A protocol for regeneration of P. hispidum through somatic embryogenesis in leaf explants is described. Under aseptic conditions, the leaves were cut into 1.0 cm2 explants. These explants were inoculated into test tubes with 10.0 mL of an Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal culture medium supplemented with 30.0 g L-1 sucrose, 6.0 g L-1 agar and a factor...

BackgroundWe previously reported that the tomato glycoalkaloid tomatine inhibited the growth of Trichomonas vaginalis strain G3, Tritrichomonas foetus strain D1, and Tritrichomonas foetus-like strain C1 that cause disease in humans and farm and domesticated animals. The increasing prevalence of antibiotic resistance requires development of new tool...
