Unveiling Cannabinoids and Terpenes Diversity in Cannabis sativa L. from Northern India for Future Breeding Strategies.

Cannabis sativa L. is an important medicinal plant with high commercial value. In recent years, the research interest in cannabidiol (CBD) and terpene-rich cannabis has been rapidly expanding due to their high therapeutic potential.

Vindoline is a key component of Catharanthus roseus leaf juice extract prepared through an Ayurveda-based method for ameliorating insulin-resistant type 2 diabetes.

Catharanthus roseus leaves have been traditionally described to possess potent antidiabetic activity and some leaf-specific alkaloids, including vindoline, have been studied for their antidiabetic potential. The aim of the present study was to validate the antidiabetic property of the plant with special reference to vindoline. An Ayurveda-based method was used to prepare the Swaras [leaf juice extract (LJE)] of three familial C.

Assessing the impact of microplastics on gonadal health of the spadenose shark (Scoliodon laticaudus) on the west coast of India.

Pollutants such as microplastics (MPs) are detrimental to the health of humans, animals and reduce the quality of the environment. These particles can be ingested and accumulate in marine biota through the food chain leading to adverse effects on various physiological processes. Sharks, which typically occupy higher trophic levels in the marine food chain, may exhibit the highest accumulation of MPs.

An Insight Review on Phytochemistry, Pharmacological Evidences, and Biosynthesis of Key Metabolites of Indian Himalayan Cherry (Prunus cerasoides Don.) with Emphasis on its Safety and Use in Tradtional Phytomedicine.

Padmaka (Prunus cerasoides Don.), or wild Himalayan cherry, is a deciduous tree from the Rosaceaae family. The Prunus genus has 400-430 species, including shrubs and trees.

Shifted baselines: Using the adaptive cycle to assess the post-tsunami mangrove social-ecological system recovery in the Nicobar Islands.

The 2004 tsunami and coastal subsidence resulted in 97% mangrove loss in the Nicobar Islands (India), leading to major social-ecological change. We assessed how the Nicobar mangrove social-ecological system (SES) responded to the 2004 event using the adaptive cycle (AC) framework. We describe the changes across AC phases (collapse-Ω, reorganisation-α, growth-r, and conservation-K) concerning various capital types (natural, built, human, social), connectedness and resilience.
