Biotechnology for propagation and secondary metabolite production in Bacopa monnieri

Rupa Sanyal et al.

Summary: Bacopa monnieri, also known as water hyssop or Brahmi, is a small herb commonly used in Ayurvedic medicine for its memory-enhancing and cognition-improving effects. Recent research has focused on the pharmacologically active compounds in this plant, such as brahmine, alkaloids, herpestine, and saponins, including bacoside A, bacoside B, and betulic acid. Studies have shown its neuroprotective and memory-supporting properties, as well as other therapeutic activities like antimicrobial and antioxidant effects. However, overexploitation and habitat destruction have put this plant at risk of extinction, necessitating conservation efforts. In vitro studies have explored methods like organogenesis and cell suspension cultures to produce and enhance bacosides, as well as genetic transformation techniques. Molecular marker-based studies have also demonstrated clonal fidelity among natural and in vitro-generated plantlets. The review highlights the recent advancements in in vitro studies of B. monnieri, including root and shoot organogenesis, callus induction, secondary metabolite production, acclimatization of plantlets, genetic transformation, and clonal fidelity.
