“…Leaves were mostly used in the preparation of herbal remedy since they are easily collected than underground parts, flowers and fruits (Giday et al, 2009). Use of leaves as remedy is generally considered as sustainable for the survival of plants since their harvest does not induce the irreversible destruction of plants like that of roots or whole plant a approach towards harvesting (Shah et al, 2015).…”

“…Flowering has been reported to occur during the months of May to July followed by seed set in October3. The short and stout rhizome along with adventitious roots has been used in the Indian system of medicine as “folk medicine” (http://www.medicinalplants.in/folksearchpage) to cure menstrual and other reproductive disorders5, general body weakness6, dysentery2, headache and fever7, besides its use as an anthelmintic for livestock8. Great medicinal importance coupled with high commercial value (15,000 to 20,000 per kg raw botanical drug) in the international markets9 has led to quantum extraction of T. govanianum before the maturation of seeds.…”

Trillium govanianum, an endangered medicinal herb native to the Himalaya, is less studied at the molecular level due to the non-availability of genomic resources. To facilitate the basic understanding of the key genes and regulatory mechanism of pharmaceutically important biosynthesis pathways, first spatial transcriptome sequencing of T. govanianum was performed. 151,622,376 (~11.5 Gb) high quality reads obtained using paired-end Illumina sequencing were de novo assembled into 69,174 transcripts. Functional annotation with multiple public databases identified array of genes involved in steroidal saponin biosynthesis and other secondary metabolite pathways including brassinosteroid, carotenoid, diterpenoid, flavonoid, phenylpropanoid, steroid and terpenoid backbone biosynthesis, and important TF families (bHLH, MYB related, NAC, FAR1, bZIP, B3 and WRKY). Differentially expressed large number of transcripts, together with CYPs and UGTs suggests involvement of these candidates in tissue specific expression. Combined transcriptome and expression analysis revealed that leaf and fruit tissues are the main site of steroidal saponin biosynthesis. In conclusion, comprehensive genomic dataset created in the current study will serve as a resource for identification of potential candidates for genetic manipulation of targeted bioactive metabolites and also contribute for development of functionally relevant molecular marker resource to expedite molecular breeding and conservation efforts in T. govanianum.

“…When herbalists prepare herbal preparations to treat various ailments, they frequently add some other plant parts, several ingredients and additives. Several previous studies by Ayyanar and Ignacimuthu [9], Keter and Mutiso [26], Kumar and Bharati [10] and Shah et al [11] also supported this view.…”

Background: Traditional medicine plays an important role in primary healthcare of people reside in forest areas. We have reported the ethnomedicinal plants used by two ethnic communities in Western Ghats region of Erode district, Tamil Nadu, India. Aim of study:The aim of this study is to gather ethnomedicinal information from local people and herbalists and calculate the documented information with statistical parameters. Materials and methods:Semi structured questionnaire was used during the interview with Malayali and Narikuravar communities to document traditional knowledge on plants. The knowledge on medicinal plants used by informants to treat different types of ailments was analysed using the use value (UV) and frequency of citation (FC). Results:A total number of 69 species of medicinal plants belonging to 33 families have been reported to treat various illnesses. Most of the plants reported in this study were used to treat diabetes, joint pain, snake bite, kidney problems, uterine disorders, sexual and fertility problems, cough, indigestion and cancer. Moringa oleifera was reported with highest UV of 5.08. Conclusion:The present study revealed that, documentation of this knowledge will offer recognition of folk medicinal practices and could offer possible avenues for pharmacological analysis for a range of ailments.
