50 μg/ml of dikegulac over control. Dikegulac at lower concentration (50 μg/ml)seems to be a potent chemical for higher biomass and alkaloid production in long term treatment of C. roseus under tissue culture. |
