Abstract:

We analyze and compare plant knowledge and uses of medicinal and edible plants of two rural communities located in different phytogeographic regions. We hypothesize that there are differences in the number of edible and medicinal plants that people know and use between these communities because of environmental constraints. In addition, because of cultural erosion, we expect to find (a) a higher number of plants that people know as useful in comparison with the number of plants they actually use, and (b) a decrease in the number of useful plants cited when comparing male/female and younger/old

Abstract:

Diabetes is one of the common diseases in modern society, which cannot be cured. It has a significant impact on the lives of patients. Type II diabetes patients mainly rely on oral hypoglycemic drugs and insulin injection to maintain blood sugar balance. While traditional hypoglycemic medications such as insulin, biguanides, and sulfonylureas may reduce blood glucose for a brief period of time, it often has some side effects and can lead to body dependence. Therefore, as a safe and economical natural hypoglycemic plant polysaccharide, it has received more and more attention. Natural active ing

ABSTRACT The use of natural compounds from plants can provide an alternative approach against food-borne pathogens. The mechanisms of action of most plant extracts with antimicrobial activity have been poorly studied. In this work, changes in membrane integrity, membrane potential, internal pH (pHin), and ATP synthesis were measured in V ibrio cholerae cells after exposure to extracts of edible and medicinal plants. A preliminary screen of methanolic, ethanolic, and aqueous extracts of medicinal and edible plants was performed. Minimal bactericidal concentrations (MBCs) were measured for extra

Plants play a pivotal role in human medicine, offering a vast array of bioactive compounds with therapeutic properties. As the main producers in most water habitats, aquatic plants are crucial. Though the aquatic habitat is rich in plant species, little research has been done on their medicinal potential. Some studies studied aquatic flora's ethno-medicinal, economic, and edible functions. Aquatic plants contain unique biological properties that could be used in agriculture, ornamentation, nutraceuticals, horticulture, and medicine.

Abstract:

Guizhou, a mountainous province located in southwestern China, has a great diversity of species of wild plants due to its temperate climate and abundant rainfall. Since Guizhou is rich in wild vegetables, the mountaineers there tend to take wild vegetables as medicine instead of going to hospital when they are sick. For instance, they often use cochin-chinese asparagus to cure constipation, cudweed and britlethistle to cure cough with sputa, shortlobed wormwood to cure epistaxis and melena, hirsute shiny to cure irregular menstruation of women, common self-heal to cure high blood pressure, lon

Abstract:

Growing rates of fungal infections and increasing resistance against standard antifungal drugs can cause serious health problems. There is, therefore, increasing interest in the potential use of medicinal plants as novel antifungal agents. This study investigates the antifungal properties of crude plant extracts from ten medicinal plant species. Crude samples were extracted using the hot water extraction process. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) and diameter zone of inhibition were determined in each extract against ten fungal strains, and fluconazole was used as a positive control.
