This study, focused on the use of plants in folk healing practices and its economic uses, was conducted in isolated areas of Pambujan, Northern Samar, particularly Barangays Don Sixto Balanquit, Sr., Inanahawan, Senonogan, Igot, and Cagbigajo during the months of July to September, 2021. Environmental conditions such as habitat type, vegetation, air temperature, soil temperature, soil pH, and elevation were also gathered. Purposive sampling was done, together with the collection of specimens for herbarium preparation, and gathering data on the environmental factors. Interviews with respondents were done to know the local names and economic uses of each specimen. Sixty-seven (67) species of medicinal plants were found to be present and collected in the study area. In Barangay Don Sixto Balanquit, Sr., all 67 representative species were collected, while 48 species were collected in Barangay Inanahawan, 26 species in Barangay Igot, 59 species in Barangay Cagbigajo, and 32 representative species were collected in Barangay Senonogan. These results imply that there is a diversity of plant species utilized for folk medicine in the study area. Economically, plants in the study area were utilized mainly for human consumption as food, furniture, building and construction, livestock feed, forage, and for medicinal purposes. Observation and measurements made on the environmental conditions in the study area show that they are optimal for the growth of these economically important plants. On the basis of this research it was concluded that the conservation of these plant resources alongside the encouragement of indigenous folk healing practices for the benefit of the residents in isolated areas of Pambujan, Northern Samar.

Chrysochlamys membranacea Planch. & Triana is a species described as a pistillate specimen collected between Nariño and Cauca departments, in the locality of biogeographic Chocó, Colombia. In that publication the authors also provide a description of staminate flowers, however, there is no clarity about the collection related to it. During studies on the Clusiaceae family in Colombia, it was shown that C. membranacea is one of the species for which clarity about its sexual dimorphism is lacking and that, additionally, the citation of collections and localities has also generated taxonomic and nomenclatural uncertainty. In this work the knowledge about the identity of C. membranacea is revalued, its morphology is extensively described, emphasizing the fruits and staminate flowers, and the lectotype for this species is proposed. Finally, some notes are provided on its geographic distribution, phenology, taxonomic affinities, sexual dimorphism, and threat category according to the categories and criteria of the IUCN.

Due to limited information on Phyllocnistis citrella’s Biology, study was aimed to examine the effects of different temperature levels on biology of citrus leaf miner under controlled laboratory conditions at the Entomology laboratory of Sokoine University of Agriculture (SUA), Tanzania from December 2011 to September 2012. Leaf samples (1,985 leaf samples) considered to contain larvae in serpentine mines were collected and individually incubated at room temperature. The emerging adults were wet preserved in 70% ethanol while some dry preserved using special micro pins under microscope for future identification. A Monterey LG8920 pheromone trap was set in every 10m2 at SUA citrus orchard to trap adult moths to supplement sample sources. Citrus leaf miners species collected were identified and four different temperature levels (20, 25, 30 and 35°C) were monitored at each developmental stage. Results revealed longer development time (egg to adult) at 200C and shorter at 300C in 28 and 10 days while the total mortality was 26.67% at 200C and 6.67% at 300C respectively. Oviposition period and rate were negatively and positively influenced by temperature (from 9.26 days at 200C to 6.21 days at 300C and 15.2 eggs/ female/ day at 300C and 6.8 eggs/ female/ day at 200C respectively). The overall fecundity was 28.2 eggs/ female at 200C and 57.1 eggs/ female at 300C. High larval mortality rate was recorded compared to the egg stage while no mortality observed at pupa stage. Conclusively, the pest on this temperature range (200C, minimum to 300C, maximum) has high fecundity, low mortality rate and the developmental time was positively correlated with high temperature, therefore considered optimum temperature range for its survival and development. Other researches especially Integrated Pest management are imperative for sound management package as per the pest in Tanzania and beyond.

Objective: Investigated the hypolipidemic effect of alcoholic extract of Moringa oleifera seeds using the zebrafish hyperlipidemia model. Methods: Using 0.3% egg yolk solution to feed zebrafish larval to construct the hyperlipidemia model. These larval fish in the model were treated with an extract of Moringa oleifera seeds for 2 days. Then, the tail vessels were observed after oil red O staining, and the accumulated optical density of lipids was analyzed. The body length, triglyceride (TG), and cholesterol (TC) levels were measured. Result: The accumulated optical density of lipids in the tail vessels of larval fish fed with 0.3% egg yolk was significantly higher than that of the blank group. The contents of TG and TC were also increased, indicating that the hyperlipidemia model was successfully established. After treatment with different concentrations of Moringa oleifera seed extract (10 μg/ml, 15 μg/ml, and 20 μg/ml), the staining attachment surface of vascular oil red O in the tail of hyperlipidemic zebrafish was significantly reduced by 42.8%, 63.3%, and 80.6% respectively. TG was reduced by 9.89%, 20.41%, and 26.40%. TC was reduced by 9.85%, 23.93%, and 33.80%. The data of each group were statistically significant (P<0.01). Conclusion: Moringa seeds had a significant hypolipidemic effect on zebrafish and had no significant effect on the skeletal growth length of zebrafish.

Aims: Promote Annona muricata (Graviola) and provide information on its phytochemistry and bioactivity. Study Design: Multidisciplinary advanced bibliographic surveys, utilization of ChemBioDraw software package, and dissemination of the resulted knowledge. Place and Duration of Study: UR73, Development in Pedagogy and Health, Interdisciplinary Research Center of the National Pedagogical University, National Pedagogical University, Kinshasa, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, between June 2021 and July 2022. Methodology: A bibliographic review was carried out to acquire information on the pharmacognosy and phytochemistry of A. muricata from various electronic databases (PubMed, PubMed Central, Science Direct and Google Scholar). The terms phytochemistry, pharmacognosy and the scientific name of this plant species were used as keywords for the search. The ChemBioDraw Ultra 15.0 software package was used to draw the chemical structures of natural compounds of A. muricata. Results: From the results obtained, it should be noted that A. muricata is traditionally used as an analgesic or stimulant. Various studies inform that this plant has various pharmacological properties such as anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, antihyperglycemic, antioxidant, antihelminthic, cytotoxic, antipyretic, analgesic, healing and anti-sickling effects. Many natural phytochemicals like tannins, alkaloids, phenols, glycosides, flavonoids and steroids are responsible for its properties. Conclusion: This review therefore helps to inform future research on the design and development of new relevant drugs from A. muricata to improve human health and well-being. Especially drug candidates for the treatment of cancer and tuberculosis.

The increase in food production has been a major concern to developing countries. Due to the high demand for certain crops especially vegetables, farmers resort to the use of wastewater to cultivate these crops during the dry season. This research work aimed to investigate the effects of industrial coconut oil effluent (ICE) on the germination, growth and yield of Talinum fruticosum (water leaf). The physicochemical composition of the effluent was determined using standard analytical methods. Germination and vegetative growth (the plant height, number of leaves, leaf area and fresh weight) were studied on T. fruticosum. The plants were subjected to irrigation with 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, 100% and 0% (control) concentrations of ICE. The experiment on the vegetative growth studies was carried out in a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The data were collected every two weeks, subjected to Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and means were compared by using Duncan’s new multiple range test (DNMRT) at P < 0.05. The results of physicochemical analysis of ICE showed that most parameters were above FEPA standard limits except lead. Results from germination and vegetative studies revealed that mean values from treatment 0% (control) were significantly higher at P<0.05 and that the germination of seeds and seedling growth gradually declined as the concentration of effluent increased. Therefore, adequate dilution of the effluent is required before disposal and reuse of ICE for irrigation purposes.
粮食产量的增加一直是发展中国家关注的主要问题。由于对某些作物，特别是蔬菜的高需求，农民在旱季利用废水来种植这些作物。本研究旨在探讨工业椰子油废水对水叶Talinum fruticosum (water leaf)萌发、生长和产量的影响。采用标准分析方法测定了废水的理化成分。研究了水果花的萌发和营养生长(株高、叶数、叶面积和鲜重)。分别以20%、40%、60%、80%、100%和0%(对照)浓度的ICE进行灌溉。营养生长试验采用完全随机设计(CRD)。每两周收集一次数据，进行方差分析(ANOVA)，采用Duncan 's new multiple range test (DNMRT)比较均数，P < 0.05。ICE的理化分析结果表明，除铅外，其余参数均超过FEPA标准限值。萌发和营养研究结果表明，处理0%(对照)的平均值显著高于对照组(P<0.05)，且随着出水浓度的增加，种子萌发和幼苗生长逐渐下降。因此，在处置和再利用冰作灌溉用途之前，必须充分稀释废水。
