“…All these compounds help the body prevent or at least prolong the natural changes of aging by protecting from damage and rejuvenating cells, tissues, and organs. Including fruits in the daily diet protects from minor ailments like wrinkling of skin, hair-fall, and memory loss to major ailments like age-related macular degeneration of the retina in the eyes, neurodegenerative diseases including AD, cancers, osteoporosis [ 111 ]. Research supporting the beneficial roles of phytochemicals against cancers, coronary heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, inflammation, microbial, viral and parasitic infections, psychotic diseases, spasmodic conditions, ulcers, etc is based on the chemical mechanisms using in vitro cell culture systems, various disease states in animals and the epidemiology of humans [ 112 ].…”

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a devastating age-related neurodegenerative disease with no specific treatment at present. The APPsw/Tg2576 mice exhibit age-related deterioration in memory and learning as well as amyloid-beta (Aβ) accumulation, and this mouse strain is considered an effective model for studying the mechanism of accelerated brain aging and senescence. The present study was aimed to investigate the beneficial effects of dietary supplements pomegranate, figs, or the dates on suppressing inflammatory cytokines in APPsw/Tg2576 mice. Changes in the plasma cytokines and Aβ, ATP, and inflammatory cytokines were investigated in the brain of transgenic mice. Significantly enhanced levels of inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-2, IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-9, IL-10, TNF-α and Eotaxin activity were decreased by administration of the diet supplements containing pomegranates, figs, or dates. In addition, putative delays in the formation of senile plaques, as indicated by a decreasing tendency of brain Aβ1–40 and Aβ1–42 contents, were observed. Thus, novel results mediated by reducing inflammatory cytokines during aging may represent one mechanism by which these supplements exert their beneficial effects against neurodegenerative diseases such as AD.

“…It also seems that, there is a negative correlation between medium strength and secondary metabolites accumulation in date palm tissue. This is may be due to the fact that MS mainly improved primary metabolites and cell growth and thereby, resulted in the callus growth and a reduction in browning (Alturki et al, 2013).…”

“…Moreover, the mineral element concentration has also been reported to be effective on date palm callus regeneration (Shasany et al, 1998;Bhat et al, 2002). Alturki et al (2013) studied 3 date palm cultivars (Khalas, Ruziz and Shishi) in 4 mediums (MS, ¾ MS, ½ MS, and ¼ MS) and reported a reduction in explants growth and callus induction with the decrease in medium strength .…”

“…Rye grass plants were planted in zinc oxide nanoparticles and zinc ions (Zn 2+ ) feeding medium and it was observed that zinc oxide nanoparticles and zinc ions had toxic effects at high concentration level (Lin & Xing 2008). Among the important factors which directly influencing in vitro explants establishment and callus induction, macronutrient concentration and media strength are most important one (Alturki et al, 2013). This study aimed to assess the effects of zinc oxide nanoparticles and MS medium strength (full, 1/2 and 1/4 of macronutrients concentration) on improve callus induction stage of date palm cv.…”

To study the effects of zinc nanoparticles on date palm cv. Estamaran (Sayer) callus induction under in vitro condition, a research with two separate experiments was conducted using a completely randomized design. In the first experiment, MS basal salt medium containing 100 mg/l 2,4-D, 3 mg/l 2ip, 3 g/l activated charcoal, 30 g/l sucrose, 40 mg/l adenine sulfate, and 1 mg/l biotin along with different concentrations of zinc sulfate (ZnSO4), including 0, 2.43, 4.86 mg/l or zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs), including 0, 2.43, 4.86, 7.29 mg/l , were used. While in the second experiment, the effect of various medium strengths including full strength MS, ½ MS, and ¼ MS was examined on callus formation. At the end of each experiment, total explants induced callus, embryogenic callus formation percentage, and callus fresh and dry weight were evaluated. Results of the first experiment showed that the best callus induction and callus fresh and dry weight belong to MS medium containing 2.43 mg/l ZnO NPs. Further, higher ZnO NPs concentrations had negative effects on callus formation. However, results of the second experiment indicated that highest callus formation and callus fresh and dry weight are obtained on full strength MS basal salt medium.

“…An increase of phenolics under abiotic stress conditions was correlated with the increase in enzyme activity. It is well known that different strengths of MS-treated plants induced phenolic compounds and antioxidant production (Alturki et al, 2013). In Digitalis obscura L. shoot-tip cultures, lower concentrations of MS major salts were found most effective for cardenolide content (Gavidia and Perez-Bermudez, 1997).…”

Plant secondary metabolites are unique resources for pharmaceuticals, food additives, and fine chemicals. They also provide original materials used in other areas. Besides direct extraction from plants and chemical synthesis to provide those compounds or derivatives with similar uses, plant cell culture has been developed as a promising alternative for producing metabolites that are difficult to obtain by chemical synthesis or plant extraction. However, in spite of four decades of efforts, production of plant secondary metabolites by plant cell culture technology is still facing many biological and biotechnological limitations. One of the major obstacles is the low yield of plant secondary metabolites in plant cell cultures. Since the major roles of plant secondary metabolites are to protect plants from attack by insects, herbivores, and pathogens, or to survive other biotic and abiotic stresses, some strategies for culture production of the metabolites based on this principle have been developed to improve the yield of such plant secondary metabolites. These include treatment with various elicitors, signal compounds, and abiotic stresses
