TL;DR: The regeneration protocol developed in this study provides a basis for ex-situ germplasm conservation and also harnesses the various secondary metabolite compounds of medicinal importance present in D. nobile.

TL;DR: Present investigation suggests the effectiveness of SCoT marker system to estimate the genetic diversity of D. nobile and that it can be seen as a preliminary point for future research on the population and evolutionary genetics of this endangered orchid species of medicinal importance.

TL;DR: Rapid multiplication rate, higher genetic stability and significantly higher antioxidant power reported in the present study on D. nobile ensure the use of this micropropagation protocol for ex-situ conservation and commercial exploitation which could also be extended to other important orchid species.

TL;DR: Analysis of methanolic extracts of leaves and stems of wild as well as in vitro-derived plantlets revealed presence of many bioactive metabolites which substantially explain the use of M. acuminata as one of the potential rejuvenator and anti-aging ingredient in many Ayurvedic formulations.

TL;DR: In this paper, several plants are being identified and trialed to be used in the phytoremediation task, such as the Bermuda grass, Bahia grass, Paspalum notatum, Rhodes grass (Chloris guyana), the tall wheat grass (Thynopyron elongatum), common reed grass (Phragmites australis), the munj grass (Sachharum munja) and Imperata cylindrica.
