High frequency in vitro plantlet regeneration and antioxidant activity of Enicostema axillare(Lam.) Raynal ssp. littoralis (Blume) Raynal: An important medicinal plant

Conclusion The present study not only enables reinforcement of wild plant populations using ex situ growth of individuals, but it also helps for high scale production of plantlets. A high correlation between antioxidant capacities and their total phenolic contents indicated that flavonoid compounds were a major contributor of antioxidant activity of both plants grown from nature and nodal culture.
