For normal cell functioning generation of ATP is very important, and it is produced by mitochondria, and they also an important organelle. When sometimes mitochondrial dysfunction occur produces high energy will be demanded, and it is critical for cells such as signal transmission between neuronal cells and also affects cardiomyocytes. Mitochondria and their role to act as power house of the cell and through reactive oxygen species they transmit signaling between molecule and also determination of cellular fate. But sometimes the reactive oxygen species generated more that time, for maintaining normal homeostatic mitochondrial function rapid activation of antioxidant defense system that is required by mitochondrial electron transport. But that time antioxidant defense system is not responded properly or absent that cause mitochondrial dysfunction is occurred at that time they produce degenerative diseases in human beings that is nervous system, and they significantly contribute to produce a cardiac pathology because mitochondria are more abundant in cardiac tissues due to mitochondrial dysfunction, and also they are involved in lung related diseases that is asbestos, lung cancer, chronic airway disease and lung fibrosis. When compared to nuclear DNA the mitochondrial DNA is more sensitive to oxidants because they encode the mitochondrial proteins. When damages to mitochondrial DNA, that case impairment occurs in electron transport chain and potential loss in mitochondrial membrane. In this review I concluded that by, oxidative stress induced mitochondrial dysfunction produced lung related heart related and neurological related disease and their one of the way of prevention is by antioxidant induced mitochondrial biogenesis.

Rice is the primary source of energy for the international population. In any crop breeding programme, the presence of genetic variability is vital for broadening the gene pool. An excessive magnitude of variability in the population is required for selecting a genotype with excessively applicable traits. The heritability estimates along with the amount of genetic variability provide us with an idea of genetic gain due to choose. Specific direct developments (number of panicles/plants, filled grains/plant, and test weight) and indirect tendencies (tiller number/plant, plant peak) determine the yield component of rice. In the present overview, we draw a clear picture of how variability affects the selection method and also how yield is related to distinct direct and indirect developments. Genotypes show high variability, and suitable characters can be used in a similar breeding programme. A glimpse of molecular advances in rice breeding has also been integrated into the gift overview.

Most nations depend heavily on plants as economic resources. They can be categorized according to their contribution to economic development thanks to their taxonomic classes. Plant components are used in pharmaceutical research and the creation of novel medications in the healthcare industry. Plant components or herbal concoctions are utilized as herbal medicines in Bhutan and other parts of the world to treat various illnesses. The study aimed to list all the plants possessing medicinal properties from the published sources. The proponents of herbal medicine in Bhutan assert that plant parts contain a variety of phytochemicals that show a range of pharmacological and biological responses. The related data were searched online using various boolean operations. Bhutan is home to around 637 medicinal plant species under 132 families and 418 genera, of which only 229 species are used in Bhutanese traditional medicine. More research and interactions with the local traditional medicinal practitioners can reveal more plants with medicinal properties.

The swimming endurance test, anoxic tolerance test, and basal activity by actophotometer were used to assess the antistress activity of a seven-day therapy (200 and 400 mg/kg, p.o.) of the ethanolic extract of Coriandrum sativum (EECS) aerial parts. A method for measuring the in vitro antioxidant activity of hydroxyl radicals was used. In all of the examined models, Coriandrum sativum at both doses demonstrated antistress effects. In the anoxic tolerance test, swimming endurance test, and duration of stay on the rotarod, the EECS treated rats demonstrated enhanced swimming time, duration, and anoxic tolerance time, respectively. The C. sativum's potential to scavenge free radicals, which enhanced the cognitive effect, was utilized to determine the in vitro antioxidant activity. The results demonstrated clearly that the extract's in vivo adaptogenic performance and cognitive improvement were caused by its in vitro antioxidant activity. The EECS treated animals showed increase locomotor scores in basal activity by Actophotometer. The plant secondary metabolites flavonoids, glycosides, triterpenoids, and phenolic components may be accountable for the animals' improved swimming endurance, stress tolerance, and overall performance. This study gave evidence that the ethanolic extract of Coriandrum sativum has antioxidant, anti-stress, and nootropic activity, and that utilizing them by humans as nutraceuticals is beneficial and scientific. By stress reduction in animals, the antioxidant effect provides the pharmacological basis for supporting a healthy memory.

Ageratina adenophora (Sprengel) King and Robison, commonly known as Mexican devil, is considered as one of the aggressive species, which invades almost all parts of an ecosystem. Particularly, people who rear livestock and depend on naturally available fodders have a great concern over the invasion of this species. Therefore, this study was conducted to generate knowledge on current status of A. adenophora invasion and its potential impact on livestock and fodder species of Radhi Gewog (Village block) under Trashigang district of Bhutan. The study recorded the total of 14 fodder species distributed in both open and undisturbed forest, and Artemisia sp. was the most abundant fodder in the sampled site. We learnt that the livestock mainly used the open areas for grazing and browsing, but 87.5% of sampled plots in this area was invaded by the A. adenophora, affecting the growth of fodder species. Due to this reason, a strategic management plan needs to consider the eradicating or controlling the invasion of A. adenophora across the country, particularly at grazing sites and places where people depend on livestock for their livelihood.
Ageratina adenophora (Sprengel) King and Robison，俗称墨西哥魔鬼，被认为是一种侵略性物种，它几乎入侵了生态系统的所有部分。特别是那些饲养牲畜并依赖天然饲料的人，对这种物种的入侵非常担忧。因此，本研究旨在了解A. adenophora入侵现状及其对不丹Trashigang地区Radhi Gewog (Village block)牲畜和饲料物种的潜在影响。研究共记录了14种饲料，分布在开放和未受干扰的森林中，其中以蒿属(Artemisia sp.)为最丰富的饲料。结果表明，该地区家畜主要利用开阔地放牧和取食，但87.5%的样地被腺蚜入侵，影响了饲料种类的生长。由于这个原因，战略管理计划需要考虑在全国范围内根除或控制腺蚜的入侵，特别是在放牧场所和人们以牲畜为生的地方。

Cyathula prostrata (Blume) L, a member of the Amaranthaceae family, has long been used in tropical regions of the world for a variety of diseases, and study has shown that it is beneficial in the treatment of rheumatism, dysentery, wounds, and urethral discharges. The goal of this study was to use standard conventional methods to investigate the phytochemical content of this plant's leaf and root parts. The presence or absence of several secondary metabolites was examined qualitatively and quantitatively in the crude extract. Phytochemical components were discovered to be more abundant in the leaves of Cyathula prostrata than in the root, according to the findings. Flavonoids, tannins, saponins, cardiac glycosides, steroids, and terpenoids were found in the leaf and root sections of the plant. These phytochemicals were found to be higher in the leaf than in the root, according to quantitative analysis of the leaf and root parts. Flavonoids were discovered to have the highest concentration of phytochemicals, followed by tannins, alkaloids, steroids, saponins, and terpenoids in that order. The findings revealed that the leaf and root of Cyathula prostrata have excellent nutritional and therapeutic values, suggesting that it could be used for medical purposes.

Ageratum houstonianum is an annual herbaceous weed which is widely used as an ornamental plant for summer borders and balcony boxes. It is considered a safe weed with several medicinal properties. This Study was carried out to know the Phytochemicals constituent of Ageratum houstonianum leaves and stem. Ageratum houstonianum was evaluated for total Saponins, total Phenol and other Secondary metabolites contents using standard procedures. The study of the leaves and stem revealed the presence of Saponins, Flavonoids, Alkaloids, tannins, Phenol and Steroids. The Leaves of Ageratum houstonianum gave higher composition of tannins, alkaloid, saponin, flavonoid and phenols at (3.41±0.015 mg/100g), (2.40±0.015 mg/100g), (1.16±0.021 mg/100g), (1.55±0.031 mg/100g) and (1.22±0.015 mg/100g) respectively than the stem. And there is significant relationship between the phytochemicals present in the two plant parts.
