Makhonpas, C., Phongsamran, S. and Silasai, A. (2015). Survey of mangosteen clones with distinctive morphology in eastern of Thailand. International Journal of Agricultural Technology Vol. 11(2):227-242. Abstract Mangosteen clone survey in Eastern Region of Thailand as Rayong, Chanthaburi and Trat Province in 2008 and 2009 showed diferential morphology as mangosteen phenotype was different and could be distinguished in 6 characters i.e small leave and small fruits trees, oblong shape trees, thin (not prominent) persistent stigma lobe thickness fruit trees, full and partial variegated mature leave color (combination of green and white color) trees, oblong shape leave trees and greenish yellow mature fruit color trees. Generally, rather short shoot, elliptic leaf blade shape, undulate leaf blade margin and thin or cavitied persistent stigma lobe thickness fruits are dominant marker of full seedless fruits that rarely found trees. Survey of mid-sized mangosteen orchards (200-300 trees) showed that over 70% full seedless fruits trees could be found only about 1-3% of all trees. Keywords: clones, mangosteen, phenotypes Introduction Mangosteen is a tropical fruit that grows and bears good fruit in Thailand. The fruit is delicious. It is popular with consumers both in Thailand and abroad, and has been called the queen of tropical fruits.

A few different classification methods have been elaborated for Garcinia species. These approaches however are not really practical in field identification because of inconvenience of transportation and usage of necessary scientific instruments to and from the field. The objective of this study was to carry out comprehensive systematic survey of Garcinia species using vegetative morphological characters. Variabilities among 30 accessions from 12 selected species of Garcinia vegetative were studied using standard unweighted pair group method using averages (UPGMA). Principal component analysis (PCA) was used to analysed the diversity and to identify the optimum number of morphological traits which explain a high proportion of variability. Accessions similarity analyses were performed based on 23 vegetative morphological characters. The results suggest that the sampled accessions fall into five groups. Group 1 consist of 16 accessions which are from species G.

Structural Diversity of Secondary Metabolites in Garcinia Species
JNTBGRI Diversity of Garcinia species in the Western Ghats: Phytochemical Perspective Chapter 2 Structural diversity of secondary metabolites in Garcinia species A. P. Anu Aravind, Lekshmi N. Menon and K. B. Rameshkumar* Phytochemistry and Phytopharmacology Division Jawaharlal Nehru Tropical Botanic Garden and Research Institute Palode, Thiruvananthapuram-695562, Kerala, India * Corresponding author Abstract Plants of the genus Garcinia produce structurally diverse secondary metabolites such as biflavonoids, xanthones, benzophenones, flavonoids, biphenyls, acyl phloroglucinols, depsidones and terpenoids. The rich diversity in chemical structures made the genus Garcinia attractive for the phytochemists. In addition, several industrial sectors such as cosmetic, food, pharmaceutics, neutraceutics and paints are centered around the genus. The genus is represented by more than 250 species, among which nearly 120 species were subjected to phytochemical investigation. A review of the structural diversity of secondary metabolites of Garcinia species revealed that xanthones are the important class of secondary metabolites, distributed in 74 Garcinia species, followed by benzophenones in 50 species and biflavonoids in 45 species. Biphenyls, acyl phloroglucinols, depsidones and flavonoids are some other interesting group of phenolic compounds in Garcinia species. The present chapter enlists the major phenolic compounds reported from Garcinia species. Keywords: Garcinia, Secondary metabolites, Xanthones, Biflavonoids, Benzophenones Introduction Plants

This book may not be reproduced in whole or in part without the prior written permission of the copyright owner. ii Foreword I am delighted to write a Foreword to the Book ‘Diversity of Garcinia species in the Western Ghats: Phytochemical Perspective’ edited by my student Dr. K. B. Rameshkumar who took Garcinia imberti as a subject for his doctoral studies. It gives me all the more pleasure and gratification to see that he continued with his studies on Garcinia species of the Western Ghats along with his students and colleagues. Unlike many other doctoral students, he kept alive his passion for the studies on Garcinia and the present book is the outcome of his dedicated efforts during the last one and a half decades. Pursuit of science is a passion and unravelling the subtleties of nature is an ecstasy which fulfils the inner urge for quest and discovery. The genus Garcinia is important by virtue of their reputation in traditional medicines, established pharmacological activities, diversity in chemical structures and potential nutritional properties. Despite recent progress in phytochemical and pharmacological studies on Garcinia species world over, significant gaps still exist concerning the exploration of the vast data on phytochemical diversity of Garcinia species.

Phytochemical and Antioxidant Studies of the Stem Bark of Garcinia Parvifolia
PHYTOCHEMICAL AND ANTIOXIDANT STUDIES OF THE STEM BARK OF GARCINIA PARVIFOLIA By LEE LE WENG A project report submitted to the Department of Chemical Science Faculty of Science Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science (Hons) Chemistry May 2016 i ABSTRACT PHYTOCHEMICAL AND ANTIOXIDANT STUDIES OF THE STEM BARK OF GARCINIA PARVIFOLIA Lee Le Weng Garcinia species belonging to family Clusiaceae have been long known to contain a wide array of chemical constituents, such as xanthones, depsidones, phloroglucinols, flavonoids and benzoquinones, which are structurally intriguing and biologically active. Meanwhile, Garcinia parvifolia was also reported to exhibit these bioactive chemical constituents, which are distributed over various parts of this plant. Hence, the stem bark of G. parvifolia was phytochemically and biologically studied in this project. The dichloromethane and ethyl acetate extracts of the stem bark yielded three xanthones, one tetraprenyltoluquinone and one sterol, namely α-mangostin [53], rubraxanthone [54], 1,3,7-trihydroxy-2,4-bis(3-methylbut-2-enyl)xanthone [55], [2E,6E,10E]-(+)-4β-hydroxy-3-methyl-5β-(3,7,11,15-tetramethyl- 2,6,10,14-hexadecatetraenyl)-2-cyclohexen-1-one [52] and stigmasterol [56]. The structure of these isolated compounds was successfully elucidated using spectroscopic methods, including NMR, IR, UV/Vis and mass spectrometry. Subsequently, the antioxidant activity of the crude extracts and isolated compounds was examined using DPPH assay. In comparison with the positive controls, ascorbic acid and kaempferol, the dichloromethane and ethyl acetate extracts exhibited moderate antioxidant activity with IC50 values of 41 and 45 ii µg mL-1, respectively.

List of Culinary Fruits
List of culinary fruits Some culinary fruits This list of culinary fruits contains the names of some fruits that are considered edible in some cuisines. The word “fruit” is used in several different ways.[1] The def- inition of fruit for these lists is a culinary fruit, i.e. “Any sweet, edible part of a plant that resembles fruit, even if it does not develop from a floral ovary; also used in a technically imprecise sense for some sweet or sweetish Papayas vegetables, some of which may resemble a true fruit or are used in cookery as if they were a fruit, for example rhubarb.”[2] Note that many edible plant parts that are true fruits botanically speaking, are not considered culinary fruits. They are classified as vegetables in the culinary sense (for example: the tomato, cucumber, zucchini, and so on), and hence they do not appear in this list. Similarly, some botanical fruits are classified as nuts (e.g. Brazil nut and various almonds), or staples (e.g. breadfruit), and like- wise do not appear here. There also exist many fruits which are edible and palatable but for various reasons have not become popular. 1 Alphabetical list by common An array of tropical fruits at University of Hyderabad, India name • African cherry orange (Citropsis articulata; Rutaceae) 1.1 A • African mango (Irvingia gabonensis) • Abiu (Pouteria caimito; Sapotaceae) • African moringa (Moringa stenopetala; • Açaí (Euterpe oleracea; Arecaceae), or Assai Moringaceae) • Acerola (Malpighia glabra; Malpighiaceae), also called Barbados cherry or West Indian cherry • Ambarella
