Medicinal properties due to the presence of iridoid glycosides, phenolic glycosides, and cucurbitacin glycosides are well established. Depletion natural or otherwise of this plant are due to described reasons in this communication including elicitors and biogenesis of secondary metabolites. Since, leads are available for various effects and the fact of combinatorial molecules and propagational strategies makes its further value. Cellular effects during cultures in cell lines of this plant using elicitors of microenvironment of certain cell lines such as hyperhydricities, flowering, metabolites promoting for various molecular behaviours in plants during regime(s) of climate change.
