Database Formation for Authentication of Basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum) Leaf Using Image Processing Technique

Authentication of Leaf Image Using Image Processing Technique

The aim of the work is to classify and authenticate the medicinal plant materials and herbs widely used for Indian herbal medicinal preparation. The quality and authenticity of these leaves are to be ensured for the preparation of herbal medicines. The medicinal plant leaves are thoroughly screened, analyzed and compared with the database to give the correct measures of the texture to which cat...

Chloroplast DNA Phylogeography of Holy Basil (Ocimum tenuiflorum) in Indian Subcontinent

Ocimum tenuiflorum L., holy basil "Tulsi", is an important medicinal plant that is being grown and traditionally revered throughout Indian Subcontinent for thousands of years; however, DNA sequence-based genetic diversity of this aromatic herb is not yet known. In this report, we present our studies on the phylogeography of this species using trnL-trnF intergenic spacer of plastid genome as the...

Detection of Coastline Using Satellite Image-Processing Technique

Extended abstract 1- Introduction  Coasts maintain their natural sustainability without human intervention and in spite of short-term changes, we are ultimately confronted with a coastal healthy environment, i.e. natural, rocky beaches, sandy beaches and so on. Today's use of remote sensing in most natural sciences is widespread. Due to the fact that fieldwork is costly and time-consuming, ...

Modeling individual leaf area of basil (Ocimum basilicum) using different methods

Leaf area (LA) is a valuable key for plant physiological studies, therefore accurate and simple models for LA determination are important for many experimental comparisons. A greenhouse experiment was conducted from October 2009 to February 2010 in two basil cultivars (Purple Ruffles and Genovese) to estimate LA, leaf dry weight (DW), leaf fresh weight (DW) and leaf dimensions (width-W and leng...
