It has a wide range of applications such as drug delivery, coatings, energy generation and storage, gas separation, water purification, sensor fabrication, and catalysis. Most of the widely used carbon materials are graphene and carbon nanotubes. Nonrenewable precursors (e.g., natural gas), toxic chemicals, and complex synthesis methods are often required for their preparation, limiting their wide practical applications. Besides these, biomass-derived carbons are attractive materials as they can be prepared simply from renewable biomass. However, their practical applications' success partially depends on their properties like size, shape, porosity, and presence of heteroatoms, which can be controlled by selecting the proper type of biomass, activating agent, and preparation method. It is noted that different species of plants have different chemical compositions and textures. This mini-review summarizes our group's recent sophisticated developments in agricultural-bio-waste-derived carbonaceous materials, including nanomaterials for electrocatalytic water splitting, electrochemical sensors, supercapacitors, water splitting, water treatment, gas separation, and enhance oil recovery. This offers valuable insights and essential guidelines towards the future design of agro-waste derived carbonaceous materials in various applications.","PeriodicalId":55590,"journal":{"name":"Bangladesh Journal of Plant Taxonomy","volume":"27 1","pages":"467-478"},"PeriodicalIF":0.9,"publicationDate":"2020-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3329/bjpt.v27i2.50686","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47670372","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Samples of leaves, stems, roots, fruits, and seeds of each species were collected, fixed, and processed according to the paraffin method for light microscopy. The numerical analysis derived from 11 anatomical characteristics showed that the number and dimensions of vessels in the root, presence of aerenchyma in the leaf, number and dimensions of palisade parenchyma, and mesophyll type were useful for grouping the Iberis taxa. The testa was composed of four layers: the epidermis, subepidermis, compact tissue, and parenchyma. The testa thickness was a significant character to distinguish the investigated Iberis species. In this study, the traditional classification of Turkish Iberis species was mostly congruent with the dendrogram generated vegetative anatomical properties. \u0000Bangladesh J.

Arare, fan-shaped palm species, locally called Aanor or Chatipata has primarily been located in the park. The plants have yetto bear any flowers and fruits. Leaf specimens were collected and studied in plant taxonomy laboratory. The sterile specimens were identified as Livistona jenkinsiana Griff. based on external morphological characters. Further exploration is necessary in Bangladesh to find its population status and distribution record of Livistona jenkisiana Griff. When exploring Khadimnagar national park of Sylhet forest division in 2015 to find out the plant species of conservation worthiness the authors were encountered with a number of palms in the stream sides at the beginning of two hours trail near the forest beat office. The area is deep forest with no disturbance from humanity dominated by a good number of tree species particularly Chapalish (Artocarpus chama Buch.-Ham. ex Wall.), Champa (Michelia champaca L.), Agar (Aquilaria agallocha Roxb.), Shegun (Techtona grandis L. f.), Zybans (Bambusa vulgaris Schrad. ex Wendl.), bushy vegetations, climbers and annual herbaceous plants. Wildlife population including hanuman was encountered during the visit. Among the palm plants, one palm was identified as Pinanga gracilis which was listed earlier as red plant in our country but other one palm with fan-shaped leaves locally called Aanor or Chatipata could not be identified in the field. The authors observed carefully its vegetative growth form and took a number of images from different angles and also collected plant specimens for further study using traditional taxonomic techniques (Hyland 1972; Alexiades 1996). The specimens later were brought to plant taxonomy laboratory, Department of Botany, University of Dhaka where this was thoroughly examined and studied for all morphological properties. The unknown palm species was identified as Livistona jenkinsiana Griffith by matching of its properties with the properties given in the Flora of China (Wu et al., 2007) and Major Jenkin’s palm in Thailand (Barfod et al., 2010). Identification was confirmed by discussing with Professor Anders Sanchez Barfod, Department of Biological Sciences, Aarhus University, Denmark and also authenticated by comparing with Google known images of LivistonaJenkinsianaGriff. The species has primarily been reported as rare species recorded from Bangladesh which belongs to the family Arecaceae. Earlier the species was reported by William Griffith in 1845 from Assam and he mentioned the species may occur in Bangladesh. Very recently Barfod et al. (2010) also mentioned that the species may occur in Bangladesh territory. After W. Griffith a good number of works were done on the flora of Bangladesh including Hooker (1892), Prain (1903), Rahman and Hassan (1995), Uddin et al.

In this work, we observed modifications of forest and pre-forest structures according to bioclimatic variations. However, in this region, the xericity of the climate is not the only factor destroying the plant cover, anthropization is also a degradation factor. While being aware of the negative consequences, man, through their abusive cultivation, illegal logging, overgrazing, urbanization, the depletion of natural resources;, inhibits the evolution of vegetation, participates in the replacement of a rich plant cover by another and more xerophytic plant cover with thorny and/or toxic feature. The landscape is dominated, for the most part, by open and degraded formations based on therophytes and chamaephytes, linked to Rosmarinetea and Cisto-Lavanduletea. The tree structures in Hafir and the Moutas reserve, still occupy only minimal areas subject to the destructive actions of man and his flock. These formations are still linked to the Quercetea ilicis. These ecosystems are marked by a regressive evolution (forest, pre-forest, scrub, scrubland and therophytization). \u0000Bangladesh J.

Nepal is the multi-ethnic, multi-lingual and multi-religious nation with diversified culture and tradition. There are more than 123 caste/ethnic groups speaking 123 languages (CBS, 2011). The ethnic communities have significant customary knowledge on utilization of plant and plant parts and there is a long tradition of transferring this indigenous knowledge from generation to generation (Acharya and Acharya, 2009). However, all the ethnic groups have their own tradition, culture and way of living (Chaudhary et al., 2020). Various communities in Nepal are still giving continuation to the use of plants for their living. Till date, several ethnobotanical studies have been carried out in Nepal to uncover the uses of plants in several communities and rural places (Rajbhandari, 2001; Joshi and Joshi, 2008; Acharya and Acharya, 2009; Malla and Chhetri, 2009; Thapa, 2012; Malla et al., 2015; Chaudhary et al., 2020). Maithili community is one of the ethnic groups with the population of 3.1 million which is about 11.67% of the total population of Nepal (CBS, 2011). Maithili people have developed the diversified use of plants for food, medicine, religious and cultural activities and other purpose. Although, many ethnobotanical studies have been conducted in different parts of the country, ethnobotanical studies of Maithili community have not been documented yet in Nepal. However, Jha and Jha (1996) have documented ritualistic significance of plants associated with Maithili traditions in Northern Bihar, India. Thus, the present study was conducted to identify and record the uses of medicinal and other plant of Maithili people in the Ramdhuni municipality, Sunsari district, Nepal. This study has recorded the use of plants in various purposes, nevertheless, the doses and way of plant intake for medicinal use was not mentioned.
