An experiment to study the effect of inter and intra row spacing on the yielding performance of periwinkle species was conducted at Nagarjun Medicinal and Aromatic Plants Research Scheme, P. K. V., Akola (M. S.) during 1980 - 81 to 82 - 83. Three species viz., Catharanthus roseus, Catharanthus alba and Catharanthus oscillatus did not differ significantly in respect of dried foliage and root yie...

Vermicompost (VC) is a nutrient-rich material that mixed with soil, and it used in this study. Four different environments were created such as control (Soil:VC:100–0%), mix one (Soil:VC:70–30% w/w), two (Soil:VC:50–50% three (Soil:VC:40:60% well-developed roses (Vinca rosea valiant, Pelargonium peltatum, Pegasus patio) seedlings transferred to individual pots. Plant growth parameters, i.e., th...

Vinca alkaloids and its derivatives like Vincristine, Vinblastine etc. isolated from Catharanthus roseus plants are widely used in the treatment of various types cancers. Mode action (vinblastine, vincristine, vinorelbine) is microtubule-stabilizing agents (MTAs) i.e., arrest cell cycle via disrupting microtubule dynamics. Vincristine major side effect neurotoxicity. Hoverer, induce neuropathy ...

A D-galactose-binding lectin agglutinating human erythrocytes has been purified from the seeds of the Indian coral tree (Erythrina variegata (Linn.) var. orientalis (Linn.) Merrill] by affinity chromatography on acid-treated Sepharose-6B gel. It has a higher reactivity for O-group erythrocytes. The lectin is a glycoprotein having a leucoagglutinating property.
