“…It is an armed scandent, erect shrub, small tree 6 m tall or more, with dense foliage and found in hot valleys of Himalayas. [1] According to Indian traditional System, the seeds and fruits are used in fever as an aromatic tonic, cholera and dyspepsia. The seeds possess antiseptic, disinfectant and deodorant potency and used in the treatment of toothache and scabies.…”

Background: Zanthoxylum alatum Roxb (ZA) also known as 'Indian Prickly Ash' is a member of the Rutaceae family. It is native to the Himalayas, Jammu and Kashmir, Andhra Pradesh, and various other parts of India and is an important medicinal plant species. The stem bark of the plant is known to be a particularly rich source of medicinal compounds, and it is frequently utilized as an anti-diabetic, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory agent. Despite the high therapeutic efficacy of bark, nothing is known about the requirements for its standardization. Since the quality control and standardization qualities of the product must be thoroughly documented, of the stem bark of Zanthoxylum alatum Roxb was produced as a result of the current research, which may be seen here. As part of this research, the stem bark of Z. alatum was harvested, dried in the shade, and then pulverised. The establishment of pharmacognostical standards was accomplished via the use of techniques such as microand macroscopy, physicochemical parameters, extractive values, and fluorescence analysis. Results: There were numerous distinguishing traits in the stem bark of Z. alatum Roxb that were discovered using macroscopic, microscopic, and physical-chemical criteria. Conclusion: This is the first research to provide a comprehensive pharmacognostic profile of the stem bark of Z. alatum Roxb, and it will be a helpful source of information in the development of pharmacognostic criteria for identification, purity, quality, and categorization of Z. alatum Roxb stem bark.

“…Zanthoxylum alatum Roxb., commonly known as tejphal, timur, or timber, is used to treat bronchitis, asthma, cholera, fever, skin diseases, indigestion, and toothache. Leaves of this plant are reported to have hepatoprotective activity (Annappan et al, 2015 ). To date, plant-growth promoting endophytic bacteria with stress tolerance have not been reported from the medicinal plant Z. alatum Roxb.…”

Endophytes are an important constituent of sustainable agriculture because of their ability to produce a large number of agriculturally important metabolites. A salt-tolerant fluorescent green pigment-producing endophytic bacterium was isolated on 2.5% NaCl-supplemented nutrient agar from the leaf samples of Zanthoxylum alatum Roxb. The isolate Z1B4 was identified as Pseudomonas fluorescens based on morphological features, fatty acid methyl ester analysis, biochemical tests, and 16S rRNA gene sequencing. P. fluorescens Z1B4 showed positive results for tricalcium phosphate solubilization; 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate (ACC) deaminase activity; and production of auxins, siderophores, hydrogen cyanide, and ammonia. P. fluorescens Z1B4 also showed strong antagonistic activity against Curvularia lunata (MTCC 283), Fusarium verticillioides (MTCC 3322), and Alternaria alternata (MTCC 1362) and exhibited stress tolerance to a wide range of temperature and pH and concentrations of NaCl and calcium salts. Under natural conditions, following inoculation with the isolate Z1B4, a significant increase in the growth of pea and maize test plants in pots was observed compared to that of uninoculated control plants. The rifampicin-resistant mutant Z1B4 Rif was recovered from the roots, shoots, and leaves of the test plants, indicating that the isolated endophytic bacterium can grow well within different plant tissues. The present study indicated that the endophytic bacterium P. fluorescens Z1B4 can be used as a bacterial inoculant in stressed environments for sustainable agriculture.

Traditionally it is used by the Bhotiya communities for food, medicines and exchange in the Uttaranchal, Himalaya of India. The Zanthoxylum armatum fruit is used by the Bhotiyas of Pithoragarh district of Kumaon region while those of the Kamoli district of Garhwal have developed the collection and trade of Z. armatum sticks to pilgrims visiting the shrines of Badrinath, Kedarnath, Gangotri and Yamunotri. 2 The fruits, bark and leaves are used as spice, in the Indian medicine system. Definition Zanthoxylum armatum known as winged prickly ash is a species of plant in the Rutaceae family. It is an aromatic deciduous, spiny shrub growing to 3.5 meters in height, endemic to China, Japan, Korea and India. Zanthoxylum armatum is a wild plant and mostly used as a condiment and medicine and have other medicinal properties.
