In addition, perilla and sesame seeds are rich sources of health-promoting compounds, such as fatty acids, tocopherols, phytosterols and policosanols. Thus, developing a method to determine the geographic origin of these seeds is important for ensuring authenticity, safety and traceability and to prevent cheating.

  • Perilla Mint

    Perilla Mint

    Extension W135 Perilla Mint Larry Steckel, Assistant Professor, Plant Sciences Neil Rhodes, Professor and Department Head, Plant Sciences Perilla Mint Peri indicutescens (L.) Britt. Also known as: beefsteak plant, common perilla, purple perilla, purple mint, shiso, Chinese basil, wild basil, blueweed, Joseph’s coat, wild coleus, rattlesnake weed Classification and Description Perilla mint is a member of the Lamiaceae or mint family. About 200 genera and 3200 species make up the mint plant family. Perilla mint is an erect, herbaceous annual that can grow to heights of 2 feet. It is native to East Asia. The cotyledons are longer than they are broad, with the broadest portion near the tip. The leaves are simple, opposite and can be purple or green tinged with purple, making it an attractive plant. Leaves have coarsely serrated (toothed) leaf margins pointed toward the tip and can be up to 5 inches wide and 7 inches long. Leaves are egg-shaped, with the largest part nearest the Perilla mint base. The stems of perilla mint are square in cross section, erect, hairy, somewhat branched and green or purple. Many small, white to purplish-white flowers with a ring of hairs in the throat are clustered in the terminals of these plants. Reproduction is by seed. Perilla mint has a shallow taproot and fibrous roots. Weed Status and Injury Perilla mint causes more cattle deaths in Tennessee than any other toxic plant. Perilla is very poisonous to cattle and other ruminants, as well as horses. All plant parts are toxic, especially the flowering structures. Dried plants in hay can be toxic, but the greatest risk is associated with consumption of fresh plant material, especially if flowers and fruit are present.

(LAMIACEAE) FROM KASHMIR HIMALAYA REYAZ AHMAD MALIK*, RAGHBIR CHAND GUPTA, AND SANTOSH KUMARI Department of Botany, Punjabi University, Patiala, Punjab, India 147002 Received October 13, 2011; revision accepted February 17, 2012 Our cytomorphological study of various populations of Elsholtzia ciliata (Lamiaceae) collected from high-alti- tude sites of Kashmir Himalaya revealed two euploid cytomorphotypes, diploid (n=8) and tetraploid (n=16), growing sympatrically but inhabiting two different habitats. This is the first report of tetraploid (4×) E. ciliata from the Indian subcontinent. We found the course of meiois to be normal in diploids, but tetraploid individu- als showed chromosome and meiotic irregularities: cytomixis at early prophase I, stickiness at metaphase I, and chromosome bridges at anaphase I. In tetraploids, 23 of the 26 pollen mother cells observed at metaphase I showed 0–6 quadrivalents, suggesting that the tetraploid is a segmental allopolyploid. Microsporogenesis was also abnormal in tetraploids, showing the formation of triads. All these anomalies are conducive to lower repro- ductive potential (40.70%) in tetraploids than in diploids (90.50%). Significant morphological differences between the two cytotypes are presented. Key words: Cytomorphotype, chromosome, diploid, tetraploid, Elsholtzia ciliata, quadrivalents, Kashmir Himalaya, chromosome stickiness.
