Bosser seeds in different storage environment. Seeds were dehydrated in silica gel for 0, 24, 48, 72 and 96 hours then were kept in airtight bottles and stored in five environments: ambient room (28 - 30°C), air-conditioned room (20 - 23°C), refrigerator (3 - 5°C), cold room (-4°C) and incubator (40°C) for 21 days. The dehydrated seeds at 72 hours were found successfully genninated after stored in all environments with mean gennination between 64.93 to 87.37% after 21 days of storage. The highest germination of 100% was obtained after 72 hours of dehydration for seeds kept in cold room after 6 days with 14.1 4% moisture content. The most suitable environment was for seeds stored in cold room where germination was between 50.72 to 87.37% for a period up to 21 days. The temperature of storage gave significant different in percentage of gennination of seeds. Key words: Neolamarckia cadamba (Roxb.)

The cultivation of climate resilient, adaptive and underutilized wild crops along with modern crop varieties is proposed as an innovative strategy for managing future agricultural production under the changing environmental conditions. Such underutilized and neglected wild crops have been recently projected by the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations as ‘future smart crops’ as they are not only hardy, and resilient to changing climatic conditions, but also rich in nutrients. They need only minimal care and input, and therefore, they can be easily grown in degraded and nutrient-poor soil also. Moreover, they can be used for improving the adaptive traits of modern crops. The contribution of such neglected, and underutilized crops and their wild relatives to global food production is estimated to be around 115–120 billion US$ per annum. Therefore, the exploitation of such lesser

  • Comparison of Mimosine Content and Nutritive Values of Neolamarckia Cadamba and Leucaena Leucocephala with Medicago Sativa As Forage
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 3, ISSUE 8, AUGUST 2014 ISSN 2277-8616 Comparison Of Mimosine Content And Nutritive Values Of Neolamarckia Cadamba And Leucaena Leucocephala With Medicago Sativa As Forage Quality Index Mohamed Zaky Zayed, Mohamed Abdallah Zaki, Fasihuddin Badruddin Ahmad, Wei-Seng Ho, Shek-Ling Pang Abstract: A study was conducted to determine the mimosine content and the nutritive values of Neolamarckia cadamba and Leucaena leucocephala in comparison to Medicago saliva (alfalfa hay) as forage quality index. A total of 22 N. cadamba and 35 L. leucocephala seedlings were analyzed to determine the mimosine content after 6 months of planting. It was noted that the mimosine content was highest in L. leucocephala (1.6%) and lowest in N. cadamba (0.03%) in comparison to M. sativa which has no mimosine content. Crude protein content was 23.48%, 20.90% and 14.83% for L. leucocephala, N. cadamba and M. sativa, respectively. The crude fiber was maximum in M. sativa (27.23%) and minimum in L. leucocephala (18.77%). Crude protein, crude fat, gross energy, protein to energy (P/E) ratio, organic matter and total ash in N. cadamba was higher compared to M. sativa. L. leucocephala was lower in nitrogen free extract, crude fiber and total ash compared to N. cadamba. Results from this study clearly indicate that N. cadamba has high forage quality and comparable to the traditional L. leucocephala and M. sativa as forage for ruminant and non-ruminants. Index Terms: Neolamarckia cadamba, Leucaena leucocephala, Medicago sativa, mimosine, nutritive value, forage quality index ———————————————————— 1 INTRODUCTION The need to develop cheap and readily available alternative Leucaena leucocephala or locally known as petai belalang feeding materials to support livestock growth has become belongs to family Leguminosae.

Miq. Suman Acharyya1*, Ranjan Padhy2, Santosh Kumar Dash3 ABSTRACT Purpose: To undertake the pharmacognostic studies of Anthocephalus cadamba (Roxb.) Miq. Root for the purpose of identification and differentiation from related species. Methods: The macroscopic and microscopic features of the root were studied, including the use of powder microscopy with the aid of suitable tools and reagents. Physicochemical parameters such as ash value, extractive value and weight loss on drying were also determined. The root powder was successively extracted with different solvents followed by preliminary phytochemical screening of the extracts. Results: Macro- and micro-scopic studies revealed cork i.e. the layer of periderm present above the cortex along with lenticels. The periderm is many layered membranous with irregularly fissured crevices containing phellum and phellogen. Secondary phloem is comparatively massive without lignified tissues i.e. bast fibres and contains sieve tubes, phloem parenchyma, many enriched with starch grains. The secondary xylem lignified mingled with medullary rays, vessels, parenchyma and wood fibers. Preliminary phytochemical screening of different extracts revealed the presence of alkaloids, carbohydrate, protein, gum, Suman Acharyya1*, Ranjan steroid, tri-terpenoid, saponin, flavonoid and tannin in the root. Conclusion: The findings of Padhy2, Santosh Kumar this study facilitate pharmacognostic standardization of the plant material and add clues in the 3 preparation of herbal monographs for Phyto pharmacopeia.

Anthocephalus cadamba, Aegle marmelos, Emblica officinalis and Moringa oleifera. Methods and Findings: In vitro antioxidant capacities were evaluated via free radical scavenging assays: DPPH, FRAP, ABTS, phosphomolybdate assay and total reducing capability. In vitro anticancer activity was evaluated against three human cancer cell lines SK-OV-3, A498 and T-24 by SRB assay. Quantitative estimation of phenolic, flavonoids, flavonols and Vitamin C content was done calorimetrically. Spectral characterization of phytochemicals was done via UV-Vis, FTIR and GC-HRMS analysis. Among all the leave extracts, aqueous and hydro-ethanolic leave extracts of E. officinalis has highest reducing power and lowest IC50 value for DPPH free radical with higher phenolic content.
