| Abstract | Malaxis wallichii (Lindl.) Deb, a small, perennial, monopodial, terrestrial orchid, is endemic to tropical Himalayas at an altitude of 1200–2000 m asl. The pseudobulbs are important ingredients of century old drug ‘Ashtavarga’ and a polyherbal energetic tonic ‘Chyavanprash’. An efficient genetically stable in vitro propagation protocol using transverse thin cell layer culture system was established for M. wallichii. In the present report, meta-topolin alone proved to be three times more beneficial compared to other routinely used cytokinins in inducing highest number of shoot buds, plant height and growth of regenerated shoots. The highest regeneration frequency (89%) along with maximum number of adventitious shoots per explant (22.5 ± 0.6) was observed in MS medium supplemented with 1.0 mg/l meta-topolin and 0.5 mg/l α-naphthalene acetic acid. Highest rooting frequency with highest number of roots (8.66 ± 0.3) was achieved in half-strength MS medium fortified with 1.0 mg/l indole acetic acid. Clonal stability of in vitro-derived plantlets was evaluated and compared to donor plant using intron splice junction (ISJ) markers and flow cytometry. ISJ markers revealed 4.76% clonal variability indicating high degree of genetic stability amongst the in vitro-derived regenerants. The nuclear DNA content of M. wallichii (2n) was found to be 2C = 2.760 ± 0.02 pg and therefore, 1349.64 Mbp (1C). Flow cytometry analysis of actively growing young and mature leaves from donor as well as in vitro-derived plantlets revealed presence of three peaks corresponding to 2C, 4C and 8C, while 2C was the most abundant. In the present investigation, there was no significant difference in the 2C DNA content between the mother and in vitro-derived plants; however, the frequency of endopolyploid cells varied in young and adult plants. An increased H$_{2}$O$_{2}$ content as well as lipid peroxidation activities were observed during early stages of acclimatization which declined afterwards. The enhanced activities of antioxidant enzymes like superoxide dismutase, catalase, ascorbate peroxidase and glutathione reductase in acclimatized plantlets as compared to in vitro-grown ones revealed their active involvement in growth and development against oxidative stress under external adverse environment. |

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.
