The extracts from twigs of three Pteridophytes (locally available) viz. Selaginella ciliaris (Retz.), Marsilea minuta (L.) and Thelypteris prolifera (Retz.) were investigated for antitumor properties. Among the species, highest percentage of tumor inhibition was found in M. minuta (82.32%) followed by S. ciliaris (80%) and T. prolifera (75.68%) at 1000ppm, and significant tumor inhibition was observed at 10, 100 and 1000 ppm of plant extracts on potato disc induced by Agrobacterium tumefaciens…

TLDR
Amongst all the extracts tested, methanolic extract was comparably more effective to inhibit the growth of microbes than Aqueous and Chloroform extracts.
Modification and evaluation of the potato disc assay and antitumor screening of euphorbiaceae seeds.
TLDR
The modified potato disc assay is a safe, simple, rapid, in-house, low cost, prescreen for 3PS antitumor activity; it detects some false positives, but few false negatives; it is statistically much more predictive of 3PS activity than either the 9KB or the 9PS cytotoxicity assays.
Crown Gall Tumor Disc Bioassay: A POSSIBLE AID IN THE DETECTION OF COMPOUNDS WITH ANTITUMOR ACTIVITY.
TLDR
There is definite correlation between the ability of purified compounds and various ethanol extracts from plant sources to inhibit the formation of crown gall tumors and their activity on the P388 leukemia system in mice.
The Use of Biological Assays to Evaluate Botanicals
TLDR
The Department of Medicinal Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology's laboratory has adopted four “bench top” bioassays which do not require higher animals to screen and direct the fractionation of botanical extracts in drug discovery efforts, and the results in applying these simple methods in the discovery of Annonaceous acetogenins will be presented.
Potato disc tumor induction assay: a multiple mode of drug action assay.
TLDR
The A. tumefaciens-induced potato disc tumor assay was an effective indicator of antitumor activity regardless of the mechanism of drug action, and would be acceptable as a primary general screen for antineoplastic activity of various crude extracts, as well as for purified fractions, regardless of mode of inhibitory action on tumor formation.
