An experimental design approach for the optimization of scopoletin extraction from Morinda citrifolia L. using accelerated solvent extraction

Aprilia Nur Tasfiyati et al.

Summary: Scopoletin is a major constituent of noni fruits, contributing to antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and hepatoprotective properties. The study proposes the use of accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) and HPLC-DAD for rapid identification and quantification of scopoletin. The established method provides a reliable and sensitive approach for determining scopoletin content in noni samples.

Antioxidant status of medicinal and aromatic plants under the influence of growth-promoting rhizobacteria and osmotic stress

Julieta Chiappero et al.

Summary: Plants exhibit adaptive responses to drought and salinity stress through the development of antioxidant systems to maintain cellular homeostasis. The use of PGPR microorganisms can mitigate the negative effects of water stress and enhance plant tolerance to abiotic stress. Future research should focus on investigating the combined utilization of osmotic stress and PGPR to enhance secondary metabolite content in plants. This review paper highlights the antioxidant responses in medicinal and aromatic plants subjected to osmotic stress and inoculated with PGPR, which have not been extensively reviewed before.
