Bochumer Bot. Ver. 10 258–263 2019 Zingiber officinale – Ingwer (Zingiberaceae), Heilpflanze des Jahres 2018 IRIS KABUS 1 Einleitung Der Verein zur Förderung der naturgemäßen Heilweise nach THEOPHRASTUS BOMBASTUS VON HOHENHEIM, genannt PARACELSUS (NHV THEOPHRASTUS) kürt seit 2003 die Heilpflanze des Jahres und hat für 2018 Ingwer (Zingiber officinale) aus der Familie der Ingwergewächse (Zingiberaceae) ausgewählt (Abb. 1 & 2). Ingwer erlebte im Laufe der Geschichte immer wieder höchste Beachtung. Vor allem im Mittelalter fehlte die Pflanze auf keiner Tafel, da sie Linderung nach Völlerei und fettem Essen verschaffte und den Reichtum des Gastgebers unterstrich. Eine weitere schon lange bekannte Wirkung ist die Hilfe bei Übelkeit, insbeson- dere Reiseübelkeit und Seekrankheit. Aktuell wird Ingwer in allen Lifestyle-Magazinen als der Schlankmacher schlechthin gepriesen. Abb. 1: Zingiber officinale, „Ingwerknollen“ im Verkauf (A. JAGEL). Abb. 2: Zingiber officinale, Ingwerblüte (Palmengarten Frankfurt, K. KAMM). 2 Name Der deutsche Name Ingwer, das lateinische Zingiber und der englische Ginger leiten sich von der altindischen Bezeichnung srngavera her, wobei das altindische srnga für Horn/Geweih steht und auf die hornförmige Gestalt des Rhizoms hinweist und veru aus dem Tamilischen für Wurzel stammt (MARZELL 1979). Nach GENAUST (1983) ist der erste Wortteil wahrscheinlich eine Abwandlung des Begriffs inchi aus der südindischen Sprache Malayalam und kann mit Wurzel übersetzt werden. Somit würde der Ingwer die wörtliche Bezeichnung „Wurzel-Wurzel“ tragen. -

Comparative Chloroplast Genome Analysis of Rhubarb Botanical Origins and the Development of Specific Identification Markers
molecules Article Comparative Chloroplast Genome Analysis of Rhubarb Botanical Origins and the Development of Specific Identification Markers Yuxin Zhou 1, Jing Nie 2, Ling Xiao 2, Zhigang Hu 1,* and Bo Wang 2,* 1 College of Pharmacy, Hubei University of Chinese Medicine, Wuhan 430065, China; [email protected] 2 Hubei Institute for Drug Control, Wuhan 430012, China; [email protected] (J.N.); [email protected] (L.X.) * Correspondence: [email protected] (Z.H.); [email protected] (B.W.); Tel.: +86-027-87705271 (Z.H. & B.W.) Received: 15 September 2018; Accepted: 27 October 2018; Published: 30 October 2018 Abstract: Rhubarb is an important ingredient in traditional Chinese medicine known as Rhei radix et rhizome. However, this common name refers to three different botanical species with different pharmacological effects. To facilitate the genetic identification of these three species for their more precise application in Chinese medicine we here want to provide chloroplast sequences with specific identification sites that are easy to amplify. We therefore sequenced the complete chloroplast genomes of all three species and then screened those for suitable sequences describing the three species. The length of the three chloroplast genomes ranged from 161,053 bp to 161,541 bp, with a total of 131 encoded genes including 31 tRNA, eight rRNA and 92 protein-coding sequences. The simple repeat sequence analysis indicated the differences existed in these species, phylogenetic analyses showed the chloroplast genome can be used as an ultra-barcode to distinguish the three botanical species of rhubarb, the variation of the non-coding regions is higher than that of the protein coding regions, and the variations in single-copy region are higher than that in inverted repeat. -
Plant Life of Western Australia
INTRODUCTION The characteristic features of the vegetation of Australia I. General Physiography At present the animals and plants of Australia are isolated from the rest of the world, except by way of the Torres Straits to New Guinea and southeast Asia. Even here adverse climatic conditions restrict or make it impossible for migration. Over a long period this isolation has meant that even what was common to the floras of the southern Asiatic Archipelago and Australia has become restricted to small areas. This resulted in an ever increasing divergence. As a consequence, Australia is a true island continent, with its own peculiar flora and fauna. As in southern Africa, Australia is largely an extensive plateau, although at a lower elevation. As in Africa too, the plateau increases gradually in height towards the east, culminating in a high ridge from which the land then drops steeply to a narrow coastal plain crossed by short rivers. On the west coast the plateau is only 00-00 m in height but there is usually an abrupt descent to the narrow coastal region. The plateau drops towards the center, and the major rivers flow into this depression. Fed from the high eastern margin of the plateau, these rivers run through low rainfall areas to the sea. While the tropical northern region is characterized by a wet summer and dry win- ter, the actual amount of rain is determined by additional factors. On the mountainous east coast the rainfall is high, while it diminishes with surprising rapidity towards the interior. Thus in New South Wales, the yearly rainfall at the edge of the plateau and the adjacent coast often reaches over 100 cm. -

It is important natural resources that provide many useful products for food, spices, medicines, dyes, perfume and aesthetics to man. Zingiber officinale, for example, has been used for many years as spices and in traditional forms of medicine to treat a variety of diseases. Recently, scientific study has sought to reveal the bioactive compounds of the rhizome. It has been found to be effective in the treatment of thrombosis, sea sickness, migraine and rheumatism. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE FAMILY ZINGIBERACEAE Perennial rhizomatous herbs. Leaves simple, distichous. Inflorescence terminal on the leafy shoot or on the lateral shoot. Flower delicate, ephemeral and highly modified. All parts of the plant aromatic. Fruit a capsule. HABITATS Species of the Zingiberaceae are the ground plants of the tropical forests. They mostly grow in damp and humid shady places. They are also found infrequently in secondary forest. Some species can fully expose to the sun, and grow on high elevation. DISTRIBUTION Zingiberaceae are distributed mostly in tropical and subtropical areas. The center of distribution is in SE Asia. The greatest concentration of genera and species is in the Malesian region (Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, the Philippines and Papua New Guinea) *Invited lecture presented at the International Conference on Biodiversity and Bioresources: Conservation and Utilization, 23–27 November 1997, Phuket, Thailand. -

Zingiber Zerumbet Flower Stem Postharvest Characterization(1)
CHARLESTON GONÇALVES et al. 127 TECHNICAL ARTICLE Zingiber zerumbet flower stem postharvest characterization(1) CHARLESTON GONÇALVES(2)*, CARLOS EDUARDO FERREIRA DE CASTRO(2), ANA CECILIA RIBEIRO DE CASTRO(3); VIVIAN LOGES(4) ABSTRACT About the Zingiber zerumbet little is known about its cut flower postharvest and market, despite its high ornamental potential. The inflorescences, which resemble a compact cone, emerge from the base of the plants and start with green color changing to red with the age. This study objective was to characterize floral stem of ornamental ginger in two cultivate conditions and to evaluate the longevity of those submitted to post-harvest treatments. Flower stems were harvest from clumps cultivated under full sun and partial shade area, and were submitted to the postharvest treatments: complete flower immersion in tap water (CFI) or only the base stem immersion (BSI). The flower stems harvested from clumps at partial shade presented higher fresh weight, length and diameter of the inflorescences compared to flower stems harvested from clumps at full sun area. The flower stem bracts cultivated in full sun area changed the color from green to red 10.69 and 11.94 days after BSI and CFI postharvest treatments, and the vase life were 22.94 and 28.19 days, respectively. Flower stem harvest in partial shade area change the color only after 18.94 and 18.43 days and the vase life durability was 27.56 and 31.81, respectively. The complete immersion of the flower stem increase the vase life durability in 5.25 and 4.25 days compared to flowers kept with the stem base immersed only, in flower stems harvested from clumps cultivated in full sun area and partial shade area, respectively. -

The current pantropical distribution of the order suggests an historical Gondwanan distribution, however the evolutionary history of the group has never been analyzed in a temporal context to test if the order is old enough to attribute its current distribution to vicariance mediated by the break-up of the supercontinent. Based on a phylogeny derived from morphological and molecular characters, we develop a hypothesis for the spatial and temporal evolution of Zingiberales using Dispersal-Vicariance Analysis (DIVA) combined with a local molecular clock technique that enables the simultaneous analysis of multiple gene loci with multiple calibration points. -
Zingiber Salarkhanii (Zingiberaceae), a New Species from Bangladesh M. Yusuf
Bangladesh J. Plant Taxon. 20(2): 239-242, 2013 (December) © 2013 Bangladesh Association of Plant Taxonomists ZINGIBER SALARKHANII (ZINGIBERACEAE), A NEW SPECIES FROM BANGLADESH 1 M. ATIQUR RAHMAN AND M. YUSUF Department of Botany, University of Chittagong, Chittagong 4331, Bangladesh Keywords: New species; Zingiberaceae; Zingiber salarkhanii; Bangladesh. Abstract Zingiber salarkhanii Rahman et Yusuf, belonging to the family Zingiberaceae, is described and illustrated from Bangladesh as a new species. It was collected from six different localities of hilly forests in Chittagong, Khagrachari and Moulvi Bazar districts. Morphological diagnostic characters of closely related species of the genus are discussed. Introduction The genus Zingiber Boehm. is characterized by its aromatic branched rhizomes, leafy erect pseudo-stems, lateral spikes, lateral staminodes adnate to labellum, forming a 3-lobed structure, tri-locular ovary and dehiscent capsules. The genus is widely distributed throughout tropical Asia by more than 100 species (Mabberley, 2008). It is known to be represented in Bangladesh by 6 species, viz., Zingiber capitatum Roxb., Z. officinale Rosc., Z. purpureum Rosc., Z. roseum (Roxb.) Rosc., Z. rubens Roxb. and Z. zerumbet (L.) R.M. Smith (Yusuf, 2008). While working with the family Zingiberaceae since 1993 for its species diversity and complete inventory for the flora of Bangladesh, we came across some unidentified specimens of the genus Zingiber Boehm. collected from the forests of Chittagong, Khagrachari and Moulvi Bazar districts which could not be matched with any named species of the genus. The specimens were critically examined and described. Consultation of relevant literature (Roxburgh, 1814, 1820, 1832; Wallich, 1829-1849; Baker, 1890; Prain, 1903; Heinig, 1925; Kanzilal et.
