Breast cancer is the most commonly encountered cancer in the females. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are the standard methods used in the treatment of cancer but these have various side effects also. Other complementary treatments based on plants and its products are used to lessen the side effects. Some essential oils are the potent source of the novel molecules and have been reported to have anticancer effect. In the present study, essential oil from Salvia plebeia has been screened for cytotoxic activity in vitro using MTT assay and has been observed to show inhibitory effect on the cancer cells with the increase in concentration against breast cancer cell lines, MCF-7 and MDAMB-231. The essential oil was observed to show IC50 at concentration 30µg/ml for MCF-7 cells and in MDAMB-231, IC50 was calculated to be 65µg/ml for 24 hours treatment. Essential oil was found to be effective against highly metatstatic MDAMB-231cells Exposure time effect was studied to know whether it has sustained effect or not and it was observed that essential oil had sustained effect at higher concentrations and longer exposure time was required to show sustained effect. Single cell gel electrophoresis (Comet assay) was used to find out its mode of action and it was observed to induce DNA damage in the cancer cells that might have resulted in cell death at various concentrations. Essential oil was observed to have antioxidant activity, which was studied using DPPH and hydroxyl radical scavenging assay. Various compounds like cayophyllene, alpha-humulene and cayophllene oxide were determined by GC-MS analysis. Cayophyllene was the major compound (46%). Some of the constituents might be responsible for anticancer activity of the oil. It has been concluded from the study that novel essential oil is very effective against breast cancer cells. This oil can be screened further against other cell lines and can be used as nutritional supplement. (Nandini Gautam) (Dr. Sunil Mittal) vii TABLE OF CONTENTS Sr. No. Contents Page No. 1.

It is a multifactorial disease leading to uncontrolled growth and invasion of the abnormal cells leading to the formation of tumour. The steep rise in the number of cancer cases may be attributed to change in food habits, use of tobacco and alcohol, chronic infections, exposure to harmful radiations and environmental pollution or more widely we can say due to change in lifestyle and environmental pollution (NCBI, 2010). As per International Agency for Research on Cancer, there were approximately 12 million cancer cases and these had accounted for 7.6 million deaths worldwide (around 13% of all deaths) in the year 2008. Moreover, cancer cases have been projected to increase over 13.1 million by 2030.

Poyang Lake, located in the middle reaches of Yangtze River (central China), constitutes the largest freshwater lake of the country. It harbours high biodiversity and provides important habitat for local wildlife. A dam that will maintain the water capacity in Poyang Lake is currently being planned. However, the local biodiversity and the likely effects of this dam on the biodiversity (especially on the endemic and rare plants) have not been thoroughly examined.

    Why we study phylogeny? Mobil! A tree is like a mobil! “Tree of Life” (Klimt, Austria) “Tree of Life” project http://tolweb.org/tree/ PHYLOGENETICS In biology, phylogenetics is the study of evolutionary relatedness among various groups of organisms (for example, species or populations), which is discovered through molecular sequencing data and morphological data matrices. The term phylogenetics is of Greek origin from the terms phyle/phylon (φυλή/φῦλον), meaning "tribe, race," and genetikos (γενετικός), meaning "relative to birth" from genesis (γένεσις, "birth"). Taxonomy, the classification, identification, and naming of organisms, has been richly informed by phylogenetics but remains methodologically and logically distinct.[1] The fields overlap however in the science of phylogenetic systematics –often called "cladism" or "cladistics" –, where only phylogenetic trees are used to delimit taxa, which represent groups of lineage-connected individuals.[2] In biological systematics as a whole, phylogenetic analyses have become essential in researching the evolutionary tree of life. • It is a genome world! - The first genome data: Haemophilus influenzae (1995) about 1.8M bp. - Homo sapiens (begun in 1990 and completed in 2001) about 3.3G bp. <$400,000,000 - in 2011, more than 30 plant genomes are determined. • Two examples for the effect of phylogeny in the text book: 1) the phylogeny transformed to systematics (classifications) 16S rDNA phylogeny: suggested three domains in the life. 2) the phylogeny showed evolutionary information HIV gene (env) phylogeny: gave evidence of infection pathway. HIV genome stored evolutionary information recount the very recent history of its spread. ► Not only just pure application to the systematics but also the tracing evolutionary history.

Pectolinarin, which belongs to the flavone subclass, has attracted considerable attention due to its presence in many medicinal plants. It has turned out to be a good biological agent especially due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic, and antitumor activities, evaluated both in vitro and in vivo. Its aglycone, the metabolite pectolinarigenin, is also known for a series of biological properties including anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic effects. In the first overview on the two metabolites here presented, their collection, isolation and the results of their biological evaluation are reported.

In this study, we investigated the flora of Gwang- deoksan Mt. from April of 2015 to October of 2017. Through 20 independent field investigations, we identified and tallied a total of 428 species, 9 subspecies, 30 varieties, and a forma in 287 genera and 97 families. Of a total of 468 taxa, 128 taxa in 112 genera and 58 families were found to be Korean endemic species (7 taxa), floristic regional indicator species (45 taxa), rare or endangered species (3 taxa), species subject to the approval of out- bound transfer (73 taxa), and alien or ecosystem disturbing species (32 taxa). The flora of Gwangdeoksan Mt. can be divided into four distinct floristic subregions, with higher diversity in the north-facing subregion. The complex flora of Gwangdeoksan Mt., emerging at the edge of two floristic regions of the Korean peninsula, may represent a significant conservation priority and a topic for future ecological and geographical studies.

Dumbrava Roşie, nr. 7-9, RO-700487 Iaşi, Romȃnia e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Salvia, the largest genus in the family Lamiaceae, includes species with different economic uses: medicinal, decorative, bee flowers, etc. In this paper we present new information on the nutlet morphology of 12 species of Salvia. The botanical material was collected from the Botanical Garden of Iaşi or from different parts of the country, and is represented by both wild and cultivated taxa. The binocular magnifier and photonic microscope allow highlighting of characteristics of the testa as regards colour, size, presence and arrangement of the abscission scar, and the presence of ornamentation. Nutlet shape is ovoid or ellipsoidal and the surface displays colliculate, verrucose, reticulate or foveolate ornamentation. A rarely used index is the ratio of maximum diameter of the nutlets and maximum diameter of the abscission scar, with values 3–18.5. To illustrate the taxonomic value of this information, based on all the observed features, a key has been developed for identification of the 12 Salvia taxa studied, based on characters of the nutlets. The phenomenon of myxocarpy, characteristic of Lamiaceae, revealed differences on the basis of its presence or absence, speed of occurrence, and consistency of the characteristic mucilage. As these observations differ from some data in the literature, explanation of some aspects requires further study. This work complements the theoretical and detailed iconographic information in the literature about nutlets, which is useful for clarifying some aspects of the taxonomy of Salvia.
