Chemical characterization and the intrusion through elicitation and Agrobacterium rhizogenes mediated hairy root transformation in Saussurea costus C.B. Clarke.

ABSTRACT: Saussurea costus (Asteraceae) commonly known as kuth, is an important medicinal plant with a rich repository of medicinally valuable compounds. During the present study, pharmacologically important sesquiterpene lactones namely costunolide, dehydrocostus lactone, betulinic acid and syringin were isolated from different plant extracts. Furthermore, the elicitation effect of jasmonic acid (JA) and different light regiments on the accumulation of secondary metabolites (costunolide and dehydrocostus lactone) was evaluated using HPLC. There was an increase in amount of costunolide and dehydrocostus lactone compared to control after 96 h of treatment with JA and continuous light. The amount of costunolide after 96 h was maximum 6.47 mg/g DW in response to JA as compared to control which w
