Altered biomass allocation and quality improvement in roots of Indian . through physiological interventions.

Ashwagandha (), known as Indian , contains three major bioactive compounds, withaferin-A (WA), 12-deoxywithastramonolide (WO) and withanoloide A (WD). In a field experiment, the impacts of foliar application of growth retardants/promoters was assessed with respect to biomass allocation pattern and major withanoloide content at different phenological stages in Biomass accumulation pattern showed that foliar application of 500 mg lethrel at 50, 65, 85, 105, and 120 days after sowing (DAS) restricted phenological progression and reduced berry weight by 61% as comparted to the control at 160 DAS. 500 mg l succinic acid foliar application resulted in maximum plant height (56.

Anthocyanins from L., a promising biomolecule for development of cost-effective and widely applicable pH indicator.

A novel cost-effective and widely applicable pH indicator was developed using anthocyanins extracted from the purple subtype of L. and common lab filter paper. This pH indicator was successfully tested to monitor the pH of a wide range of buffers, solutions, irrigation water, and soil solution.
