Accepted 9 November, 2009 The cytotoxicity of the crude methanolic extracts of Rumex hastatus, Rumex dentatus, Rumex nepalensis, Rheum australe, Polygonum persicaria and Polygonum plebejum (Family Polygonaceae ) was determined against Artemia salina at 1000, 100 and 10 µµµg/ml. R. hastatus, R. dentatus and R. nepalensis showed significant activity at a concentration of 1000 µµµg/ml against Artemia salina. R. australe showed low activity at 1000 µµµg/ml and no activity at 100 and 10 µµµg/ml. At concentration of 10 µµµg/ml, R. australe showed no activity. Similarly the phytotoxicity of the crude extracts of these six plants was determined against Lemna minor. All the plants except R. hastatus showed significant activity at a concentration of 1000 µµµg/ml. Moderate activity was shown by R. australe , R. nepalensis and P. persicaria at the concentration of 100 µµµg/ml. All the plants showed low phytotoxic activity at concentration of 10 µµµg/ml.

An Ethnobotanical Study of Medicinal Plants used by the Locals in Kishtwar, Jammu and Kashmir, India Mahesh Kumar, Yash Paul and V. K. Anand Department of Botany, University of Jammu, Jammu.-180006 e-mail. [email protected] Issued October 01, 2009 Abstract This study represents a systematic attempt to explore the knowledge of the native people about plants, which they use to cure diseases. And it is an attempt towards conserving the local knowledge of people to plants. This paper presents a list and uses of some medicinal plants distributed in the high altitude district Kishtwar in Jammu and Kashmir. The list was prepared during an ethno-botanical survey of the region from December 2007 to January, 2009. This paper provides information about 71 ethno-medicinally useful plants grown in this region. In this paper, family, botanical name, local name, ethnomedicinal uses are given for each plant. Introduction It is documented that 80% of the world population has faith in traditional medicines, particularly plant drugs for their primary healthcare (Kala et al., 2006). The use of plants for medicinal purposes and human sustenance has been in practice in India since the Vedic age. The earliest mention of the medicinal use of the plants is found in the Rigveda, 1500-400 BC, Athurveda 1500 BC, Upnishada 1000-600 BC (Chauhan, 1999). In India about 17000 species of higher plants out of which 7500 are known for medicinal uses (Shiva, 1996).

  • Traditional Knowledge on Herbal Drinks Among Indigenous
    Rashid et al. Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2018) 14:16 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13002-018-0217-8 RESEARCH Open Access Traditional knowledge on herbal drinks among indigenous communities in Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan Neelam Rashid1,3, Rodrigue Castro Gbedomon2*, Mushtaq Ahmad3, Valère Kolawolé Salako2, Muhammad Zafar3 and Khafsa Malik3 Abstract Background: Traditional knowledge about the use of medicinal plants for herbal drinks (HDs) is not well documented in the Azad Kashmir region despite their widespread use. This study highlights the taxonomic diversity and traditional knowledge on medicinal plants used for HDs while examining the diversity of diseases treated with HDs in the study area. Methods: Individual discussions were conducted with 255 informants (84 women and 171 men). Data gathered included (i) informant age and gender, (ii) HD species and respective plant parts used, (iii) health disorders treated, and (iv) mode of preparation and utilizations. Quantitative ethnobotanical indices including relative frequency of citation (RFC), informant consensus factor (ICF), and use value (UV) were used for data analyses. Results: Altogether, 73 medicinal plants belonging to 40 families and 66 genera were reported to be used in HD preparations, with Asteraceae being the richest family. The average number of HD species cited was 9.09 ± 0.17 per informant and did not vary either by age or gender. In addition, men and women, and adults and the young used the same pool of species (dissimilarity nearly zero). The most used plant parts were leaves (20.00%), roots (17.25%), and fruits (16.47%). Based on UV, the top five most used species were Valeriana jatamansi, Isodon rugosus, Onopordum acanthium, Acacia nilotica, and Viola canescens; and the UV was similar among gender and age categories too.

Abstract In this study, an attempt was made to overcome seed dormancy and enhance germination percentage of seeds of the two endangered and medicinally important species namely Rheum australe D. Don (syn. Rheum emodi Wall. ex Meissn.)/ rhubarb and Podophyllum hexandrum Royle for their effective conservation. The propagation of these species through seeds takes lot of time, due to dormancy and poor germination rate. Germination of seeds in R. australe was monitored up to 25th day of the treatment. The best results were recorded in 50 days chilled seeds with 92% germination;; followed by 86 and 82 percent germinations in 40 and 30 day chilled seeds, respectively. Treatment CHl3 (50 day chilled seeds) was statistically different from all other treatments including chilling treatments chl1 (30 day chilled seeds) and chl2 (40 day -3 -4 chilled seeds). Treatments GA31 (Gibbrellic acid 10 M) and GA32 (Gibbrellic acid 10 M) with 80% and 75% germination respectively, were at par with each other.

  • Identification of a Catalase-Phenol Oxidase in Betalain Biosynthesis In
    ORIGINAL RESEARCH published: 08 January 2016 doi: 10.3389/fpls.2015.01228 Identification of a Catalase-Phenol Oxidase in Betalain Biosynthesis in Red Amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus) Xiao-Lu Teng, Ning Chen and Xing-Guo Xiao * State Key Laboratory of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, College of Biological Sciences, China Agricultural University, Beijing, China Betalains are a group of nitrogen-containing pigments that color plants in most families of Caryophyllales. Their biosynthesis has long been proposed to begin with hydroxylation of L-tyrosine to L-DOPA through monophenolase activity of tyrosinase, but biochemical evidence in vivo remains lacking. Here we report that a Group 4 catalase, catalase-phenol oxidase (named as AcCATPO), was identified, purified and characterized from leaves of Amaranthus cruentus, a betalain plant. The purified enzyme appeared to be a homotrimeric protein composed of subunits of about 58 kDa, and demonstrated not only the catalase activity toward H2O2, but also the monophenolase activity toward L-tyrosine and diphenolase activity toward L-DOPA. Its catalase and phenol oxidase activities Edited by: Chang-Jun Liu, were inhibited by common classic catalase and tyrosinase inhibitors, respectively. All Brookhaven National Laboratory, USA its peptide fragments identified by nano-LC-MS/MS were targeted to catalases, and Reviewed by: matched with a cDNA-encoded polypeptide which contains both classic catalase and Qiao Zhao, phenol oxidase active sites. These sites were also present in catalases of non-betalain Tsinghua University, China Mingyue Gou, plants analyzed. AcCATPO transcript abundance was positively correlated with the ratio Brookhaven National Lab, USA of betaxanthin to betacyanin in both green and red leaf sectors of A.
