Abstract:
The area of RW 01 Rawamangun, Pulogadung District, East Jakarta does not have an allocation of open land, so there is a minimum of green yards. The technology introduced in this community service activity is the cultivation of family medicinal plants in yards using the verticulture method. The purpose of this community service activity is to convey information about the cultivation of family medicinal plants through lectures, discussions, and direct practice of cultivating family medicinal plants in yards using the verticulture method. Evaluation of participants' knowledge improvement was carried out by pre- and post test after counseling and cultivation practices. Skills participants are carried out when evaluating the practice of cultivating medicinal plants in their yards. The results of the activity showed an increase in basic knowledge regarding the types, benefits, and techniques of cultivating family medicinal plants from technology. Family medicinal plant service activity is classified as successful and beneficial, due to increased knowledge more than 60 in average test scoring. The skills evaluation showed that some residents were able to plant and maintain family medicinal plants on a narrow plot of land using the proper verticulture method. The results of the cultivation of these medicinal plants, apart from being one of the real actions of plant greening, can also be in the form of powder products which can then be consumed as a body health measure or sold.

Abstract:
Over thousands of years, nature has given us better environments for the growth and development of medicinal plants. Plants have been used as medicines since ancient times because people thought they were safe and had benefit. Even now, 80% of the world’s population relies mostly on alternative medicine systems for their primary healthcare needs. Several kinds of secondary metabolites, also known as bioactive plant elements, are found in plants and are what give them their medical value in nature. For the growth of a greater quantity of secondary metabolites from the plants and their by-products, scientific agriculture allows the application of modern technical elements like mutation, polyploidy, and hybridization. Simple approaches are required for the cultivation, gathering, and preservation of medicinal plants in order to maintain their therapeutic potential. Alkaloids, glycosides, tannins, resins, volatile oils, and other bioactive phytochemicals are only a few examples of the phytochemicals that play a major role in the pharmacological actions of medicinal and aromatic plants. The physical environment, including sunshine, temperature, rainfall, and soil type, has a significant impact on the growth and development of medicinal plants as well as the secondary metabolites that result from those processes. The world’s most significant sources of herbal goods are medicinal plants, yet they are vanishing quickly. We stressed the need for sufficient consideration of resource management and conservation techniques for the sustainable use of medicinal plant resources, including in situ and ex situ conservation and growing approaches. We advise applying biotechnological methods (such as tissue culture, micropropagation, synthetic seed technology, and techniques based on molecular markers) to increase production and alter the potency of medicinal plants. The numerous innovations employed in farming methods are described in this article.

Abstract:
Indonesia is among the countries producing medicinal plants (TO) for domestic and foreign demand. Nevertheless, Indonesia keeps importing a variety of TO kinds. One reason for this is farmer's lack of interest in cultivating medicinal plants, which is interesting to observe considering that, in terms of market share, ecology, and geography, all of them support the development of medicinal plant cultivation. This cross-sectional study with observations and interviews aims to get primary data to identify the factors causing the lacking interest of farmers in cultivating medicinal plants. In October 2018, we conducted our data collection. Statistics Indonesia (BPS) provided secondary data on the production and trade of medicinal plants from 2009 to 2020. We did descriptive data analysis. The results showed several factors caused farmers to be less interested in cultivating medicinal plants. Expense fluctuations, the length of the planting period, technology, and access to marketing, until the government's attention has not been optimized are the contributing factors. It should make efforts to increase the interest of farmers in cultivating medicinal plants. There are ways to encourage people to grow medicinal plants as their primary source of income, including stable prices, market accessibility, efficient cultivation, and post-harvest technology.

Abstract:
Medicinal plants have long been central to traditional healthcare systems, particularly in developing regions where modern medical infrastructure is limited. With approximately 80–90% of populations in these areas relying on traditional remedies, cultivating medicinal plants presents a sustainable alternative to improve healthcare accessibility and resilience. This paper examines the feasibility of cultivating medicinal plants to meet local health needs by examining historical practices, current cultivation trends, local health assessments, species selection, cultivation techniques, and economic viability. It also considers the environmental and socio-political implications of medicinal plant domestication. Case studies from regions like the Udzungwa Mountains in Tanzania, the Eastern Cape in South Africa, and Marakwet in Kenya offer insights into both the opportunities and constraints faced by communities. The findings underscore the need for scientifically informed approaches, policy support, and community engagement to promote sustainable cultivation. This initiative, if carefully planned and supported, can enhance public health, biodiversity conservation, and rural economic development. Keywords: Medicinal plants, Traditional healthcare, Sustainable agriculture, Local health needs, Biodiversity conservation, Community engagement.

Abstract:
PARTNER VILLAGE IN FAMILY MEDICINE PLANT CULTIVATION TOWARDS CIBIRU WETAN VILLAGE AS A HERBAL CENTER. The area of ​​Cibiru Wetan Village is a farming area because besides the limited water supply, the land is hilly. With the initiative and participation of women farmer groups which had so many achievements and skills, it was necessary to explore the potential that could provide a new icon for Cibiru Wetan Village. The purpose of the activity was to socialize and practice the cultivating of the medicinal plants carried out by a group of women farmers with simple and effective technology and finally able to become a center of dried herbs production. The method used in the cultivation program for medicinal plants was divided into three stages. The first stage was to provide material counseling on family medicinal plants including the understanding of the benefits of the plant, the second stage was to provide an explanation or training in planting family medicinal plants and the last stage or third stage was to practice directly in planting these medicinal plants. The results showed a positive understanding of both groups for both the socialization and counseling stages as well as for the practice of medicinal plants cultivation. It could be concluded, the partner village activities in medicinal plants cultivation could improve the understanding of the target group.

Abstract:
India is a very rich hub of plant biodiversity, many of those are therapeutically and medicinally useful. The rich resources are disappearing at an alarming state because of over-exploitation. Some of the endangered medicinal plants are Saussaurea lappa, Picrorrhiza kurroa, Swertia chirata, Holostemma annnularis, Rauwolfia serpenti-na. Normally there are two methods of conservation: in situ and ex situ conservation. Many techniques were also followed in ancient times to conserve or cultivate plants. There is a need to conserve the medicinal plants to prevent their total extinction from the natural flora. The expanding trade in medicinal plants has implications for the survival of several plant species. Growing demand for therapeutic products from indigenous medicinal plants, itself has positive effect of increased interest in cultivation, which seems a perfect option for improving smallholder farmers’ livelihoods, as well as sustaining the availability of these resources for future generations. Cultivation of medicinal plants provides feasible solutions to pharmaceutical organization, while effectively con-serving threatened indigenous biodiversity. The purpose of this paper is to justify and emphasize the need for the evaluation and cultivation of medicinal plants.

Abstract:
The global demand for medicinal plants is growing rapidly, and to meet this demand, commercial cultivation of the plants is needed. However, traditional cultivation methods result in varying levels of biomass production as well as active content variation. Hydroponic farming can be used to produce medicinal plants with superior quality, more biomass output, and higher concentrations of bioactive substances. This system plays an important role in improving the therapeutic value of medicinal plant species. Keywords: Hydroponic, medicinal plants, cultivation, bioactive compounds.

Abstract:
CNPQ<br>Physalis pubescens L., ou camapu, é uma planta herbácea, cujos frutos são comestíveis e folhas, caules e raízes utilizados na medicina tradicional, contra diversas enfermidades. Como os estudos referentes a esta espécie são escassos o presente trabalho teve como objetivos: 1) avaliar os aspectos agronômicos de plantas cultivadas por diferentes métodos e substratos, 2) descrever anatomicamente as principais estruturas da plantas e 3) detectar a presença de compostos de interesse do metabolismo secundário. Para tanto, no primeiro ensaio foram avaliadas plantas produzidas a partir de sementes e estacas herbáceas. Como substratos foram utilizados: (SA) Solo + areia; (SV) Solo + vermiculita; (SP) Solo + Plantmax; (SAV); Solo + areia + vermiculita e (S) Solo. Foram avaliados os comprimentos da parte aérea e da maior raiz; área foliar; massas fresca e seca das folhas, caules e raízes; e volume radicular. O delineamento experimental utilizado foi inteiramente casualizado, em um esquema fatorial de 2x5, com 10 repetições por tratamento. No segundo ensaio, folhas, caules e flores foram submetidos a cortes paradérmicos e transversais, fixados em FAA 70%, armazenados em etanol a 70% e posteriormente, analisados por microscopia ótica e eletrônica de varredura. No terceiro ensaio, folhas oriundas de plantas cultivadas em vasos mantidos em casa de vegetação foram secas, moídas e extraídas com hexano. O resíduo seco hexânico foi aplicado em coluna cromatográfica, tendo como solventes de partição diclorometano, acetato de etila, metanol e água destilada. As frações foram submetidas à cromatografia em camada delgada (TLC) e ressonância magnética de prótons (RMN 1H). O extrato bruto foi submetido à cromatografia a gás acoplada à espectrometria de massas (CG/EM). Para o primeiro ensaio observou-se interação significativa entre os fatores substrato e método de propagação somente para massa fresca e seca dos caules, com destaque para o método estaquia e os substratos S, SA, SP. Para as demais variáveis não foram constatadas diferenças significativas. Em relação aos aspectos anatômicos constatou-se que P. pubescens apresenta lâmina foliar hipoestomática, mesófilo com a presença de drusas; idioblastos de areia cristalina dispersos aleatoriamente pelo pecíolo, e tricomas glandulares e eglandulares ao longo de toda a lâmina foliar, caule, pecíolo e pétalas. O estudo fitoquímico por CG/EM revelou a possível presença do alcalóide epistefamiersina (86% de probabilidade); também foram observados as presenças de cumarinas, fisalinas, óleo essencial, saponinas, triterpenóides e taninos por TLC, além de triterpenos e compostos aromáticos de baixa intensidade por RMN 1H. Diante destes resultados, conclui-se que P. pubescens possui características anatômicas que auxiliam a diferenciá-la das demais espécies do gênero, e que a mesma sintetiza uma grande variedade de metabólitos secundários, com a estaquia sendo o melhor método de propagação, independente do tipo de substrato.<br>Physalis pubescens L., or Winter Cherry, is a herbaceous plant, whose fruits are edible and the leaves, stems and roots used in traditional medicine against various diseases. As the studies for this species are scarce this study aimed to 1) assess the agronomic features of crops grown by different methods and substrates, 2) describe the main anatomical structures of plants and 3) the presence of compounds of interest secondary metabolism. For this, the first trials were evaluated plants grown from seed and cuttings. The substrates were used: (SA) Soil + sand; (SV) Soil + vermiculite, (SP) Soil + Plantmax; (SAV) Soil + sand + vermiculite and (S) Soil. We evaluated the length of shoot and main root, leaf area, fresh and dry weight of leaves, stems and roots and root volume. The experimental design was completely randomized in a factorial scheme 2x5, with 10 replicates per treatment. In the second trial leaves, stems and flowers were sectioned transverse paradermic and fixed in FAA 70%, stored in 70% ethanol and subsequently analyzed by optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. In the third essay leaves from plants grown in pots in a greenhouse, were dried and extracted with hexane. The hexanic dry residue was applied to the extraction chromatographic column, and as solvents for the partition dichloromethane, ethyl acetate, methanol and distilled water. The fractions were subjected to thin layer chromatography (TLC) and proton magnetic resonance (NMR 1H). The crude extract was subjected to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC / MS). For the first test there was significant interaction between the factors substrate and method of propagation only for fresh and dry weight of stems, especially the cutting method and the substrate S, SA, SP. For the other variables were not significantly different. Regarding the anatomy it was found that P. pubescens leaf presents hypostomatic mesophyll with the presence of drusen, crystalline sand idioblasts scattered randomly around the petiole, and glandular and eglandular throughout the leaf, stem, petiole and flower petals. Phytochemical study by GC / MS revealed the possible presence of alkali epistephamiersine (86% probability) were also observed the presence of coumarins, physalins, essential oil, saponins, triterpenoids and tannins by TLC, and triterpenes and aromatic compounds of low NMR 1H intensity. Given these results it is concluded that P.pubescens has anatomical features that help differentiate it from other species of the genus, and that it synthetizes a wide variety of secondary metabolites also that the cutting is the best method of propagation, independent of substrate type.

Abstract:
<p>Essential oils (EO) are plant secondary metabolites that are known for their fragrance and food flavour properties. They consist of a complex mixture of mono- and sesquiterpenes, phenyl propanoids and oxygenated compounds. EOs can be present in different plant organs and materials, and their storage is related to specialised secretory structures. The yield of EOs from plant raw materials by distillation or pressing may on average vary from 0.1 – 1%, thus restricting the major EO production to the plant group of aromatic plants. Due to their function as signalling compounds between different types of organisms and diverse biological systems, their general antimicrobial and antioxidative effects and medicinal activity, EOs offer a promising potential for future applications within the fields of agriculture, medicine, pharmaceutical industry and biotechnology.</p><p>Changed consumer demands and raised interest in natural product compounds, especially essential oils, have formed the basis for initiating the research project “Norwegian Herb Production (Norsk Urteproduksjon NUP)” to encourage the cultivation, processing, marketing and distribution of aromatic and medicinal plants. The production, composition and quality characteristics of EOs (yield and terpene composition) from chamomile, lemon balm, oregano, peppermint, sachalinmint, thyme and yarrow have been investigated in the project period between 1994-1998.</p><p>Much focus has been put on the application of <i>solid-phase microextraction</i> (SPME) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for the analysis of EO volatiles from various aromatic and medicinal plants. SPME is a fast, solvent-free and non- destructive sample preparation technique where the analytes are extracted from fluid or solid matrices by <i>headspace</i> (HS) or <i>direct</i> <i>immersion sampling</i> (DI). Apart from EO isolation by common distillation, the applicability and sensitivity of the SPME fibre has made it feasible to carry out qualitative and semi-quantitative HS analyses of aromatic plants with regard to changes of EO metabolism during ontogenesis and plant development.</p><p>Based on NUP-results from field trials in the period between 1995-1996, the mint species peppermint (<i>Mentha × piperita L</i>.) and sachalinmint (<i>Mentha sachalinensis</i> (Briq.) Kudô) have been studied in detail (Papers B, D and E). Comparative analyses by applying distillation sampling and SPME have been carried out in order to study the advantages and disadvantages of both techniques (Papers B and E). It could be shown, that SPME offers a fast and reliable method for detecting quality-impact compounds from the <i>p</i>-menthane group (menthol, menthone, neomenthol, isomenthone and menthyl acetate). A distinct increase in the menthol/menthone ratio in the basipetal direction could be detected for peppermint and sachalinmint by applying SPME, thus revealing within-plant quality differences according to pharmacopeial requirements. Taking the increase of EO production from the vegetative to the generative growth stage into account, the harvest of mint plants in bloom will result in better EO yield and quality with regard to higher amounts of menthol.</p><p>When applying HS-SPME on complex EO volatile matrices such as known for yarrow (<i>Achillea millefolium L.</i>; Paper C), one might deal with fibre-partitioning effects of the different mono- and sesquiterpenes due to their physical and chemical properties. Despite these disadvantages, HS-SPME appears to be a sensitive extraction method for the screening of EO volatiles from complex sample matrices. Comparative analyses of volatiles from rose root rhizomes (<i>Rhodiola rosea L.</i>) have been carried out in order to characterize the rose-like odour compounds (Paper F). A total of 75 and 59 compounds have been identified by distillation sampling and HS-SPME, respectively, thus underscoring the excellent extraction properties and applicability of the SPME fibre.</p><p>Paper A gives a brief overview of EO biosynthesis and chemical structures, plant sources and methods of EO production. Before leading over to the main topic of HS-SPME applications by referring to numerous examples from the research work at The Plant Biocenter in the past 5 years, an introduction of solid-phase microextraction with regard to devices, procedures and extraction parameters is given.</p><p>The advantages and disadvantages of distillation vs. SPME are outlined on the background of comparative analyses of peppermint, chamomile, basil and dill. Furthermore, the utilization of HS-SPME for quantitative studies with regard to extraction time and analyte concentration is being highlighted. Examples for the screening of chemotypes (hops −<i>Humulus lupulus</i> L.) and cultivars (dill – <i>Anethum graveolens</i> L.) and ontogenetic studies are given (<i>Mentha</i> species; arnica −<i>Arnica montana</i> L.). Finally, the applicability of HS-SPME for the quality assessment of processed herbs (sweet basil −<i>Ocimum basilicum</i> L.) and phytomedicinal preparations (red coneflower – <i>Echinacea purpurea</i> L.) is being discussed.</p><p>The advantages of HS-SPME over classical distillation and headspace applications are impressive due to drastically reduced analysis time and will introduce new frontiers in plant volatile research with regard to secondary metabolism, plant-insect interactions and <i>in vivo</i> studies. The user-friendliness of operating SPME will initiate the development of future applications and equipment for the monitoring of volatiles for plant biological and environmental studies, extraction automation, on-site sampling and on-fibre storage of analytes.</p><br>Paper VI reprinted with kind permission of Elsevier, Sciencedirect, www.sciencedirect.com

Mestrado em Engenharia Agronómica - Economia Agrária e Gestão do Território - Instituto Superior de Agronomia<br>This paper concerns a study on the production of aromatic and medicinal plants (MAP) in Portugal. These species have always been considered as interesting in cultural, social, culinary and medicinal but only recently acquired an economic interest. Global growth of organic farming and market demand in this direction led to the production of specific interest in MAP organic production (MPB). In the particular case of Portugal, are known two ways to get these plants: cultivation and spontaneous gathering. These two types of production associated with the soil and climate of the country makes it a potential producer of these species, although even today the import of plants from abroad, often of dubious quality, still the main supplier of these species to the market. In an attempt to make the sector stronger and more competitive we believe it important to make a first analysis, more profound, about the characteristics of the producers of PAM on MPB in terms of culture: knowing who they are, where they are, what they produce, how to produce and where they sell. Being aware that the features of the islands are very specific, this study has focused on producers identified in Portugal.

Abstract:
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES<br>Medicinal plants are culturally used by the Brazilian population in curing and treating diseases and the fact that Brazil is rich in biodiversity favors this practice. Among the medicinal plants used are the marjoram (Origanum majorana L.) belonging to the family Lamiaceae. This species is commonly used as aromatic, analgesic, antioxidant, antiseptic, digestive, expectorant and in cooking. The objective of the present work was to analyze the genotoxicity and proliferative activity of the aqueous extracts and the oil of the leaves of marjoram on the cell cycle of Allium cepa, besides to verify the phytochemical composition through Chromatography. The aqueous extracts were prepared from the marjoram leaves that were grown in different environments (field and greenhouse) and with two drying methods (natural shade and microwave oven). Fresh leaves were used to extract essential oil. The evaluation of genotoxicity and proliferative activity through the Allium cepa test were conducted in the laboratory through a completely randomized design with 13 groups of bulbs with 5 replicates. The treatments were composed of distilled water, glyphosate 2%, infusion of marjoram leaves with concentrations of 6 and 12 g L-1, essential oil diluted to 0.075% and ethyl alcohol. These treatments were divided in two methods of drying the leaves: at room temperature (natural) and in microwave oven, in order to compare the phytochemical composition of the aqueous extracts. For the genotoxic analysis and the proliferative capacity, slides were prepared by the technique of crushing the meristematic region and staining with acetic orcein 2%, allowing the observation of the different phases of the mitotic division during the cell cycle. The results obtained by the Allium cepa test demonstrate that treatments with marjoram infusions and oils have an antiproliferative and genotoxic effect. 0.075% marjoram oil has antiproliferative activity and genotoxic potential. Chromatographic analysis indicated that the major component of the essential oils of marjoram in both culture environments was Terpinene-4-ol, and the concentration of this component was higher in greenhouse cultivation, and in the aqueous extracts the major component was chlorogenic acid. When it were produced in the field there was the reduction of this component. The treatment interaction within each culture environment in relation to the mitotic index shows a difference between the concentrations in the field crop and not between the concentrations in the greenhouse cultivation. The treatment interaction within each drying method for the mitotic index at concentrations of 6 g.L-1 and 12 g.L-1 showed no differences.<br>As plantas medicinais são culturalmente utilizadas pela população brasileira na cura e no tratamento de doenças e essa prática é favorecida pelo fato do Brasil ser rico em biodiversidade favorece esta prática. Entre as plantas medicinais usadas tem-se a manjerona (Origanum majorana L.) pertencente à família Lamiaceae. Esta espécie é comumente utilizada como aromática, analgésica, antioxidante, antisséptica, digestiva, expectorante e na culinária. Assim, o presente trabalho teve como objetivos analisar a genotoxicidade e a atividade proliferativa dos extratos aquosos e do óleo das folhas de manjerona sobre o ciclo celular de Allium cepa L., além de verificar a composição fitoquímica através de cromatografia. Os extratos aquosos foram preparados a partir das folhas de manjerona que foram cultivadas em ambientes distintos (campo e estufa) e com dois métodos de secagem (natural à sombra e em forno micro-ondas). Para extração do óleo essencial foram utilizadas folhas frescas. A avaliação da genotoxicidade e atividade proliferativa através do teste de Allium cepa foram conduzidas em laboratório através do delineamento inteiramente casualizado com 13 grupos de bulbos em 5 repetições. Os tratamentos foram constituídos de água destilada, glifosato 2%, infusão das folhas de manjerona com concentrações de 6 e 12 g L-1, óleo essencial diluído a 0,075% e álcool etílico. Esses tratamentos foram divididos tendo como base dois métodos de secagem de folhas: em temperatura ambiente (natural) à sombra e em forno micro-ondas, a fim da comparação da composição fitoquímica dos extratos aquosos. Para a análise genotóxica e da capacidade proliferativa foram preparadas lâminas pela técnica de esmagamento da região meristemática da raiz e coloração com orceína acética 2%, possibilitando a observação das diferentes fases da divisão mitótica durante o ciclo celular. Os resultados obtidos através do teste de Allium cepa demonstram que os tratamentos com as infusões e óleos de manjerona possuem efeito antiproliferativo e genotóxico. O óleo de manjerona 0,075% possui atividade antiproliferativa e potencial genotóxico. As análises cromatográficas indicaram que o componente majoritário dos óleos essenciais de manjerona em ambos os ambientes de cultivo foi Terpineno-4-ol, sendo que a concentração deste componente foi maior no cultivo em estufa, e nos extratos aquosos o componente majoritário foi o ácido clorogênico, com redução deste componente na produção em campo. A interação de tratamento dentro de cada ambiente de cultivo com relação ao índice mitótico mostra diferença entre as concentrações no cultivo em campo e não entre as concentrações no cultivo em estufa. A interação de tratamento dentro de cada método de secagem referente o índice mitótico nas concentrações de 6 g.L-1 e 12 g.L-1 não apresenta diferenças.

Thesis (MScConsEcol (Conservation Ecology and Entomology))--Stellenbosch University, 2008.<br>Medicinal plants represent an important asset to the livelihoods of many people in developing countries. This is the case for South Africa where most of the rural and also urban communities rely on medicinal plants for their primary healthcare needs and income generation. Harvesting for domestic usage is not generally detrimental to the wild populations of medicinal plants. However, the shift from subsistence to commercial harvesting is posing unprecedented extinction threat to the wild populations of medicinal plants. The purpose of this investigation was to: (1) document the most traded/used species of medicinal plants in the Cape Peninsula, including parts used, sourcing regions, harvesting frequencies and seasons as well as the conservation status of these species; (2) to profile and investigate the rationales for the involvement of stakeholders in medicinal plants related-activities; and to (3) assess constraints and opportunities for sustainable management of medicinal plants in the Cape Peninsula. Triangulation techniques such as semi-structured questionnaires, formal and informal interactions with key informants from the Cape Peninsula and surroundings, personal observations and field visits were used to gather relevant data for this investigation. Accordingly, about 170 medicinal plant species were found to be actively traded or used in the study area. These species were mostly traded/used for their underground parts; shoot, barks and in many cases the whole plant is uprooted. The bulk of traded/used species were from the wild populations, harvested on monthly basis and the Western and Eastern Cape provinces acted as the main source regions. Some of the traded/used species are rare, vulnerable, endangered, critically endangered and are declining from the wild. Nonetheless, there are subtitutes for some of these medicinal plant species. Traders and collectors were mainly men in the Cape Peninsula. Cultural considerations, economic conditions and the burden imposed by the number of dependents were the factors influencing local communities to engage in medicinal plants related-activities. Despite the fact that the majority of the informants acknowledged the decline of medicinal plants from wild stocks, an overwhelming number of them expected an upsurge in the future demand for natural remedy due to its popularity among South Africans. Similarly, the majority of the respondents were aware of the conservation status of the plants that they were using, but this did not prevent them from trading/using some protected species. Encouragingly, an overwhelming number of the informants were willing to use cultivated species and cultivate some of the most used medicinal plant species if seeds and land were freely provided. It is noteworthy that these results were influenced by the gender, age, category and time of involvement in medicinal plants, ethnicity and residence status of the respondents as well as the source of supply of medicinal plants. It is recommended that species that have been identified of concern should be prevented from further commercial harvesting. Competent conservation organizations like CapeNature should focus on practical skills development of people who have expressed willingness to cultivate medicinal plants or are already doing so, especially in plant propagation and basic gardening techniques.

By reason of being a plant still in the process of domestication is the need for research to define a cropping system that maximizes the production of essential oil. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the effect of adding organic fertilizer - cattle manure - and harvest times in the production of leaf biomass and essential oil O. azureus in Manaus - AM. The experiment was conducted in the Department of Medicinal Plants, Faculty of Agrarian Sciences, Federal University of Amazonas - UFAM, from Dec/2009 to set/2010. The experimental design was completely randomized in a 3x4 factorial design with four repetitions, comprising three harvest times (march, june and september) and four levels of organic fertilization with cattle manure (0%, 20%, 33% and 50%). The organic fertilization with cattle manure had an effect on leaf biomass production and essential oil of O. azureus, and the treatments with 20% and 33% were statistically equal and superior to other treatments.

Abstract:
Pelargonium sidoides DC. (Geraniaceae) root extracts are used in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa as a traditional medicine for the treatment of respiratory tract and gastro-intestinal infections. Ethanolic extracts are used globally as herbal treatments for bronchitis, asthma and as an immune system booster. Despite documented exploitation of wild populations by illegal harvesters, this species has not been awarded a protected status. The high level of harvest in the years preceding this study prompted this investigation of the prospects for sustainable root harvest through wild harvest and greenhouse cultivation. A novel method was developed for the purification of umckalin, a bioactive constituent in root extracts, such that the root umckalin concentrations of wild and cultivated plants could be quantified by HPLC. As part of the cultivation experiments, the concentration of umckalin in roots was measured for plants across part of the species’ distribution range in the Eastern Cape Province. This survey revealed that root umckalin concentrations were inversely related to the average annual rainfall of the collection site (r² = 0.94, p = 0.007) and directly related to soil pH (r² = 0.97, p = 0.002). Thus, the possibility of inducing high umckalin concentrations in greenhouse-cultivated plants was investigated by subjecting plants to rapid and prolonged water stress treatments. Two leaf applied hormone treatments (cytokinin and gibberellin) and a root competition treatment with a fast growing annual (Conyza albida) were also investigated based on the potential function of umckalin in P. sidoides plants. These five treatments did not significantly affect root umckalin concentrations compared to well-watered controls. The results of further experiments suggested that umckalin production may have been influenced by the geographical origin and genetics of plants rather than environmental variation. Following wild harvest experiments, the regrowth of replanted shoots from which a standard proportion of the root was harvested showed that water availability affected shoot survival but not root regrowth rate. Regrowth rates were low, questioning the viability of wild harvest. In contrast, greenhouse cultivated plants showed ca. six times greater growth rates, supporting the cultivation of roots to supply future market demand.

Abstract:
Medicinal and aromatic plants are intensively studied and applied in traditional and official phytotherapy. Medicinal plants can be cultivated or collected from nature. The pharmacological activity of plants is mainly due to the products of secondary metabolism. Recently, more and more attention has been paid to the study of the chemical structure and pharmacological activity of herbal drugs, which contain polyphenols due to their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect, and thus a beneficial effect on health.

Full text
Abstract:
Due to the overuse of antibiotics, antibiotic resistance has become a global health crisis, and has forced an exploration of alternative antibacterial agents. This review explores natural solutions through the antibacterial potential of medicinal plants and their symbiotic endophytic fungi. Medicinal plants have been utilized for centuries to treat infections because of their rich phytochemical content, including alkaloids, flavonoids, and saponins, which exhibit antibacterial properties. Their efficacy is measured through minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) assays, which showcase their ability to inhibit bacterial growth. Isolated compounds from medicinal plants demonstrate enhanced antibacterial activity by disrupting bacterial cell membranes, with MIC values as low as 3.0 µg/mL. However, challenges like inconsistent chemical composition and cultivation issues can limit the large-scale application of medicinal plants. Endophytic fungi, micro-fungi that reside in plant tissues, offer a promising alternative resulting from their ability to mimic the production of similar bioactive compounds. Their antibacterial activity is measured through agar well assays, and most strains inhibit both gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial growth demonstrated by zones of inhibition up to 34 mm. Unlike plants, endophytic fungi are easier to cultivate and can be optimized for mass production under controlled laboratory conditions, making them a sustainable source of novel antibiotics. By exploring the diverse chemical profiles of medicinal plants and endophytic fungi, this review demonstrates the potential of both to combat antibiotic-resistant bacteria effectively. Further research into their specific mechanisms and clinical trials is necessary to ensure their safety, but by advancing the exploration of these natural sources, they can contribute to the global effort to combat antibiotic resistance and revolutionizing the treatment of bacterial infections.

Abstract:
The approximately 270,000 known species of plants form the basis of all food chains on earth and fuel all life systems (although even this number is only a fraction of plant diversity). From this fact alone, plants should be an important part of biodiversity conservation. An overview is provided of plant classification and systematics as well as the diversity of plant physiology and ecology. Plants can also be very valuable to humans for reasons illuminated by the fields of ethnobotany (focusing on traditional uses and medicinal plants) and economic botany (looking at plant properties for novel commercial uses). Unfortunately, like animals, plants are also facing serious threats in terms of illegal trade and invasive species that need to be brought under control.

Abstract:
Maize productivity in Indonesia was still low (5.241 tons/ha) compared to the average of the ten largest maize producing countries in the world (6.179 tons/ha). The potential for maize on the island of Madura is approximately 360,000 hectares. The potential for maize cultivation in Madura continues to decrease in land quality due to improper land clearing and land-use change. The purpose of this research was to make a map of land suitability for maize using Remote Sensing Data and Geographic Information System (GIS). The land suitability method for maize plants used satellite imagery as a data source, supported by fieldwork and secondary data. Data analysis using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The results of the analysis of land suitability modeling based on agroecosystem potential found that most of the Madura area was suitable for maize cultivation. Madura island had a land area of 456,622.3ha for maize cultivation, where 170.379.5 (15.4%) was very appropriate, 211.412.3 ha (46.3%) was appropriate, 160,098.6 (35.1%) was less appropriate, and 14,732.0 ha (3.2%) was not appropriate.

Full text
Abstract:
During the granting period, we performed the following projects: Firstly, we differentially measured glucan content in several pleurotus mushroom strains. Mushroom polysaccharides are edible polymers that have numerous reported biological functions; the most common effects are attributed to β-glucans. In recent years, it became apparent that the less abundant α-glucans also possess potent effects in various health conditions. In our first study, we explored several Pleurotus species for their total, β and α-glucan content. Pleurotuseryngii was found to have the highest total glucan concentrations and the highest α-glucans proportion. We also found that the stalks (stipe) of the fruit body contained higher glucan content then the caps (pileus). Since mushrooms respond markedly to changes in environmental and growth conditions, we developed cultivation methods aiming to increase the levels of α and β-glucans. Using olive mill solid waste (OMSW) from three-phase olive mills in the cultivation substrate. We were able to enrich the levels mainly of α-glucans. Maximal total glucan concentrations were enhanced up to twice when the growth substrate contained 80% of OMSW compared to no OMSW. Taking together this study demonstrate that Pleurotuseryngii can serve as a potential rich source of glucans for nutritional and medicinal applications and that glucan content in mushroom fruiting bodies can be further enriched by applying OMSW into the cultivation substrate. We then compared the immune-modulating activity of glucans extracted from P. ostreatus and P. eryngii on phagocytosis of peripheral blood neutrophils, and superoxide release from HL-60 cells. The results suggest that the anti-inflammatory properties of these glucans are partially mediated through modulation of neutrophileffector functions (P. eryngiiwas more effective). Additionally, both glucans dose-dependently competed for the anti-Dectin-1 and anti-CR3 antibody binding. We then tested the putative anti-inflammatory effects of the extracted glucans in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) using the dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)–induced model in mice. The clinical symptoms of IBD were efficiently relieved by the treatment with two different doses of the glucan from both fungi. Glucan fractions, from either P. ostreatus or P. eryngii, markedly prevented TNF-α mediated inflammation in the DSS–induced inflamed intestine. These results suggest that there are variations in glucan preparations from different fungi in their anti-inflammatory ability. In our next study, we tested the effect of glucans on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced production of TNF-α. We demonstrated that glucan extracts are more effective than mill mushroom preparations. Additionally, the effectiveness of stalk-derived glucans were slightly more pronounced than of caps. Cap and stalk glucans from mill or isolated glucan competed dose-dependently with anti-Dectin-and anti-CR-3 antibodies, indicating that they contain β-glucans recognized by these receptors. Using the dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-inflammatory bowel disease mice model, intestinal inflammatory response to the mill preparations was measured and compared to extracted glucan fractions from caps and stalks. We found that mill and glucan extracts were very effective in downregulatingIFN-γ and MIP-2 levels and that stalk-derived preparations were more effective than from caps. The tested glucans were equally effective in regulating the number of CD14/CD16 monocytes and upregulating the levels of fecal-released IgA to almost normal levels. In conclusion, the most effective glucans in ameliorating some IBD-inflammatory associated symptoms induced by DSS treatment in mice were glucan extracts prepared from the stalk of P. eryngii. These spatial distinctions may be helpful in selecting more effective specific anti-inflammatory mushrooms-derived glucans. We additionally tested the effect of glucans on lipopolysaccharide-induced production of TNF-α, which demonstrated stalk-derived glucans were more effective than of caps-derived glucans. Isolated glucans competed with anti-Dectin-1 and anti-CR3 antibodies, indicating that they contain β-glucans recognized by these receptors. In conclusion, the most effective glucans in ameliorating IBD-associated symptoms induced by DSS treatment in mice were glucan extracts prepared from the stalk of P. eryngii grown at higher concentrations of OMSW. We conclude that these stress-induced growing conditions may be helpful in selecting more effective glucans derived from edible mushrooms. Based on the findings that we could enhance glucan content in Pleurotuseryngii following cultivation of the mushrooms on a substrate containing different concentrations of olive mill solid waste (OMSW) and that these changes are directly related to the content of OMSW in the growing substrate we tested the extracted glucans in several models. Using dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)–inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) mice model, we measured the colonic inflammatory response to the different glucan preparations. We found that the histology damaging score (HDS) resulting from DSS treatment reach a value of 11.8 ± 2.3 were efficiently downregulated by treatment with the fungal extracted glucans, glucans extracted from stalks cultivated at 20% OMSWdownregulated to a HDS value of 6.4 ± 0.5 and at 80% OMSW showed the strongest effects (5.5 ± 0.6). Similar downregulatory effects were obtained for expression of various intestinal cytokines. All tested glucans were equally effective in regulating the number of CD14/CD16 monocytes from 18.2 ± 2.7 % for DSS to 6.4 ± 2.0 for DSS +glucans extracted from stalks cultivated at 50% OMSW. We finally tested glucans extracted from Pleurotuseryngii grown on a substrate containing increasing concentrations of olive mill solid waste (OMSW) contain greater glucan concentrations as a function of OMSW content. Treatment of rat Intestinal epithelial cells (IEC-6) transiently transfected with Nf-κB fused to luciferase demonstrated that glucans extracted from P. eryngii stalks grown on 80% OMSWdownregulatedTNF-α activation. Glucans from mushrooms grown on 80% OMSW exerted the most significant reducing activity of nitric oxide production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) treated J774A.1 murine macrophages. The isolated glucans were tested in vivo using the Dextran Sodium Sulfate (DSS) induced colitis in C57Bl/6 mice and found to reduce the histology damaging score resulting from DSS treatment. Expression of various intestinal cytokines were efficiently downregulated by treatment with the fungal extracted glucans. We conclude that the stress-induced growing conditions exerted by OMSW induces production of more effective anti-inflammatory glucans in P. eryngii stalks.
