This is a major concern being addressed by many governments at all levels amidst the rapidly growing population on one hand and a deteriorating environment on the other hand. Medicinal plants address not only the need for access to medicine as a component of health services but also to the need for increased income for farmers and as a significant contribution to the national economy. And, yet, a basic foundation to effectively bring about these contributions is to be able to collect, characterize, evaluate the genetic resources that a country has from animals, plants, insects and microorganisms which can serve this purpose. While there have been constraints in exchanges of materials and technology for pharmaceuticals derived from biological organisms, largely because of its very significant commercial value and questions on intellectual property rights, there is no doubt that a critical human need such as access to medicine which determines quality of life of human society will remain as a concern that will require a concerted effort among countries and peoples all over the world. It is in this spirit that the International Plant Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI), which is one of the 15 international research centres of the Consultative Group on International Agriculture Research (CGIAR) and the Rural Development Administration (RDA) of the Republic of Korea embarked on a joint research collaboration on “Inventory and Documentation of Medicinal Plants in the Asia Pacific Region” involving 14 countries. It is basically founded on the premise that the initial step for collaboration on this very important area among countries is not only building up confidence and familiarity with each others situation but also being able to share information on what each country has in terms of medicinal plants being actually conserved and why it was conserved. From out of this information sharing process, even without the benefit of material and technology exchanges, it is hoped that areas of common interest will be identified which can initiate a collaboration process on mutually agreeable grounds which will be beneficial not only for the countries involved but for humanity in general. This proceedings is a result of the first stakeholder meeting of the countries and institutions involved in the project. It is a combination of reports on the framework of the project, the status report of countries on their medicinal plant programme, the agreements among the participants during this meeting in terms of priority project activities and the different country research proposals on medicinal plants. I would like to express my appreciation to RDA of the Republic of Korea for the funding and technical support provided to this project. Also to the Malaysia Industry-Government Group for High Technology (MIGHT) of the Prime Ministers Department of the Government of Malaysia for allowing the conduct of this regional meeting to coincide and become part of the First Asia Pacific Natural Products (NATPRO) Exposition which was also hosted by the Government of Malaysia. And, most importantly to the countries participating in this very important project for their belief in the rationale behind it and the confidence for allowing RDA and IPGRI to facilitate this process of research collaboration. Percy E Sajise Regional Director International Plant Genetic Resources Institute Regional Office for Asia, the Pacific and Oceania v MEDICINAL PLANTS RESEARCH IN ASIA, VOLUME 1 Introduction Medicinal plants research in the Asia Pacific region was initiated with the signing of a research collaboration on the “Inventory and documentation of medicinal plants in the Asia Pacific Region” between the International Plant Genetic Resources Institute (IPGRI) and the Rural Development Administration (RDA) of the Republic of Korea on 5 December 2001. With this agreement, RDA provided IPGRI with the initial funding to implement the project in 14 countries over a period of four years, starting in 2002. The original invited participants of the project include Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka and Nepal in South Asia; Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam in Southeast Asia; China, South Korea and Mongolia in East Asia; and Fiji and Papua New Guinea in the South Pacific.

  • Topic 3. Diet Digestibilities
    TOPIC 3. DIET DIGESTIBILITIES General trends in diet diges tibili ties follow the general trends in the cell structures of the plants. The stages and parts of plant growth that have thinner and less lignified cell walls are, for the most part, more digestible than those stages and parts with more lignified cell walls. Cell chemistry also affects digestibility, however. Tannins, for example, act as inhibitors of digestion. Changes in cell structure occur as plant phenology changes over the growing season. Emerging, growing tissue cannot have rigid cell walls, for new tissue is being added as cells increase in both number and size. When the numbers and sizes of cells in plant tissue have both reached maximum, cell maturation occurs and cell walls increase in thickness and rigidity. The cells in stems become very rigid and serve as supporting tissue. Cells in leaf tissue mature, become decadent, and the leaf falls to the ground. Flower petals mature, wither, and fall. Functional changes in different plant parts are accompanied by structural changes in the cells, and these changes affect nutritive relationships between animal and range. The concepts underlying relationships between cell structure and digestibility permit one to generalize on seasonal variations in diet digestibility. Consumption of decadent lignified dormant forage results in stable diet digestibilities. As the growing season progresses, diet digestibilities increase as new growth makes up an increasing proportion of the diet. As the growing season progresses and plants mature, diet digestibilities begin to drop until they reach the annual low when only de­ cadent lignified forage is available again.

Accepted 9 December 2008 Berberis aristata DC. is critically endangered species of Indian Himalaya due to it’s extensively collection of roots for its Berberine alkaloid. The objective of this research was to explore the possibility of propagating the species vegetatively to maintain its genetic identity and population. Therefore, an experiment was conducted by taking different cutting portions viz., apical, sub-apical and basal which were treated with various IBA concentrations viz., control, 2500, 5000 and 7500 ppm. Results shown that apical cuttings when treated with 5000 ppm IBA concentration performed significantly better in sprouting (85%) and rooting percentage (50%) in comparison to other treatments. While as control treatment had shown no rooting in all types of cutting portions. Key words: Berberis aristata, vegetative propagation, IBA.
