Biodiversity Data Journal 2: e1019. doi: 10.3897/BDJ.2.e1019 Abstract The flora of Tropical Asia is among the richest in the world, yet the actual diversity is estimated to be much higher than previously reported. Myanmar and Thailand are adjacent countries that together occupy more than the half the area of continental Tropical Asia. This geographic area is diverse ecologically, ranging from cool-temperate to tropical climates, and includes from coast, rainforests and high mountain elevations. An updated checklist of aquatic plants, which includes 78 species in 44 genera from 24 families, are presented based on floristic works. This number includes seven species, that have never been listed in the previous floras and checklists. The species (excluding non-indigenous taxa) were categorized by five geographic groups with the exception of to reflect the rich diversity of the countries' floras.

  • Phytochemical Evaluation and Antibacterial Activity of Leaf Extract of Jasminum Officinale Against Oral Pathogens in Ulcer Treatment Dr
    Phytochemical Evaluation and Antibacterial Activity of Leaf Extract of Jasminum Officinale Against Oral Pathogens in Ulcer Treatment Dr. Vanita U. Pochhi Shri Shivaji Science and Arts College Chikhli, Dist. Buldana [email protected] ABSTRACT: Medicinal Plants are endowed with phytochemicals that are vital to counter various metabolic disorders like Oxidative damage in cells causing various degenerative diseases. Hence, the present study deals with the assessment of antioxidant activity and phytochemical screening of the aqueous extract of Jasminum officinale leaves. From ancient times, plants have been used in traditional medicines for treatment of different ailments. Medicinal plants is one of the richest bio resources for traditional and folk medicines till date. Jasmine is botanically known as Jasminum officinaleor Jasmininie and belongs to the olive family of Oleaceae. Literature report suggest that Jasmine is analgesic, antidepressant, antiseptic, expectorant, aphrodisiac, sedative, stomachic, diuretic, depurative, astringent, stimulating, anti- oxidizing, anthelmintic and anti-inflammatory in nature. The objective was to study antibacterial activity of Jasminum officinaleextracts against mouth ulcer causing organisms. The antibacterial activity has been studied against Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus subtilis& Enterococcus faecalis by agar well diffusion method. Leaves extract of J. officinalegive effective results against oral pathogens causing mouth ulcer. Acetone and Ethanol extracts

  • Water Lilies As Emerging Models for Darwin's Abominable Mystery
    OPEN Citation: Horticulture Research (2017) 4, 17051; doi:10.1038/hortres.2017.51 www.nature.com/hortres REVIEW ARTICLE Water lilies as emerging models for Darwin’s abominable mystery Fei Chen1, Xing Liu1, Cuiwei Yu2, Yuchu Chen2, Haibao Tang1 and Liangsheng Zhang1 Water lilies are not only highly favored aquatic ornamental plants with cultural and economic importance but they also occupy a critical evolutionary space that is crucial for understanding the origin and early evolutionary trajectory of flowering plants. The birth and rapid radiation of flowering plants has interested many scientists and was considered ‘an abominable mystery’ by Charles Darwin. In searching for the angiosperm evolutionary origin and its underlying mechanisms, the genome of Amborella has shed some light on the molecular features of one of the basal angiosperm lineages; however, little is known regarding the genetics and genomics of another basal angiosperm lineage, namely, the water lily. In this study, we reviewed current molecular research and note that water lily research has entered the genomic era. We propose that the genome of the water lily is critical for studying the contentious relationship of basal angiosperms and Darwin’s ‘abominable mystery’. Four pantropical water lilies, especially the recently sequenced Nymphaea colorata, have characteristics such as small size, rapid growth rate and numerous seeds and can act as the best model for understanding the origin of angiosperms. The water lily genome is also valuable for revealing the genetics of ornamental traits and will largely accelerate the molecular breeding of water lilies.

  • Antibacterial Activity of Nymphaea Pubescens Willd. Leaves
    7th International Conference on Medical, Biological and Pharmaceutical Sciences (ICMBPS'2015) June 17-18, 2015 Pattaya (Thailand) Antibacterial Activity of Nymphaea Pubescens Willd. Leaves Kessaya Waidee, Surang Chankhamhaengdecha, and Praneet Damrongphol Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, Abstract—Antibacterial activity of Nymphaea pubescens Willd. Escherichia coli, Xanthomonas campestris, and Candida leaves against human pathogens was studied using agar well albicans [4]. The methanolic extract of N. alba showed diffusion method. The methanolic extract showed high antibacterial antibacterial activity against Streptococcus pyogenes, S. activity. The extract inhibited growth of six Gram-positive bacteria, aureus, S. epidermidis, and Enterobacter cloacae [5]. The i.e., Bacillus cereus, Bacillus cereus ATCC 14875, Staphylococcus ethanolic extract of N. lotus leaves inhibited growth of aureus 980, Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Methicillin- methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and Enterococcus faecium, but did not inhibit growth of five Gram-negative bacteria tested, i.e., resistant S. aureus (VRSA), S. aureus, S. pyogenes, E. coli, P. Escherichia coli (ETEC), Escherichia coli 1175, Serratia aeruginosa, and Klebsiella pneumonia [6], [7]. Bioactive marcescens, Salmonella Typhi, and Shigella sonnei. B. cereus and B. compounds such as tannins, flavonoids, alkaloids, cereus 14875 were most sensitive to 100% methanolic extract. Thin anthraquinones, saponins, glycosides, ellagic acid, and phenols layer chromatography-bioautography of 100% methanolic leaf extract in the genus Nymphaea have been identified [7], [8]. The revealed three major antibacterial constituents at Rf 0.33, 0.38, and present study investigated antibacterial activity of N. 0.82. Purification of active constituents of N. pubescens leaf extract pubescens leaf extracts against human pathogens using agar in further study may lead to clinical application.
