Aquatic Vascular Plant Species Distribution Maps
Appendix 11.5.1: Aquatic Vascular Plant Species Distribution Maps These distribution maps are for 116 aquatic vascular macrophyte species (Table 1). Aquatic designation follows habitat descriptions in Haines and Vining (1998), and includes submergent, floating and some emergent species. See Appendix 11.4 for list of species. Also included in Appendix 11.4 is the number of HUC-10 watersheds from which each taxon has been recorded, and the county-level distributions. Data are from nine sources, as compiled in the MABP database (plus a few additional records derived from ancilliary information contained in reports from two fisheries surveys in the Upper St. John basin organized by The Nature Conservancy). With the exception of the University of Maine herbarium records, most locations represent point samples (coordinates were provided in data sources or derived by MABP from site descriptions in data sources). The herbarium data are identified only to township. In the species distribution maps, town-level records are indicated by center-points (centroids). Figure 1 on this page shows as polygons the towns where taxon records are identified only at the town level.

Protein Interaction Pathway
Original Article Anti-diarrheal Activity of Caffeine: A Modulatory Effect with Loperamide and through 6FH5 (PIK3CG) Protein Interaction Pathway Farhana Faria1, Shardar Mohammad Hafiz Hassan1, Rajib Hossain1, Mahmuda Akter Mukta1, Md. Ashiqur Rahman Chowdhury2, Muhammad Torequl Islam1,* 1Department of Pharmacy, Life Science Faculty, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Science and Technology University, Gopalganj, Dhaka, BANGLADESH. 2Department of Chemistry, University of Chittagong, Chittagonj, BANGLADESH. ABSTRACT Background: Caffeine (CAF) is known for its central nervous system stimulatory effect. Although, CAF use in diarrhea, especially in Runner's diarrhea is still controversial, but it has been reported that dark tea containing CAF has anti-diarrheal effect on Sennae- mediated diarrhea in mice. Aim: To evaluate the anti-diarrheal effect of CAF and its modulatory effects on the standard anti-diarrheal drug loperamide (LOP), an opioid receptor agonist. Materials and Methods: CAF (15 mg/kg, i.p.) with or without LOP (3 mg/kg, p.o.) was administered to the Swiss mice (Mus musculus) previously treated with castor oil. Additionally, an in silico study was also performed to see the possible anti-diarrheal mechanism of CAF and LOP. Results: CAF increased the latent period, while decreasing the diarrheal defecation during the observation period (4 hr) in the test animals. Interestingly, CAF co-treated with the LOP exhibited a prominent anti-diarrheal effect in comparison to the negative control, CAF and LOP groups. Further, in silico study suggests that CAF have the most binding affinity with the 6FH5 (PIK3CG) protein (-8.22 KJ/mol) of adenosine receptor, while LOP with the μ-opioid receptor. Conclusion: CAF showed significant anti-diarrheal effect as well as strengthen the anti-diarrheal effect of LOP in castor oil-induced diarrheal mice.

Diversity of Nymphaea L. Species (Water Lilies) in Sri Lanka D
Sciscitator. 2014/ Vol 01 DIVERSITY OF NYMPHAEA L. SPECIES (WATER LILIES) IN SRI LANKA D. P. G. Shashika Kumudumali Guruge Board of Study in Plant Sciences Water lilies are aquatic herbs with perennial rhizomes or rootstocks anchored in the mud. In Sri Lanka, they are represented by the genus Nymphaea L. It has two species, N. nouchali Burm. F. and N. pubescens Willd (Dassanayake and Clayton, 1996). Water-lilies have been popular as an ornamental aquatic plant in Sri Lanka from ancient times as they produce striking flowers throughout the year. In addition to these native water-lilies, few ornamental species are also been introduced in the past into the water bodies. Nymphaea nouchali (Synonym- N. stellata) N. nouchali has three colour variations, white, pink and violet blue. They are commonly known as “Manel”. According to the field observations pink flowered Nymphaea is not wide spread like others. Blue and white Nymphaea are widely spread mainly in dry zone, Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, and also in Jaffna, Ampara, Chilaw and Kurunegala. Among these, pale blue flower Nymphaea or “Nil Manel” is considered as the National flower of Sri Lanka. Figure 01. (A)- Pale blue flowered N. nouchali, (B)- upper surface of the leaf, (C)- Stamens having tongue shaped appendages, (D) Rose flowered N. nouchali , (E) White flowered N. nouchali Some morphological characters of N. nouchali (Sri Lankan National flower) are given below and illustrated in fig. 01; A- flower, B- leaf, and C- stamens. Flower : Diameter 20- 30cm. Petals : 8-30in number, Pale blue colour, linear shape , 3-6cm in length 0.7- 1.5cm width .
