It illustrates macroscopical and microscopical characters of different plant parts, quantitative microscopy of leaf drugs, histochemistry for detection of localized chemical constituents in various tissues and phytochemical account. In the present investigation the alkaloids and glycosides present in some drugs…

Several morpho physiological traits are traditionally used as screening criteria for drought tolerance such as relative water content (RWC), stomatal index, water use efficiency (WUE) etc. Crop WUE can be improved by optimizing crop transpiration. Several workers have proposed carbon isotope discrimination (CID), ash content and canopy temperature depression (CTD) as selection criteria for transpiration efficiency (TE), which may serve as the surrogate measures for improvement in grain yield.To identify suitable physiological traits useful in wheat breeding under water stress environment is the major thrust area of present investigation.…

The book includes the studies on important herbal drugs. These drugs are utilized as a native medicine in different formulation or in organ form in different systems of medicine in India. It is used in different ailments. The present study highlights the morphology of selected plants, association of fungi with crude drugs under storage condition and effect of relative humidity on fungal growth. The medicinal properties of the herbal drugs depend upon their chemical constituents and these therapeutically active chemical constituents may substantially diminish their therapeutic values due to threat of fungi. Investigations were…

This book presents the results of pharmacognostic investigations of six antidysenteric leafy medicinally important plants of Kerala, India. These plants have also been extensively utilized in different systems like Ayurved, Unani & Vaids of medicine to treat dysentery. In addition to these, histochemical & phytochemical screenings were carried out for secondary metabolites such as tannins, saponins, anthroquinones, glycosides & alkaloids. Along with that anti-microbial activity data using common pathogenic bacteria is also furnished. The subject is divided into six major chapters to have continuity in reading like introduction, review of…
