The history of introduction of the African baobab (Adansonia digitata, Malvaceae: Bombacoideae) in the Indian subcontinent
To investigate the pathways of introduction of the African baobab, Adansonia digitata, to the Indian subcontinent, we examined 10 microsatellite loci in individuals from Africa, India, the Mascarenes and Malaysia, and matched this with historical evidence of human interactions between source and destination regions. Genetic analysis showed broad congruence of African clusters with biogeographic...
متن کاملAntidiarrhoeal effect of the crude methanol extract of the dried fruit of L. (Malvaceae) Adansonia digitata
Materials and Methods Diarrhoeal disease is a potential cause of morbidity and mortality especially in children and young animals in the developing countries [1]. Traditional medicinal plants are widely employed in most developing countries for treating diarrhoea [2]. Treatment of diarrhoea is generally non-specific and usually aimed at reducing the discomfort and inconvenience of frequent bowe...
متن کاملSynthesis, Characterization and Antimicrobial Studies of Stem Bark Mediated Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles From Adansonia digitata (L.)
In the present study green synthesis of silver nanopartiles (SNPs) is prepared by using aqueous stem bark extract of Adansonia digitata (L.) as a reducing, stabilizing and capping agent. The synthesized SNPs are characterized by UV-VIS Spectroscopy, FTIR, XRD, AFM, SEM with EDAX and TEM. Validation of SNPs was performed on 07 bacterial species and 05 fungal species. For preliminary conformation...
متن کاملAntibacterial, Antifungal and Antitubercular Activity of Methanolic Extracts of Adansonia digitata L
This study was aimed with an objective to investigate the antimicrobial, antifungal and antitubercular activity of different parts of Adansonia digitata L. The leaves, Root bark, and Fruit pulp were extracted with methanol. The antibacterial and antifungal activity of the extracts were determined using Broth dilution and Agar disc diffusion method and antitubercular activity was determined usin...
متن کاملProximate Analysis, Phytochemical Screening and Antimicrobial Activity of Baobab (Adansonia digitata) Leaves
Baobab (Adansonia digitata L.) is known in Africa as the tree of life because there are many traditional uses for every part of it, from the leaves to the roots. This study carried out the proximate analysis of baobab leaves, screened the phytochemicals present and determined the leaves’ aqueous extract antimicrobial activity to suit the traditional way of preparation and use. Phytochemicals sc...
