The First PROSEA International Symposium was an important event in the process of 'internationalization' of the PROSEA project. Over 150 participants from 19 countries and various international agencies attended, including large delegations from the 6 countries presently actively involved in the project (Indonesia, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Papua New Guinea, the Philippines, and Thailand). The objective of the symposium was to discuss the scientific and organizational aspects of the whole PROSEA undertaking, based on the experience gained over the last 2 years. The symposium programme comprised 22 invited papers dealing with general aspects of the project, with form and contents of the PROSEA publications, with the progress in a number of commodity groups, with the documentation activities of the Country Office Network, and with proposals for the future course of the project.

    © 2019 JETIR May 2019, Volume 6, Issue 5 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) EXPLORING THE ANTI INFLAMMATORY PROPERTIES OF MangiferaIndica USING MOLECULAR DOCKING APPROACH 1Khursheed Ahmed, 2Heena Pathan, 3Mrinalini Bhosale, 4Subhash Padhye 1Associate Professor, 2,3Assistant Professor, 4Professor Department of Chemistry, Abeda Inamdar Senior College, Pune, India Abstract: Mango fruit contains a number of phytochemicals having medicinal properties. These constituents are used to treat diseases of skin and throat since ancient times. Herein we have investigated the effect of different constituents of mango stem on NFκB, which is the protein uplifted in inflammation. Different constituents show high binding affinity with NFκB calculated in terms of binding energy and stability in the cavity of the protein. Introduction: MangiferaIndica, (mango tree) is one of the flowering plant species belonging to the Anacardiaceae family. This family include about 30 tropical fruiting trees with the genus Mangifera, such as Mangifera altissima, Mangifera persiciformis, Mangifera caesia, Mangifera camptosperma, Mangifera casturi, Mangifera decandra, Mangifera foetida, Mangifera indica, Mangifera griffithii, Mangifera laurina, Mangifera kemanga, Mangifera macrocarpa, Mangifera longipes, Mangifera odorata, Mangifera mekongensis, Mangifera quadrifi da, Mangifera pajang, Mangifera similis, Mangifera siamensis, Mangifera sylvactia, Mangifera torquenda, Mangifera zeylanica, Mangifera applanata,Mangifera swintonioides[1].

The primary study is an extensive inventory of the caterpillar fauna of a lowland rainforest site near Madang, Papua New Guinea, from 1994•2001. The inventory focused on the Lepidoptera com- munity on 71 woody plant species representing 45 genera and 23 families. During the study, 46,457 caterpillars representing 585 species were sampled, with 19,660 caterpillars representing 441 species reared to adults. This introductory contribution is intended to provide background on the project, including descriptions of the study site, sampling methods, and taxonomic methods.

Biodiversity Data Journal 8: e51544. https://doi.org/10.3897/BDJ.8.e51544 Abstract Background The family Opiliaceae in Santalales comprises approximately 38 species within 12 genera distributed worldwide. In Taiwan, only one species of the tribe Champereieae, Champereia manillana, has been recorded. Here we report the first record of a second member of Opiliaceae, Cansjera in tribe Opilieae, for Taiwan. New information The newly-found species, Cansjera rheedei J.F. Gmelin (Opiliaceae), is a liana distributed from India and Nepal to southern China and western Malaysia. This is the first record of both the genus Cansjera and the tribe Opilieae of Opiliaceae in Taiwan. In this report, we provide a taxonomic description for the species and colour photographs to facilitate identification in the field. © Chen P et al.

  • The Silvicultural and Sustainable Management of Rattan Production Systems
    Tuscia University - Faculty of Agriculture The Silvicultural and Sustainable Management of Rattan Production Systems BSc in Agroecology and Rural Development Academic year 2004/2005 In Cooperation with FAO - Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Università degli studi della Tuscia Facoltà di Agraria Via San Camillo de Lellis, Viterbo Elaborato Finale Corso di laurea triennale in Agricoltura Ecologica e Sviluppo Rurale Anno Accademico 2004/2005 Silvicoltura e Gestione Sostenibile della Produzione del Rattan The Silvicultural and Sustainable Management of Rattan Production Systems Relatore: Prof. Giuseppe Scarascia-Mugnozza Correlatore: Ms Christine Holding-Anyonge (FAO) Studente: Edoardo Pantanella RÉSUMÉ La coltivazione del rattan, e dei prodotti non legnosi in genere, offre grandi potenzialità sia economiche, in qualità di materia prima e di prodotto finito, che ecologiche, intese come possibilità legate alla riduzione dell’impatto dello sfruttamento forestale attraverso forme di utilizzo alternativo alla produzione del legno. Studi specifici relativi agli aspetti tassonomici e biologici del rattan, indirizzati al miglioramento della conoscenza sulle caratteristiche biologiche delle numerose specie e dei possibili sistemi di sviluppo e di gestione silvicolturale delle piantagioni, hanno una storia recente. Essi hanno preso il via solo a partire dagli anni ’70, a seguito della scarsa disponibilità del materiale in natura. Nel presente elaborato si sono indagati gli aspetti biologici e silviculturali del rattan. Su queste
