The objective of the article is to investigate the chemical composition of roots methanolic extract and to evaluate the polyphenol content and antioxidant potential. Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy (GC-MS) and High-Performance Liquid Chromatography - Photo Diode Array (HPLC-PDA) techniques were used to characterize chemical composition of methanolic extract of roots. The GC-MS analysis extract resulted in the isolation of thirty-seven phytochemical constituents in methanol extracts.

The present study for the first time investigated the effects of Salicylic acid (SA) (50, 100 and 200 mg/L) on growth and antioxidant capacity of . SA significantly enhanced shoot multiplication at 100 mg/L concentration. The result showed highest significant increase in antioxidant activity by 50 mg/L SA elicited plantlets in terms of DPPH (2,2-Di-phenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl) free radical scavenging activity (IC50 32.
