We identified Apocynaceae species by using nuclear internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2) and psbA- trnH based on experimental data. The identification ability of ITS2 and psbA-trnH was assessed using specific genetic divergence, BLAST1, and neighbor-joining trees. For DNA barcoding, ITS2 and psbA-trnH regions of 122 plant samples of 31 species from 19 genera in the Apocynaceae family were amplified. -

Floral Extracts of Allamanda Blanchetii and Allamanda Cathartica Are Comparatively Higher Resource of Anti-Oxidants and Polysaccharides Than Leaf and Stem Extracts
International Journal of Current Pharmaceutical Research ISSN- 0975-7066 Vol 10, Issue 4, 2018 Original Article FLORAL EXTRACTS OF ALLAMANDA BLANCHETII AND ALLAMANDA CATHARTICA ARE COMPARATIVELY HIGHER RESOURCE OF ANTI-OXIDANTS AND POLYSACCHARIDES THAN LEAF AND STEM EXTRACTS CHANDREYI GHOSH, SAYANTAN BANERJEE Department of Biotechnology, Techno India University, West Bengal, EM-4, Sector V, Salt Lake, Kolkata 7000091 Email: [email protected] Received: 21 Apr 2018, Revised and Accepted: 10 Jun 2018 ABSTRACT Objective: The present study undertakes a comparative analysis of the level of secondary metabolites present in the leaf, flower and stem of the two ornamental plants, Allamanda blanchetii and Allamanda cathartica. Methods: The two plant species, Allamanda blanchetii and Allamanda cathartica were collected, washed, shade dried in room temperature and powered in mechanical grinder. Phytochemicals were extracted from the power with methanol and double distilled water. The estimation of flavonoids, polyphenols, polysaccharide were done by standard methods and the anti-oxidant activity was measured by 1,1-diphenyl-2- picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) discoloration assay. Results: Our study reveals that the flower of both species contain highest amount of secondary metabolites in crude methanolic and aqueous extracts. In case of leaf, the methanolic extracts contain higher amount of polyphenol, flavonoid and anti-oxidant property in comparison to aqueous extracts, where as the aqueous extract contain higher amount of polysaccharide content than its counterpart. In stem, crude organic extract has higher amount of polyphenol and flavonoid and the aqueous extract has higher amount of polysaccharide and anti-oxidant property. Conclusion: The flower of Allamanda cathartica and Allamanda blanchetii has higher amount of flavonoids, polyphenols, polysaccharide and the floral extracts display comparatively higher anti-oxidant property. -

Historical Setting of the Guianan Plant Heritage The Guianas are embedded high in the green shoulder of northern South America, an area once known as the "Wild Coast". They are the only non-Latin American countries in South America, and are situated just north of the Equator in a configuration with the Amazon River of Brazil to the south and the Orinoco River of Venezuela to the west. The three Guianas comprise, from west to east, the countries of Guyana (area: 83,000 square miles; capital: Georgetown), Surinam (area: 63, 037 square miles; capital: Paramaribo) and French Guiana (area: 34, 740 square miles; capital: Cayenne). Perhaps the earliest physical contact between Europeans and the present-day Guianas occurred in 1500 when the Spanish navigator Vincente Yanez Pinzon, after discovering the Amazon River, sailed northwest and entered the Oyapock River, which is now the eastern boundary of French Guiana. -

Despite variation of species diversity was found in different saline zones the highest numbers of species were recorded in moderately saline zone. Distribution of existing plant species were recorded as 67.20% trees and 32.80% were woody, non-woody and climber types. The family Euphorbiaceae followed by Poaceae and Fabaceae represented highest number of species. On an average, 181 species existed per homestead. Distribution of species in different saline zones varied and it was highest in less saline zone (37.16%) followed by strongly saline (32.55%), and moderately saline (30.29%) zones. The most prevalent timber tree species are Albizia richardiana, Swietenia macrophylla and Samanea saman. Adaptation of different species in various saline zones widely varied due to different levels of salinity while Cocos nucifera as fruit species was almost equally dominant in all saline zones. -

It belongs to Cucurbitaceac family and is India commonly grown in Sri Lanka, India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Malaysia and Philippines. The name snake gourd is given due to its long, slender, twisted and elongated snake-like fruits. It is an annual vine climbing by means of tendrils (Mohammad Pessarakli, 2016). The soft-skinned immature fruit can reach up to 150 cm (59 in) in length. It’s soft, bland, somewhat mucilaginous flesh is similar to that of the luffa and the calabash. It is popular in the cuisines of South and Southeast Asia and is now grown in some home gardens in Africa. With some cultivars, the immature fruit has an unpleasant odor and a slightly bitter maturity, but it does contain a reddish pulp that is used in Africa as a substitute for tomatoes. The shoots, tendrils and leaves are also eaten as greens (Wayback Machine, 2013). *Corresponding Author Trichosanthes cucumerina falls under scientific classification Poornima Singh* of: E-mail: [email protected] Kingdom Plantea Division Magnoliophyta Class Mangoliopsida Order Curcubitales Family Cucurbitaceac Genus Trichosanthes Article History Species Cucumerina Received: 15. 07.2021 Revised: 24. 07.2021 Snake gourd is substituted for solanaceous tomato because of Accepted: 10. -

Received: 13 October 2011; in revised form: 25 October 2011 / Accepted: 26 October 2011 / Published: 3 November 2011 Abstract: Bamboo is widely grown and utilized as a construction material around the world, particularly in the tropics. At present, there are about 70 bamboo species and varieties recorded from Hawaii. The objective of our study was to determine the relative resistance of six Hawaii-grown bamboo species to attack by Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki and Coptotermes gestroi (Wasmann). Four-week laboratory feeding trials were performed as described in standard E1-09 of the American Wood Protection Association (AWPA 2009). Samples of each of the six bamboo species were individually exposed to 200 termites (with 10% soldiers); and termite mortality, wood mass loss, and visual appearance of the samples (on a scale of 0–10) were recorded at the conclusion of the trail. Mean mass losses of the six species as a result of termite feeding ranged from 13–29%; with the two most resistant bamboo species, Gigantocholoa pseudoarundinacea and Bambusa oldhamii, demonstrating significantly greater resistance to termite attack than the most susceptible bamboo species, Guadua anguistifolia, with both termite species.
