Tissue Culture Role in Echinacea purpurea Plant Propagation

The book "Tissue Culture Role in Echinacea purpurea Plant Propagation" by Nevien Mohammad Eid offers a comprehensive study of the in vitro propagation of Echinacea purpurea, a significant plant in both the ornamental and medicinal plant industries. Echinacea purpurea is known for its immune-stimulating properties and is commonly used in various medications. This work develops a protocol for plant propagation that examines the effects of different factors on the accumulation of active components in plant tissue. This includes the effects of various auxins on anthocyanin pigment accumulation, as well as the investigation of precursors in the culture media. The results of this research could be of great benefit to scientists and practitioners involved in the propagation and experimental applications of Echinacea purpurea or other plants in the Asteraceae family.
