ABSTRACT:
India is one of the mega biodiversity countries in the world with massive forests as a hub for indigenous medicinal plant resources. Costus speciosus (Koen. ex. Retz.) Sm. is a valuable medicinal herb of tropical and subtropical India, known for its anti-diabetic property. It is used for the treatment of various disorders in traditional systems of medicine such as Ayurveda and Siddha. Pharmaceutical industries are fundamentally dependent on the conventional supply of medicinal and aromatic plant-based substances. Overexploitation of plants for the manufacturing of herbal pharmaceuticals, and illegal harvesting has caused wild habitat degradation. The antidiabetic plant is vanishing quickly from its natural habitat due to the indiscriminate collection of rhizomes which is the major source of various phytochemicals. The pace with which Costus speciosus (Koen. ex. Retz.) Sm. is being overexploited and depleted is frightening; consequently, the plant has right away turned out to be endangered in its natural habitat. Hence, the conservation of this plant is crucial. Biotechnological approaches encompassing in vitro methods like micropropagation, molecular characterization, molecular docking studies, and chemoprofiling can be employed to conserve the plant species from further exploitation and to overcome the burden on the wild population. These approaches will help in higher-scale propagation and will encourage sustainable consumption. Together with the application of these methods, appropriate agro techniques and an ample amount of marketing occasions would encourage the cultivation of Costus speciosus and thereby contribute to its conservation. This review article highlights diverse aspects of the plant which could provide leads for further research.
