Traditionally, people use roots of R. turkestanicum as an anti-diabetic and anti-hypertensive as well as anticancer agent. In this study the cytotoxicity and apoptogenic properties of ethyl acetate (EtOAc), n-hexane and H2O extracts from Rheum turkestanicum Janischew. (Polygonaceae) ro...

The formation of the Mekong-Salween Divide and climatic oscillations in Pleistocene were the main drivers for the contemporary diversity and genetic structure of plants in the Himalaya-Hengduan Mountains (HHM). To identify the relative roles of the two historical events in shaping population history of plants in HHM, we investigated the phylogeographic pattern of Oxyria sinensis, a perennial pl...

Rumex vesicarius L .commonly known as” Bladder dock or Chukkakura” is a renowned medicinal plant, which belongs to the family polygonaceae.It posses anti inflammatory, antimicrobial, analgesic, antiviral, antioxidant, cordial and stomachache properties. An attempt has been made to study clonal propagation of this important medicinal plant from nodal segments as explants. These explants were ino...

difficult. For this reason, the two means of the single experiments have been taken together and two new means calculated and their difference tested for significance both by the 't' and the 'Z' tests. For variance due to treatment 'Z = 1-426 (theoretical '2T for nx = 1 and n^ = 11 is = 1-133, P = o-oi); 'Z' for variance due to different days or occasion = 0-89641 (theoretical 'Z' for i\ = 11 a...
