| Abstract | Centella asiatica (L.) Urban, which is a perennial plant in the family Umbelliferae, is commercially utilized as a wound-healing agent, due to its potent anti-inflammatory effects. Despite the medicinal importance of C. asiatica, little genomic or transcriptomic data are available from the public databases. To identify the genes involved in biosynthesis of these materials, an expressed sequence tag (EST) analysis was performed from C. asiatica hairy roots after methyl jasmonate (MJ) treatment as an elicitor. Sequencing of 4,896 cDNA clones generated 4,381 5′-end high-quality ESTs (GenBank Accession Number JK513929–JK518371, average length 625.8 bp), of which 2,837 (376 contigs and 2,461 singletons) were revealed to be unique by sequence comparison, and 978 (34.4 % of total clusters) had a putative ATG start codon. A total of 2,420 unique sequences were annotated by a BLAST similarity search. Asiatic acid and madecassic acid, as precursors of asiaticoside and madecassoside, respectively, were biosynthesized from α-amyrin by cytochrome P450 hydroxylase and carboxylase (P450). Two centellosides were catalyzed from asiatic acid and madecassic acid by UDP-glucosyltransferases (UGTs). We identified 24 P450 and 13 UGT candidates from the database. Finally, 3 of the P450s and 1 UGT were selected as candidates most likely to be involved in centelloside biosynthesis in a MJ inducibility experiment based on a real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction assay. This is the first report on the use of EST analysis to study the gene expression profiles in C. asiatica hairy roots elicited by MJ. |

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.
