  • In Vitro Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Potential of Sterculia Urens Roxb
    Shukla et al. Future Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences (2020) 6:45 Future Journal of https://doi.org/10.1186/s43094-020-00063-9 Pharmaceutical Sciences RESEARCH Open Access In vitro antioxidant and antimicrobial potential of Sterculia urens Roxb. root extract and its bioactive phytoconstituents evaluation Anjali Shukla, Krishna Desai and Nainesh Modi* Abstract Background: The plant Sterculia urens Roxb. of Malvaceae family is comparatively understudied. Genus Sterculia is widely recognized by its phytomedicinal and ethnomedicinal attributes. The study is aimed to evaluate the qualitative analysis, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), thin layer chromatography (TLC), total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the crude hydro-methanolic extract of S. urens root. Results: The antioxidant activity, antimicrobial assay for clinical isolates, and TPC were measured by DPPH (2,2-diphenyl- 1-picrylhydrazyl) free radical scavenging activity, agar well diffusion method, and Folin–Ciocalteu assay respectively. Hydro- methanolic extract confirmed the presence of alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, phenols, saponins, steroids, and glycosides as primary and secondary metabolites, which was later confirmed by TLC. FT-IR spectroscopy revealed the presence of alkanes, alkenes, alkyl halides, halogen compounds, primary alcohol, tertiary alcohol, aldehyde, aromatic amine, secondary amines, amide group, and carboxylic acid. The crude extract was composed of a significant quantity of total phenolic content with 705 ± 0.40 mg GAE/g. Synergistically, the IC50 value of the crude extract and ascorbic acid was found to be 27.055 μg/ml and 37.244 μg/ml, respectively, which suggests that root extract possesses strong antioxidant properties. The majority of the microbial strains exhibited varying degrees of sensitivity to the root extract with a notable inhibitory effect against Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae,andPenicillium glaucum.

  • R Growing Australian Plants Brachychiton and Allied Genera Study Group
    ISSN 0816-178x ASSOCIATION OF SOCIETIES FOR GROWING AUSTRALIAN PLANTS BRACHYCHITON AND ALLIED GENERA STUDY GROUP Newsletter No. 9 May 1994 Leader: Kerry Rathie 5 Salston Road Greenbank 4124. - (07) 2000268 .............................................................. MEA CULPA: My apol~gi~sonce again for a belated newsletter. This time I'll blame the weather ; a year of drought until Feb. 28th.) then a month of rain every day. As I'm not on town (reticulated) water, and my creek dried up Tor the second time in 13 years, watering involved rationing small amounts of bought (by the truckload) water to my 500-odd pots {I'm a compulsive propagator}. Then the rain brought up 2 years supply of weeds. And then I lost the first version of this 4 newsletter when my computer's hard disc died. MEMBERSHIP: I'm not sure whether some people want to be in this study group. If I do know, a tick will follow the questio mark on the line below: 9- P - - J If there is no tick, please advise if you want to be in' the group. Our financial year ends June 30th. Sub remains at $5. Next newsletter should be in early July. Welcome to new Qld. members Merv Hodqe, Albert Grilanc, Jan Glazebrook, Dennis Cox, & Joy & Fred McKew. All have joined only recently, so their subs I'll take as paid for '94-'95. BRACHYCHITON DISTRIBUTION MAPS: I have omitted these for those people who I know have copies of Guymer's article from which they were taken. t LIVING PLANT COLLECTION: As usual, a month of hot humidity killed all my Thomasias save one small-leaved species, which looks fine.

It was an updating and expansion of one prepared by Albert F. Hill in his 1952 textbook Economic Botany... and it simply got out of hand. I also thought it would be useful to add a brief description of how the plant is used and what part yields the product. There are a number of more or less encyclopedic references on this subject. The number of plants and the details of their uses is simply overwhelming. In the list below, I have attempted to focus on those plants that are of direct economic importance to us.

However, depending on the amount of tannins in the gum it may be too bitter and astringent for most palates. Pale amber gums are usually more pleasant than those that are a darker red-brown colour.

  • I Is the Sunda-Sahul Floristic Exchange Ongoing?
    Is the Sunda-Sahul floristic exchange ongoing? A study of distributions, functional traits, climate and landscape genomics to investigate the invasion in Australian rainforests By Jia-Yee Samantha Yap Bachelor of Biotechnology Hons. A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2018 Queensland Alliance for Agriculture and Food Innovation i Abstract Australian rainforests are of mixed biogeographical histories, resulting from the collision between Sahul (Australia) and Sunda shelves that led to extensive immigration of rainforest lineages with Sunda ancestry to Australia. Although comprehensive fossil records and molecular phylogenies distinguish between the Sunda and Sahul floristic elements, species distributions, functional traits or landscape dynamics have not been used to distinguish between the two elements in the Australian rainforest flora. The overall aim of this study was to investigate both Sunda and Sahul components in the Australian rainforest flora by (1) exploring their continental-wide distributional patterns and observing how functional characteristics and environmental preferences determine these patterns, (2) investigating continental-wide genomic diversities and distances of multiple species and measuring local species accumulation rates across multiple sites to observe whether past biotic exchange left detectable and consistent patterns in the rainforest flora, (3) coupling genomic data and species distribution models of lineages of known Sunda and Sahul ancestry to examine landscape-level dynamics and habitat preferences to relate to the impact of historical processes. First, the continental distributions of rainforest woody representatives that could be ascribed to Sahul (795 species) and Sunda origins (604 species) and their dispersal and persistence characteristics and key functional characteristics (leaf size, fruit size, wood density and maximum height at maturity) of were compared.
