“…The essential oils were extracted using a Clevenger apparatus by removing 25 gm of the ground material, adding 500 ml of glass, adding 250 ml of distilled water, and heating at 60-80°C for 4 hours. The essential oil compounds were separated using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis (Zhang et al, 2020).…”

“…The genus consists of 49 genera and 1,300 species (Altman & Marcussen, 2001). Rhizomes are very popular in Asian folk medicine, and their traditional uses are widespread worldwide; they are used mainly as flavoring agents for foods and beverages and as herbal remedies (Blanco et al, 2016;Liu et al, 2019;Zhang et al, 2020). Altman and Marcussen (2001) reported that essential oils are rich in secondary metabolites, including sesquiterpene hydrocarbons and monoterpenoids such as α-zingiberene, ar-curcumene, β-bisabolene, β-sesquiphyllandrene, terpenes, borneol, geranial, camphene, terphineol, geraniol, limonene, β-elemene, zingiberol, and linalool.…”

Zingiber officinale Roscoe is a perennial herb belonging to the Zingiberaceae family. The chemical compounds were identified by Gas chromatography‒mass spectrometry, the results showed that 38 components found in Z. officinale, beta-Sesquiphellandrene had the highest percentage was (28.94%), followed by 2- Butanone, 4-(2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-yl)-, (R)- (16.82%), alpha.-Farnesene (14.45%). The rest of the compounds constituted a smaller percentage, they were represented by Zingiberene, beta.-Phellandrene, Camphene, 1,8-Cineole, Alpha-Cedrene, Elemol, and Shogaol. Histological sections of the adrenal gland treated with atenolol drug showed that the cortex composed of atrophied zona granulosa, vascularized and inflamed zona fasciculate and sever inflammation of zona reticularis, the medulla appear with mild hemorrhage extended between the chromaffin cells, the parenchyma of the medulla consist of loosely, disorganized into clusters and cords resemble the epithelial, the cells large is size, polyhedral shape and appear empty in sections separated by sinusoidal capillaries while the deep layer is zona reticularis formed by pink stained cells and irregular arrangement. While in adrenal gland treated with Z. officinale showed more normal histological sections, so that treated with (atenolol and Z. officinale) showed mild moderate changes in different adrenal zona, the zona glomerulosa showed normal structure, small cluster beneath the capsule with crowded nuclei, mild hemorrhage area and the cells appeared resemble the lipoblasts.

“…Species in the family Araliaceae are widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of both the northern and southern hemispheres, with less diversity in temperate regions 1,9 . These species are well known as useful biological resources for both medicinal (Panax, Aralia, Eleutherococcus, Heteropanax, Kalopanax, Tetrapanax, and Fatsia) and ornamental (Hedera, Dendropanax, and Schefflera) purposes, with many studies having investigated the medicinal properties of Araliaceae species [10][11][12][13][14][15][16] .…”

The Araliaceae contain many valuable species in medicinal and industrial aspects. We performed intensive phylogenomics using the plastid genome (plastome) and 45S nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences. A total of 66 plastome sequences were used, 13 of which were newly assembled in this study, 12 from new sequences, and one from existing data. While Araliaceae plastomes showed conserved genome structure, phylogenetic reconstructions based on four different plastome datasets revealed phylogenetic discordance within the Asian Palmate group. The divergence time estimation revealed that splits in two Araliaceae subfamilies and the clades exhibiting phylogenetic discordances in the Asian Palmate group occurred at two climatic optima, suggesting that global warming events triggered species divergence, particularly the rapid diversification of the Asian Palmate group during the Middle Miocene. Nucleotide substitution analyses indicated that the Hydrocotyloideae plastomes have undergone accelerated AT-biased mutations (C-to-T transitions) compared with the Aralioideae plastomes, and the acceleration may occur in their mitochondrial and nuclear genomes as well. This implies that members of the genus Hydrocotyle, the only aquatic plants in the Araliaceae, have experienced a distinct evolutionary history from the other species. We also discussed the intercontinental disjunction in the genus Panax and proposed a hypothesis to complement the previously proposed hypothesis. Our results provide the evolutionary trajectory of Araliaceae and advance our current understanding of the evolution of Araliaceae species.

Biological Activities of Zingiber officinale Roscoe Essential Oil against Fusarium spp.: A Minireview of a Promising Tool for Biocontrol

Zingiber officinale Roscoe is an herbal plant native to Asia that can be found in all tropical countries. It is used in folk medicine, food, and cosmetics. A chemical characterization and some agronomic experiments have been carried out on Z. officinale essential oil, showing promising findings for the biological control of fungal pathogens belonging to the genus Fusarium. The aim of this review is to collect and update the literature covering its phytochemistry and biological activities as a Fusarium spp. plant-based biocide. The present research was conducted using the following bibliographic databases: Scifinder, Pubmed, and Science Direct. Thirteen papers were selected based on the adopted criteria. Data were independently extracted by the three authors of this work, and the final article selections were completed in a manner that avoided the duplication of data. The main chemical compounds were α-zingiberene, geranial, and aryl-curcumene, but a remarkable difference was found concerning the chemical compositions. Z. officinale essential oil was shown to possess promising biological functions against Fusarium spp. These findings offer new research approaches and potential applications as a biocontrol ingredient for Z. officinale essential oil.
