Accepted 13 May, 2013 3,5,4 ′-Trihydroxy-6,7-dimethoxy-flavone (Eupalitin) has been isolated from the leaves of Asparagus falcatus (Linn.). Anti-proliferation and apoptosis studies were conducted on eupalitin. Results showed that eupalitin exhibited significant cytotoxicity against human colorectal tumor cells. It is found that eupalitin induces the activation of caspases 3/7, a hallmark of apoptosis. The study suggests that the anti-proliferative property of eupalitin towards the human colorectal tumor cells may be probably due to its capability to induce apoptosis in cells. Key words: 3,5,4 ′-Trihydroxy-6,7-dimethoxy-flavone, eupalitin, Asparagus falcatus (Linn.), cytotoxicity, colorectal cancer, caspases.

  • Arabuko-Sokoke Forest Plant List
    Arabuko-Sokoke Forest Plant List This list of plant species was compiled from various sources; mainly Robertson & Luke (1993) and Mutangah & Mwaura (1992), with some additional records from the database made by Robertson from the E A Herbarium in 1986. The Families (and Family Numbers) are arranged in the sequence used at EA. The list is not complete but probably lists over 80% of the higher plants. Certain families such as Vitaceae, Commelinaceae, Cyperaceae and Gramineae should be studied further, as well as the aquatic plants. Before publication this list should be annotated with a specimen cited for each species, and the plant form noted. A plant reference collection (site based herbarium) is being prepared for KEFRI Gede Forest Station, and all researchers who have collected plant vouchers should be encouraged to deposit a duplicate set of specimens there. I would like to thank Dr I Gordon for providing a Word File, named PLANLIST, containing the original of this list which I put together in 1994, but subsequently lost from my computer, for the Arabuko-Sokoke Research and Monitoring Workshop held at Watamu, 20-21 July 1999. This is an edited version, called Arabuko-Sokoke Plant List (in Word 97).

Asparagus adscendens, an important medicinal plant, was the only native species of the region that is distributed widely in the Punjab plains and sub-mountainous region. It is characterized by relatively thick cuticle and epidermis as well as thick endodermis. Asparagus densiflorus and A. setaceus were the widely cultivated species in the region and adapted to a variety of environmental conditions. They had thicker roots, larger parenchymatous cells, and well developed vascular tissue than the other species and cultivars. On the whole, a strong relation of descriptive features with plant anatomy was recorded, and therefore, these features can be used as a tool for the taxonomy of the genus Asparagus. In addition, by using these anatomical modifications their tolerance to environmental stresses can be easily assessed. Introduction cells (Monties, 1989) in addition to controlling water movement across the xylem vessels (Northcote, 1989). Modern taxonomists have placed the genus Asparagus Lignification in vascular and sclerenchyma tissue is mainly in family Asparagaceae of order Asparagales rather than in due to xylosyl residues from xylans, cellulose and Liliaceae (Chase et al., 2009).

Accepted 22 March, 2012 Leaves of 28 genotypes of 4 species of the genus Asparagus , namely: Asparagus racemosus , Asparagus falcatus , Asparagus officinalis and Asparagus plumosus were analyzed for genetic diversity by random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD). Out of one hundred 10-mer RAPD primers screened, 25 were selected for comparative analysis of different accessions of A. racemosus and its closely related species. High genetic variations were found between the different Asparagus species studied. Among a total of 296 RAPD fragments amplified, 287 bands (96.95%) were found polymorphic in the four species. Average polymorphic information content (PIC) value for the amplification product was 0.23. Fourteen species-specific bands were found in A. racemosus species. These species-specific RAPD markers could potentially be used for identifying authentic A. racemosus spp. and could be sequenced for conversion to a sequence-characterized amplified region (SCAR) marker so as to serve as species specific marker.

  • Phylogenetics of Ruscaceae Sensu Lato Based on Plastid Rbcl and Trnl-F DNA Sequences
    © Biologiezentrum Linz/Austria; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Stapfia 80 333-348 5.7.2002 Phylogenetics of Ruscaceae sensu lato based on plastid rbcL and trnL-F DNA sequences CG. JANG & M. PFOSSER Abstract: JANG C.G. & M. PFOSSER (2002): Phylogenetics of Ruscaceae sensu lato based on plastid rbcL and /rni-FDNA sequences. — Stapfia 80: 333-348. We studied the phylogeny and relationships among several families within Asparagales by analysis of trnL-F and rbcL sequences. As judged from rbcL, trnL-F or combined data, the order Asparagales is monophyletic with high bootstrap support. The classifica- tion into higher and lower asparagoids, which are characterized by successive mi- crosporogenesis and simultaneous microsporogenesis, respectively, is only weakly sup- ported by the trnL-F and combined data. The lower asparagoids with simultaneous mi- crosporogenesis are clearly not monophyletic. Within Asparagales, the families Con- vallariaceae, Ruscaceae, Dracaenaceae and Nolinaceae are not monophyletic. This is well supported by trnL-F data and the combined analysis and moderately supported by rbcL sequences. Especially Convallariaceae are highly polyphyletic. However, the four families formed a clearly defined clade in our analysis and thus, the concept of lumping the four families into a large family Ruscaceae s. lat. received further support. Within Ruscaceae s. lat., the genus Peliosanthes does not have a fixed position. This genus oc- cupies a position basal to the remaining taxa both in the rbcL and the combined trees, but falls into a clade together with Liriope and Ophiopogon like in traditional taxonomy in the trnL-F analysis. Both in the trnL-F and the combined trees the families Aspara- gaceae and Eriospermaceae are located next to Ruscaceae s.
