Barti tribe is a small Arabic speaking community moved from North Darfur state in early dry periods to the Fangoga area in Sennar State. In this study ethnobotanical survey on traditional medicinal plants used by this community was conducted in July 2016. The data was collected from a total of 85 informants with a mean age of 62 years using semi-structured questionnaires. Informants were asked about the plants and the harvested parts they use to cure the prevalent diseases, methods of preparing the herbal remedy, and administrative details. The study documented 53 medicinal plants used to treat various ailments. The most utilized plant families were Leguminosae followed by Apocynaceae and Malvaceae. Based on plant habits, herbs recorded the highest proportion of the medicinal plants (36%) followed by trees (34%) and shrubs (30%). Of the total plants 77% are wild and 23% are cultivated species. Commonly treated diseases are jaundice, rheumatic pain, stomach pain, and snake bites. Further pharmacological and phytochemical research studies are needed to identify active components in the reported plants, and their efficiency to cure the diseases.","PeriodicalId":23334,"journal":{"name":"Tropical Plant Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141206932","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}

Hydro-priming is an important seed treatment technique for rapid seed germination and pre-sowing of seeds with halo-priming is also known as an effective tool. Therefore, a study was conducted with the aim of evaluating the effect of different priming sources with various durations on okra seeds germination and development. Two varieties of okra viz. BARI Dheros 2 (V 1 ) and Green finger okra (V 2 ) having four treatments (T 1 , non-primed seeds; T 2 , seed soaking with normal tap water ± 25ºC for 12 hr; T 3 , priming with hot water 50ºC for 5 min; T 4 , priming of seeds with 3% NaCl for 12 hr) were investigated in a completely randomized design (CRD), each treatment being replicated three times. Results of the study showed that maximum seed germination percentage (92.79%), seed vigor index (1019 cm), first flowering days, days to harvesting maturity, 1000 seeds weight, and total number of fruits per plant (29.5) were observed when the seeds primed by hot water 50 º C for 5 min. In this study, seed germination and all other parameters were also increased by normal water and halo-priming (3% NaCl). Our results showed that hydro-priming (with hot water) were found superior to hydro-priming (with normal water) and halo-priming (3% NaCl). Both priming influenced performance of two varieties, though green finger variety showed slightly better performance in almost all the parameters over the variety BARI Dheros 2. Our results suggest that hydro-priming and halo-priming can improve okra seed germination as well as okra production","PeriodicalId":23334,"journal":{"name":"Tropical Plant Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76501133","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}

Three sampling plots of 50 by 50 m using systematic line transect were laid. Composition of the established plantation was assessed by taking fifteen different soil samples (0–3, 3–6 and 6–9 cm depth) at each plot and the seed banks composition was determined by greenhouse germination over a period of 3 months. In the soil seed bank seedling, the Shannon-Wienner index had 2.8. The result of other biodiversity indices were; 2.8 for species evenness value. For Margaref’s index of species richness, Taungya farm had value of 123.9. Species abundance in seedlings germinated from soil seed bank was observed as 349 species from Taungya farm. On the other hand, sapling densities, the common tree saplings in this plantation were Baphia nitida, Ficus exasperata and Rauvolfia vomitoria. The species abundance from the sapling was also observed in Taungya farm with the total of 27 seedling m.The value in the other biodiversity indices; Margalef’s index of species richness (4.19), Pielou’s species evenness index (0.9) and Shannon Weiner index (2.97). The similarity between the composition of the seed bank flora and that of the above vegetation (sapling) and established plantation was low throughout the study. The seed bank density and diversity for most species in this study were found to be greatly influenced by environmental factors.

The objective was to document and analyze the floristic composition and the associated ethnobotanical knowledge of medicinal and wild edible plants. The study applied a combination of standard plant taxonomic, plant ecological and ethnobotanical methods. Ninety five plots of 30 m by 30 m for trees, 10 m by 10 m for shrubs and 5 m by 5 m for herbs were used to collect vegetation data. Four hundred fourteen informants were involved in the ethnobotanical data collection using semi-structured interviews and discussion with informants. Data were analyzed using R Statistical Software version 3.2.3 and analytical methods of ethnobotany. A total of 555 plant species of which 266 (48%) those used as medicinal; 35 (6.31%) wild plants consumed by people were recorded. The plant species recorded indicated high taxonomic diversity as they belong to 341 genera and 115 families. Eight plant community types were identified. In addition to climatic variability, five environmental factors including altitude, slope, aspect grazing, and disturbance had significant contributions in determining plant community types where altitude is the most influential. Fourteen major plant use categories were identified including the medicinal and the wild edibles. The medicinal plants are distributed within the eight plant communities constituting 46% to 72% of their species composition. Of the 35 wild edible plants, 85.71% were also said to be medicinal. Increasing population, commercial agriculture and firewood collection were among the major threats to the vegetation. Plant communities: Ficus-sur-Croton macrostachyus, Schefflera abyssinica-Syzygium guineense, Ilex mitis-Macaranga capensis and Arundinaria alpina-Lepidotrichillia volkensii plant community types constituted more than 65% of their species composition as medicinal, hence, need priority attention for conservation.","PeriodicalId":23334,"journal":{"name":"Tropical Plant Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77519527","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 higher individual plant density of trees was recorded for Shorea robusta followed by Schima wallichii and Pinus roxburghii.The high IVI exhibited by Shorea robusta is largely due to its higher relative frequency, relative density and relative dominance compared to other species. The occurrence of many species with low IVI values indicates that most species are rarely distributed in the forest. The result of species diversity showed the highest diversity index for trees (2.78) followed by sapling (2.55) and seedling (2.38). The value of species richness in the present study was found to be falling between ranges 15.81 to 37.81. According to girth classes, the tree species Shorea robusta and Tectona grandis followed almost a normal distribution curve with less trees belonging to smaller and big GBH classes suggesting a fairly stable population in the study area.
