Abstract

The aim of this study was to elaborate an efficient in vitro multiplication protocol for Mentha piperita L. (peppermint) and to perform a comparative evaluation of some biochemical compounds in plants regenerated by micropropagation and conventional method. The use of a plain Murashige and Skoog (MS) basal medium favored the induction of regenerative processes, the percentage of explants that started to grow four weeks after inoculation being 92%. The highest multiplication rate (7.12 shoots/explant) and the highest average shoot length (8.11 cm) were obtained on the MS medium supplemented with 1 mg/L benzylaminopurine, when nodal fragments were used as explants. The rooting phase was not necessary, the shoots developing roots on the multiplication medium. The acclimatization rate of in vitro regenerated plants to ex vitro conditions was 96%. Although biochemical investigations revealed some differences between in vitro regenerated plants and those obtained by conventional methods, the results obtained show that micropropagation can be used successfully to obtain high-quality peppermint biological material, a potential source of bioactive compounds with therapeutic effect.

  • In Mentha piperita, the content of photosynthetic pigments in plants regenerated in vitro was higher than in seed-generated plants, while total phenol content was higher in plants obtained by classical methods than in in vitro ones.

    “Radomir et al., 2022 [143], compared a number of biochemical indicators in in vitro- and seed-generated Mentha piperita L. plants and identified some differences between the two types of regenerants: the content of photosynthetic pigments in the plants regenerated in vitro was higher than in the ones obtained from seeds, while the total phenol content in the plants obtained by classical methods”

    The Abstract (page not provided) says the study compared biochemical compounds in micropropagated and conventionally obtained peppermint and found some differences. The available passages do not say that the conventional plants were seed-generated or establish which group had higher photosynthetic pigments or total phenols; searches for those comparisons found no results passage.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
