One of the commercially important athriquinone, Alizarin, is widely used as dye in the food and cloth industry.The production of alizarin by hairy roots of R. cordifolia was confirmed by HPLC analysis. The results show that the maximum amount of alizarin production was found in roots grown on MS media as compared to roots grown on other media.
