The drug is known by the names Senna, Indian Senna, Tinnevelly Senna, and Cassia Senna in the Indian, British, and American pharmacopeias. It appears to be native to North Africa. Sennoside A and B, anthraquinone glycosides responsible for the plant's laxative effects, are found in the leaves, pods, and seeds, which are the plant's most valuable parts. The plant grows as a perennial in the dry regions of Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan, Egypt, Southern Arabia, and neighboring countries. Through the Medical School Salerno and the writings of Arab Physicians, it was first introduced into Europe in the twelfth century. Cassia accutifolia , or senna as it became known in English, is found in tropical North Africa's Northern Sudan, Egypt's Upper Nile, and some areas of Ethiopia. Senna alexandrina was born in Yemen, the Saudi province of Hadramgunl, and some areas of Sind (Pakistan). It is, however, common along the Gujarat coast, particularly in the Mundra coastal tract and Aigal near Bhuj in the Kutch area of India. The plant must have, at some stage, been transported from its native North Africa to India. It is believed that it was originally used in Tirunelvelle, an area of Tamil Nadu, sometime around the middle of the eleventh century. The plant has become a native in India throughout the years. It is grown in semi-arid regions of Gujarat, Rajasthan, and Tamil Nadu (Tinunevelle, Ramanathapuram, Madurai, Salem, and Tineichirapalli). Senna alexandrina is a tiny, obtuse-branched perennial shrub that grows to 60 to 75 cm. Large, compound, pinnate, 5−8 gugate, oval-lanceolate, plebrous, bluish-green to pale green, lamina 2.5−6 cm long, 7−8 mm broad, whole edge, acutely apical leaves. It typically blooms after 65 to 70 days. Bright yellow, axillary (or subterminal), many erect racemes with membranous bracts have bright yellow flowers. Legumes are flat, 15−17 mm wide, with compressed, obovate, and cuneate seeds. Compared to Cassia angustifolia , Cassia accutifolia has smaller, thinner-consistency leaves and pods. Some taxonomists combined these two species into a single taxon called Cassia senna . Senna is taken orally as a tea, pill formulation, or powder encapsulated to relieve intestinal constipation. Senna has been the subject of several reviews; however, we focus on the most recent facts to be updated rather than previous review papers. Senna's origin, botany and taxonomy, agriculture, genetic advancement, cytogenetics, mutation breeding, diseases and pests, pharmaceutical significance, microbiological activities, etc. were thoroughly reviewed. A brief review of available cytogenetics, genetic advancement, and agricultural technology was also addressed. Citation: Lal RK, Chanotiya CS, Kumar A. 2023.

The aim of the present study was to assess various morpho-anatomical aspects of T. trifoliata , using plant histology techniques to deliver information about in cultivation and postharvest and its potential use as cut foliage. Plants were collected from natural area and cultivated in greenhouse, in individual 8-L containers, with drip irrigation. Preparations of leaves and rachis were made from extracted fresh material and then observed under a fluorescence microscope. The morpho-anatomical features of primary interest included the presence of mucilage-tannin idioblasts, sparsely distributed in the mesophyll and with abundant spheroidal druses associated with vascular bundles. The presence of these idioblasts is closely related to physiological responses to drought. Stomatal density showed significant differences between juvenile fronds (without spores) and fertile adult fronds (with spores), with mean values of 73.3 and 119.8 stomata/mm 2 , respectively. This may allow explaining the difference in behavior of these fronds at post-harvest and defining the harvest point. Knowledge on the leaf morpho-anatomy of a species under cultivation is essential for its systematic characterization, especially important in plants with high rates of natural hybridization, as T. trifoliata . This study constitutes a contribution for future research aimed to clarify biochemical and physiological aspects of T. trifoliata and thus evaluate its introduction as a commercial crop intended as cut foliage and/or as an ornamental plant.

The plant materials included Zoysia matrella 'Diamond', Z. japonica 'Palisades', three Z . matrella × Z. japonica hybrids DALZ 1701, DALZ 1713, and 'Innovation', and two Z. minima × Z. matrella hybrids (DALZ 1309 and 'Lazer'). Treatments included a control (nutrient solution) and two saline treatments representing moderate and high salt levels. The electrical conductivity (EC) was 1.3 dS m −1 for control and moderate (EC5) and high salinity (EC10) were 5.0 and 10.0 dS m −1 , respectively. At the end of eight-weeks of treatment, the relative (percent control) shoot dry weight (DW) was greatest in 'Diamond' in EC10, and the relative root DW was greatest in DALZ 1309 in EC5. A cluster analysis based on the relative tissue dry weight identified 'Diamond', DALZ 1309, and DALZ 1713 as the most salt tolerant genotypes. Additionally, the green leaf area (GLA) index of 'Diamond' and DALZ 1713 were 98.8% and 100%, respectively, indicating excellent visual appearance under high salt levels. Bi-weekly clipping DW showed that 'Diamond' continued to produce biomass throughout the duration of the study under the EC10 treatment. Sodium (Na + ) and chloride (Cl − ) content in the shoot tissue of the seven turfgrass genotypes indicated that lower concentrations corresponded to greater salt tolerance indicating exclusion of Na + and Cl − from the shoot tissue. Taken together, the genotypes 'Diamond' and DALZ 1713 were determined to be the most salt tolerant and recommended for use in areas with high soil or water salinity.","PeriodicalId":348664,"journal":{"name":"Technology in Horticulture","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129788097","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}
