Both, sort of cutting and time of planting greatly influence rooting of phalsa. However, the time of preparation of cuttings in phalsa altogether influenced the success of root commencement, the best time of cuttings preparation and planting is identified with the climatic conditions and physiological state of the plant. Auxin application has been found to expand the histological highlights like development of callus and division of vascular tissue. The best establishing was generally found in cuttings taken from the lower part of the shoots. In propagation of phalsa plant, misting have been extensively utilized for establishing of various sorts of cutting. Keywords: Phalsa, Propagation, Cutting, Auxins, Rooting.

    III. Triterpenoids from Grewia sp. 3.1 Introduction The extract of leaves and flowers of a Grewia sp. (MG 3692) was obtained from Madagascar rainforests as a part of the ICBG program for the isolation of active anticancer agents. After testing the extract on A2780 bioassay, it exhibited activity at 3.7 μg/mL and hence it was selected for further analysis of its chemical components. The extract yielded one new and one known triterpenoid, 1 and 2. The isolation and structure determination of these compounds is described in this chapter. 3.1.1 Chemical Investigation of a Grewia sp. Grewia sp. of the Malvaceae family (previously belonging to the Tiliaceae family) is a genus of flowering plants found in tropical and temperate regions as well. The Malvaceae family has 75 genera and about 1500 species. Plants belonging to this family are economically useful, as they provide an excellent source of naturally occurring fiber, like cotton from the genus Gossypium, and certain foods like okra, from Abelmoschus esculentus, which is used as a vegetable. The stem and roots of Hibiscus tiawanensis, native to Taiwan, have anti-inflammatory and antipyretic properties.2 The dried leaf extract of Hibiscus sabdariffa acts as a anti-hypertensive by inhibition of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE).3 Plants of the Hibiscus sp. have been used as an antidote for chemical and wild mushroom poisoning4 as well as an Ayurvedic herbal shampoo in Indian medicine. The genus Grewia is mainly associated with triterpenoids and alkaloids. The extracts from these plants are known to have medicinal properties.5 The bark and roots of Grewia 61 tiliaefolia are used to treat skin diseases, hypertension, ulcers and diarrhoea.6 Lupenol (3.1), isolated from this plant, is known to cause apoptosis in several cancer cells.7 3.1 Lupenol Grewin (3.2) isolated from the extract of Grewia bilamellata, exhibits antimalarial activity against P.

Fiori. belonging to the family Tiliaceae, is an example of multipurpose plant species which is the source of food, fodder, fiber, fuelwood, timber and a range of traditional medicines that cure various perilous diseases and have mild antibiotic properties. The plant preparations are used for the treatment of bone fracture and for bone strengthening and tissue healing. The fruits are used for promoting fertility in females and are considered in special diets for pregnant women and anemic children. The plant is adapted to high temperatures and dry conditions and has deep roots which stabilize sand dunes. The shrubs play effectively for rehabilitation of wastelands. The plant parts are rich in amino acids and mineral elements and contain some pharmacologically active constituents. The plant is identified in trade for its fruits. Plant is also sold as wild species of medicinal and aromatic plant and is direct or indirect source of income for the tribal people. But the prolonged seed dormancy is a typical feature and vegetative propagation is not well characterized for the plant. Micropropagation by tissue culture techniques may play an effective role for plant conservation.

The species were characterized as zoochorous, anemochorous and autochorous. Out of 15,258 individuals, 87 % showed zoochory as a mode of dispersal, accounting for 68.1 % of the total species encountered. A test of independence between leaf habit (evergreen/deciduous) and dispersal modes showed that more than the expected number of evergreen species was zoochorous. The cumulative disturbance index (CDI) was significantly negatively correlated with zoochory (P < 0.05); on the other hand no specific trend of anemochory with disturbance was seen. The pre-monsoon period (February to May) was found to be the peak period for fruiting of around 64 % of species irrespective of their dispersal mode.

Professor Department of Home Science Head, Department of Biotechnology Department of Home Science May, 2014 1. INTRODUCTION Nutrition may be defined as the science of food and its relationship to health. It is concerned primarily with the part played by nutrients in body growth, development and maintenance. Through centuries, food has been recognized as important for human beings in health and diseases. More recently a great deal of interest has been focused on the role of dietary factors in the pathogenesis of non-communicable diseases such as coronary heart diseases, diabetes and cancer (Park, 2011). Many compounds have been isolated from plant foods, mainly fruits, green leaves and vegetables, which have been identified to play a protective role in the human system (Dorothy et al., 2013). Natural phenolic phytochemicals in plants have been receiving increased interest from consumers and researchers for their antioxidant activity (Nataraj et al., 2013). 1.1 Antioxidants And Their Benefits Antioxidants are substances that may protect cells from free radical (Shereen, 2014). Antioxidants are molecules which can safely interact with free radicals and terminate the chain reaction before vital molecules are damaged. Although there are several enzyme systems within the body that disarm free radicals, the principal antioxidants are vitamin E, beta- carotene, vitamin C , and selenium.

Many of these species are botanically interesting, attractive and potentially sources of various phytoresources and aesthetic pleasure. The IUCN Red List status of each of these species was determined. Six of the dominating species were worked to reveal their carbon sequestration potential with an objective to find their utilitarian value in landscape designing for aesthetic rejuvenation and environmental optimization. It was found that Ficus benghalensis is the best of the lot in Carbon sequestration being successively followed byMimusops elengi , Roystonia regia , Senna siamea , Dalbergia lanceolariaand Cassia fistula .
