| Abstract | Acorus calamus (sweet flag) is used in the traditional Chinese and Indian medicines for various ailments. Due to its extensive use in herbal medicine, natural resources from the world’s forests are being depleted at an alarming rate. In the present study, an in vitro cell culture technique is being explored as an alternative to field grown A. calamus with respect to the metabolite profile, antioxidant properties, total phenol, and total flavonoid content. Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC–MS) was utilized to compare the metabolite profiling between methanolic extracts of in vitro and field grown rhizome tissues of A. calamus. A statistical analysis indicated an upregulation of α-selinene, which is representative of sesquiterpene ketones, and a cyclic polyol, d-pinitol, which has an insulin mimicking effect in the in vitro cultivated rhizome tissue when compared to field grown rhizomes. Significantly higher free-radical scavenging activity (IC50 69.32 μg mL−1), total phenolic content (71.60 mg GAE g−1), and total flavonoid content (42.34 mg CE g−1) were observed in in vitro rhizome tissues compared with those from field grown rhizomes. These observations suggest that the in vitro cultivation of Acorus rhizomes could be exploited as an alternative to field grown A. calamus, as it is an endangered medicinal plant. The production of useful metabolites by the in vitro cultured rhizomes can be explored successfully for utilization by various food and drug industries. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
