Medicinal plants are rich sources of bioactive compounds, which are being used in
pharmaceutical industries. To date, due to commercial exploitation there is an acute
shortage of population in their natural habitats. Domestication and cultivation is
often difficult due to agro-climatic constraints. Hence, the production of secondary
metabolites via the cultivation of plants through new technologies such as tissue
culture, including through advanced bioreactor is the way forward. In this study,
Phyllanthus pulcher an important medicinal plant was used to establish tissue culture
system through the use of statistical models for estimation of secondary metabolites
via manipulation of media, elicitors and plant growth regulators. Three selected
accessions out of 35 accessions maintained in the field AGRO-GENE BANK
Department of Crop Science (UPM) were screened for secondary metabolites
following which accession 11383 was selected and used for tissue culture

experiments which consisted of establishment of sterilization protocol, callus
induction, media optimization, elicitors and PGRs effects. Sterilization protocol was
established using Clorox and Ethanol. The results revealed that the best method for
leaf explants was the application of 15% Clorox for 15 minutes followed by
immersion in 70% Ethanol for 1 min. To induce callus, the best result was observed
on the leaf explant at 30 mgL-1 of 2, 4-D. After inducing the callus, effects of four
types of media (Murashinge-Skoog, B5, DKW and WPM) at three different strengths
(half , full and 1.5 strength) and 3 harvesting times (15, 30 and 45 days) on callus
growth and secondary metabolites production were studied under both solid and
liquid cultures. The results of this study showed that for both solid and liquid
cultures, the highest secondary metabolites were produced in full strength WPM and
1.5 strength WPM respectively. The effects of carbon were investigated using three
different sources of carbon (fructose, glucose and sucrose) at three concentrations (1,
2, and 3 %). Results showed that sucrose at 3% had significantly higher secondary
metabolites content. To determine the effects of PGRs, different concentrations of
BAP was applied with two kinds of auxin (NAA and 2, 4-D). Secondary metabolites
content as well as callus growth were improved when 2 mgL-1
BAP and 2 mgL-1
NAA were applied on the callus for 30 days. The effects of Methyl jasmonate
(MeJA) and Salicylic acid (SA) as two abiotic elicitors were evaluated for growth
and secondary metabolite production of callus culture in P. pulcher. The results
revealed that high concentration of MeJA (> 10 mM) inhibits the callus growth. The
results further revealed that 1 mM of MeJA resulted in the highest yield for total
flavonoid and phenolic contents. Applying SA also improved the secondary
metabolite content while in higher concentrations (> 50 mgL-1
) all samples died. In
the final section of this research based on findings of previous experiments and

understanding of effective nutritional factors, PGRs and elicitors a Central
Composite Design (CCD) was conducted. The experiment included 54 runs with
different combinations of N, Ca, K, P, sucrose and SA. The data of this experiment
were analyzed using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) and Artificial Neural
Network (ANN) the result showed that ANN models are more flexible and adaptable
for prediction of secondary metabolite production in plant cell culture. Results
indicated that flavonoid and phenolic production in ANN model prediction were
higher than RSM prediction 4% and 19.6% respectively, while factors such as N, Ca,
K and SA had a lower concentration in ANN than RSM estimation.

Tumbuhan perubatan adalah sumber yang kaya dengan sebatian bioaktif, yang
sedang digunakan dalam industri farmaseutikal. Setakat ini, disebabkan eksploitasi
komersial terdapat kekurangan populasi di habitat semulajadi mereka. Domestikasi
dan penanaman adalah sukar kerana kekangan agro-iklim. Oleh itu, pengeluaran
metabolit sekunder dengan penanaman tumbuhan melalui teknologi baru seperti tisu
kultur, termasuk melalui bioreaktor maju adalah cara ke hadapan. Dalam kajian ini,
Phyllanthus pulcher sebuah tumbuhan perubatan yang penting telah digunakan untuk
mendirikan sistem kultur tisu melalui penggunaan model statistik untuk anggaran
metabolit sekunder melalui manipulasi media, pengelisit dan pengatur pertumbuhan
tumbuhan. Tiga aksesi terpilih daripada 35 aksesi yang dikekalkan dalam ladang

sekunder dimana aksesi 11383 telah dipilih dan digunakan untuk eksperimen kultur
tisu yang terdiri daripada penubuhan protokol pensterilan, induksi kalus,
pengoptimuman media, pengelisit dan kesan PGRs. Protokol pensterilan telah
dibentuk menggunakan Clorox dan etanol. Keputusan menunjukkan bahawa kaedah
terbaik untuk eksplan daun adalah penggunaan 15% Clorox selama 15 minit diikuti
dengan rendaman dalam etanol 70% untuk 1 min. Untuk mendorong kalus, hasil
yang terbaik telah diperhatikan pada eksplan daun pada 30 mgL-1
2, 4- D. Selepas
menginduksi kalus, kesan empat jenis media (Murashinge-Skoog, B5, DKW dan
WPM) pada tiga kekuatan yang berbeza (separuh, penuh dan 1.5 kekuatan) dan 3
masa penuaian (15, 30 dan 45 hari) terhadap pertumbuhan kalus dan pengeluaran
metabolit sekunder telah dikaji di kedua-dua kultur pepejal dan cecair. Hasil kajian
ini menunjukkan bahawa bagi kedua-dua kultur pepejal dan cecair, metabolit
sekunder yang paling tinggi dihasilkan masing-masing dalam kekuatan WPM penuh
dan kekuatan 1.5 WPM. Kesan karbon telah disiasat menggunakan tiga sumber yang
berbeza karbon (fruktosa, glukosa dan sukrosa) pada tiga kepekatan (1, 2, dan 3%).
Keputusan menunjukkan bahawa sukrosa pada 3% mempunyai kandungan metabolit
sekunder yang ketara tingginya. Untuk menentukan kesan bahan penggalak
tumbesaran, kepekatan BAP yang berbega telah digunakan dengan dua jenis auksin
(NAA dan 2, 4- D). Kandungan metabolit sekunder serta pertumbuhan kalus telah
diperbaiki apabila 2mgL-1
BAP dan 2 mg -1
NAA telah digunakan pada kalus selama
30 hari. Kesan Methyl jasmonat ( MeJa ) dan asid salisilik (SA) sebagai dua
pengelisit abiotik telah dinilai untuk pertumbuhan dan pengeluaran metabolit
sekunder kultur kalus P. Pulcher. Keputusan menunjukkan bahawa kepekatan MeJa
yang tinggi (> 10 mM ) menghalang pertumbuhan kalus. Keputusan juga
mendedahkan bahawa 1 mM MeJa menyebabkan hasil tertinggi bagi jumlah

kandungan flavonoid dan fenolik. Penggunaan SA juga menambahbaik kandungan
metabolit sekunder manakala pada kepekatan yang tinggi (> 50 mgL-1
) semua
sampel mati. Di bahagian akhir kajian ini berdasarkan penemuan eksperimen
sebelumnya dan pemahaman faktor-faktor pemakanan yang berkesan, penggalak
tumbesaran dan pengelisit Rekaan Pusat Komposit (CCD) telah dijalankan. 54
eksperimen dijalankan dengan kombinasi N, Ca, K, P, sukrosa dan SA yang berbeza.
Data eksperimen ini dianalisis dengan menggunakan Kaedah Permukaan Sambutan
(RSM) dan Rangkaian Neural Tiruan (ANN). Keputusan menunjukkan bahawa
model ANN lebih fleksibel dan cepat menyesuaikan diri untuk ramalan pengeluaran
metabolit sekunder dalam kultur sel tumbuhan. Keputusan menunjukkan bahawa
flavonoid dan pengeluaran fenolik dalam ramalan model ANN adalah 4% dan 19.6%
lebih tinggi daripada ramalan RSM, manakala faktor-faktor seperti N, Ca, K dan SA
mempunyai kepekatan yang lebih rendah dalam ANN daripada anggaran RSM.

1 GENERAL INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the study
During last decades, an increasing attention was paid to the medicinal plants as a
natural source for pharmaceutical compounds, which can be used to treat many
diseases and illness, and therefore these are high market value. Only 5000 of 250000
to 300000 plant species have been identified for their medicinal characteristics.
Unfortunately, many of these species were almost extinct because of over collections
from their natural habitats for marketing purposes. Domestic cultivation of medicinal
plants compared to wild conditions led to a low amount of secondary metabolites
production and it is difficult to increase secondary metabolites content through
farming practices.
Today at the beginning of third millennium, biotechnology has become an important
applied science, which has shown an incredible effect on different aspects of human
life especially in health and wealth. Biotechnology has provided the possibility of
cell and organ cultures for many plant species including medicinal plants. The
production of secondary metabolites in plant cell suspension cultures has been
developed for various medicinal plants. In recent years, a new capable outlook for
metabolic engineering has opened to improve secondary metabolites production
through plant cell culture. Large-scale plant cell culture is essential for the industrial
production of phytochemicals.

There are major advantages of a cell culture system over the conventional cultivation
of whole plants. Plant’s secondary metabolites can be produced under controlled
conditions independent of climatic factors. Cell culture systems are clean and free of
microbes and insects. Plants cells also could easily be multiplied to yield their
specific metabolites therefore automated control of cell growth and rational
regulation of metabolites processes can be applied. Secondary metabolite is
extractable from plant cell culture systems. In order to obtain high yields of
phytochemicals in plant cell culture systems, investigations have been concentrated
to optimize the cultural conditions, selecting high-producing strains, employing
precursor feeding, transformation methods and immobilization techniques.
Traditional methods for optimization are “one-factor-at-a time” techniques.
Unfortunately, this approach frequently fails to identify the variables that give rise to
the optimum response because the effects of factor interactions are not taken into
account in such procedures (Deepak et al., 2008). Application of factorial designs
and RSM is a common method in biotechnology to optimize the media components
and culture conditions. Response surface methodology (RSM) is an analytical tool to
determine the optimum conditions for a multi variable system and has been applied
for optimizing media for tissue culture. The level of nutritions, hormones, sucrose
etc. plays a crucial role in the growth and development of plants in vitro. In plant
tissue culture, in which the response variables are mostly numerical data, the
development of RSM in a generalized linear model (GLM) setup is of interest from
both a theoretical as well as an application perspective (Chakra borty et al., 2010). In
last two decades, artificial neural network has applied as one of the most efficient
method for empirical modeling and optimization in fermentation media optimization.

Advanced statistical methods such as Response surface methodology (RSM) and
Artificial neural network (ANN) provide an alternative methodology for optimizing a
particular process by considering the interactions among the factors and give an
estimate of combined effect of these factors on a response. Phyllanthus pulcher as a
medicinal plant was used in this researches. The plants of the genus Phyllanthus
(Euphorbiaceae) are widely distributed in most tropical and subtropical countries,
and have long been extensively used in folk medicine in India and most other
countries for thousands of years in the treatment of a broad spectrum of diseases,
such as disturbances of the kidney and urinary bladder, intestinal infections, diabetes,
and the hepatitis B virus (Calixto et al. 1998; Unander et al. 1995).
