Stable lines of hairy roots were established from leaf explants of Bacopa monnieri using different strains (A4, R1000, SA79, MTCC 532 and MTCC 2364) of Agrobacterium rhizogenes. The efficiency of hairy roots induction of these strains varied significantly and the maximum transformation frequency (75 %) was observed in case of strain SA79 using leaf explants followed by internode (55 %) in the presence of acetosyringone. Different parameters such as cell density of Agrobacterium suspension, co-cultivation period and infection time influenced the root induction frequency. Maximum frequency of root induction was obtained with bacterial density of 0.6 OD₆₀₀, 2 days of co-cultivation period and 10 min of infection time. Integration of T-DNA in the genome of hairy roots was confirmed by PCR amplification of rolB gene. Elimination of Agrobacterium from the established root cultures was ascertained by amplifying the DNA fragment specific to 16S rDNA and virD gene. All lines of hairy roots except strain A4 induced showed higher growth rate and accumulated higher levels of ‘bacoside A’ than the untransformed roots. Maximum biomass accumulation (6.8 g l⁻¹) and ‘bacoside A’ content (10.02 mg g⁻¹ DW) were recorded in case of the hairy root line induced by strain MTCC 2364.
Biochemical and molecular diversity among 14 accessions of Bacopa monnieri (L.) Wettst. collected from various locations of India was investigated. A significant variation was recorded in bacoside A contents of these accessions. A scatter plot of principle component analysis based on bacoside A contents clubbed these populations into two major groups and accession BM14 was placed separately. Similarly, about 35 % variations were detected in these populations based on combined data of random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) and inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR). Individually, ISSR markers detected higher variation (44.9 %) as compared to RAPD markers (23 %). Clustering based on molecular marker data grouped these accessions into two major groups and also placed accession BM14 as an out group. The shoot organogenic potential of leaf explants taken from microshoots and rooting of microshoots also varied among accessions. Maximum shoot organogenic potential was observed in accession BM5 and maximum rooting potential was observed in accessions BM1, BM2, BM7, BM10 and BM14. Present study is an important step for developing long-term strategy for conservation of this important medicinal herb.
Background. Free radicals play a key role in the development of several pathological conditions. Therefore, antioxidants (AOs) are the first line of defense against free radical damage and are critical for maintaining optimum health and wellbeing. Objectives: To assess the perception of dental practitioners regarding use of antioxidants in oral health. Method. A cross-sectional questionnaire study was conducted among 296 dental practitioners in Tricity (Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula, India). A self-structured close-ended questionnaire was used to assess the perception of dentists regarding the use of antioxidants in their patients. It consisted of 12 questions with dichotomous response and five point likert scale ranging from strongly agree to strongly disagree. Descriptive statistics were used to summarize the data, followed by the Chi-square test to check significant differences between the responses. Correlation between responses were analysed through the Spearman’s rank correlation. Statistical analysis was done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 20 (Illinois, Chicago, USA). Results. A statistically significant difference was observed between genders, with females 181 (61%) having more knowledge than males 115 (39%) regarding the use of antioxidants in their clinical practice. It has been found that dental professionals in academics prescribes more antioxidants to their patients than the private practitioners. Postgraduates 76 (77.6%) had a higher level of knowledge than graduates 86 (43%). Conclusions. Knowledge about antioxidants should be highlighted in the health sciences curriculum. It is recommended to expand the use of antioxidants in oral health to bring down the burden of chronic diseases like periodontitis and catastrophic diseases like precancerous lesions and oral cancer.
