Gum ghatti (GG) is a natural polysaccharide produced from ghatti tree (Anogeissus latifolia). Chemically, the gum is composed of several mono-sugars and uronic acids in the form of calcium and magnesium salts. GG contains soluble and insoluble fractions, which form a thick colloidal solution in water. GG is non-toxic, bio-degradable, and biocompatible to the human digestive system. It finds applications as an emulsifier, stabilizer, binder, thickener, moisture retainer, film-forming agent and a raw material for hydrogel synthesis. The gradual change in the human mindset has increased demand for natural gums like GG to overcome the adverse effects of synthetic additives. As ghatti trees are found in the forest or non-agricultural lands, its gum collection and sales provide an alternate source of sustainable livelihood to the economically backward and resource-constrained population inhabiting forest and sub-forest areas. This review is a unique article covering the literature on production aspects like tree description, importance, GG tapping, production, processing, and marketing. The review of such an important natural product will be useful for researchers, stakeholders, policymakers, and others working in natural resins and gums sector.

The polyester resin has been synthesized using maleic anhydride, phthalic anhydride and propylene glycol. Synthesized resin, styrene and jute fibre along with a catalyst were used for the composite preparation. The mechanical and thermal properties of composites were evaluated. The obtained composites were characterized by TGA (Thermal Gravimetric Analysis) and DTA (Differential Thermal Analysis).

A seed germination trial was conducted to study the germination behaviour of Rubus ellipticus seeds collected from different sources in Himachal Pradesh. Significant differences were observed in the germination per cent of seeds collected from different sources. The maximum germination of 84.00% was recorded in seeds collected from the Darlaghat source whereas the minimum germination of 59.00% was recorded in seeds collected from Bharan in Shimla district of Himachal Pradesh. The seeds collected from Shoghi recorded the highest moisture content of 6.46% whereas the minimum moisture content of 5.39% was recorded from seeds collected from Joharji in the Solan district. The maximum seed weight of 0.07 g (100 seeds) was recorded in seeds collected from Joharji, whereas, the minimum seed weight of 0.05 g was recorded in seeds collected from Beolia in the Shimla district of Himachal Pradesh. It is recommended on the basis of the present investigation that seeds of R. ellipticus be collected from the Darlaghat seed source in Solan district for the raising of seedlings in the nursery owing to better germination.

The Great Himalayan National Park Conservation Area (GHNPCA) is home to several endangered species of plants. The present ethno-medicinal study was carried out in 13 villages of the eco-zone of the GHNPCA and information was gathered through a semi-structured questionnaire survey and interviews of medicinal plant knowledge holders/traditional Vaidyas. A total of 152 medicinal plant species belonging to 62 families and 125 genera were recorded to be used by local inhabitants. List of plants along with uses and other details is provided in the table. The maximum number of plant species (63 spp.) are used to treat gastrointestinal disorders, followed by dermatological problems (59 spp.) and cold and cough (23 spp.). Public awareness/sensitization, education, in-situ & ex-situ conservation efforts and bioprospecting of medicinal plants for new drug development are urgently required for the conservation and sustainable management of medicinal plants resources of GHNPCA.

Albizia lebbeck is an astringent, used to treat boils, cough, eye flu, gingivitis, lung problems, pectoral problems, as a tonic and to treat abdominal tumors. The main parts used for medicinal purposes are Leaves, Bark, Flowers and Seeds/Pods. But out of these, bark is commercially used in treating many diseases/ailments. To utilize plant parts in pharmacological, anti-microbial and clinical research, it is therefore necessary to identify the active principles (phyto-constituents) and also their possible side effects to enhance product quality. In view of the commercial importance of the tree, an effort has been made to standardize harvesting practices of its bark. The proposed harvesting practices of bark of A. lebbeck may play an important role in maintaining health of tree besides easy extraction of bark.

Antibiotics have made formidable benefactions to human civilization and found extensive usage in infectious disease treatment. However, indiscriminate and overuse of antibiotics have evolved resistant bacterial strains, which is a cause of concern to healthcare set-ups all around the world. This situation has necessitated the need of introducing new antimicrobials or combination therapies. The slow development of novel synthetic antibiotics has diverted the research towards naturally occurring antimicrobial molecules. Plant secondary metabolites, being diverse and distributed across different habitats, provide fair chances for the exploration and discovery of novel antimicrobials, mainly due to the huge reservoir of phytochemicals produced like alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins and phenolic compounds. The North-Western Himalaya fosters great diversity of medicinal plants, which present a lucrative bioresource available to be explored for the development of novel antimicrobials or potentiating molecules in combination therapies. This review presents an overview of plant-based antimicrobials reported in recent years, along with their targets and mode of action and provides an appraisal of medicinal plant resource of Pir Panjal Himalayan region, along with their reported antimicrobial phytochemicals, which provides excellent opportunity for further exploration and discovery of novel antimicrobials.
