“…They commonly form a soapy lather after shaking in water. The antimicrobial activity of saponins and flavonoids in plants like oats (Avena sativa) and anthraquinones, carbohydrates and alkaloids derived from plants like Bersama engleriana (Melianthaceae) have been proven when extracted from roots, stem bark, leaves and wood (Bahraminejad, Asenstorfer, Riley, & Schultz, 2008;Cushnie & Lamb, 2005;Kuete et al, 2008;Musyimi, Muema, & Muema, 2008;Naidu, 2000a). Thiosulfinates are prepared from garlic by mild procedures.…”

Petroleum ether, acetone, ethanolic and aqueous crude extracts of various plant organs of Alchornea hirtella, Morinda geminata and Craterispermum laurinum used in Sierra Leone exhibited variable degree of antimicrobial activity against four bacterial species. Compared with the standard drug ciprofloxacin, the extracts exhibited low to moderate antibacterial activity. Generally, the tested microorganisms were resistant to the petroleum ether and acetone extracts. The aqueous extract of the stem bark of M. geminata was sensitive to Streptococcus pyogenes (61% inhibition) and leaf extract of A. hirtella inhibited the growth of Proteus vulgaris (56%). Ethanolic crude extract of the stem bark of C. laurinum and M. geminata were particularly sensitive to S. pyogenes; moderate activity was also demonstrated by the stem bark of C. laurinum against Escherichia coli. MIC values indicated that the ethanolic extract showed significant microbiostatic action against S. pyogenes and Staphylococcus aureus (MIC 0.8 -2 mg/ml), whereas the other strains were more resistant (MIC >2 mg/ml). Phytochemical evaluation revealed moderate to high contents of flavonoids, alkaloid and saponins in the ethanolic extract.

“…It is the oldest form of healthcare known to mankind (Girma, 2005;Manzoor and Maksuda, 2000) and remains an important element of human and livestock healthcare systems in many developing countries (Lambert et al, 2005). Presently approximately 60 -80 % of the world population and 90 % in Africa use herbal medicine for their primary health care (Ramzi et al, 2008;Musyimi et al, 2008;Parekh et al, 2006;Kim, 2005, Hostettmann et al, 2000Hamann, 1991). In China for example, herbal medicine is an integral part of the formal health system (Akerele et al, 1991).…”

The use of molecular markers, revealing polymorphism at the DNA level, has been playing an increasing part in plant molecular biotechnology and their genetic studies. There are three different types of markers viz. morphological, biochemical and DNA based molecular markers. These DNA based markers are differentiating in two types 1. Non PCR based (RFLP) and 2. PCR based markers (RAPD, AFLP, SSR, SNP etc.). Amongst others, the microsatellite DNA marker is one of the most widely used marker due to its easy use by simple PCR, followed by a denaturing gel electrophoresis. SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) is nowadays is the one which is used mainly. In this review, we are going to discuss about the biochemical and molecular markers which are recently developed, the important characteristics of molecular markers their advantages, disadvantages and the applications of these markers in comparison with other markers types.
