L. (Cannaceae) roots and rhizomes were reported to possess various biological properties like antimicrobial, anthelmintic potential and HIV-1 reverse transcriptase inhibition. In our previous studies, they showed antidiabetic activity on normal rats and rats co-addicted with caffeine and nicotine. In the pursuit of the phytochemical/s responsible for these biological activities, present study was aimed at phytochemical evaluation of hydroalcoholic extract (HAE) of L. roots and rhizomes; including preliminary screening, thin layer chromatography, H-NMR and HR-LC/MS-MS analysis. After preliminary detection of flavonoids, tannins and sterols, HAE was tested for presence of β-sitosterol using TLC. H-NMR spectrum of HAE revealed the presence of around 761 deshielded protons corresponding to different polar compounds. HR-LC/MS-MS analysis carried out at both positive and negative ion mode, indicated the presence of more than 90 compounds including short fragment of peptide. As per METLIN database, predicted major phytochemicals were 3'-hydroxytrimethoprim, 3,7-epoxycaryophyllan-6-one, swietenine, typhasterol, hexacosanedioic acid and 3β, 6α,7α-trihydroxy-5β-cholan-24-oic acid few of which, are biologically active.

Background: Non-structural carbohydrates (NSCs) are key substances for metabolic processes in plants, providing energy for growth, development, and responses to environmental stress. Pruning mother bamboo in a clump can significantly affect the NSCs allocation of new shoots, thereby affecting their growth. Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) is an important economic bamboo species with a highest planting area in China.

Understanding the change in plant-associated microbial diversity and secondary metabolite biosynthesis in medicinal plants due to their cultivation in non-natural habitat (NNH) is important to maintain their therapeutic importance. Here, the bacterial endomicrobiome of Podophyllum hexandrum plants of natural habitat (NH; Kardang and Triloknath locations) and NNH (Palampur location) was identified and its association with the biosynthesis of podophyllotoxin (PTOX) was revealed. Rhizomes (source of PTOX) of plants of NH had highest endophytic bacterial diversity compared to NNH-plants.

Wetland macrophytes play a critical role in the performance of treatment wetlands (TWs), primarily through nutrient uptake. However, this retention is temporary, as nutrients are released back into the water upon the decomposition of plant litter. The removal of stored nutrients from TWs can be efficiently achieved by harvesting plants during the peak of the growing season, albeit with significant ecological disturbance.
