| Abstract | Medicinal plants produce a wide range of secondary metabolites to increase their performance upon exposure to various kinds of elicitors. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the impacts of various concentrations of nano-titanium dioxide (TiO$_{2}$) particles, viz., 0, 10, 50, 100, 200 and 1000 mg l$^{−1}$ on growth, biosynthesis of secondary metabolites such as essential oils, total phenolics, flavonoids and antioxidant efficacy of the extracts obtained from the treated Salvia officinalis plants, assayed using DPPH free radical scavenging and β-carotene/linoleic acid bleaching test systems. The results showed that the highest and the lowest dry weights of root and shoot tissues were obtained from plants exposed to 100 and 1000 mg l$^{−1}$ TiO$_{2}$, respectively. The highest total phenolic (35.2 mg GAE g$^{−1}$ dry wt.) and flavonoid (21.9 mg CE g$^{−1}$ dry wt.) contents were obtained in plants exposed to 200 and 100 mg l$^{−1}$ nano-TiO$_{2}$, respectively. Gas chromatography and mass spectrometry analysis showed that the major components of essential oils were monoterpenes, including Camphene, p-Cymene, 1,8-Cineol, Cis-Thujene and Camphor. The highest value of Cis-Thujene (34.5 %) and 1,8-Cineol (21.2 %) were achieved in extracts obtained from plants exposed to 200 mg l$^{−1}$ nano-TiO$_{2}$. However, the maximal content of Camphene (12.1 %) was obtained from plants exposed to 1000 mg l$^{−1}$ nano-TiO$_{2}$ treatment. Although the extract from all treated plants improved antioxidant activity, it was highest for the extract obtained from plants treated with nano-TiO$_{2}$ at 200 mg l$^{−1}$ with an IC$_{50}$ value of 2.44 µg g$^{−1}$ dry wt. as compared to that of control plants (6.42 µg g$^{−1}$ dry wt.) and butylated hydroxytoluene as positive probe (3.68 µg g$^{−1}$ dry wt.). It was suggested for the first time that nano-TiO$_{2}$ may act as an elicitor to improve secondary metabolism in S. officinalis plants for biosynthesis of natural antioxidants. |

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.
