In vitro Biochemical Characterization of Caralluma edulis (Edgew.) Benth. & Hook. f. and Caralluma adscendens (Roxb.) R. Br.: Medicinally Potent Indian Plant species
Abstract
Caralluma species are important plant and known for their medicinal and edible properties. The present study focuses on biochemical characterization and quantitative estimation of primary metabolites found in two species i.e. C. edulis and C. adscendens. In vitro quantification of carbohydrate and protein was done in micropropagated and in vivo plant maintained in green house condition. Moreover protein profile has been done by SDS-PAGE.
