“…Although propagation using seeds is an easy and inexpensive method, it is impossible to distinguish the male and female plants until they start to flower. Also, some desirable traits of the parents may not be expressed in seedpropagated plants (Li and Schroeder 2003). Clonal multiplication of selected elite germplasm is meaningful for maintenance of superior traits which otherwise will be lost due to open pollination and out crossing.…”

Sea buckthorn (Hippophae L., Elaeagnaceae) is an economically and ecologically important medicinal plant comprising of species which are winter hardy, dioecious, wind-pollinated multipurpose shrubs bearing yellow or orange berries with nitrogen-fixing ability. It grows widely in cold regions of Indian Himalayas, China, Russia, Europe and many other countries. It is commonly known as 'cold desert gold' due to its high potential as a bio-resource for land reclamation, reducing soil erosion and its multifarious uses. The wild populations are being used for harvesting economic benefits with negligible plantation efforts. Although this plant has many excellent traits, it is still in an early phase of domestication. This woody plant is prone to many pests and diseases which destroy the plants and halt its commercial production. Limited progress has been made for improvement of sea buckthorn through breeding programs due to long juvenile period and lack of QTL linkage map, which makes screening of mapping populations a time-consuming and labor-intensive task. Conventional propagation methods, i.e. seeds, softwood and hardwood cuttings, and suckers are in place but are cumbersome and season dependent. Therefore, application of modern tools of biotechnology needs to be standardized for harnessing maximum benefits from this nutraceutical plant. Improvement of this genus through genetic transformation requires an efficient regeneration system, which is yet to be standardized. Taxonomic status of the genus is controversial and requires more inputs. Taxonomic delineation of species and subspecies and also the breeding programs can be more robustly addressed using molecular markers. This review summarizes the progress made and suggests some future directions of research for this important fruit species.

This paper analyzes the diversity, consumption and gathering patterns, and uses of wild edible plants among the tribal communities living in cold arid region of Indian Himalaya. Eco-geographically, extremely cold climate, open vegetation, strong afternoon winds and loose soils characterize the region. Wild edible plants have special significance in the livelihoods of tribal people particularly during harsh winters when nothing grows on field. We gathered information on 164 wild edible plant species belonging to 100 genera and 37 families sharing 14% of total plants species occurring here. Around 83% plant species were present in pure wild state while 17% were in semi wild state/cultivated occasionally. Wild plants are eaten more as vegetable and it was found that out of 101 plants used as vegetable, 57 are cooked and eaten and the rest (44) eaten raw. The species like Pinus gerardiana, Prunus armeniaca, Hippophae rhamnoides, Bunium persicum are harvested more for commerce in the downtown markets while Lepidium latifolium, Taraxacum officinale, Urtica hyperborea, Capparis spinosa, Fagopyrum tataricum, Malva verticillata, and Rhodiola heterodonta are preferred for their medicinal and nutritional properties locally. Infrastructure development, more tourists flow, agricultural intensification, more jobs and business opportunities have led to rapid changes in the life styles and food habits of the people. Consequently, the age-old tradition of gathering wild edible plants is fading particularly among younger generations. Nevertheless, people do realize the importance of wild edible plants, and therefore to harness the benefits of this unique diversity participatory management and conservation programs, investigations on nutritional and pharmacological attributes, and regulated market support for some important WEPs have taken up in the region.

Age‐related water uptake patterns of alpine plantation shrubs in reforestation region of Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau based on stable isotopes

Sea buckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides L.) plantations play crucial roles in the prevention of soil erosion and control of desertification on the Qinghai–Tibetan Plateau; however, the limited information on the age‐related water uptake patterns of H. rhamnoides and their relationships with associated grasses species weakens our understanding of how these factors influence the management of H. rhamnoides plantations. Therefore, this study investigated the seasonal variations in water uptake patterns of different‐aged H. rhamnoides and their associated species via stable isotopes and leaf water potential analyses. The model results showed that seedling (Hs) and juvenile (Hj) H. rhamnoides extracted water mainly from shallow and middle soil layers throughout the growing seasons, whereas mature H. rhamnoides (Hm) exhibited high plasticity, shifting water source between shallow soil water and groundwater when the former become less available. By contrast, the associated grasses (Taraxacum mongolicum, Thermopsis lanceolata, and Polygonum sibiricum) mainly absorbed shallow soil water across the whole growing seasons, suggesting that direct competition for shallow soil water occurred between grasses and H. rhamnoides. In addition, the obviously higher δ13C values of Hj with more negative predawn (mean Ψpd, −1.37 MPa) and midday (mean Ψmd, −2.23 MPa) leaf water potential indicated the Hj experienced greater water stress relative to Hs and Hm. These results provide new understanding of the seasonal water use strategies of different‐aged H. rhamnoides, which will be important for the successful management of plantations in this region.
