Phenolic compounds contribute to the antioxidant property of plants and efficient extraction plant phenolics could enhance its potential. Lagerstroemia speciosa (L.) Pers. has been investigated for pharmacological activities, but comparing activities derived from various parts a key role in developing natural antioxidants. This study was conducted standardize leaves, pods branches L. plant, fol...

Integration of WorldView-2 satellite image with small footprint airborne LiDAR data for estimation of tree carbon at species level has been investigated in tropical forests of Nepal. This research aims to quantify and map carbon stock for dominant tree species in Chitwan district of central Nepal. Object based image analysis and supervised nearest neighbor classification methods were deployed f...

BACKGROUND DLBS3233 is a standardized extract combination containing Lagerstroemia speciosa and Cinnamomum burmannii. The effect of DLBS3233 on glucose uptake, adiponectin secretion, and insulin signaling was examined in this study. METHODS 3T3 Swiss albino preadipocytes and adipocytes were used to investigate gene expression detected using the reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction ...

A high throughput regeneration protocol has been developed for Lagerstroemia speciosa through node explants under the regime of various plant growth regulators (PGRs). This can provide an alternative mode to seed-grown plants and minimize cost–time regeneration, significantly. Murashige Skoog (MS) medium containing combinations PGRs exhibited a marked stimulatory effect on morphogenesis. Of tri...

The Ebony series of crepe myrtle ( Lagerstroemia indica ) cultivars includes several (Ebony Embers, Fire, Flame, Glow, and Ivory), marketed today under the Black Diamond ® brand. These are relatively new unique for their dark foliage, but with little information concerning performance in north-central Texas, especially low-input landscapes. study was conducted from 2014 to 2017 at three locatio...
