  • Food Selection by Northern Yellow-Cheeked Crested Gibbons (Nomascus Annamensis)In Northern Cambodia
    Food Selection by Northern Yellow-cheeked Crested Gibbons (Nomascus annamensis)in Northern Cambodia Naven Hon A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Ecology and Biodiversity School of Biological Sciences Victoria University of Wellington New Zealand 2016 i Abstract Tropical regions have extremely high plant diversity, which in turn supports a high diversity of animals. However, not all plant species are selected by animals as food sources, with some herbivores selecting only specific plants as food as not all plants have the same nutrient make up. Animals must select which food items to include in their diets, as the amount and type of nutrients in their diet can affect lifespan, health, fitness, and reproduction. Gibbon populations have declined significantly in recent years due to habitat destruction and hunting. Northern yellow-cheeked crested gibbon (Nomascus annamensis) is a newly described species, and has a limited distribution restricted to Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam. The northern yellow-cheeked crested gibbons play an important role in seed dispersal, yet little is currently known about this species, including its food selection and nutritional needs. However, data on food selection and nutritional composition of selected food items would greatly inform the conservation of both wild and captive populations of this species. This study aims to quantify food selection by the northern yellow-cheeked crested gibbons by investigating the main plant species consumed and the influence of the availability of food items on their selection. The study also explores the nutritional composition of food items consumed by this gibbon species and identifying key plant species that provide these significant nutrients.

  • Dendrolobium Triangulare, Desmodium Gangeticum, Desmodium Heterocarpon, and Tadehagi Triquetrum)
    Mongabay.com Open Access Journal - Tropical Conservation Science Vol.2(1):52-69, 2009 Research Article Genetic relationships among accessions of four species of Desmodium and allied genera (Dendrolobium triangulare, Desmodium gangeticum, Desmodium heterocarpon, and Tadehagi triquetrum) Bettina Heider1*, Elke Fischer1, Tanja Berndl1, and Rainer Schultze-Kraft1,2 1Institute for Plant Production and Agroecology in the Tropics and Subtropics, University of Hohenheim, Garbenstrasse 13, D-70599 Stuttgart, Germany *E-mail: [email protected] 2 Centro Internacional de Agricultura Tropical (CIAT), A.A. 6713, Cali, Colombia Abstract Random amplified polymorphic DNA markers (RAPD) were used to assess the genetic relatedness among accessions of four species of Desmodium and allied genera (Dendrolobium triangulare, Desmodium gangeticum, Desmodium heterocarpon ssp. heterocarpon, and Tadehagi triquetrum) originating from Northeast Vietnam. Since information on the genetic diversity of these species is deficient, the creation of baseline data is an important means for the development of more sustainable and cost-efficient conservation approaches which eventually result in more comprehensive ex situ germplasm collections. The species analyzed are native to tropical and subtropical Asia, Australia, and Oceania and possess a potential as forage and/or medicinal plants. Moderate levels of inter-accession diversity represented by 37.5% and 33.3% of polymorphic fragments (P%) and average Jaccard’s similarity coefficients (JSCs) of 0.60 and 0.64 were found in D. heterocarpon and T. triquetrum, respectively, while moderate to high levels were detected in D. triangulare (P% = 52.9 and JSC = 0.61) and D. gangeticum (P% = 34.5 and JSC = 0.49). Mantel tests failed to reveal a correlation between geographic and genetic distances.

  • III. Triterpenoids from Grewia Sp
    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.

  • Patterns of Accumulation of Berberine Alkaloid and Chemical Profiling of Natural Populations of Coscinium Fenestratum
    Indian Journal of Natural Products and Resources Vol. 8(3), September 2017, pp. 240-247 Patterns of accumulation of berberine alkaloid and chemical profiling of natural populations of Coscinium fenestratum (Menispermaceae) in the Central Western Ghats, India Thriveni H. N.1, Ramesh Babu H. N.2 and Vasudeva R1* 1Department of Forest Biology & Tree Improvement, College of Forestry, University of Agricultural Sciences Dharwad, Sirsi Campus, 581 401, India 2Department of Botany and Seed technology, Sahyadri Science College, Kuvempu University, Shankaragatta-577 101, India Received 03 March 2016; Revised 05May 2017 Berberine and its derivatives are being pursued as a new class of anti-diabetic medication world over. Coscinium fenestratum, a dioecious woody liana, is a rich source of berberine. With no other synthetic sources and huge industrial demand, natural populations of C. fenestratum are being rampantly harvested from the Western Ghats of India, making the species ‘critically endangered’. Prospecting for high berberine yielding individuals from different populations of C. fenstratum is a prerequisite to clonally mass-multiply and/or to develop in vitro production systems, thereby reducing the pressure on natural populations. Towards this end, the present study was carried out to chemically profile natural populations distributed in the Western Ghats and to determine the pattern of accumulation of berberine with respect to age, tissues, and sex. A total of 90 individual lianas were subjected to the chemical analysis. The concentration of berberine in methanol extract was determined using a C-18 reverse phase column with UV detection at 344 nm. Berberine content varied significantly with respect to the tissue, and sex of the individuals.
