to identify the environmental, social and economic impacts of a project prior to decision-making. It is a decision making tool, which guides the decision makers in taking appropriate decisions for any project. EIA systematically examines both beneficial and adverse consequences of the project and ensures that these impacts are taken into account during the project designing.

Flowers which are generally used for decoration and religious purpose are also thrown into nature as Seeds , Peels, unwanted material. They create lot of waste and are also hazardous. However, these parts Flowers , Bioactive of the plant are seeds, endowed with phytoconstituents and sometimes more than those compounds, present in other parts. The best was to minimize this hazard is making use of them in food, Medicinal plants, pharmaceutical and allied industries after proper extraction of bioactive compounds from Plant waste, them. To enumerate this idea, in this review, we have enlisted seeds, peels and flowers of Nanoparticles, 60 different plants along with their biological activity and bioactive compounds present in Biological activity them. Some are used directly as crude extracts while some are used to synthesize nanoparticles which show promising biological activities.

S., Geetha L., Lokesh T. and Manohara K. P. Sree Siddaganga College of Pharmacy, B. H. Road, Tumkur- 572 102, Karnataka, India. Accepted 5 November, 2012 The plant kingdom provides many plants with properties which are conducive to health and to secure the best results from the use of the plants as remedial agencies. Mesua ferrea Linn (Nagakesar) is a rare plant which is traditionally being used for its antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, blood purifier, anthelmintic, cardiotonic, diuretic, expectorant, antipyretic, purgative, antiasthmatic, antiallergic and several other effects. The scientific screening of the plant confirms its antioxidant, hepatoprotective, anti- inflammatory, central nervous system (CNS) depressant, analgesic, antimicrobial, antispasmodic, antineoplastic, antivenom and immunostimulant activity. The phytochemical screening confirms the presence of phenyl coumarins, xanthones, triterpenoids, fats and flavanoids as main constituents responsible for its biological activity. It is a substitute for petroleum gasoline. It is also used in cosmetics, as fire wood and the polymer obtained from seed oil is used in the preparation of resins. The present review summarizes the phyto-pharmacological role of this valuable medicinal plant. Key words: Mesua ferrea, traditional medicinal uses, phytochemical screening, pharmacological activities.

  • Two New Species of Beltrania, Reported from Forest Flora of South Sagar Forest Division of Central India Using Morphological Taxonomic Techniques
    International Journal of Advanced Science and Technology Vol. 29, No. 7, (2020), pp. 4483-4493 Two new species of Beltrania, reported from forest flora of South Sagar forest division of Central India using morphological taxonomic techniques 1* 2* 3* 4* Atul Kumar Pandey , Ravindra Singh Thakur , Sandhya Parihar , Akhila Nand Rai *– Laboratory of mycology and plant pathology, Department of Botany, Dr. Harisingh Gour Vishwavidyalaya, Sagar, M.P. India E-mail of the Corresponding author – [email protected] Abstract: During the investigation of fungal flora in their terrestrial ecological niche, very conspicuous symptoms were observed on plants (Pyrus amygdalus Batsch, Mesua ferrea L.). After the microscopic study it was observed that both the plants were infected with the same fungal genus Beltrania. Later on these fungal organisms were studied in detail by using morpho – mycotaxonomic techniques and found that although they were the member of same genus but there morphological taxonomic attributes were different and on that basis they were supposed to be the new taxon of the species rank viz. Beltrania rosacearum sp. nov. and Beltrania calophyllacearum sp. nov. This paper provides the illustration and description of B. rosacearum sp. nov. and B. calophyllacearum sp. nov. Keyword: Beltrania rosacearum sp. nov., Beltrania calophyllacearum sp. nov., Pyrus amygdalus Batsch, Mesua ferrea L., morphological taxonomic attributes. Introduction: Beltraniaceae family was established by Nannizzi in 1934 to accommodate the single genus Beltrania but later on many worker add many genera such as Beltrania, Beltraniella, Beltraniomyces, Beltraniopsis, Parapleurotheciopsis, Porobeltraniella, Pseudobeltrania and Subramaniomyces (Maharachchikumbura et al. 2016), Hemibeltrania (Rajeshkumar et al. 2016), Subsessila (Lin et al.
