Propagation of Drosera rotundifolia and Drosera capensis in an in vitro Culture System

Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca. Animal Science and Biotechnologies, 2017
Drosera rotundifolia and Drosera capensis (Droseraceae) are carnivorous plants grown as ornamentals and sources for homeopathic medicine. The aim of this study was to optimize nutrient and growth regulator concentrations for the in vitro propagation of ...

Sequence comparison, molecular modeling, and network analysis predict structural diversity in cysteine proteases from the Cape sundew, Drosera capensis [PDF]

Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2016
Carnivorous plants represent a so far underexploited reservoir of novel proteases with potentially useful activities. Here we investigate 44 cysteine proteases from the Cape sundew, Drosera capensis, predicted from genomic DNA sequences. D.

In vitro Induced Mitotic Polyploidy in Drosera capensis L. [PDF]

Agricultura Tropica et Subtropica, 2013
The objective of this study was to induce mitotic polyploidization in Drosera capensis. Tetraploid plants of D. capensis were induced successfully by treating leaf segments in vitro with oryzalin solution with four different concentrations (20, 40, 60 or

Spatially resolved detection of small molecules from press-dried plant tissue using MALDI imaging. [PDF]

Appl Plant Sci, 2023
Abstract Premise Matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI‐MSI) is a chemical imaging method that can visualize spatial distributions of particular molecules. Plant tissue imaging has so far mostly used cryosectioning, which can be impractical for the preparation of large‐area imaging samples, such as full flower ...

Drosera capensis (Droseraceae), a new naturalised record for Australia

Telopea, 2012
Drosera capensis L. (Droseraceae) is reported as a naturalised new record for Australia, occurring in the Central Coast bioregion of New South Wales. Although the full extent of the distribution of this species is not known, it is currently thought to be isolated to a small creek-side community within the Royal National Park, New South Wales, south of ...

Elicitation of 7-methyljuglone in Drosera capensis

South African Journal of Botany, 2009
AbstractDrosera capensis L. (Droseraceae) is an important source of pharmacologically active 1,4-naphthoquinones including 7-methyljuglone which has been shown to have significant antimicrobial and antifungal as well as antituberculosis activity. In this study, we report on the production of 7-methyljuglone in D.
