Accessibility Controls

Implementing Organization

Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology (IHBT)

Project Overview

These roots contain valerenic acid and its derivatives that are used as tranquilizers in traditional as well as modern system of medicine around the world.

Benefits

Salient features of the process are: Sustainable process to generate in vitro adventitious root from Valeriana jatamansi independent of environmental and geographical barriers
, Short in vitro cultivation cycle (40 days) as compared to natural habitat (24 months), Novel metabolic profile owing to the presence of hydroxyvaleric acid
