The study evaluated the socio-cultural and economic characteristics of villagers; identified the different plant resources exploited in and around the forest particularly their medicinal use and the mode of exploitation, preparation and administration and user’s knowledge of these plants. Semi-structured questionnaires were administered to 100 people from two purposively selected villages representing 30% of the estimated village population in the study area. The socio-economic characteristics of respondents, the methods of preparation, and methods of harvesting and route of administration of medicinal plants were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Pearson correlation tests were conducted to determine relationships between socio-economic and ethnobotanic variables. The majority of respondents was farmers, married to one or more wives and had some secondary education with an average annual income of less than 100, 000 FCFA. The wide use of medicinal plants, high value attributed to them, informant consensus factor and fidelity level could validate the effectiveness and efficacy of the ethno-botanical practices of the Mount Nlonako communities. 33 plant species were identified belonging to 22 families used to cure 28 diseases. Asteraceae was the most dominant family. Leaves and decoctions taken orally were the plant part and method most used for medicinal preparation and use. 14 species were used as fuel wood, ten for fencing, 15 for timber, 6 for cultural activities and 22 forest products used as food. The collected data may help to avoid the loss of traditional knowledge on the use of medicinal plants in this area. The findings of this study serve as baseline for future ethnobotanic, socio-economic, pharmacological and phytochemical studies of medicinal plants in humid Central African montane forest.","PeriodicalId":16456,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medicinal Plants Studies","volume":"36 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135670214","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}

At present, stem cutting is the only way this plant is propagated which in future could lead to extinction. Besides, variation in the active compounds had been reported in fresh samples of C. nutans. Not many in vitro works had been carried out to cultivate this plant. The aim of this study was to establish clean (in vitro) cultures of C. nutans and determine the optimal callus induction and proliferation protocol, using various combination of plant growth regulators at different concentrations, ranging from 0-2.0mg/l, using leaf-segments. Highest percentage (87.88%) of aseptic C. nutans shoot cultures were successfully obtained from nodal segments disinfected using in 50% home bleach Clorox® for 20 minutes, and with 30% Clorox® for 50 minutes. Best callus induction was obtained from explants cultured on Murashige and Skoog media supplemented with Picloram alone at 0.5mg/l. This protocol would be useful to minimize the destruction of wild grown C. nutans and effective callus propagation would be beneficial to growing resources in a big scale.","PeriodicalId":16456,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medicinal Plants Studies","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135640683","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}

To quantify the changes in natural regeneration due to natural climate variability, a study was conducted in Damoh Forest Region covering over five decades. Out of 686 forest compartments in Damoh Forest Division, 42 forest compartments were studied covering 6.12% of the area. Changes in natural regeneration status were determined into three classes i.e. ‘improvement’, ‘deterioration’ and ‘unchanged’. Different categories of natural regeneration were termed as profuse, adequate, inadequate and poor. ‘Adequate’ regeneration has been recorded in the latest compartment history for only one compartment (compartment no. PF 236) of Damoh Forest Range. In the latest compartment histories of all the remaining 41 studied compartments, the regeneration status has been recorded as ‘inadequate’. There is no compartment having ‘profuse’ or ‘Poor’ category of regeneration status. Thus, natural regeneration in the study area is generally ‘Inadequate’. Out of 42 forest compartments, improvements in natural regeneration was found only in 06 compartments (14.28%), deterioration was observed in as many as 27 compartments (64.28%) and unchanged status of natural regeneration was found in 09 compartments (21.42%). Thus, there has been deterioration in the regeneration status in majority of the studied compartments. Both, climate and non-climatic factors might have been responsible for this deterioration. Restocking of forest is needed by seed sowing or planting of seedlings after timber harvest among climatic factors erratic and deficient rainfall could be the main factor.","PeriodicalId":16456,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Medicinal Plants Studies","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135737014","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}

One of the most significant herbal families, the Lamiaceae, contains a vast range of plants having biological and therapeutic uses. The most popular members of this family are several aromatic herbs and spices, including thyme, mint, oregano, basil, sage, rosemary, self-heal, hyssop, lemon balm, and a few others with more restricted uses. All around the world, it has been used as a food flavouring agent. Since, there are phenolic acids and flavonoids present, it is assumed to contain more antioxidants. Although they are used as flavourings in food, their antibacterial and antioxidant capabilities are what make them so valuable. In general, peppermint oil and its numerous derivatives are used in mouthwash, sweets, alcoholic liqueurs, ice cream, teas, chewing gum, cough drops, toothpaste, jellies, syrups, confections, insect repellents, detergents, and soaps.

Crop rotation with non-host plants has not been effective, since R. solanacearum has its disseminating and survival stages in the soil. The race and strain diversity of the pathogen has made breeding for resistant cultivars ineffective. That’s why study was done to isolate wilt causing bacteria Ralstonia solanacearum from the infected roots of Brinjal plant of Hadoti region and characterize the isolated bacteria through various methods. Initial cultures were grown by streaking on nutrient agar medium. After, bacterial wilt pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum was identified; it was confirmed by PCR (Polymerase chain reaction) amplification.

This gives growers the ability to raise an extremely wide range of medicinal herb species. Northern New Mexico has a long history of traditional use of medicinal herbs by Native American and Hispanic cultures. Also, northern New Mexico is faced with water deficit conditions especially in recent years due to climate change. Now traditional crops are no longer economical for the farmers, thus medicinal plants gain their importance.
