Abstract
Standardization of biomass production in different vessels and bioreactor using explants and media for growth, total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity of shoot culture of Bacopa monnieri is described. Maximum number of shoots per explant, higher explants response irrespective of the type of explants, and higher shoot length was obtained on MS medium containing BAP (2.5 mg l(-1)) and IAA (0.01 mg l(-1)) with 3 % sucrose. This medium was selected by varying BAP concentration and recorded optimal for shoot culture on gelled medium. The condition of 0.5 cm explant size and 20 explant/40 ml (1 explant/2 ml) was optimal for high explant response, number of shoots per explant regenerated and shoots length. Among the different vessels used, maximum growth index was achieved in Growtek bioreactor (10.0) followed by magenta box (9.16), industrial glass jar (7.7) and conical flask (7.2). The cultures grown in conical flask (100 ml) were used as control. The total phenolic content and antioxidant capacity of in vitro grown plants was higher to that recorded for in vivo material. Among in vitro regenerated plants, the activity was maximal in the tissues grown in 250 ml conical flask. The most critical function for vessels is to support the optimum profusion (growing area for maximum growth) of shoots and for B. monnieri, Growtek bioreactor supported 1980 shoots l(-1) medium as compared to control (938 shoots l(-1)). Growtek bioreactor was considered effective system to produce B. monnieri biomass in culture without loss of antioxidant properties.

Abstract
Puerarin accumulation during shoot cultures in static and liquid medium with or without aeration is described in Pueraria tuberosa (Roxb. ex Willd.) DC. Maximum shoot induction from nodal explants was achieved on Murashige and Skoog's medium supplemented with 1.13 μM TDZ and 0.25 μM IBA after 4 weeks of growth. Puerarin content was higher in shoot cultures grown in liquid medium as compared to static medium. When shoots were grown in growtek bioreactor with different aeration volume, maximum puerarin content (1484 μg/g DW) was recorded with 20 % v/v aeration which was ~2.3 fold higher than puerarin content recorded in control cultures (cultures grown in growtek without aeration). Aeration requirement for organized (shoot) cultures was different for growth and puerarin accumulation.

Abstract
Suspension cultures of Pueraria tuberosa, a woody legume, have been established and using different concentrations of growth regulators, sucrose, ammonium and nitrate nitrogen, attempts have been made to improve their isoflavonoid content. The cell cultures grew well on all the treatments. Up to approximately 8 folds increased isoflavonoids content was recorded in the cultures grown in MS medium modified with nitrogen and supplemented with 1 mg 1(-1) of kinetin.

Abstract
Isoflavonoid contents of different plant parts and callus tissues of the Indian Kudzu, Pueraria tuberosa (Roxb.ex.Willd.) DC are presented. The initial cultures were slow growing, associated with browning of the tissues. The production of four isoflavonoids (puerarin, genistin, genistein and daidzein) in the callus cultures of P. tuberosa was studied by manipulating the plant growth regulators and sucrose concentration in the medium. Organogenesis was not recorded in callus on any of these treatments. Tuber and stem accumulated puerarin, a glycoside of daidzein, at high amounts, 0.65% and 0.054% respectively. However, the daidzein content of the callus tissues grown on Murashige and Skoog medium containing BA (20.9 microM) and sucrose (60 gl(-1)) was significantly higher (0.056%) than in vivo plant material (0.02%) and other comparable culture systems like Genista and Pueraria lobata.

Abstract
An extract from in vitro cultures of Curculigo orchioides grown as bulbils in shake flasks, afforded two new glucosides of substituted benzylbenzoate - curculigoside C (3) and curculigoside D (4) - together with two known compounds - curculigoside A (1) and curculigoside B (2). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral evidence, in particular by using 2D NMR methods. Their vasoactive properties were assessed in isolated rat aortic rings.

Abstract
Somatic embryogenesis in callus cultures of Commiphora wightii (Arnott.) Bhandari was achieved. Though the frequency of explants producing embryonic culture was low, immature zygotic embryos were the only suitable explants to produce embryonic callus after reciprocal transfers on media containing 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy acetic acid (0.1 mgl(-1)) and kinetin (0.1 mgl(-1)) or devoid of growth regulators. All other media failed to produce embryonic callus. Embryonic cells were small, densely filled with cytoplasm and isodiametric as compared to non-embryonic cells, which were large, elongated and vacuolated. Maximum growth of embryonic callus was recorded on modified MS medium (MS-2 medium) supplemented with BA (0.25 mgl(-1)) and IBA (0.1 mgl(-1)). MS-2 salts supported higher growth of callus as compared to tissues grown on B5 medium containing same concentrations of plant growth regulators. Exogenous medium nutrients had no effect on somatic embryo development whereas plant growth regulators had little effect. Asynchronously growing embryos formed plantlets regularly which were successfully transferred to the field conditions.

Abstract
An efficient method has been developed for large-scale multiplication of Curculigo orchioides (Hypoxidaceae), an endangered medicinal plant, through direct bulbil formation from leaf explants in shake flask cultures. Leaf-segments (7 x 10 mm) were cultured in B5 liquid medium containing KNO3 (200 mgNL-1), (NH4)2SO4 (50 mgNL-1), benzyl adenosine (2.2 microM), adenine (0.11 mM), indole butyric acid (1.0 microM) and polyvinyl pyrrolidone (250 mgL-1). About 95% of explants produced maximum number of bulbils (546/flask at 6 weeks growth) in the medium. Shake flask cultures yielded 2737 bulbils/L medium whereas static cultures yielded 624 bulbils/L medium. Germination of bulbils was maximum (90.62%) on agar-gelled B5 medium containing benzyl adenosine (2.2 microM) and gibberellic acid (3.5 microM). Plantlets developed in vitro were successfully transferred to soil with a high rate of survivability (90%) and were comparable to natural population in growth and vigour.

Abstract
Cultures of C. pendulus were maintained on hormone free and hormone supplemented (NAA 1.0 mg/l and kinetin 0.5 mg/l) Murashige and Skoog medium. During the growth period, hormone free cultures had higher phenolic content, polyphenol oxidase activity and less protein content, peroxidase and IAA oxidase activity. Activity of all the three oxidising enzymes and phenolic content were high at 16 days growth. Total lipid content was higher (2.7-folds at 15 days) in hormone free cultures. Phospholipid content of both cultures was not markedly dissimilar except PC and DGDG contents. Thus it is evidenced that both the tissues were similar metabolically.

Abstract
Explants and callus of C. pendulus produced intense brown substances in the medium which caused necrosis. Various anti-oxidants (ascorbic acid, cysteine and dithiothreitol) and adsorbents (activated charcoal and polyvinyl pyrrolidone) were used in different concentrations to prevent browning of the tissues. These in MS medium affected differently the growth, colour and texture of the tissues. It was concluded that both peroxidase and phenolase were involved in the browning. Increased peroxidase activity and decreased phenolase activity were probably due to more peroxidative oxidation of phenols and unavailability of substrate for phenolase activity. This resulted in faster growth of tissues, which further reduced the phenolase activity.
