<title>MORPHOLOGICAL, PHYSIOLOGICAL AND BIOCHEMICAL STUDY OF In vivo AND In vitro RAISED Centella asiatica (L.) Urban </title>
<abstract> lessThan i greaterThan Centella asiatica lessThan /i greaterThan  (L.) Urban is commonly used for curative rationale and food relevance. In the present study, certain morphological, physiological and biochemical parameters of  lessThan i greaterThan in vivo lessThan /i greaterThan  and  lessThan i greaterThan in vitro lessThan /i greaterThan  raised plants were compared.  lessThan i greaterThan In vitro lessThan /i greaterThan  grown plant exhibited high level of chlorophyll (1.360 g/ fresh wt.), increased leaf area (2.5-3.5× 3.9-6.6 cm), low amount of phytic acid (2 mg/100mg), low ascorbic acid (10.95 mg/100g) and low SOD activity (428.52 unit/g) whereas  lessThan i greaterThan in vivo lessThan /i greaterThan  grown plant exhibited reduced amount of chlorophyll (0.930 mg/g fresh wt.),decreased leaf area (1.8-2.7× 3.6-4.3 cm), increased level of phytic acid (3 mg/100g ), ascorbic acid (12.44 mg/100g) and high SOD activity (491.22 unit/g). Study of these parameters restrengthens the potential of plant as nutraceutical for its food value as well as medicinal applications.</abstract>
