ABSTRACT Canna indica L. is a tropical herb belonging to family Cannaceae. It has been widely used in traditional medicine for the treatment of many complains. The phytochemical analysis of Canna indica showed that it contained various phytochemicals including flavonoids, carbohydrates, terpenoids, alkaloids, proteins, steroids, cardiac glycosides, oils, saponins, tannins, anthocyanin pigments, phlobatinins & many other chemical compounds. The pharmacological studies showed that Canna indica plant exerted antiviral anthelmintic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, antioxidant, molluscicidal, cytotoxic, hepatoprotective, analgesic immunmodulatory, hemostatic, anti-diarrheal and other effects. This article aims to provide information which is required to claim & explore its pharmacognostic& pharmacological profile. Every part of Canna has beneficial properties that can serve humanity so the whole plant can be extensively studied for further research aspects.

Academic Editors: Douglas D. Archbold and Kazumi Nakabayashi Received: 23 February 2015 / Accepted: 30 April 2015 / Published: 8 May 2015 Abstract: Canna indica Linn. (Cannaceae), is used both as medicine and food. Traditionally, various parts of C. indica are exploited to treat blood pressure, dropsy, fever, inflammatory diseases etc. However, till date there is no reliable micropropagation protocol for C. indica. We present here a regeneration technique of C. indica with banana micropropagation medium (BM). BM supplemented with 3% sucrose, 0.7% agar, −1 and 0.17% NH4NO3 and different plant growth regulators like BAP (2 mg·L ) and NAA (0.5 mg·L−1) was found to be effective in inducing callus in C. indica. BM with BAP (2 mg·L−1) was ideal for somatic embryogenesis and plantlet regeneration. After a period of 3 months, regenerated plantlets were successfully transferred to the field conditions. Appearance of somaclonal variation among the regenerated plants is a common problem which could be assessed by DNA fingerprinting.

  • Resolution of Deep Angiosperm Phylogeny Using Conserved Nuclear Genes and Estimates of Early Divergence Times
    ARTICLE Received 24 Mar 2014 | Accepted 11 Aug 2014 | Published 24 Sep 2014 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms5956 OPEN Resolution of deep angiosperm phylogeny using conserved nuclear genes and estimates of early divergence times Liping Zeng1, Qiang Zhang2, Renran Sun1, Hongzhi Kong3, Ning Zhang1,4 & Hong Ma1,5 Angiosperms are the most successful plants and support human livelihood and ecosystems. Angiosperm phylogeny is the foundation of studies of gene function and phenotypic evolution, divergence time estimation and biogeography. The relationship of the five divergent groups of the Mesangiospermae (B99.95% of extant angiosperms) remains uncertain, with multiple hypotheses reported in the literature. Here transcriptome data sets are obtained from 26 species lacking sequenced genomes, representing each of the five groups: eudicots, monocots, magnoliids, Chloranthaceae and Ceratophyllaceae. Phylogenetic analyses using 59 carefully selected low-copy nuclear genes resulted in highly supported relationships: sisterhood of eudicots and a clade containing Chloranthaceae and Ceratophyllaceae, with magnoliids being the next sister group, followed by monocots. Our topology allows a re-examination of the evolutionary patterns of 110 morphological characters. The molecular clock estimates of Mesangiospermae diversification during the late to middle Jurassic correspond well to the origins of some insects, which may have been a factor facilitating early angiosperm radiation. 1 State Key Laboratory of Genetic Engineering and Collaborative Innovation Center for Genetics and Development, Ministry of Education Key Laboratoryof Biodiversity Sciences and Ecological Engineering, Institute of Plant Biology, Institute of Biodiversity Science, Center for Evolutionary Biology, School of Life Sciences, Fudan University, 220 Handan Road, Yangpu District, Shanghai 200433, China. 2 Guangxi Institute of Botany, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region and the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Guilin 541006, China.

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.

  • The Cannaceae of the World
    BLUMEA 53: 247–318 Published on 29 October 2008 http://dx.doi.org/10.3767/000651908X607945 THE CANNACEAE OF THE WORLD H. MAAS-VAN DE KAMER & P.J.M. MAAS Nationaal Herbarium Nederland, Wageningen University branch (Herbarium Vadense), Generaal Foulkesweg 37, 6703 BL Wageningen, The Netherlands SUMMARY This taxonomic treatment includes all Cannaceae of the world. Emphasis is on the 10 species grow- ing in the wild in the Neotropics. Included are chapters on the history of the taxonomy of the family and genera, and on relationships of higher level taxa. Data are provided on vegetative morphology as well as on floral morphology and floral biology. Structure of the inflorescence, the ovary and ovules, fruit and seeds, germination and seedlings are treated in detail. Finally a chapter on uses and vernacular names, a bibliography, and a list of over 200 names ever used in Canna are added. Key words: Cannaceae, anatomy, floral biology, history, uses, taxonomy worldwide, vernacular names. INTRODUCTION In 1970 P.J.M. Maas and his graduate student W. Segeren started studying the genus Canna making a first attempt at a revision of the species in northern South America. The monograph of Kraenzlin of 1912 was outdated and difficult to use because it had been written in Latin. The publication of Segeren & Maas (1971) comprised 10 species of Canna in 2 subgenera (Distemon and Canna). A few years later, when a second graduate student J. van Duuren joined the team, a worldwide monograph of the family Cannaceae was started. Mainly because of the taxonomic and nomenclatural complexity of Canna indica, the work could not be completed earlier.

  • Soil Service Garden Center, Inc. Canna Growing Guide
    Canna Growing Guide Cannas are native to the northern and southern hemisphere. Cannas do well in most areas of the United States, but flourish with plenty of heat and water. Cannas are very dependable; easy to plant and easy to grow. Cannas offer showy, tropical color from early sum- mer until frost. Cannas are regaining much of the popularity they once enjoyed as an old garden favorite. PLANTING: Cannas may be planted in the spring after danger from hard frost. In zone 7 we recommend planting from late March to late April. Adjust this guideline to your zone. Before spring planting, soil can be amended with com- post, manure and a high nitrogen fertilizer. Best results are achieved when planted in a loose, fertile and well drained soil that has warmed to 60 degrees. Cannas will tolerate a wide range of growing conditions. Cannas love full sun and require a minimum of four hours of direct sunlight. Plant rhizomes 12 to 18 inches apart. Lay the long part of the rhizome horizontal to the earth’s surface with eye up, if visible. This is not critical, as cannas will grow no matter which direction they are planted. Cover with 2 inches of soil. In colder regions, (6-8 weeks before spring), bulbs can be planted in pots and placed in greenhouse conditions. When danger of frost is past, remove from pot and plant outside. Cultivate often to keep soil loose and free of weeds. WATERING & FERTILIZATION: Cannas should be watered thoroughly once a week by slowly soaking the area around roots.
