Today, the compounds are found in plants and microorganisms, where they play multifunctional roles and are called biomediators. In our time, we constantly see universal chemical bases of life in the living world—from proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids to small molecules known traditionally as neu- rotransmitters. After the first monographs devoted to the presence and function of the compounds in plants, published in 1991 and 2001, many new works in the field appeared. In this connection, a necessity arose to combine the new information in a collective issue, showing both achievements and perspectives for investigations and human practices. This book will address the work at the margins of current research in plant biology and provide powerful tools for both analyzing and manipulating organisms. Efforts by scientists from many countries have been concentrated on the occurrences of neurotransmitters in plants, their functions in plant cells, and practical application of the knowledge about acetylcholine, catecholamines, serotonin, melatonin, histamine, gamma- aminobutyric acid, and glutamine for ecology, agriculture, medicine, and food industry. This current book may be used by universities and academies, libraries, and research organiza-

R. China Tel.: 0086-871-65171169; Fax: 0086-871-65160916 *Corresponding author: H. Zhu, e-mail [email protected]; Fax no.: 86-871-5160916 Abstract Complete floristic and vegetation surveys were done in a newly established nature reserve on a tropical mountain in southern Yunnan. Three vegetation types in three altitudinal zones were recognized: a tropical seasonal rain forest below 1,100 m; a lower montane evergreen broad- leaved forest at 1,100-1,600 m; and a montane rain forest above 1,600 m. A total of 1,657 species of seed plants in 758 genera and 146 families were recorded from the nature reserve. Tropical families (61%) and genera (81%) comprise the majority of the flora, and tropical Asian genera make up the highest percentage, showing the close affinity of the flora with the tropical Asian (Indo-Malaysia) flora, despite the high latitude (22N). Floristic changes with altitude are conspicuous. The transition from lowland tropical seasonal rain forest dominated by mixed tropical families to lower montane forest dominated by Fagaceae and Lauraceae occurs at 1,100-1,150 m. Although the middle montane forests above 1,600 m have ‘oak-laurel’ assemblage characteristics, the temperate families Magnoliaceae and Cornaceae become dominant.

This study provides a comprehensive characterization of the chemical composition of 15 Arctic red algal species from the perspective of their practical relevance in medicine and the food industry. We show that several virtually unstudied species may be regarded as promis- ing sources of different valuable metabolites and minerals. Thus, several filamentous ceramialean algae (Ceramium virgatum, Polysiphonia stricta, Savoiea arctica) had total protein content of 20–32% of dry weight, which is comparable to or higher than that of already commercially exploited species Citation: Yanshin, N.; Kushnareva, (Palmaria palmata, Porphyra sp.). Moreover, ceramialean algae contained high amounts of pigments, A.; Lemesheva, V.; Birkemeyer, C.; macronutrients, and ascorbic acid.

Baccaurea sapida (Roxb.) Muell. Arg. known as Burmese grapes belongs to the family Euphorbiaceae and is native to Southeast Asia. The observance on Baccaurea ramiflora leads that this plant is utilized as an antichloristic and anodyne against rheumatoid arthritis, abscesses, cellulitis and treat injuries. This plant also has anti-diarrheal, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, neuropharmacological, antioxidant and cytotoxic activities. Therefore, the present study was conducted to evaluate anthelmintic and insecticidal activities of different extract of Baccaurea ramiflora. For anthelmintic activity, Pheretima posthuma was selected as test animal while 25, 50, 100 mg/ml concentrations of samples were tested in the bioassay, from which time of paralysis and time of death of worms were estimated. Evaluation of insecticidal activity was performed against Sitophilus oryzae to calculate the mortality rate. Extracts of MEE, EE, ACE, CHE, PEE and NHE were for the activity determination. In anthelmintic study, extract exhibited its activity in dose-dependent manner showing higher the concentration, faster the effect. Extract of EE, PEE, CHE and MEE in case of 100 mg/ml concentration exhibited its paralytic effect followed by death within a short period of time among which ACE extract gave the best result which only took approx.

    Rufford Small Grant: Progress Report - 2 2012 Project Title: Assessing the diversity of national red listed vascular plants and hotspots identification at Rema- Kalenga Wildlife Sanctuary, Bangladesh Project leader: Md. Qumruzzaman Chowdhury Project summary Rema-Kalenga Wildlife Sanctuary (RKWS) is one of the most critical protected areas (PA) in Bangladesh where a large number endemic plant and animal species have already disappeared due to severe anthropogenic disturbances. Therefore, assessment of red listed species diversity and identification of biodiversity hotspots are important in conservation management. Hence, the general objective of the work is to develop baseline information on the occurrence and diversity patterns of the national red listed vascular plant species in the PA to foster conservation of these threatened components of nature. Specific objectives (I) Quantification of red listed species diversity and exploration of their distributional patterns in different habitats. (II) Identification of hotspots within the PA. Results Diversity of Red Listed Vascular Plants We found a total of 66 red listed vascular plants of 35 families and 55 genera in the Rema- Kalenga Wildlife Sanctuary (Table 1). Plantation forest consists of 47 species of 42 genus and 28 families. Natural forest has 17 unique species. Highest richness value (18) was found in plot 2 of natural forest and lowest value was observed in sample plot 4 (Figure 1a). Out of 50 plots in 1 Rufford Small Grant: Progress Report - 2 2012 plantation forest 4 plots did not have any red listed species. Richness value ranged from 0 to 14 with a mean value of 5.32. In terms of alpha diversity, mean values were 1.64 and 1.07 for natural and plantation forests, respectively (Figure 1b).

The soxhlated extraction and standard methods were used for extractions and phytochemical analysis. The drug was administration orally, animal’s observed from cage side observations and mean body weight was taken for 14 days. There phytochemical analysis of ethanolic extract of the leaves of Baccaurea ramiflora and Microcos paniculata revealed the presence of alkaloids, carbohydrates, glycosides, tannins, phytosterols, saponins and flavonoids. The oral acute toxicity study showed no noticeable clinical signs of toxicity and mortality during 14 days of the study period. No statistically significant alterations in body weights, compared to control group. We conclude that the outcome of the present study may add scientific information of ethanolic, chloroform extracts and acute toxicity study of the leaves of Baccaurea ramiflora and Microcos paniculata to the system of medical specialization. Ethanolic extract of leaves of Baccaurea ramiflora and Microcos paniculata was found to be nontoxic up to 5000 mg/kg body weight, so the LD50 is greater than 5000 mg/kg body weight.
