Abstract [English]

Momordica dioica, a traditional medicinal plant of the Cucurbitaceae family, is sought after for its various medicinal properties including antibacterial, anti-tumorogenic, analgesic, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, and anti-allergic activities. Plant tissue culture allows micropropagation and regeneration. Standard culture protocol established for Momordica dioica includes Root, leaf, fruit, and apical meristem explants on MS basal medium with BAP-2,4D. This plant has diverse biological activity, good cytotoxicity on cancerous cells, and versatile uses in health, medicine, and food due to its numerous beneficial properties. Further work is in progress to evaluate the chemical constituents present in this plant.
