The moment has come to look into the deeper layer of heart, which is filled with the feelings of togetherness, loveliness, consolation and satisfaction, a sign of relief and sense of fulfillment. Some are momentary and some are permanent, but both involve a number of near and dear persons to whom I acknowledge my warm regards and take this opportunity to express my feelings during the course of my research and it is putting down in black and white. At the top of all, I take this opportunity to convey my deep sense of gratitude, reverence and indebtedness to Dr. G.V. BASAVARAJU, Professor, Department of Seed Science and Technology and Chairman of my Advisory Committee, for his meticulous guidance, persistence encouragement, generosity, thoughtfulness and timely advice extended till the last minute of my research as well as throughout the period of my study in the department. I equally avail this opportunity to express my deep sense of gratitude to Dr. R. UMASHAANKER, Professor, Department of Crop Physiology, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore for his excellent guidance, constant support, concern and advice throughout the period of my investigations and sustained interest, help and encouragement in the preparation of the manuscript. I sincerely and honestly confess that it has been a rare previlage for me to be one of his students. I would like to extend my thanks to Dr. B.C. CHANNAKESHAVA, Professor and Former Head, Seed Science and Technology, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore, valuable suggestions, affectionate gesture extended support throughout my venture of this study. I take this opportunity to It is my pleasure to thank Dr. A.R.V KUMAR, Professor, Dept. of Agricultural Entomology, for his valuable suggestions and guidance during my investigation. I express my heartfelt thanks to Dr. N. NATARAJA KARABA, Professor, Department of Crop Physiology, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore for his valuable suggestions and guidance throughout my study period. I wish to express my heartfelt thanks to Dr. P. BALAKRISHNA, Professor and Head, Seed Science and Technology, University of Agricultural Sciences, Bangalore of the department for helping me in conducting research work, their suggestions and encouragement during my course of study. I extend my thanks to department teachers Mr. R. PARAMESH, Mr. P. VENKAPPA, Mr. Venugopal Urs, Department of Seed Science and Technology, for their generous assistance during my study. My gratitude also goes to DST for the financial support that I received throughout my Doctoral Programme. It seems difficult to use the choicest words to measure the boundless love and tireless sacrifice of some one. I find no much adequate measures to quantify all that to my beloved Dad Aseervadam.G, Mom Grace Mary, my Husband Johnson, Brother Nirmal Vandhan(Late) sister Harika and my mother in law Mrs Pusphavathi who always encouraged me in all walks of my life. ‘Thanks’ is the worst word in friendship yet, I shall avail this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to my senior friends Dr. Ravikanth, Dr. Manjunath, Dr. Rama, Dr. Vasantha Kumari, Suma, Rajani, Sachita, Manasa, Soujanya, Anu, Chaitanya and Mohan and to my friends Amrutha. N, Madhuri, T., Sravanthi. K., Sravani, Shanti for their care, help, encouragement and the things they do in pleasant friendly ways to me. Last but not the least, I wish to express my indebtedness to all those whose names might have been left over but without whose help my thesis would not have been seen the light of the day. Bangalore May, 2015 (SARIKA GOWDIPERU) Metabolite profiling of camptothecin and related alkaloids during seed development, seed germination and seed defense Sarika Gowdiperu ABSTRACT Camptothecin, a potent eukaryotic topoisomerase inhibitor, is an important anticancer drug. With no synthetic source of this alkaloid and with an increasing global demand, it is imperative that the demand for camptothecin is met from a sustainable supply rather than the current destructive harvesting. Seeds of N. Nimmoniana have been reported to contain substantial amount of CPT. The present work has been undertaken to study the accumulation pattern of CPT and its related alkaloids during seed development, seed hydration, seed germination and early seedling growth of N.nimmoniana. The highest concentration of CPT was found in the unripe fruits (stage 3, 0.28 %) compared to either the young seeds or the ripened seeds. Camptothecin and its derivatives in the plant tissues were analyzed using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with LCMS in all parts of the seed, and it was found out that the maximum accumulation of CPT was seen in the endosperm (0.458 %). During seed germination, the content of CPT decreased up to seed hydration (0.12 % to 0.08 %) and thereafter it increased up to 8-week-old seedling (0.08 % to 0.388 %). CPT was shown to serve as a defense compound and has the ability to inhibit the fungal pathogens as well as protecting the seeds from storage pests (100% to 4%).
