However, scientific studies on the nutritional and other pharmaceuticals/biological activities of these fruits are meagre. Hence, the present study dealt with the quantification of nutritional quality and deciphering the bioactivity of nutgall ( Murray syn.

- Plants experience significant yield losses (up to 50%) due to various abiotic stresses, particularly drought, which presents a challenge for global food production.
- Out of 205 bacterial cultures tested for moisture stress tolerance, 16 showed potential in enhancing plant growth under water-limited conditions, primarily from the Streptomyces and Pseudomonas species.
- Application of selected bacterial strains to tomato plants under water stress improved growth, reduced lipid peroxidation, and resulted in higher yield and better fruit quality compared to untreated plants.

- Oxidative stress contributes significantly to various health issues, and natural antioxidants are preferred for long-term use due to safety concerns with synthetic alternatives.
- The study focuses on the antioxidant and anticancer properties of a wild edible plant found in Manipur, India, using various assays to assess its effectiveness against oxidative stress and cancer cells.
- Results indicate that the plant extract has a high polyphenol content, exhibits strong antioxidant activity, and demonstrates cytotoxic effects against several cancer cell lines, along with inhibitory effects on zebrafish embryo development, suggesting its potential as a natural therapeutic agent.
Comparative study on phenolic, flavonoids and antioxidant activity of wild edible plants from Loktak Lake wetland ecosystem under North East Indian Himalayan Region.
Nat Prod Res
December 2021
The present study investigates the antioxidant activity of 28 wild edible plants (WEPs) resources of Loktak Lake wetland ecosystem of Manipur, North East Indian Himalayan Region and their correlation with phenolics and flavonoids. Antioxidant activity was measured by DPPH, ABTS and FRAP assay. The antioxidant capacity was found to wide ranges of 1.
