Cissampelos pareira L. var. hirsuta (Buch.-Ham. ex DC.) Forman belongs to family Menispermaceae. The roots of this taxon are used in the treatment of various diseases like stomach pain, fever, skin disease, etc., in Ayurveda and is commonly known as Patha. Two other species, viz., Cyclea peltata (Lam.) Hook.f. & Thomson and Stephania japonica (Thunb.) Miers of the same family are being used as the source of this drug in various parts of India. This type of substitution or adulteration will ultimately affect the therapeutic efficacy of the medicines adversely. ISSR profiles of all the three taxa are generated and analyzed to assess the genetic relationships among these three species. The profiles of all the three species displayed a high level of polymorphism among them. ISSR markers developed can be used in authenticating and validating the exact species discrimination of the genuine raw drug of ‘Patha’ from its substitutes/adulterants to guarantee the quality and legitimacy of this drug in the market.

Introduction
The roots of Cissampelos pareira L. var. hirsuta (Buch.-Ham. ex DC.) Forman, Cyclea peltata (Lam.) Hook.f. & Thomson and Stephania japonica (Thunb.) Miers of family Menispermaceae are known as Patha in Ayurveda. They are used in the treatment of various diseases like stomach pain, fever, skin conditions, cardiac pain, etc., among which C. pareira var. hirsuta is the accepted source in Ayurveda (API 2001; Yoganarsimhan 1996). However, the plants of C. peltata are used as Patha in Kerala (Warrier et al. 1994). Authentication of raw medicinal plants is a fundamental requirement for quality assurance in herbal drug markets. Certain rare and expensive medicinal plant species are often adulterated or substituted by morphologically similar, easily available or less expensive species. Pharmaceutical companies procure plant materials from traders, who gather them from untrained collectors in the rural and forest areas. This has given rise to widespread adulteration or substitution, leading to poor quality of herbal formulations (Mehrotra and Rawat 2000). Herbal medicinal products may vary in composition and properties, unlike conventional pharmaceutical products, which are usually prepared from synthetic, chemically pure materials by means of reproducible manufacturing techniques and procedures. Correct identification and quality assurance of the starting material is, therefore, an essential prerequisite to ensure reproducible quality of herbal medicine, which contributes to its safety and efficacy (De Smet 2002; Straus 2002).
The morphological, biochemical or histological characteristics employed in the identification are prone to different environmental conditions (Kiran et al. 2010). Limitations of these markers for authentication of herbal drugs have generated a need to develop more reproducible molecular markers for quality control of these medicinal herbs. In view of these limitations, there is need for a new approach that can complement or, in certain situations, serve as an alternative. DNA markers are reliable for informative polymorphisms as the genetic composition is unique for each species and is not affected by age, physiological conditions as well as environmental factors (Chan 2003). DNA-based molecular markers have proved their utility in various fields of science and recently researchers have tried to explore the application of these markers in pharmacognostic characterization of herbal medicine. DNA-based techniques have been widely used for authentication of plant species of medicinal importance. This is especially useful in case of those that are frequently substituted or adulterated with other species or varieties that are morphologically and/or phytochemically indistinguishable. Attempts have been made to compare the source plants of Patha using anatomical and phytochemical markers (Hullatti and Sharada 2007, 2010). But, so far nobody has attempted to characterize these three species at the molecular level. The main objective of the present study is to evaluate the source plants of Patha using inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers for the accurate identification of C. pareira var. hirsuta, C. peltata and S. japonica.
Materials and methods
Plant materials and DNA extraction
The total genomic DNA was extracted from the fresh leaves of C. pareira var. hirsuta, C. peltata and S. japonica grown at the Centre for Medicinal Plants Research, Arya Vaidya Sala, Kottakkal, Kerala, India, using a modified CTAB method (Doyle and Doyle 1987). The leaf samples (0.2 g) were ground in liquid nitrogen using mortar and pestle and re-suspended in 2 mL of DNA extraction buffer [2 % CTAB, 1 % PVP, 1.4 M NaCl, 20 mM EDTA (pH 8.0), 100 mM Tris–HCl (pH 8.0) and 0.2 % β-mercaptoethanol]. The mixture was incubated at 65 °C for 30 min and centrifuged with equal volume of chloroform:isoamylalcohol (24:1) at 8,000 rpm for 10 min. The supernatant was transferred to fresh tubes and DNA was precipitated by adding equal volume of ice cold isopropanol. The DNA precipitate was washed with 70 % ethanol, air dried and stored in 500 μL TE buffer. RNA was eliminated by treating the samples with RNase A (10 mg/mL) at 37 °C for 30 min. Again, it was extracted with equal volume of chloroform:isoamylalcohol (24:1). Two volumes of cold ethanol were added in aqueous layer and centrifuged at 12,000 rpm for 10 min. Pellets were washed with 70 % alcohol, air dried and dissolved in TE buffer. DNA quantification as well as quality assessment was carried out spectrophotometrically using Biophotometer (Eppendorf—AG 22331, Germany). The DNA sample was also quantified on 0.8 % agarose gel electrophoresis.
ISSR-PCR
Nineteen ISSR primers (Eurofins, Bangalore, India) were selected for the present investigation. PCR for amplifying the DNA preparations was carried out in a 25-μl volume of reaction mixture. A reaction tube contained 25 ng of DNA, 1 U of Taq DNA polymerase enzyme, 2.5 mM of each dNTPs, 1× Taq buffer with 25 mM MgCl2 and 25 pmol primers. Amplifications were carried out in a DNA thermal cycler (Eppendorf, mastercycler gradient) using following parameters: 94 °C for 5 min; 35 cycles at 94 °C for 1 min, 49–59 °C for 1 min, and 72 °C for 2 min; and a final extension at 72 °C for 10 min. The annealing temperature was adjusted to a range of 49–59 °C depending on GC content and length of the primers. PCR products were subjected to agarose gel [1.5 % (w/v)] electrophoresis in 1× TBE buffer, along with 1 kb DNA ladder (Fermentas Life Sciences) as size markers. DNA was stained with ethidium bromide and electrophoretic profile was photographed on gel documentation system (Alpha Innotech, USA).
Results and discussion
ISSR fingerprinting of 19 primers generated 270 scorable fragments, out of which 252 were polymorphic (93.33 % polymorphism) (Table 1). The primers viz., UBC 808, 810, 840, 841, 855, 862, 881 and 900 exhibited 100 percent polymorphism. The number of polymorphic fragments for each primer varied from 7 to 19 with an average of 13.26 polymorphic fragments (Fig. 1). ISSR banding pattern exhibited a maximum of 133 fragments in S. japonica followed by C. pareira var. hirsuta (132 fragments) and C. peltata (119). A maximum of eight unique bands were observed in C. pareira var. hirsuta while screening with the primer UBC 851. Interestingly, the number of unique bands in C. peltata was less compared to other plants. But in S. japonica, six and seven unique bands were observed while screening with the primers UBC 890 and UBC 900, respectively. Here also, the total number of unique bands was highest in C. pareira var. hirsuta (Table 2).

Morpho-anatomical studies of roots of C. pareira var. hirsuta, C. peltata and S. japonica clearly indicate the significant differences among themselves (Hullatti and Sharada 2007). Hullatti and Sharada (2010) reported the HPTLC and HPLC fingerprinting of Patha plants and their studies clearly indicate the significant differences among the three plant materials. They concluded that all the studied parameters clearly indicate that roots of C. pareira var. hirsuta are the genuine source of Patha as it fulfills the ayurvedic claims of this drug. The present investigation confirms that there is no genetic relationship among C. pareira var. hirsuta, C. peltata and S. japonica. The high level of polymorphism and unique fragments detected in ISSR profiles authenticate that there exists a wide genetic disparity among the selected plants. The findings of the present study substantiate the reports on the applicability of ISSR markers to authenticate the herbal medicinal materials from its adulterants (Shen et al. 2006; Wang 2011). This investigation is the first report on the study of genetic relationships of Patha group of plants using ISSR markers.

Morpho-anatomical studies of roots of C. pareira var. hirsuta, C. peltata and S. japonica clearly indicate the significant differences among themselves (Hullatti and Sharada 2007). Hullatti and Sharada (2010) reported the HPTLC and HPLC fingerprinting of Patha plants and their studies clearly indicate the significant differences among the three plant materials. They concluded that all the studied parameters clearly indicate that roots of C. pareira var. hirsuta are the genuine source of Patha as it fulfills the ayurvedic claims of this drug. The present investigation confirms that there is no genetic relationship among C. pareira var. hirsuta, C. peltata and S. japonica. The high level of polymorphism and unique fragments detected in ISSR profiles authenticate that there exists a wide genetic disparity among the selected plants. The findings of the present study substantiate the reports on the applicability of ISSR markers to authenticate the herbal medicinal materials from its adulterants (Shen et al. 2006; Wang 2011). This investigation is the first report on the study of genetic relationships of Patha group of plants using ISSR markers.

ISSR fingerprinting of 19 primers generated 270 scorable fragments, out of which 252 were polymorphic (93.33 % polymorphism) (Table 1). The primers viz., UBC 808, 810, 840, 841, 855, 862, 881 and 900 exhibited 100 percent polymorphism. The number of polymorphic fragments for each primer varied from 7 to 19 with an average of 13.26 polymorphic fragments (Fig. 1). ISSR banding pattern exhibited a maximum of 133 fragments in S. japonica followed by C. pareira var. hirsuta (132 fragments) and C. peltata (119). A maximum of eight unique bands were observed in C. pareira var. hirsuta while screening with the primer UBC 851. Interestingly, the number of unique bands in C. peltata was less compared to other plants. But in S. japonica, six and seven unique bands were observed while screening with the primers UBC 890 and UBC 900, respectively. Here also, the total number of unique bands was highest in C. pareira var. hirsuta (Table 2).

Morpho-anatomical studies of roots of C. pareira var. hirsuta, C. peltata and S. japonica clearly indicate the significant differences among themselves (Hullatti and Sharada 2007). Hullatti and Sharada (2010) reported the HPTLC and HPLC fingerprinting of Patha plants and their studies clearly indicate the significant differences among the three plant materials. They concluded that all the studied parameters clearly indicate that roots of C. pareira var. hirsuta are the genuine source of Patha as it fulfills the ayurvedic claims of this drug. The present investigation confirms that there is no genetic relationship among C. pareira var. hirsuta, C. peltata and S. japonica. The high level of polymorphism and unique fragments detected in ISSR profiles authenticate that there exists a wide genetic disparity among the selected plants. The findings of the present study substantiate the reports on the applicability of ISSR markers to authenticate the herbal medicinal materials from its adulterants (Shen et al. 2006; Wang 2011). This investigation is the first report on the study of genetic relationships of Patha group of plants using ISSR markers.
