ABSTRACT Canna indica L. is a tropical herb belonging to the 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 alkaloids, carbohydrates, proteins, flavonoids, terpenoids, cardiac glycosides, oils, steroids, tannins, saponins, anthocyanin pigments, phlobatinins and many other chemical compounds. The pharmacological studies showed that this plant exerted antibacterial, antiviral anthelmintic, molluscicidal, anti-inflammatory, analgesic immunmodulatory, antioxidant, cytotoxic, hemostatic, hepatoprotective, anti diarrheal and other effects. This review deals with highlight the chemical constituents and the pharmacological effects of Canna indica.

  • The Cherimoya in Argentina
    California Avocado Society 1942 Yearbook 26: 122-123 The Cherimoya in Argentina Ing. Hernando de Irmay (Translation) The cultivation of the cherimoya in this country is very old. According to data which I have been able to gather, the cherimoyas were brought here from Bolivia, possibly from the region of Tarija or Santa Cruz de la Sierra. There is no record that named varieties of cherimoyas were imported from the exterior, and the existing orchards are almost all of seedlings grown from seeds of the better fruits. In the regions of Salta, Tucuman, and Jujuy, where about 95% of the orchards are located, the method of budding that has been and is still in use is the "umbonata como pie" (bent like a foot, or bent at right angle) which method, up to the present time, has given the best results. At the present time we have in Salta a selection of the best varieties of cherimoya— varieties which have been chosen for their excellent fruits, good production, and greatest resistance to frost. This selection consists of nine varieties, and the distribution of these varieties has already begun. The difficulties which we have in extending on a larger scale the cultivation of the cherimoya consist of the small production of the trees under cultivation and of the poor resistance to occasional freezes in the areas being cultivated. ROLINIA ROOT-STOCK INCREASES HARDINESS In regard to increasing the resistance to frost, the writer started years ago to experiment with the Rolinia emarginata (Rolinia is a plant belonging to the botanical family "Annonaceae") a species which grows wild in Misiones, Formosa, and other areas bordering Paraguay, where it has resisted temperatures as low as 10° centigrade below freezing, on certain occasions, without injury.

  • Somatic Embryogenesis and Genetic Fidelity Study of Micropropagated Medicinal Species, Canna Indica

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.

  • Sapucaia Nuts (Lecythis Pisonis) Modulate the Hepatic Inflammatory and Antioxidant Metabolism Activity in Rats Fed High-Fat Diets

Received 1 April 2016, Accepted 18 May, 2016. Lecythis pisonis Cambess is commonly known as “sapucaia” nut. Previous studies show that it is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and in antioxidant minerals. The aim of the present study was to assess the antioxidant and anti-inflamatory effects of this nut after its introduction into a control (AIN-93G) or high- fat diet in Wistar rats. The animals were divided into four groups: a control diet, the same control diet supplemented with sapucaia nuts, a high-fat diet or the high-fat diet supplemented with sapucaia nuts and were fed with these diets for 14 or 28 days. The gene expression of the markers tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α NFκB (p65) zinc superoxide dismutase (ZnSOD) and heat shock protein 72 (HSP72) was determined by the chain reaction to the quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (q- PCR). The antioxidant activity was also measured as thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) through the activity of the SOD enzyme.
