| Abstract | The influence of strigolactones as hormones in plants is not fully characterised even though they are known to affect plant architecture, both above ground and in the roots. Using an in vitro system, the effects of the synthetic auxins 1-naphthalene acetic acid and indole-3-butyric acid (NAA and IBA) and synthetic strigolactones (GR24 and Nijmegen-1) were tested on microplant development of Sutherlandia frutescens, a leguminous medicinal plant native to South Africa. Considerable phytochemical variation in wild populations has led to the proposal of using micropropagation for this species. This will assist with domestication and provide plants with a more predictable chemistry for the phytopharmaceuticals industry. Nodal explants with an axillary bud were grown on Murashige and Skoog (Plant Physiol 15:473–497, 1962) medium [0.8 % (m/v) agar (pH 5.8), 3 % (m/v) sucrose and 0.1 g/L myo-inositol] supplemented with NAA, IBA, GR24 and Nijmegen-1, either singly or in combination. The amino acid profile and secondary metabolite pool was monitored using LC–MS-profiling. Treatment with NAA promoted mass shoot production, whilst a combination of NAA and Nijmegen-1 also positively influenced the accumulation of amino acids, flavonoids (sutherlandins) and terpenoids (sutherlandiosides) that S. frutescens produces. Since these compounds represent the presumed active compounds in this species and the biomarkers used in quality control assessment of S. frutescens tissues harvested for the pharmaceutical industry, this treatment holds promise for the commercial production of Sutherlandia extracts and herbal medications. |

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.
