Mineral contents from some fabaceous plant species of Rajasthan desert

Abstract

Evaluation of mineral contents from three selected plant species of Fabaceae family growing in arid region of Rajasthan Desert was carried out. The roots, shoots and fruits of Clitoria ternatea, Sesbania bispinosa and Tephrosia purpurea collected from two different areas Chhatargarh area (Bikaner district) and Ratangarh area (Churu district) were analysed for mineral contents. The maximum Calcium (3.86%), Phosphorus (0.48%), Potassium (0.92%) and Sodium (1.08%) contents were found in roots and shoots of Grewia tenax collected from study area.

Phytochemical Investigation and Quantitative Estimation of Flavonoid and Phenolic Contents of the Root, Stem and Leaves of Tephrosia Purpurea Linn

“…Tephrosia purpurea root have good cytotoxic activity 11 , anticancer properties chemopreventive efficacy, antilipidperoxidative effect 12 and antiulcers properties 13 . Whole plant of Tephrosia purpurea produced significant (p<0.01) antiulcer 15 . It has shown resistance against arsenic induced toxicity by its protective effect 16 .…”

Nutritive contents of two plant species growing in western Rajasthan

“…The plant growing in Western Rajasthan besides their medicinal importance may contain sufficient amount of nutrients to be considered as live stock feed. A number of plant have been anlysed for their nutritive values [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. The present investigation describes the evaluation of nutritive contents from root, shoot and fruit of both selected plant species.…”
