The objective of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial and antioxidant activities of two extracts (aqueous and ethanolic) and essential oil from dried sheets of Artemisia herba alba collected in southern Algeria. The extracts were prepared separately with different polarity solvents (water and ethanol). Total phenolics, flavonoids and tanins contents were evaluated. The essential oil was isolated using hydrodistillation. Two tests were established to assess the antioxidant activity (DPPH and FRAP), agar-well diffusion method was used to evaluate the antibacterial effect: Escherichia coli, Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus cereus. The yield of the aqueous extract is higher than that of the ethanolic extract. The phytochemical study revealed the presence of phenolic compounds, flavonoids and tannins. The aqueous extract contains higher amounts of total phenolics (97.17 ± 1.06 mg/g DM), flavonoids (35.61 ± 0.39 mg/g DM) and tannins (46.58 ± 0.91 mg/g DM) compared to the ethanolic extract, 28.69 ± 0.99, 10.98 ± 0.64 and 15.11 ± 0.49 mg/g DM respectively. Antioxidant activity (IC50) of aqueous, ethanolic extracts and essential oil were 2.02, 0.753 and 1.088 mg/ml, respectively. Analysis of the antibacterial activity showed that aqueous extract exhibited much higher activity that the ethanolic extract and essential oil. RP HPLC analysis of aqueous extract show the presence of certain compounds that belong to flavonoids (cathecine and apigenin) and others to phenolic acids (caffeic acid and ferulic acid). The results of this study demonstrated that the essential oil and extracts can be used as antioxidant and antimicrobial agents.

Wild grapes species are conserved, characterized and utilized at MACS-Agharkar Research Institute, Pune, in a crop improvement programme. In the present study, 20 species/ cultivars belonging to the family Vitaceae collected from different sources within India and abroad were used for making intergeneric as well as interspecific crosses. Out of 263 seeds obtained from 21 cross combinations, four hybrids were successfully grown from V. rotundifolia as one of the parents showed resistance against downy and powdery mildew. The hybrids were evaluated for eleven different fruit characters. These hybrids could be utilized as pre-breeding material in future hybridization programmes.

Medicinal plants are an inexhaustible source of secondary metabolites, namely polyphenols including flavonoids, alkaloids and terpenoids, which generate various biological activities. Keeping this in mind, we were interested in a spontaneous plant Peganum harmala L. to demonstrate the antimitotic and genotoxic effect of the alkaloid and flavonoid fractions (aqueous and butanolic) of the leaves of this species on root meristematic cells of Allium cepa L. Mitotic indices, phase indices, aberration indices as well as cytotoxicity limit values were calculated for our different samples and controls, namely the negative (distilled water) and positive controls (colchicine 1mg/ml and quercetin 1mg/ml). The results indicate a mitodepressant and sublethal effect, observed with the alkaloid and flavonoid fractions of the leaves of Peganum harmala L. Exposure of meristematic cells to the samples resulted in an antimitotic and genotoxic effect translated into a large number of chromosomal, nuclear and cellular aberrations.

Three rose apple accessions and five postharvest bagging treatments viz., Control (non-bag), unperforated low density polyethylene (LDPE) bag, perforated LDPE bag, unperforated brown paper bag, and perforated brown paper bag were evaluated for storage quality and shelf life of rose apple. Results showed that different postharvest treatments significantly influenced fruit quality and shelf life of rose apple. Changes in skin colour, weight loss, moisture, dry matter, vitamin C and pH of LDPE bagged fruits irrespective of perforation were slower than nonbagged control fruits during storage at ambient condition. The shelf life of fruit was counted until two weeks of storage. It was found that fruits stored in unperforated LDPE bag exhibited the longest shelf life (14.40 days) as compared to other treatments. The overall results expressed that rose apple quality can be maintained effectively at least six days using various bagging materials. However, it may conclude that unperforated LDPE bag could be used for extending storage life with maintaining external and internal qualities of rose apple.

Acalypha hispida is a wild flowering herbaceous plant commonly called as Red-hot cat’s tail or Monkey tail, belongs to family Euphorbiaceae. It is commonly propagated by stem cuttings, but successful propagation of Acalypha hispida by stem cutting is harder, and even the basic information on these aspects are limited. Hence, an experiment was conducted to determine the effects of stem cutting types and growing media on the successful propagation of Acalypha hispida. Four types of stem cuttings (shoot tip, soft wood, semi hardwood and hardwood) and three types of media (pure sand, pure coir dust and 1:1 mixture of sand: coir dust v:v) were used, and the experiment was laid out in Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with 3×4 factor factorial arrangement. Data was analyzed by SAS 9.1.3 software. It was observed that there was a significant (P>0.05) interaction between the cutting types and media used in all the tested parameters except survival rate. All the type of cuttings planted in sand with coir dust showed highest percentage of rooted shoots with well formed root system. Hardwood cuttings planted in pure coir dust and 1:1 ratio of sand: coir dust showed not significant virtuous root weight (0.15g, 0.16g), number of leaves (13.10, 13.43), and shoot length (3.53 cm , 3.34 cm). Cutting types showed significant (P>0.05) in survival and hardwood cuttings showed highest survival rate (80.56%) compared to others. Accordingly, it could be concluded that hardwood cutting as the best material planted in a 1:1 mixture of sand with coir dust and pure coir dust medium can be used to propagate Acalypha hispida plants successfully.

Apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) seeds during their development in the fruit, produce a sequence of different types of hormones,influencing fruit growth and quality in diverse ways.This way role of seeds can also be postulated in fruit russeting of apple. So this study was framed to identify the relationship of fruit seed content with qualitative factors like length, diameter and weight,and also russeting incidence in apple cv. ‘Golden Delicious’. Though seed content of the fruit seemed to influence significantly all the above factors, but could only explain the variability in russeting up to 29%, which indicates that there may be many more factors associated with fruit russeting of ‘Golden Delicious’ apple. The study indicated that weight, length and fruit diameter were relatively strongly related to the seed content explaining the variability of 43%, 45% and 46% respectively. Moreover, russeting also influenced negatively the fruit size factors in association with seed number.

The study indicated that weight, length and fruit diameter were relatively strongly related to the seed content explaining the variability of 43%, 45% and 46% respectively. Moreover, russeting also influenced negatively the fruit size factors in association with seed number.","PeriodicalId":184698,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Minor Fruits, Medicinal and Aromatic Plants","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122467032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
