Analgesic and Antimicrobial Activities of Curcuma Zedoaria
This study describes the biological activity of the dried leaves, stem and rhizomes of Curcuma zedoaria belonging to the family Zingiberaceae. The dried powders of the plant were extracted with organic solventsmethanol and pet ether sequentially by the maceration process. The crude extract of methanol and pet ether were then investigated for analgesic and antimicrobial activity. At an oral dose...
متن کاملEstimation of Genetic Variability in Turmeric (curcuma Longa L.) Germplasm Using Agro-morphological Traits
Turmeric is an important medicinal plant and cultivated spice crop in Pakistan. The present study was conducted to determine the extent of genetic variation and relationship among turmeric genotypes using 21 qualitative and quantitative traits. A total of 20 genotypes collected from three eco-geographical areas (Bannu, Haripur and Kasur) of turmeric cultivation in Pakistan were studied under fi...
متن کاملGenetic diversity of turmeric germplasm (Curcuma longa; Zingiberaceae) identified by microsatellite markers.
Turmeric (Curcuma longa) is a triploid, vegetatively propagated crop introduced early during the colonization of Brazil. Turmeric rhizomes are ground into a powder used as a natural dye in the food industry, although recent research suggests a greater potential for the development of drugs and cosmetics. In Brazil, little is known about the genetic variability available for crop improvement. We...
متن کاملMorpho-anatomical adaptations to waterlogging by germplasm accessions in a tropical forage grass
Soil waterlogging reduces gas exchange between the soil and the atmosphere, leading to oxygen deprivation in the rhizosphere. Brachiaria spp. are the most widelysown forage grasses in tropical America. Among commercial Brachiaria grasses, B. humidicola shows superior tolerance to waterlogged soils based on maintenance of growth and reduced leaf chlorophyll loss and senescence. However, little i...
متن کاملEthnobotany of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.)
This paper deals with the ethnobotany of turmeric (Curcuma longa L.) an ancient crop having its origin and early domestication in South Asia and ethnobotanically very important. Due to its manifold uses in cultural and social life of ethnic people of Asia with special reference to South and South East Asia, has very early domestication and evolutionary history. In India, its history begins from...
