Rhizomes of Canna indica Linn. has its own great important medicinal value, so thenutritive value of the rhizome is determined. Rhizome of Canna indicais found rich in carbohydrate and have enough crude fiber (67.99 and 12.50% respectively) ; nutritive value being 319.15 Cal /100 g.Rhizome is rich in Potassium (24405 ppm) and sufficient in sodium, calcium and magnesium (7500, 1345 and 1610 ppmr...

The bucket reactors based wetland system were adopted for the treatment of pulp and paper mill wastewater using two macrophytes namely Typha angustifolia and Canna indica. The study was carried out for the treatment of wastewater collected from primary clarifier overflow (E1) and wastewater after the partial aerobic treatment of primary clarifier overflow (E2). Effectiveness of the two macrophy...

A novel 10 kDa protein with anti-HIV-1 reverse transcriptase (RT) inhibitory activity was isolated from leaves of Canna indica L. using a combination of native-PAGE and ammonium sulfate precipitation. HIV-1 and RT inhibitory activity was measured using a syncytium forming (deltaTat/Rev) MC99 virus in Tat/Rev transfected 1A2 cell line and ELISA technique, respectively. Edman N-terminal and inter...

miRNAs are endogenous small RNA (sRNA) that play critical roles in plant development processes. Canna is an ornamental plant belonging to family Cannaceae. Here, we report for the first time the identification and differential expression of miRNAs in two contrasting flower color cultivars of Canna, Tropical sunrise and Red president. A total of 313 known miRNAs belonging to 78 miRNA families we...

In this paper, clear liquid fermentation condition for ethanol production from Canna edulis Kerl with orthogonal design was studied. We have studied five factors that influenced clear liquid fermentation condition for ethanol production from Canna edulis Kerl by the single-factor test. The five factors were α-amylase amount, glucoamylase amount, pH, nitrogen and auxiliary materials amount. Sele...

This study evaluates the performance of horizontal subsurface flow constructed wetland (HSSF-CW) for the removal of chlorinated resin and fatty acids (RFAs) from pulp and paper mill wastewater. The dimensions of the treatment system were 3.5 m x 1.5 m x 0.28 m with surface area of 5.25 m, filled with fine sand and gravel. The cell was planted with an ornamental plant species Canna indica. The r...
