Popis: The importance for the conservation of the Egyptian desert plant Pergularia tomentosa was encouraged after the isolation and identification of the highly stable and water soluble cardiac glycosides with very interesting pharmacological activities and wide safety margins. The study included agricultural and tissue culture experiments for the possible production of these important cardenolides in high concentrations. Calli formation and growth obtained from different explants were significantly affected by many factors tested. The HPLC analysis of the extracts of both cultivated plants samples and calli from tissue culture experiments demonstrated promising results. All extracts showed the presence of the major ghalakinoside, in variable concentrations. The highest results were obtained from the irrigated plants in the agricultural experiments and after progesterone addition in tissue culture experiments.
