Nasik is one of the districts in Maharashtra endowed with enormous diversity of cryptogamic and phanerogamic flora. The present paper deals with the addition of 1 new plant species of angiospermic taxa to the flora of this district. During the field survey of Nasik District, the authors collected the plant from the different locations of the study region, which were not reported so far in the florists documentation of the district. This plant species has very small population range and occupancy. The plant specimens were collected, identified with the reference of different floras and recent literature for their authentication. The study provides a detailed taxonomic description, photographs and relevant information based on fresh collections of specimen.

The present study was carried out to check out the effect of guava leaves extract on hyperlipidemia. Guava leaves were taken from different orchards of Faisalabad after this mineral and proximate analysis were performed. Three varieties of guava were taken and extract of these three varieties were prepared with different solvents. Among these extracts one of the best variety extract was given to the rats for a period of 30 days. Blood samples were taken at the start, middle and at the end of the study to analysis the level of cholesterol. The maximum effect on the value of glutathione in hypercholestrolemic rats was seen with pink guava leaves extract in S5 the value of glutathione at 0 day was 41.59 ± 1.73 and it increased up to 44.55 ± 2.94 at 30 th day. The maximum effect on the value of TBARS in hypercholestrolemic rats was seen with pink guava leaves extract in S5 the value of TBARS at 0 day was 5.58 ± 0.52 and it increased to 6.31 ± 0.87 at 30 th day. The maximum effect on the value of urea in hypercholestrolemic rats was seen with pink guava leaves extract in S5 the value of urea at 0 day was 26.45 ± 1.74 and it decreased to 25.54 ± 0.79 at 30 th day. Maximum effective results were seen with the ethanolic extract of pink guava leaves the values at 0 day was 0.06 ± 0.02 while it decreased to 0.14 ± 0.03 at 30 th day.

In the present study, DNA Barcoding was made for the endangered plants Ceropegia odorata Nimmo ex J. Graham and Ceropegia hirsuta Wight & Arn. DNA barcoding is used to authenticate their reliable identification, conservation, discrimination, similarities and evolutionary trend among them and with their related taxa for future use. Two species, viz., Ceropegia odorata Nimmo ex J. Graham and Ceropegia hirsuta Wight & Arn are reported from Gujarat Dediyapada. The identification of both the species depends on the knowledge which held by taxonomists. Non-specialist cannot cover all the knowledge of the species. To handle with these difficulties’ DNA Barcoding aims to develop a standardized, rapid, and inexpensive species identification method approachable to non- specialists and will become easy for taxonomist. DNA isolation from leaf samples of present study species was carried out by applying a modified CTAB method and good isolation was just for the species considered. Gradient PCR amplification was performed for the isolated DNA using rbcL gene and the primers rbcLF and rbcLR were used. The amplification success rate was 90-95%. PCR amplification was tested with 1 % agarose gel electrophoresis using ethidium bromide and the products were confirmed. The PCR products were further processed for DNA sequencing and sequences were good for the species with the success rate of 95 %. Pairwise sequence alignments were made with BLAST and multiple sequence alignments are made with ClustalW, and Neighbor joining method to study the phylogenetic aspects of the species studied and with their related taxa this study was to apply to support conservation efforts of Ceropegia Species in Gujarat and all over India. We used to recommend rbcL marker for both the sample. We specifically tested whether the markers could be used to solve taxonomic confusion concerning the Ceropegia species. This Barcoding system will be utilized specifically to identify and create phylogeny among the selected endangered species.
本研究对濒危植物Ceropegia odorata Nimmo ex J. Graham和Ceropegia hirsuta Wight & Arn进行了DNA条形码分析。利用DNA条形码技术对其进行可靠的鉴定、保存、鉴别、类群间的相似性和进化趋势等，为今后的研究提供依据。在古吉拉特邦Dediyapada报道了两种，即Ceropegia odorata Nimmo ex J. Graham和Ceropegia hirsuta wright & Arn。这两个物种的鉴定取决于分类学家所掌握的知识。非专业人士无法涵盖该物种的所有知识。为了解决这些问题，DNA条形码技术旨在开发一种标准化、快速、廉价的物种鉴定方法，使非专业人员也能方便地使用。采用改良的CTAB法从本研究物种的叶片样品中进行DNA分离，仅对所考虑的物种进行了良好的分离。用rbcL基因对分离的DNA进行梯度PCR扩增，引物分别为rbcLF和rbcLR。扩增成功率为90-95%。用1%琼脂糖凝胶电泳对产物进行扩增。对PCR产物进行进一步的DNA测序，测序结果符合该物种的DNA序列，成功率为95%。利用BLAST进行两两序列比对，利用ClustalW和Neighbor joining法进行多序列比对，对所研究物种及其相关分类群进行系统发育方面的研究，为古吉拉特邦和全印度的Ceropegia保护工作提供支持。对于这两种样品，我们都推荐使用rbcL标记。我们专门测试了这些标记是否可以用来解决有关Ceropegia物种的分类混淆。该条形码系统将专门用于识别和创建所选濒危物种之间的系统发育。

A field experiment to standardize the levels of pruning and growth regulator application in guava (Psidium guajava L.) cv. Lucknow-49 was undertaken at Horticultural College and Research Institute, Periyakulam during 2016-2017. The experiment consists of seven different levels of pruning and growth regulator application and the treatments were imposed on two years old trees. The result of the experiment revealed that, the treatment T5 (Light pruning + Paclobutrazol application) recorded the highest mean fruit weight, fruit length, fruit circumference, fruit pulp weight. Major objective of canopy management in guava cv. Lucknow -49 under high density planting system is to maximize the yield and maintaining the optimum canopy without overlapping. In a nutshell, taking into consideration of the performance of various pruning and chemical treatments, particularly yield and yield components, the treatment followed by T3 (Moderate pruning + Paclobutrazol application) in guava cv. Lucknow – 49 under high density planting system.
