Abiotic stresses such as salt and drought represent adverse environmental conditions that significantly damage plant growth agricultural productivity. In this study, the mechanism of growth-promoting rhizo-bacteria (PGPR)-stimulated tolerance against abiotic has been explored. Results suggest PGPR strains, Arthrobacter protophormiae (SA3) Dietzia natronolimnaea (STR1), can facilitate stress in wheat crop, while Bacillus subtilis (LDR2) provide wheat. These strains enhance photosynthetic...
Abstract Sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum) is well known for its diverse pharmacological properties and has been widely used in traditional medicine the treatment of various ailments. Although a variety secondary metabolites with potent biological activities are identified, our understanding biosynthetic pathways that produce them remained largely incomplete. We studied transcriptional changes sweet after methyl jasmonate (MeJA) treatment, which considered an elicitor metabolites, identified...
Abstract A phytochemical study of the rhizome essential oils four different Hedychium species was performed by means GC and GC/MS analyses. H. ellipticum mainly contained 1,8‐cineole, sabinene, terpin‐4‐ol, while aurantiacum possessed para ‐cymene, bornyl acetate as major entities. Similarly, trans‐meta ‐mentha‐2,8‐diene linalool were noticed in coronarium. Three collections ( I – III ) spicatum showed amazing differences relative contents their oils, 1,8‐cineole 10‐epi‐ γ ‐eudesmol being...
The essential oil content in the inflorescence of lavender (Lavandula angustifolia Mill.) cultivated mid hills Uttarakhand was found to be 2.8 % based on fresh weight. analysed by capillary GC and GC- MS. Thirty seven constituents, representing 97.81 were identified. major components linalyl acetate (47.56 %), linalool (28.06 lavandulyl (4.34 %) ?-terpineol (3.75 %). quality produced India comparable that Hungary, France, China, Bulgaria, Russia USA.
Summary The medicinal plant sweet basil ( Ocimum basilicum ) accumulates bioactive ursane‐ and oleanane‐type pentacyclic triterpenes PCT s), ursolic acid oleanolic acid, respectively, in a spatio‐temporal manner; however, the biosynthetic enzymes their contributions towards biosynthesis remain to be elucidated. Two CYP 716A subfamily cytochrome P450 monooxygenases 716A252 716A253) are identified from methyl jasmonate‐responsive expression sequence tag collection functionally characterized,...
Pentacyclic triterpenes (PCTs) represent a major class of bioactive metabolites in banaba (Lagerstroemia speciosa) leaves; however, biosynthetic enzymes and their involvement the temporal accumulation PCTs remain to be studied. We use an integrated approach involving transcriptomics, metabolomics gene function analysis identify oxidosqualene cyclases (OSCs) cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) that catalyzed sequential cyclization oxidative reactions towards PCT scaffold diversification....
Senna is a leguminous and industrial crop that produces high-quality glycosides (sennosides) in its leaves pods, which have substantial therapeutic effects for alleviating constipation worldwide. However, further research on employing Jeevamrutha required. As result, the experiment was carried out at CSIR-CIMAP Hyderabad two consecutive years, years 2020–21 2021–22. The main aim to identify optimum dose of higher growth, yield, quality Senna. study used randomized complete block design...
Biosynthesis of eugenol shares its initial steps with that lignin, involving conversion hydroxycinnamic acids to their corresponding coenzyme A (CoA) esters by 4-coumarate:CoA ligases (4CLs). In this investigation, a 4CL (OS4CL) was identified from glandular trichome-rich tissue Ocimum sanctum high sequence similarity an isoform (OB4CL_ctg4) basilicum. The levels OS4CL and OB4CL_ctg4-like transcripts were highest in O. trichome, followed leaf, stem root. content leaf essential oil positively...
Aquilaria agallocha Roxb. family, Thymelaeaceae, is an evergreen plant of South-East Asia, commonly described as aloe wood or agarwood. Traditionally, the bark, root and heartwood are used for their medicinal properties a folk medicine hundreds years. Chemical analyses revealed that bulk oil constituted by agarospirol (12.5%), jinkoh-eremol (11.8%) hinesol (8.9%) major contributor. In present work, QSAR model antiinflammatory activity 10-epi-γ-Eudesmol, jinkoh-eremol, other compounds has...
