Conservation of biodiversity insacred groves is a consequence of the sacred physical space of the sacred grove which is communally shared as commons and used toobserve crucial social ceremonies in indigenous societies. While documenting the sacred groves in the district of North 24 Parganas ofWest Bengal through a detailed field survey, plants of local medicinal importance were identified in these patches in which the localpeople traditionally conserved the medicinal plants since time immemorial. An extensive field survey to potential district areas anddocumentation of major flora, including their correct identification and their related Traditional Knowledge (TK) in each SG was done.More than 120 local medicinal plants were found and traditional knowledge associated with these plants was documented whichincluded Adhatoda vasica, Abroma agustum, Andrographis paniculata, Bacopa monnieri, Centella asiatica, Cocculus hirsutus, Gloriosasuperba, Tinospora cordifolia to name very few. Out of these purified aqueous extract of Cocculus hirsutus has also been reported inCOVID-19 treatment in many research papers. Traditional knowledge associated with these plants found in the sacred groves is a hiddentreasure from where further research, learning and dissemination of potential information can ensue. These SGs are examples of in-situconservation traditionally by local people and gene pool for various medicinal plants.","PeriodicalId":14298,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PLANT AND ENVIRONMENT","volume":"59 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139334888","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The endocannabinoid system CB1 and CB2 respond differently to variousphytochemicals such as cannabidiol, tetrahydrocannabinol and terpenes. They also interact with the endogenous ligands synthesized bythe human body. The role of nanotechnology in the design of a drug delivery system is discussed in this review. The advantages with theuse of Quantum dots are briefly outlined. Cannabis-based phytochemicals are known for psychotic and non-psychotic effects. We haveunderlined the immense potential of this plant in treating diseases. Cannabidiol (CBD) as one of the main non-psychotic phytochemicals,has established itself as an active pharmaceutical agent in some approved medicines worldwide. Cannabis-based phytochemicals can beused as targeted drug delivery vehicles. Future direction in this field could be a synthesis of derivatives of cannabidiol and its targeteddrug delivery to the cannabinoid receptors.

Positive isolates were obtainedwith a dark brown color below and surrounding the fungal colony due to guaiacol oxidation on potato dextrose agar. One potentendophytic fungal isolate that produces laccase is identified as Aspergillus turcosus by using the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) andBLAST analysis. After optimization, maximum laccase production was obtained at the following conditions: medium (Czapeck Dox Broth),carbon source (sucrose), nitrogen source (sodium nitrate), pH (6), activator tannic acid (20 mM), incubation period (35°C) and duration(8 days) with 3 (8 mM fermentation) disc inoculums. The maximum laccase activity was obtained at 65 U mL-1 in submerged optimizedconditions, which was more than two fold compared to the unoptimized conditions. As estimated by SDS-PAGE, The molecular massof the monomer of pure laccase was determined to be 66 kDa. After five days of treatment with the laccase of A. turcosus, the syntheticdyes phenol red, bromophenol blue, methyl orange, and Congo red lose their colour. Clearance rates for chemical oxygen demand were59.46 and 48.57%, and phenolic contaminants were 80 and 22.3% in coal and textile effluents during the required treatment periods,respectively.

The synergized effect of arid climatic conditionsand inherent soil salinity channeled this species’s intentional introduction in Banni grassland. Due to the allelopathic effect of this speciesthe existence of native grass species is in danger. However, in recent years, P. juliflora has replaced many of the native vegetation andis being recognized as an important species for the ecological stability of Banni grassland. Several ecologists have studied the role ofthis species in stabilizing the grassland ecosystem. In the present paper, its economic role is broadly reviewed with the vegetationcover maintained by it. In Banni grassland, the grass species grow only in monsoon and persists few months. For rest of the year (i.e. insummer) the green cover is maintained by P. juliflora. However, this species has provided remarkable livelihood opportunities. Apartfrom counting the negative effects, the counter-positive effects of the species have been recognized through this paper. P. juliflora hasslowly transformed the Banni grassland into woodland. It has also altered the micro-diversity in the soil and ultimately transformedthe whole ecosystem into new regimes. Eradication and reversion of P. juliflora spread is rather impossible. Hence, the managementaspects of P. juliflora that need to maximize its positive features are discussed.","PeriodicalId":14298,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PLANT AND ENVIRONMENT","volume":"258 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139335124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They arehighly adapted morphologically and physiologically to survive in extreme environments. Mangroves are found worldwide in theirdistribution, with 110 species that belong to 20 different families. In India, mangrove forests are mostly found on the Andaman andNicobar Islands and the West and East Coast. Mangroves have enormous ecological, commercial and biological significance. They arealso regarded as hotspots for microbes because of their rich microbial diversity. Various types of microorganisms like bacteria, fungi,microalgae and macroalgae are abundant in mangrove ecosystems. More recently, fungal endophytes associated with mangroveshave added to their microbial diversity. Many mangrove plants are used as ethno-medicine in traditional health care. Mangroves arealso used as antimicrobial and antiviral agents. Fungal endophytes -colonizing medicinal plants are reported to produce importantbioactive metabolites. These endophytes are believed to produce same and more biologically active metabolites as compared to theirrespective hosts. Many fungal endophytes isolated from mangrove species have produced some important biological active metaboliteslike triterpenes, indole triterpenes, isocoumarin and marinamide. Therefore, the study of fungal endophytes associated with medicinalmangroves may give rise to important endophytic strains that might produce novel and new bioactive metabolites of pharmaceutical,industrial and agricultural importance. Due to the alarming rate of depletion of mangrove genetic resources across the world, it is highlyneeded to explore fungal endophytes associated with mangroves for the inventorisation of new metabolites.","PeriodicalId":14298,"journal":{"name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PLANT AND ENVIRONMENT","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139335070","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study involved collecting and analyzing water samples from ten sampling sites inthe city. Results showed that the water had acceptable pH and salinity (Chloride). However, it has high turbidity, electrical conductivity,and biochemical oxygen demand, indicating poor quality of water. The levels of essential plant nutrients, such as nitrogen, phosphorus,and potassium, were found to be within the acceptable range for agricultural use. Statistical analysis was performed, and Karl Pearson’scoefficient was determined and analyzed for various physicochemical parameters.

Our study throws light upon these plants’ invasiveness and rainfall-adapted characteristics. We performed the studyin the Botanical Garden, Banaras Hindu University, Uttar Pradesh, India. The study included two experiments (1) Seed germination underdifferent treatments- 48% H2SO4 for 40 minutes (T1), Water at 100°C for 10 minutes (T2), one-day water-soaked seed (T3); (2) Seedlingssurvival percentage and growth-indices under different watering conditions i.e., 50 mL water per seedling every day (W1), 50 mL wateronce in four days (W2), 50 mL water once in ten days (W3). Result of this study revealed that P. juliflora exhibited better germinationspeed and percentage in all three treatments (T1, T2, T3) in comparison to the L. leucocephala, while under T1 treatment, both exhibitedbest germination. On the 60th day of experiment maximum survival percentage was recorded under W2 water condition but maximumroot length was observed under W3 treatment for L. leucocephala and P. juliflora while maximum stem height was found under W1 andW2 treatments for L. leucocephala and P. juliflora respectively. These finding would conclude that P. juliflora is more potential invaderin comparison to L. leucocephala as this gave the best result under the drought stress condition W2 and W3 for all the parameters andstudy performed.

Different researchers have mostly focused their attention on the molecular workings of circadian rhythms invarious plant systems and the circadian architecture of transcriptomes under varying conditions. The present investigation evaluatedthe influence of variable geomagnetic field on the expression of genes that are under the control of circadian rhythm, and checkedwhether the expression pattern of these genes with respect to time (circadian nature) under different magnetic flux density changesor not in Arabidopsis seedlings. This study examined the impact of varying magnetic flux densities on the mRNA expression levels ofsix genes in Arabidopsis thaliana during the final 33 hours of their total 120 hour growth period. A. thaliana seedlings were subjectedto four distinct magnetic flux densities (0, 25, 50, and 90 μT), and the abundance of transcripts for chlorophyll a/b binding protein 4,the large subunit of RuBisCO, rubisco activase, chalcone synthase, porphobilinogen synthase, and phytoene dehydrogenase genes wasexamined.
