Hyperspectral remote sensing is an effective tool to discriminate plant species, providing vast potential to trace plant invasions for ecological assessments. However, necessary baseline information for the use of remote sensing data is missing for many high-impact invaders. Furthermore, the identification of the suitable classification algorithms and spectral regions for successfully classifyi...

The inhibitory effect of active fractions of Eurycoma longifolia (E. longifolia) root, namely TAF355 and TAF401, were evaluated against Toxoplasma gondii (T. gondii). In our previous study, we demonstrated that T. gondii was susceptible to TAF355 and TAF401 with IC₅₀ values of 1.125 µg/mL and 1.375 µg/mL, respectively. Transmission (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations were ...

Introduction: Polyalthia longifolia Thwaites (PL) is an ornamentally important flowering tree with immense potential. Identification of phytochemical constituents from plant extracts is need of hour in developing countries like India. These elucidated constituents may play a pivotal role in providing remedies to plethora of diseases whether major or minor. Proper application of analytical techn...

The antifungal effect of 10 plant extracts viz., Thevetia peruviana, Ocimum basilicum, Piper betel, Murraya koenigii, Chrysanthemum coronarium, Polyalthia longifolia, Catharanthus roseus, Pelargonium graveolens, Moringa officinalis and Lawsonia inermis were evaluated by poisoned food technique against Rhizoctonia solani Kuhn, the causal organism of sore shin disease of tobacco. Among all the pl...

Antioxidants play an important role in inhibiting and scavenging free radicals, thus providing protection to human against infections and degenerative diseases. Current research is directed towards natural antioxidants originated from plants due to safe therapeutics. Asteracantha longifolia (Family-Acanthaceae), commonly known as ‘Hygrophila’ being used as folklore medicine. Plant has been repo...

An analytical method based on high-performance liquid chromatography-photodiode array detection was developed for the simultaneous determination of three anti-proliferative withanolides [withalongolide A ( 1: ), withaferin A ( 2: ) and withalongolide B ( 3: )] present in the aboveground biomass of the long-leaf groundcherry, Physalis longifolia. This method was achieved by biomass extraction fo...

Dart, P. J. (University of Sydney, Sydney, Australia), and F. V. Mercer. Fine structure of bacteroids in root nodules of Vigna sinensis, Acacia longifolia, Viminaria juncea, and Lupinus angustifolius. J. Bacteriol. 91:1314-1319.-In nodules of Vigna sinensis, Acacia longifolia, and Viminaria juncea, membrane envelopes enclose groups of bacteroids. The bacteroids often contain inclusion granules ...

The aim of the study was to analyze the phytochemical constituents of two potential folklore medicinal plants such as Asteracantha longifolia and Pergularia daemia. Methanol and Aqueous extract of the dried leaves of these plants were collected and used for phytochemical analysis. The selected plants were found to contain alkaloids, phenolic compounds, tannins and flavonoids except for the abse...
