ABSTRACT: The present study was aimed at induction of callus, micropropagation of Justicia wynaadensis (Nees) T. Anderson in vitro by using different explants and study of the phytocomponents present in the aqueous and methanol extracts of callus and leaf of in vitro propagated plants through GC-MS analysis. Callus was induced using MS basal medium supplemented with combinations of 2, 4-D, IAA and NAA growth hormones in various concentrations. For micropropagation hormone free MS basal medium and MS basal medium with BAP in various concentrations was used. Callus were obtained on MS medium supplemented with 2mg/L 2, 4-D. In vitro shoots were initiated on hormone free MS basal medium and well developed multiple shoots were regenerated on MS basal medium containing 1mg/L BAP. Four different extracts were prepared from callus and leaf of in vitro obtained plants and their phytochemical composition were analyzed by GC-MS. The extracts revealed the presence of various phytocomponents, with therapeutically important properties.

INTRODUCTION: Medicinal plants since ages have been used in Indian folklore medicine 1. Research on natural products is often based on ethnobotanical information 2. Secondary metabolites from plants are rich in phytochemicals with medicinally useful biological activities, which are used in the production of pharmaceuticals. Application of in vitro propagation techniques help in rapid multiplication of rare and economically important plant species 3. Mass propagation of medicinal plants by application of plant bio-technology has the potential to meet the demand of raw materials used in herbal preparations in pharmaceutical industries. Justicia wynaadensis a herb, belonging to the family Acanthaceae, which is endemic to the regions of Western Ghats of South India.
Traditionally native people of Kodagu District, believe that this plant posses medicinal properties and consume during monsoon season.
Studies have reported that extract of Justicia wynaadensis lowers cellular cholesterol and cholesteryl ester concentration, and novel inhibitory effect on the uptake of ox-LDL by human macrophage cell line 4. It was used externally for the treatment of rheumatic swellings by Kurichiar tribes, in Kerala 5. Reported 6 the anti-inflammatory activity of this plant.
The present study is focused on induction of callus and to identify the phytochemicals present in the aqueous and methanol extracts of callus and in vitro regenerated plants of Justicia wynaadensis by GC-MS analysis. These in vitro regenerated plants may possess therapeutically important phyto compounds which can be used in treatment of diseases.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:
Plant Collection and Explant Preparation: Plants were collected from Kodagu District of Karnataka, India and authenticated by Dr. K. P. Sreenath, Department of Botany, Bangalore University, Karnataka and it was identified as Justicia wynaadensis (Nees) T. Anderson. Stem cuttings with inter nodes were collected and were brought to the research centre to carry out further research work. They were planted in polythene covers with soil, periodically watered for better growth, maintained in shade condition and used as mother plant for further tissue culture work.
In the present study nodal buds, stem, leaves, meristems of J. wynaadensis were used as explants for callus induction and micropropagation of plants. Explants were first washed with tap water and surface sterilized by rinsing with 2 to 3 drops of Tween 20 for 15 min. They were treated with Bavestin for 20 minutes, followed by washing in sterilized double distilled water thoroughly. Explants were then treated with 70% ethanol for 30 seconds. Ethanol was removed and the explants were treated with 0.1% Mercuric Chloride solution. After Mercuric Chloride treatment, explants were rinsed with sterilized double distilled water 4 - 5 times for different time periods to remove the traces of Mercuric Chloride. Surface sterilized explants were incised and aseptically placed on the media and incubated under controlled temperature, light and humidity depending on the explant.
Induction of Callus: For callus induction stem and leaves explants were used. MS basal medium was supplemented with (2, 4-D, IAA and NAA) growth hormones individually or in different combination and concentration. Cultures were maintained at 24 ± 2 °C temperature under dark condition and 70-80% humidity.
Micropropagation: For initiation, meristem and nodal buds were used as explants and placed on hormone free MS basal medium. Then to obtain multiple shoots MS basal medium supplemented with growth hormone BAP in various concentrations was used to get true-to-type plants. Cultures were maintained at 24 ± 2 °C temperatures with 16 hrs photo period and 70-80% humidity.

Preparation of Extracts:
Extraction of phytochemicals from Callus and Leaf of Micropropagated Plants: 2gm of stem derived callus was macerated with 20 ml of sterile distilled water and 20ml of methanol separately for 24hrs. Both the extracts were kept in rotary shaker for 20hrs and kept unshaken for 4hr. Leaves of in vitro grown plants were excised, dried and ground into fine powder. 1gm of above powder was macerated with 20 ml of sterile distilled water and 20ml of methanol separately for 24hrs. Both the extracts were kept in rotary shaker for 20hr and kept unshaken for 4hr. All the four extracts were filtered using filter paper, and the filtrates were centrifuged for 30 min at 3500 rpm. The supernatant was pipetted out and filtered through Whatman No. 1 filter paper. The filtered extracts were used for GC-MS analysis 7.
GC-MS Analysis of Both Callus and Micropropagated Plant Extracts: Aqueous and Methanol extracts of both callus and leaves of in vitro developed plants of J. wynaadensis were subjected to GC-MS analysis.
GC-MS Condition for Both Callus Extracts and Leaf Extracts of Micropropagated Plant: GC-MS analysis was performed using a Shimadzu GCMS-QP2010S System. Gas Chromatograph interfaced to a Mass Spectrometer (GC-MS) equipped with an Restek RTX-5 Capillary column (length 30m × 0.25mm ID) and 0.25µm film thickness. For GC-MS detection, an electron ionization system with ionization energy of 70eV was used. The oven temperature was programmed from 60 °C to 310 °C at 10 °C/min and a hold for 10 min. Helium was used as carrier gas at flow 1mL/min. The injector temperature was 250 °C, injection size 1uL neat, with split ratio 1:10. Ion source temperature was 200 °C. The interface and MS ion source were maintained at 320 °C and 320 °C, respectively. Mass spectra were taken at 70eV; a scan interval of 0.5 seconds and fragments from 40 to 500 Da. Total GC running time was 40 min. The relative percentage amount of each component was calculated by comparing its average peak area to the total areas. Data handling was done using GC-MS solution software. The identification of compounds was based on comparison of their mass spectra with those of NIST 5, NIST 10 and WILEY Libraries 8.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION:
Callus Induction and Micropropagation: Induction of Callus Culture: Callus was obtained from stem explants. MS media supplemented with 2mg/L 2, 4-D found to be suitable for obtaining callus (Fig. 1a).
Micropropagation: After 1 week of inoculation of nodal explants on hormone free MS basal media, nodal bud and shoot growth was observed. Then after 4 weeks it was transferred to fresh medium supplemented with different concentration of BAP. 2-3 shoots with 1 inch height were obtained in medium with 1mg/L BAP, but MS medium with 4mg/L BAP concentration showed many shoots with less height (stunted growth) (Fig. 1b). MS medium with 1mg/L BAP was further used for 4 to 5 cycles to obtain more multiple shoots (Fig. 1c). After obtaining sufficient number of shoots, the cultures were transferred to fresh hormone free MS medium for shoot elongation. The shoots were increased in height after 4 weeks (Fig. 1d). The leaves obtained from elongated shoots were used for extraction.

Stigmasta-5, 22-dien-3-ol, (3.beta. 22E)-, (synonym-Stigmasterol) is an antihepatotoxic, antiviral, antioxidant, hypocholes-terolemic 8 and cancer preventive 22.
CONCLUSION: The present study revealed the presence of phytocomponents with various therapeutically useful properties from the aqueous and methanol extracts of callus and in vitro propagated leaf of J. wynaadensis by GC-MS analysis. The study has shown that extracts of in vitro regenerated J. wynaadensis is rich in bioactive secondary metabolites. In vitro propagation technique helps to obtain more number of plants in short period, from which potential bioactive phytochemicals can be isolated and used in pharmaceutical industries.
