Catharanthus roseus (L.).G. Don, a highly valued medicinal plant suffers from a serious disease. A survey on the symptom and severity of the leaf blight of C. roseus was performed in the nurseries of the Institute of Forestry and Environmental Sciences (IFESCU), Bangladesh Council of Industrial Research (BCSIR) and Bangladesh Forest Research Institute (BFRI), Bangladesh. An observation was also...

Dentre os táxons botânicos que apresentam um alto potencial farmacológico, está a família Apocynaceae Juss.. Com isso, este trabalho teve como objetivo traçar características farmacológicas, fitoquímicas e indicações terapêuticas de três espécies da supracitada. Referente à espécie Allamanda cathartica L. (dedal-de-princesa), dados mostram suas folhas seu látex são utilizados para o tratamento ...

The medicinal plant, Catharanthus roseus, accumulates wide range of terpenoid indole alkaloids, which are well documented therapeutic agents. In this study, deep transcriptome sequencing of C. roseus was carried out to identify the pathways and enzymes (genes) involved in biosynthesis of these compounds. About 343 million reads were generated from different tissues (leaf, flower and root) of C....

The study of salinity stress in irrigated floriculture can make a significant contribution to the preservation freshwater sources. To analyze morphological and aesthetic responses zinnia (Zinnia elegans L.) periwinkle (Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don) different levels, following treatments were performed: s0 = municipal water (control), s1 3 dS m−1, s2 4.5 s3 6 m−1. growth (flower number, plant...

Stem bark of Acacia nilotica, Delbergia sissoo, Delonix regia, Polyalthia longifolia, Prosopis cineraria, and Zyziphus mauritiana, and leaves of Catharanthus roseus, Mentha arvensis, Murraya koinigii, Ocimum basilicum, Tabernaemontana divaricata, Tinospora cordifolia and Tribulus terrestris were analyzed for their total phenolic and flavonois content as well as antioxidant activity. Stem bark o...

While this Article was undergoing peer review, Salim et al. (2013), Asada et al. (2013) and Salim et al. (2014) published individual steps of the (seco)iridoid biosynthesis pathway in Catharanthus roseus, including the molecular and biochemical characterization of 7-deoxyloganic acid hydroxylase, 7-deoxyloganetic acid glucosyl transferase and 7-deoxyloganetic acid synthase, which are in agreeme...
