It has received very little attention in terms of development, standardization of production technology, and plant protection management practices. Sher-e Kashmir University of Agriculture Sciences and Technology (SKUAST-K) and other organizations have instituted programs for systematic improvement of Kala zeera. In this paper, we offer a synopsis of the latest work being done in promoting this high value crop, which would have a beneficial effect for the encouragement of economic activity in the Himalayas.

  • Well-Known Plants in Each Angiosperm Order
    Well-known plants in each angiosperm order This list is generally from least evolved (most ancient) to most evolved (most modern). (I’m not sure if this applies for Eudicots; I’m listing them in the same order as APG II.) The first few plants are mostly primitive pond and aquarium plants. Next is Illicium (anise tree) from Austrobaileyales, then the magnoliids (Canellales thru Piperales), then monocots (Acorales through Zingiberales), and finally eudicots (Buxales through Dipsacales). The plants before the eudicots in this list are considered basal angiosperms. This list focuses only on angiosperms and does not look at earlier plants such as mosses, ferns, and conifers. Basal angiosperms – mostly aquatic plants Unplaced in order, placed in Amborellaceae family • Amborella trichopoda – one of the most ancient flowering plants Unplaced in order, placed in Nymphaeaceae family • Water lily • Cabomba (fanwort) • Brasenia (watershield) Ceratophyllales • Hornwort Austrobaileyales • Illicium (anise tree, star anise) Basal angiosperms - magnoliids Canellales • Drimys (winter's bark) • Tasmanian pepper Laurales • Bay laurel • Cinnamon • Avocado • Sassafras • Camphor tree • Calycanthus (sweetshrub, spicebush) • Lindera (spicebush, Benjamin bush) Magnoliales • Custard-apple • Pawpaw • guanábana (soursop) • Sugar-apple or sweetsop • Cherimoya • Magnolia • Tuliptree • Michelia • Nutmeg • Clove Piperales • Black pepper • Kava • Lizard’s tail • Aristolochia (birthwort, pipevine, Dutchman's pipe) • Asarum (wild ginger) Basal angiosperms - monocots Acorales

  • Taxonomy, Origin and Importance of the Apiaceae Family
    1 TAXONOMY, ORIGIN AND IMPORTANCE OF THE APIACEAE FAMILY JEAN-PIERRE REDURON* Mulhouse, France The Apiaceae (or Umbelliferae) is a plant family comprising at the present time 466 genera and about 3800 species (Plunkett et al., 2018). It is distributed nearly worldwide, but is most diverse in temperate climatic areas, such as Eurasia and North America. It is quite rare in tropical humid regions where it is limited to high mountains. Mediterranean and arid climatic conditions favour high species diversification. The Apiaceae are present in nearly all types of habi- tats, from sea-level to alpine zones: aquatic biotopes, grasslands, grazed pas- tures, forests including their clearings and margins, cliffs, screes, rocky hills, open sandy and gravelly soils, steppes, cultivated fields, fallows, road sides and waste grounds. The largest number of genera, 289, and the largest generic endemism, 177, is found in Asia. There are 126 genera in Europe, but only 17 are en- demic. Africa has about the same total with 121 genera, where North Africa encompasses the largest occurrence of 82 genera, 13 of which are endemic. North and Central America have a fairly high level of diversity with 80 genera and 44 endemics, where South America accommodates less generic diversity with 35 genera, 15 of which are endemic. Oceania is home to 27 genera and 18 endemics (Plunkett et al., 2018). The Apiaceae family appears to have originated in Australasia (region including Australia, Tasmania, New Zealand, New Guinea, New Caledonia and several island groups), with this origin dated to the Late Cretaceous/ early Eocene, c.87 Ma (Nicolas and Plunkett, 2014).

ABSTRACT Carum carvi was used traditionally in different populations for many medical complains. It contained a wide range of chemical constituents. Essential and volatile oils, flavonoids, proteins, carbohydrate and many vitamins and trace elements. The previous studies showed that the seeds of the plant and its constituents exerted antimicrobial, anticancer, antioxidant, hypolipidemic, antidiabetic, analgesic, diuretic, gastrointestinal, bronchial relaxant effects and many other pharmacological activities. This paper is a step ahead to open a new insight for the therapeutic efficacy of Carum carvi. Keywords: INTRODUCTION Carum carvi belongs to the family Apiaceae, Kümmel; English: Black Caraway, Caraway; French: which originated in Europe, was cultivated nowadays in Carvi; Hindi: Kalajira; Italian: Carvi; Punjabi: Zira Siyah, different parts of the world from Northern Europe to the Kalajira; Sanskrit: Asitajiraka, Krishna jeeraka; Tamil: Western Asia.

  • Molecular Evidence of Polyphyletism in the Plant Genus Carum L
    Genetics and Molecular Biology, 30, 2, 475-482 (2007) Copyright by the Brazilian Society of Genetics. Printed in Brazil www.sbg.org.br Short Communication Molecular evidence of polyphyletism in the plant genus Carum L. (Apiaceae) Alessio Papini, Francesca Banci and Enio Nardi Department of Plant Biology, University of Florence, Firenze, Italy. Abstract An analysis of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) DNA sequences of the four species of Carum L. (Apiaceae) known in Italy revealed that this genus is polyphyletic. Maximum parsimony with bootstrap resampling, maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference analyses resulted in three distinct clades: Carum carvi L. clustered within tribe Careae Baill. (former Aegopodium clade); Hellenocarum multiflorum (= Carum multiflorum), Carum heldreichii and Carum appuanum clustered within the tribe Pyramidoptereae Boiss.; and H. multiflorum and C. heldreichii formed a well supported clade. Since the sister group of H. multiflorum and C. heldreichii was Bunium elegans the autonomy of Hellenocarum from Carum is confirmed by our study. We also found that C. appuanum clustered separately from the other Carum species, with the closest related species appearing to be Scaligeria moreana but this still had few mor- phological similarities with C. appuanum.

    Watsonia 25: 1–16 (2004) PRESIDENTIAL ADDRESS 1 The Rhos Pastures of South-west Wales and their Conservation Presidential Address, 10 May 2003 R. D. PRYCE Trevethin, School Road, Pwll, Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, SA15 4AL. ABSTRACT A personal view is presented of rhos pastures, the damp acid, often heathy grasslands which still occur frequently in South-west Wales. Their typical vegetation communities including examples of characteristic species and their survival, management, and social significance are described. The significance of Carum verticillatum (Whorled Caraway) in these grasslands, together with several other plants, are examples of species having Atlantic distributions which contribute to the particular character of rhos pastures. The history of the recording of Carum in South-west Wales and its distinctive character, together with its often abundant survival on the Carmarthenshire coalfield are explained but the example of the area between Cross Hands and Ammanford is given to illustrate how, in recent years, major losses have occurred due to opencast coalmining, commercial and domestic development and agricultural changes. In view of the apparent ineffectiveness of current protection measures, a plea is made to all concerned, for a concerted effort to conserve and maintain what remains. I consider it a great honour to be addressing you today, as B.S.B.I. President. My address is on a subject very close to my heart as it was these very grasslands which fired my enthusiasm for field- botany in the early 1970s. I should say re-kindled as it was Barry Goater, my school biology master, who gave me my first insight into field botany, some ten years earlier.
