“…Therefore, the antifungal efficacy can be ascribed to the presence of these alkaloids. Hibiscus rosa-sinensis, commonly referred to as the Chinese hibiscus, is a widely recognized medicinal plant employed in addressing diverse health conditions (Magdalita and San Pascual, 2022). There are reports of antimicrobial activity of this plant extract against pathogenic bacteria (Ruban and Gajalakshmi, 2012;Patel et al, 2012).…”

Background: This research aimed to assess the antifungal potential of oil and organic leaf extracts obtained from Ocimum gratissimum, Kopsia fruticosa and Hibiscus rosa-sinensis against fungal pathogens affecting solanaceous crops. Methods: Oil of O. gratissimum was obtained by hydro-distilled method using Clevenger apparatus. Leaf extracts of K. fruticosa and H. rosa-sinensis were extracted using three organic solvents namely hexane, ethanol and methanol. The antifungal activity of the oil and organic leaf extracts against the test fungal pathogens was determined by the agar well diffusion method. The efficacy of the oil and organic leaf extracts against the pathogens was evaluated by their minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), ability to inhibit spore germination and growth kinetic assay. Result: The oil of O. gratissimum (1000 ppm) significantly inhibited the growth of Cercospora capsici (81.4%), Alternaria alternata (73.7%) and Fusarium oxysporum (68.7%). Hexane extract of K. fruticosa and methanol extract of H. rosa-sinensis (1500 µg/well) displayed strong antifungal activity against Colletotrichum acutatum with inhibition percentages of 75.9% and 82.4% respectively. Similarly, ethanol extract of K. fruticosa and methanol extract of H. rosa-sinensis showed effective inhibition against C. capsici and A. alternata. The oil of O. gratissimum showed MIC values of 50, 100 and 200 µg/mL against C. capsici, A. alternata and F. oxysporum respectively. Ethanol extract of K. fruticosa showed MIC values ranging from 100 to 350 µg/mL, while H. rosa-sinensis methanol extract displayed MIC values ranging from 50 to 200 µg/mL against the fungal pathogens. The oil extract also demonstrated strong inhibition of spore germination of the test fungi. Our study suggests the potential of plant-derived essential oils and extracts as effective antifungal agents for crop protection.

Globally, cancer is one of the primary causes of both morbidity and mortality. To prevent cancer from getting worse, more targeted and efficient treatment plans must be developed immediately. Recent research has demonstrated the benefits of natural products for several illnesses, and these products have played a significant role in the development of novel treatments whose bioactive components serve as both chemotherapeutic and chemo-preventive agents. Phytochemicals are naturally occurring molecules obtained from plants that have potential applications in both cancer therapy and the development of new medications. These phytochemicals function by regulating the molecular pathways connected to the onset and progression of cancer. Among the specific methods are immune system control, inducing cell cycle arrest and apoptosis, preventing proliferation, raising antioxidant status, and inactivating carcinogens. A thorough literature review was conducted using Google Scholar, PubMed, Scopus, Google Patent, Patent Scope, and US Patent to obtain the data. To provide an overview of the anticancer effects of several medicinal plants, including Annona muricata, Arctium lappa, Arum palaestinum, Cannabis sativa, Catharanthus roseus, Curcuma longa, Glycyrrhiza glabra, Hibiscus, Kalanchoe blossfeldiana, Moringa oleifera, Nerium oleander, Silybum marianum, Taraxacum officinale, Urtica dioica, Withania somnifera L., their availability, classification, active components, pharmacological activities, signaling mechanisms, and potential side effects against the most common cancer types were explored.

“…A side effect of polyploidy is a condition where the phenotype of the offspring may be quite different from the parent, or certainly any ancestor, essentially allowing possibly random expression of all or any of the characteristics of all the generations that they have gone before. Due to this characteristic nature, H. rosa-sinensis has become popular with who cross and re-cross varieties, creating new named varieties and holding competitions to exhibit and judge the many resulting new seedlings and often resulting to strikingly unique flowers [8]. To develop desired traits, the authors have selected elite cultivars for hybridisation namely 'Valentine's Day' (female parent) from USA California which was developed by Black Charles, and 'Moorea Memory of July' (male parent) from French Polynesia which created by Atiu Charles.…”

Hibiscus has a unique and wide range of colors ranging from brown, purple, white, pink, red, orange, yellow, etc. Many cultivars introduced from various countries were adapted to Indian conditions, of which suitable elegant cultivars Hibiscus rosa- sinensis L. ‘Valentine's Day’ (female pod parent) and Hibiscus rosa- sinensis L. ‘Moorea Memory of July’ (male pollen parent) were selected and hybridized. Hybrid seeds from the female parent were collected, germinated, and grown to the flowering stage. The developed cultivar was named after a great Indian scientist Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose (H. rosa-sinensis cv. Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose). A detailed development of the new cultivar with photographs is discussed.
