A large number of minor and wild fruit species have originated in Indian subcontinent. Many of these fruits or their plants parts have been used in folk, Ayurvedic and Unani medicines since time immemorial. Several fruits were introduced in India during colonial period. Most of them adapted to climatic conditions of India but remains minor crops .These fruits also have several medicinal properties and were used by the native people of their respective origin of centres. Some the fruits such as bael, aonla, jamun, tamarind, karonda, wood apple, kokum etc were known for their use in Indian pharmacopeia. The exotic fruits such as sour sop, rambutan, mangosteen, avocado, water apple, durian, passion fruit, carambola etc. have been reported for their different medicinal importance. These fruits contain several chemical ingredients such flavonoids, quinolizidine, alkaloids, tritepenes, stilbenes, tannins, steroids, coumarin, saponins, triterpenoids, glycosides, taraxerone, cryptoxanthin, taraxerol, etc. These exhibited varied biological effects like anti-inflammatory, analgesic, ant diabetic, antipyretic, antioxidant, hypoglycaemic, hepatoprotective, anticancerous. In recent years the global focus is shifting towards the plant based medicines and there is lot of research is being done on these fruits. Thus an attempt has been made in this article to compile the information available in the minor fruits.

Ethno-medicines are being practiced by the local herbal healers known as Pahans, Horopaths, Manjhis, Nayakis and Vidyas of Dumka district in the state Jharkhand, India. These medicinal practitioners are treating number of diseases and disorders including the skin problems using available ethno-medicines of the surrounding forest and hilly areas of the region. The main objective of this paper is to explore and enumerate these highly significant 55 ethno-medicinal plant species used by these people in skin treatment, along with their local names, families, parts used and ethno-medicinal uses. These ethno-medicines may further provide future scope to nutrition, escort biomolecules for the development of new drugs, further experimentations, explorations and researches for various economic aspects, profiting our society.

Minor fruits (MFs), a good source of micronutrients, can contribute significantly to the nutritional requirement of the rural population and be an alternative source to combat hidden hunger caused by micronutrient deficiencies mainly vitamins and minerals. A detailed survey was conducted to update the checklist of the MF collections at Botanical Garden under the Department of Crop Botany, Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAUBG) and their conservation priority in national/international perspectives. A total of 108 MF species, belong to 67 genera and 38 families, were collected and conserved at the BAUBG. Moraceae and Myrtaceae were the most dominant families with 8 taxa each followed by Rutaceae with 7 taxa, Arecaceae, Phyllanthaceae and Sapotaceae with 6 taxa each. Among the genera, Syzygium is the largest genus having 7 species followed by Citrus, Ficus and Garcinia with 5 species in each. Trees make up the largest proportion of MFs followed by shrubs, herbs and climbers. Although MFs are major sources of micronutrients, 97 taxa were also used in the treatment of various diseases in ethnobotanical literature. This study also contributes to the conservation database of plant genetic resources of BAUBG and the country as well.

Considering the importance of wood apple fruit, physico-chemical properties of twelve selected local genotypes have been studied. Within various fruit physical characters such as its shape, size, fruit weight, pulp weight, rind weight and rind thickness, the Genotype 11 and Genotype 4 had found to have maximum values. Fruits were found of the shape of flattened round, round, and oblong. Fruit length and diameter ranged from 7.9cm to 10.7cm and 7.1cm to 9.8cm, respectively. Fruit weight has been ranged from 97.4g to 225.7g, while pulp weight ranged from 50.7g to 117.5g. Average seed weight varied from 6.5g to 37.9g counting 56 to 531.6 numbers of seeds. Though variation in rind thickness was lesser, however, rind weight exhibited from 53.45g to 78.40g. With respect to quality of the fruits, maximum TSS was recorded in Genotype 4 (22.08oBrix) and minimum in Genotype 10 (11.16oBrix). Highest total sugar was noticed in Genotype 9 (2.83%) and reducing sugar was maximum in Genotype 6 (1.73%). Fruits of different genotypes exhibited acidity ranging from 0.70 to 2.33% while ascorbic acid 7.45 to 24.98 mg/ 100g. From the above results it can be concluded that Genotype 4, 6, 11 were very promising in terms of better size, where as Genotype 1 and 6 were very encouraging for fruit quality characters.
