The Cucurbita genus, a member of Cucurbitaceae family, also known as cucurbits, is native to the Americas. Genus members, like pepo and maxima, have been used for centuries in folk medicine treating gastrointestinal diseases intestinal parasites. These pharmacological effects are mainly attributed their phytochemical composition. Indeed, species natural source carotenoids, tocopherols, phenols, terpenoids, saponins, sterols, fatty acids, functional carbohydrates, polysaccharides, that beyond...
Crude extract of Myrica esculenta fruits, a wild edible species Indian Himalayan Region, was evaluated for phenolic compounds and antioxidant properties. Results revealed significant variation in total flavonoid contents across populations. Among populations, content varied between 1.78 2.51 mg gallic acid equivalent/g fresh weight (fw) fruits flavonoids ranged 1.31 1.59 quercetin fw. Antioxidant activity determined by 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) radical...
Three Himalayan medicinal plants (Habenaria intermedia, H. edgeworthii, and Roscoea procera), widely used in vitality strengthening Ayurvedic formulations India, were assessed for nutritional phytochemical constituents, antioxidant activity. These target species emerged as a good source of minerals possessed important micro elements. Individually, intermedia contained high content total phenols, thiamins, tannins, calcium; R. procera was rich potassium iron content; edgeworthii sodium. While...
The present study was carried out to assess floristic diversity, community composition and regeneration status of different forests in Nanda Devi National Park after prohibition human activities 1983 with a view understand the impact ban, provide basis for assessing subsequent changes on plant diversity composition.The comparison earlier studies conducted 1993 2003, indicated positive forest ecological conditions Park.A total 409 taxa belonging 203 genera 71 families (377 Angiosperms, 7...
Cold desert regions of Uttarakhand are one the least explored remote ecosystems in Himalaya with fragmented database. To address issue, task documenting floristic diversity cold deserts was taken up present study. A total 932 taxa (908 species, 05 subspecies and 19 varieties) belonging to 371 genera 76 families angiosperms gymnosperms were recorded. In view conservation plant diversity, methods such as in-situ conservation, popularizing cultivation endemic, threatened high value medicinal...
Distribution of Juniperus semiglobosa in India have been examined through literature, available herbarium specimens and with field observations. The density individuals are found decreasing trend due to fuel wood extraction coupled natural calamity high altitude regions, especially Trans Himalaya. Available population status, brief description, observations photographs provided the communication, for conservation habitats.
An in vitro propagation protocol has been developed for Berberis asiatica, an important Himalayan medicinal shrub. Significantly higher seed germination (50%) was obtained Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium with 1.0 µM 6-benzyladenine (BA). MS containing BA 0.1 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) yielded maximum callus induction percentage (100%) from in-vitro grown leaf explants. Maximum shoot proliferation when transferred to 2.0 plus 0.5 IAA or 6.0 NAA. The rooting (70%) root number per...
India is a rich storehouse of medicinal plants. All natural products can be termed bioactive molecules, as every diverse molecule possesses one kind or multiple kinds biological oblique pharmacological activities. The beauty about Natural Products (Herbal Drugs) libraries the uniqueness in their chemical structural diversity and innovativeness that compasses varied actions. Herbal drugs played an important role drug discovery were basis most early medicines. major this also seen ontological,...
