Inductive Effects of Carbohydrates and Plant Regeneration via Anther Culture in Madagascar Periwinkle [PDF]
Advances in Zoology and Botany, 2021 Anther culture has emerged as an alternative for traditional plant breeding practices for homozygosity development, which in the case of medical plants resulting in increased yield of phytoconstituents. The response of anthers during culture is governed by the various constituents of the nutrient media.

Expressed sequence tags from Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus) [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2006 The Madagascar periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus) is well known to produce the chemotherapeutic anticancer agents, vinblastine and vincristine. In spite of its importance, no expressed sequence tag (EST) analysis of this plant has been reported. Two cDNA libraries were generated from RNA isolated from the base part of young leaves and from root tips to ...

Expression patterns of genes involved in the defense and stress response of Spiroplasma citri infected Madagascar Periwinkle Catharanthus roseus. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2012 Madagascar periwinkle is an ornamental and a medicinal plant, and is also an indicator plant that is highly susceptible to phytoplasma and spiroplasma infections from different crops. Periwinkle lethal yellows, caused by Spiroplasma citri, is one of the most devastating diseases of periwinkle. The response of plants to S. citri infection is very little
