As trees grow and reproduce, they interact in many ways with other biological systems and with the environment. The importance of trees in maintaining our ecosystem and their importance in the world economy, need no emphasis. The global demand for wood products and wood as source of energy and raw material for various industries are increasing with the ascent in world population. With industrialization of the developing countries like India, the natural forests are disappearing rapidly. To increase the forest cover major efforts are directed towards afforestation of the denuded and barren lands, commonly known as wastelands. The role of biotechnology and tissue culture lies in enhancing the production of superior planting material. Tree biotechnology has to be an integral part of an overall forest genetics and tree-breeding program. One of the most important things that biotechnology can offer is to cut the long periods required for tree improvement using conventional technology. The trees thus grown through organized program will not only support the ecosystem but also serve as the source of raw material for industries and renewable resource of energy. Leguminous tree species are well known for their utility to mankind. They are of special interest due to their economic and ecological importance. These trees are particularly considered in afforestation and soil erosion control programs due to their ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen. Survey of existing literature reveals that although research in tree tissue culture was initiated earlier, research in the area of tree legumes started only two decades ago.

Pereira1 · Ricardo Malheiro1 · Nuno Rodrigues1 · Jorge A. Saraiva3 · Elsa Ramalhosa1 Received: 27 June 2018 / Accepted: 28 October 2018 © Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2018 Abstract The aim of the present work was to study the main volatile and bioactive compounds (monomeric anthocyanins, hydrolys- able tannins, total flavonoids, and total reducing capacity) of five edible flowers: borage (Borage officinalis), calendula (Calendula arvensis), cosmos (Cosmos bipinnatus), Johnny Jump up (Viola tricolor), and pansies (Viola × wittrockiana), together with their sensory attributes. The sensory analysis (10 panelists) indicated different floral, fruity, and herbal odors and taste. From a total of 117 volatile compounds (SPME–GC–MS), esters were most abundant in borage, sesquiterpenes in calendula, and terpenes in cosmos, Johnny Jump up, and pansies. Some bioactive and volatile compounds influence the sensory perception. For example, the highest content of total monomeric anthocyanins (cosmos and pansies) was associ- ated with the highest scores of colors intensity, while the floral and green fragrances detected in borage may be due to the presence of ethyl octanoate and 1-hexanol. Therefore, the presence of some volatiles and bioactive compounds affects the sensory perception of the flowers. Keywords Edible flowers · Volatile compounds · Sensory analysis · Bioactive compounds Introduction and fragrances of flowers are analyzed through their vola- tile essential oils [1]. Currently, there are some studies that Edible flowers are becoming more popular in recent years have applied solid-phase microextraction (SPME) method to due to the interest of consumers and professional chefs.

  • Cool Weather Herbs
    www.natureswayresources.com COOL WEATHER HERBS by Susan Gail Wood Herb Society of America/South Texas Unit Plant now in our herb gardens: dill, cilantro, nasturtiums and fennel. I enjoy growing lots of herbs year round to use for fragrance, cooking and beautiful bouquets. My favorite herbs to plant in the fall garden are: cilantro, nasturtiums, borage, fennel and dill. * Harvest basil before it blooms for best flavor. This means taking cuttings several times during the warm growing season to keep blossoms at bay. * Fresh CILANTRO can be used in place of basil for a delightful pesto. Late October and during November are perfect times to start cilantro from seed or plants in your garden. Cilantro has leaves that resemble flat leaf parsley until the plant is ready to flower. Start harvesting beforethe second, thinner set of leaves appear. This is a sign the herb is about to bloom, set seed and die back as is typical of annuals. Cilantro will bolt once the weather warms up next spring. Leave ripe 1 www.natureswayresources.com seed on the plant to fall back in the garden and this herb will be your best volunteer next fall. All the above mentioned favorites will withstand a freeze except for nasturtiums. Water and mulch all your herbs before a hard freeze and cover the nasturtiums. If they don't survive you can always plant more when the danger of frost passes next March. I lovethe cheery flowers they produce which are edible as well as the peppery leaves. * BORAGE is my favorite herb that you might not be growing, but should.

U. Shah College of Pharmacy, SNDT Women’s University, Santacruz(W) , Mumbai-400049. 2 Amsar Goa Pvt. Ltd., S 12 Colvale Industrial Estate Colvale, Bardez Colvale, Goa- 403513. Available Online: 1st March, 2015 ABSTRACT Rosa damascena commonly called as Rose is one of the most important plant for the pharmaceutical, flavour and fragrance industries. Rose petals extract and rose water is commonly used for skin enhancement by the cosmetics industry. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the antioxidant and antibacterial activity of aqueous and methanol extracts of Rosa damascena flower petals. Individual aqueous and methanol extract were prepared by Soxhlet extraction method. Phytochemical analysis of the extracts showed the presence of carbohydrates, proteins, tannins, phenols and alkaloids. The total phenolic content and total flavonoid content was also determined. The hydrogen donating ability of the extracts were measured in the presence of 1,1- diphenyl- 2- picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) radical. The IC50 values of aqueous and methanol extract were 8.30µg/ml and 4.85 µg/ml respectively by DPPH method and 70.90µg/ml and 47.18µg/ml respectively by Griess assay method. The IC50 values were comparable with standard ascorbic acid. Antibacterial activity of the extracts was determined by the agar diffusion method against 9 species of bacteria and fungi: Staphylococcus aureus, Sterptococcus pyogens, Clostridium perfringens, Pseudomonas aeroginosa, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumonia, Klebsiella aerogens, Candida albicans and Aspergillus niger.
