L. is one of the important plant species of Nilgiris, Kashmir and Darjeeling regions of India, belonging to the family Plantaginaceae, with well-known pharmacological applications. In the present investigation, an culture technique of indirect shoot organogenesis of is being explored; the biochemical attributes, the antioxidant activities and the metabolomic analyses were made by utilizing untargeted Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) and Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography coupled with electronspray ionization/quadrupole-time-of-flight-mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-QTOF-MS) approaches.

Galanthamine is an immensely valuable alkaloid exhibiting anti-cancer and antiviral activity. The cultivation of plant tissues in in vitro conditions is a good source for the synthesis and enrichment of secondary metabolites of commercial interest. In this study, the Amaryllidaceae alkaloid galanthamine was quantified in three species, such as , , and , and the impact of the methyl jasmonate (MJ) signaling molecule on galanthamine accumulation was monitored in in vitro-derived plant tissues.
