NHESP is responsible for the conservation and protection of hundreds of species that are not hunted, fished, trapped, or commercially harvested in the state. The Program's highest priority is protecting the 176 species of vertebrate and invertebrate animals and 259 species of native plants that are officially listed as Endangered, Threatened or of Special Concern in Massachusetts. Endangered species conservation in Massachusetts depends on you! A major source of funding for the protection of rare and endangered species comes from voluntary donations on state income tax forms. Contributions go to the Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Fund, which provides a portion of the operating budget for the Natural Heritage & Endangered Species Program. NHESP protects rare species through biological inventory, -

The Phytochemistry of Cherokee Aromatic Medicinal Plants
medicines Review The Phytochemistry of Cherokee Aromatic Medicinal Plants William N. Setzer 1,2 1 Department of Chemistry, University of Alabama in Huntsville, Huntsville, AL 35899, USA; [email protected]; Tel.: +1-256-824-6519 2 Aromatic Plant Research Center, 230 N 1200 E, Suite 102, Lehi, UT 84043, USA Received: 25 October 2018; Accepted: 8 November 2018; Published: 12 November 2018 Abstract: Background: Native Americans have had a rich ethnobotanical heritage for treating diseases, ailments, and injuries. Cherokee traditional medicine has provided numerous aromatic and medicinal plants that not only were used by the Cherokee people, but were also adopted for use by European settlers in North America. Methods: The aim of this review was to examine the Cherokee ethnobotanical literature and the published phytochemical investigations on Cherokee medicinal plants and to correlate phytochemical constituents with traditional uses and biological activities. Results: Several Cherokee medicinal plants are still in use today as herbal medicines, including, for example, yarrow (Achillea millefolium), black cohosh (Cimicifuga racemosa), American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius), and blue skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora). This review presents a summary of the traditional uses, phytochemical constituents, and biological activities of Cherokee aromatic and medicinal plants. Conclusions: The list is not complete, however, as there is still much work needed in phytochemical investigation and pharmacological evaluation of many traditional herbal medicines. Keywords: Cherokee; Native American; traditional herbal medicine; chemical constituents; pharmacology 1. Introduction Natural products have been an important source of medicinal agents throughout history and modern medicine continues to rely on traditional knowledge for treatment of human maladies [1]. Traditional medicines such as Traditional Chinese Medicine [2], Ayurvedic [3], and medicinal plants from Latin America [4] have proven to be rich resources of biologically active compounds and potential new drugs. -

Deep Simple Epicotyl Morphophysiological Dormancy in Seeds of Gymnospermium Microrrhynchum (S.Moore) Takht., a Rare Species in Korea

Abstract Gymnospermium microrrhynchum is an herbaceous perennial plant in the Berberidaceae family and is a vulnerable species in Korea. We examined the embryo growth and germination of G. microrrhynchum in terms of temperatures under both outdoor and laboratory conditions. G. microrrhynchum seed consisted of an underdeveloped embryo. The embryo grew at moderate temperatures in autumn after high summer temperatures, and the radicle emergence occurred in November. However, there was a delay in shoot emergence after radicle emergence and the shoot appeared after the end of winter. Radicle-emerged seeds required winter-season temperatures for seedling emergence. In the Received: March 5, 2019 following year, shoot emergence began in late March and completed in April. In the laboratory Revised: June 10, 2019 experiments, seeds at 15/6°C (light 12 h/dark 12 h) had 87% germination within 20 weeks, while Accepted:October 7, 2019 seeds did not germinate at 25/15°C, 20/10°C, or 5°C. Following the radicle emergence, cold stratification (5°C) broke epicotyl dormancy and produce the shoot.
