Abstract
In heritage, India is blessed with many medicinal and aromatic plants.
Natural and ayurvedic medicines were used by old people prepared from medicinal
plants for treatment of diseases. Now a days also, the importance of medicinal plants
remain as such due to their efficient way of curing and researchers focus more in the
field of medicinal plants. The present investigation has paid attention on one of the
important medicinal plants “Andrographis paniculata (Burm. f.) Nees.”, due to
presence of its valuable secondary metabolite “Andrographolide”. The common name
of Andrographis paniculata is kalmegh. The present study aimed to elucidate the
expression of candidate genes associated with biosynthesis pathway leading to
andrographolide synthesis in different genotypes of kalmegh at particular vegetative
growth stage. The validation of expressed genes was also carried out.
