Since last century, Plant Tissue Culture (PTC) exhibited enormous contribution in the science, mainly in last three to four decade, after the development of the newer technologies such as direct/indirect organogenesis, direct/indirect somatic embryogenesis, synthetic seed production, hybridization, somaclonal variation, haploid culture, and germplasm conservation. PTC is a biotechnological tool which contributes to the industries, horticulture, forestry and agricultural production in the way of crop improvement in terms of food, fodder, fibres, fuel and production of new varieties. This is one of the progressive steps towards commercialization, which will be helpful for the developing countries to fulfil the challenges of food availability of growing populations in a restricted land area.

“…Almost each part of this species is useful and possesses a diverse set of therapeutic properties to treat ailments like fatigue, oral ulcers, and a myriad of gynaecological problems [7,9]. Apart from well-established ayurvedic drug Dashmularishta, the basic ingredient of Dashmool is also utilized in many herbal preparations [10,11].…”

“…Furthermore, this plant has long been employed as an antidote to the venom Echis carinata, a poisonous Indian snake [25] and healing of fractures with radioactive P-32 and Ca-45 [26]. A number of bioactive secondary metabolites such as alkaloids, phenolics, tannins, saponins, cardiac glycosides, flavonoids, isoflavanones, triterpenes and steroids have been identified in this plant [10,27].…”

β-sitosterol (BS) and lupeol (LU) exhibit a number of biological activities and are the important bioactive marker compounds in pharmaceutical science. In the present study, a simple, precise, accurate and validated high performance thin layer chromatographic (HPTLC) method was developed for simultaneous quantification of these two compounds in leaves, stem and roots of Uraria picta, a critically endangered medicinal plant and one of the important constituents of ten plants ayurvedic formulation called Dashmoola. Standards and test samples were applied on TLC aluminum plate precoated with 0.2 mm layer of silica gel 60F254. The plate was run in a twin glass chamber comprising toluene: methanol: chloroform (8:1:1, v/v/v) as a mobile phase. The plates were immersed in anisaldehyde-sulfuric reagent and then heated at 105 °C for 5 min in CAMAG TLC plate heater for appearance of bands. Densitometric scanning was performed at λ max = 525 nm using tungsten light source in CAMAG TLC Scanner4 armed with WinCATS software. R F values of BS and LU standards and those of test samples were found to be 0.53 ± 0.01 and 0.63 ± 0.01 respectively. The method was further validated by following the International Conference of Harmonization (ICH) guidelines. For BS and LU, the linear regression data for the calibration plots revealed a satisfactory linear association with r 2 = 0.995 and 0.998, respectively. Linear range for both BS and LU was 200–600 ng/band. Accuracy of the method was evaluated by performing recovery study at three different levels by standard addition methods with an average recovery of 99.86% and 101.07%. The results revealed that the leaf samples of U. picta contained highest concentration of BS (0.150 ± 0.02%) while its root samples confined the highest concentration of LU (0.149 ± 0.01%). The developed method can be applied for routine and quality control analysis in different herbal formulations containing U. picta species.

“…Several species of Uraria (e.g., U. lagopodioides, U. crinita and U. picta) are used for medicinal purposes. The flavonoids, triterpenes, megastigmanes, nucleoside compounds, and 3-hydroxy-7' ,4'-dimethoxyflavone they produce display a wide range of medicinal properties used in the treatment of asthma, dysentery, ulcers, and malaria-induced fever [4][5][6][7].…”

Development of unigene-derived SSR markers from RNA-seq data of Uraria lagopodioides (Fabaceae) and their application in the genus Uraria Desv. (Fabaceae)

Background Uraria Desv. belongs to the tribe Desmodieae (Fabaceae), a group of legume plants, some of which have medicinal properties. However, due to a lack of genomic information, the interspecific relationships, genetic diversity, population genetics, and identification of functional genes within Uraria species are still unclear. Results Using RNA-Seq, a total of 66,026 Uraria lagopodioides unigenes with a total sequence content of 52,171,904 bp were obtained via de novo assembly and annotated using GO, KEGG, and KOG databases. 17,740 SSRs were identified from a set of 66,026 unigenes. Cross-species amplification showed that 54 out of 150 potential unigene-derived SSRs were transferable in Uraria, of which 19 polymorphic SSRs were developed. Cluster analysis based on polymorphisms successfully distinguished seven Uraria species and revealed their interspecific relationships. Seventeen samples of seven Uraria species were clustered into two monophyletic clades, and phylogenetic relationships of Uraria species based on unigene-derived SSRs were consistent with classifications based on morphological characteristics. Conclusions Unigenes annotated in the present study will provide new insights into the functional genomics of Uraria species. Meanwhile, the unigene-derived SSR markers developed here will be invaluable for assessing the genetic diversity and evolutionary history of Uraria and relatives.
