The plants selected were Emblica officinalis Gaertn. (fruit-Euphorbiaceae), Glycyrrhiza glabra Linn. (rhizome-Papilionaceae), Eclipta alba (L.) Hassk. (whole plant-Compositae), Tinospora cordifolia (Willd.) Micrs (stem-Meninspermaceae), Asparagus racemosus Willd. (root-Liliaceae) and Centella asiatica (L.) Urb. (whole plant, Apiaceae). The solvents used were petroleum ether, chloroform, methanol and water. The antibacterial screening was conducted by agar-well diffusion method against nine bacterial strains. The most active extracts were compared by Minimum Inhibition Concentration (MIC) and their chemical constituents were separated through High Performance Thin Layer Chromatography (HPTLC). The separated plant metabolites on HPTLC plate were again evaluated for antibacterial property through bioautography. The results obtained indicated that the...

Br., belonging to family Scrophulariaceae, is a small erect perennial herb. This species was collected by some botanists on a few occasions in arid parts of Kachchh and Saurashtra of Gujarat. It has been entered into the list of threatened plants prepared by World Conservation Monitoring Center (WCMC, 1994). Existing literature revealed that the plant has been a well known drug for malaria fever. During recent explorations conducted in the Little Rann of Kachchh, a few scattered populations of this rare species were noticed. The present paper attempts to compare the earlier reported localities with the present status and offers observation on habit, habitat and morphology of the taxon.

In present research the biocontrol effect of P. fluorescence, P. aeruginosa and B. subtilis were evaluated on the seedling growth of Cotton (Gossypium arboretum L.), Castor (Ricinus communis L.), Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) and Mung bean (Vigna radiate (L.) R. Wilczek) challenged by plant pathogenic fungus viz. Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus niger and Alteneria alternate. The antagonist activity of all three bacteria against pathogenic fungus was evaluated in in vitro condition on solidified medium. The most active fungus inhibitor was P. aeruginosa, than P. fluorescence and least was B. subtilis. In plant inoculation study, the seeds were treated with pathogenic fungus as well as P. fluorescence, P. aeruginosa and B. subtilis respectively. The shoot and root length were measured as growth parameters after tenth day of the g...

This cereal is known for gluten free high micro-nutritional content especially calcium and iron along with anti-oxidant, anti-aging and anti-cancer properties. Finger millet is naturally salinity tolerant and resistant to water-logging, bacterial and fungal pathogens, and can sustain growth in variety of adverse environments. Such significant traits will indicate the presence of potential genes, which can be exploited for crop improvement. Current study an effort is made to systemitacily collect gene, proteins and literature of finger millet and creat an integrative and relational searchable database, RagiBase. We have curated 607 nucleotide, 218 protein and 1,927 ESTs sequences from the reported references. It is categorise according to the gene ontology terms. The database covers gene sequences for photosynthesis, defenses, stress tolerance, DNA replication, c...
