High soil salinity is a major environmental stress in the world’s cultivated land that limits plant growth, metabolism and productivity of crop plants. Anthocyanins are water soluble pigments found in all plant tissues throughout the plant kingdom, derived from flavonoids via the shikimic acid pathway and are known to be inducible under stress. Anthocyanin can act as antioxidant by donating hydrogen to highly reactive radicals, thereby preventing further radical formation. The objective of this study was to determine effect of salinity on total anthocyanin content of five native rice cultivars collected from a traditional saline rice tract and two collected from a traditional non-saline rice tract of Kerala State of India. All the cultivars showed proportionate and significant increase in anthocyanin accumulation in relation to increase in salt stress. The variation was cultivar specific showing their differential response to stress.

Leaf epidermal studies, pollen and seed morphology of two species of Rauvolfia i.e. R. serpentina and R. tetraphylla were studied using compound and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) to facilitate the correct identification and authentication of these significant crude drugs and also as an aid to plant systematics. The microscopic and SEM studies of these species showed significant differences in the morphology of the analyzed parts.

Lannea coromandelica (Houtt.) Merr. is a fast growing, large size deciduous tree which is widely used for Jhingan gum extraction, timber, ornamental and medicinal purpose. The better understanding of phenology will help us to efficient utilization of these trees in urban landscapes and agroforestry systems. The present investigation revealed that L. coromandelica was starts flowering from Mid-January to March. It has a mean of 26 flowers per inflorescence with 0.54 % fruit set and 0.80% seed set around.The fruits attain harvest maturity at 18th week after anthesis with a distinctive colour change from light red to darker red colour. Seeds are orthodox in nature and have maximum of 52.67% germination.

Glochidion tomentosum (Euphorbiaceae) is an endangered medicinal tree endemic to Peninsular India region. The present study aimed to assess the extent of damage caused by seed predator insect larvae and seed germination in Glochidion tomentosum. Different type of soils like Garden soil, Forest soil and Sandy soil were used for germination studies and also seedling survival and mean germination time were determined. Maximum germination percentage 56 % and seedling survival 87% was recorded in garden soil. Mean germination time was also varied among the different type of soil. Seedlings were successfully grown in botanical garden. This germination procedure would help for establishment of seedlings for considering ex situ conservation of Glochidion tomentosum.

World over there is an immense demand for Traditional Medicine, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, natural products. The rampantly growing industry and interests of consumers have resulted in excessive demand of the botanical materials for manufacturing products. The major challenges herbal industries are facing relates to quality assurance, use of authenticated raw materials, conforming to the regulations, sourcing of botanicals, processing protocols and more. To meet the ever increasing demand, supply chain inturn bargains on the quality material which has a cascading effect on the quality of Traditional formulations. In the process, during shortfall, it is observed that alternatives/ substitutes and context based aberrations areidentified and supplied to fulfilthe demand. This has obviously affected the Quality Assurance of the traditional formulations and the credibility. The article is a revelation of a market study in southern India related to botanical trade w.r.t to the making of different commodities at regional levels. Here attempts to define the various commodities based on biological and non-biological factors is undertaken and examples shared.

The Sacred Groves of the Indian Himalayan Region have not been explored for the ecosystem services provided by them. Therefore, present attempt has been made to assess the economically important floristic diversity of Kamrunag Sacred Grove. A total of 249 species of economical importance belonging to 74 families and 168 genera were recorded. Of these 165 species were, used as medicine and 37 species used as edible; fodder (23 spp.); fuel (11spp.); timber (06 spp.); religious (03spp.); Dye and miscellaneous (4 spp.). Different parts of the plants were utilized, of which Whole plant was used in majority of cases. Maximum number of native (134), non-native (115) and near endemic (68) species were found at an altitudinal range of 1800-2800m. Four species (i.e., Pimpinella acuminata, Goldfussia dalhousiana, Angelica glauca and Wikstroemia canescens) were found endemic to the Indian Himalayan Region. Management options for the conservation and sustainable utilization of the species have been suggested.

Current study deals with the use of wild hemp by the native communities of Manikaran valley, district Kullu of Himachal Pradesh in the North Western Himalaya. Data was collected during 2015 to 2017 through various field visits, questionnaire surveys, interviews with the locals and herb practitioners in the valley. Traditionally, the communities have being using the herb as medicine for treating various ailments like, arthritis, abnormal menstrual disorder, wounds, sores, joint pain, sting pain and recorded their usage pattern. Hemp plant fibers are used for making ropes, pullan, etc. Its seeds are also used for flavoring traditional foods like Siddu/Aaksalu. Further research is needed to explore and harness the many other benefits of the herb.
