“…Potassium is accumulated inside the cell through Na + /K + pump, which helps in the regulation of insulin secretion, muscle contraction, and activation of the enzyme [23]. Decreasing the level of K in the blood showed several symptoms such as vomiting, muscle weakness, cardiac arrhythmia, and a decrease in reflex response [25]. Phosphorus plays a critical role to keep bones and teeth healthy [17].…”

Cordia obliqua is an underutilized forest tree having food, medicinal, and industrial applications. Its flower buds are in great demand and are consumed as a raw vegetable in different states of India, including Odisha. It is also used in traditional medicine to treat various diseases. However, there is a huge gap between conventional use (food and medicine) and scientific evidence. The elemental analysis (S, K, Mg, P, Mn, Ca, Fe, Zn, Ni, and Cu) of leaves and flower buds was performed by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrophotometry. The elements found in significant quantities are K (18740 mg/Kg), P (1530 mg/Kg), Fe (71.9 mg/Kg), and Cu (22.5 mg/Kg) in flower buds. In contrast, the major elements found in leaf samples are S (2280 mg/Kg), Mg (1400 mg/Kg), Mn (1700 mg/Kg), Ca (957 mg/Kg), Zn (58 mg/Kg), and Ni (23 mg/Kg). Nutritional analysis of flower buds revealed the presence of carbohydrates (38.7 mg/dry weight), proteins (89 mg/g dry weight), fiber (127 mg/g in dry weight), and Vitamin C (2.5 mg/g dry weight). In contrast, the leaves consist of carbohydrates (26.9 mg/g dry weight), proteins (30.4 mg/g dry weight), fiber (127 mg/g in dry weight), and Vitamin C (5.0 mg/g dry weight). The flower buds also have high antioxidant activity. Sufficient nutritional value was obtained from both the leaves and flower buds of C. obliqua, which could fulfill the required amount of diet supplements as per the suggestion of Nutrition Requirements and Recommended Dietary Allowance.

“…Such rhizoclones could be utilised for the sustainable production of medicinally useful phytocompounds. Swain et al ( 2012b ) also studied the elemental composition of A. rhizogenesmediated genetically transformed in vitro rhizoclones and further compared it with the elemental composition of in vivo roots. The two macroelements, viz.…”

Biotechnological Strategies for the Conservation of Medicinal and Ornamental Climbers

India is endowed with a rich wealth of medicinal plants which are widely used by all sections of people either directly as folk medicines or indirectly in the pharmaceutical preparations. Among them climbing plants are one of the most interesting groups as, apart from being medicinally important, they form an important structural component and contribute major ecological role in forest dynamics, diversity and nutrient recycling. Due to their multiple uses, there is a need for creating genetically improved germplasm of climbers containing traits of disease resistance, stress tolerance, faster growth, good adaptability, improved performance and other value-added traits in particular. However, conventional breeding programs are usually of low effi ciency and time consuming for woody species because of their long juvenile period. Current status of the molecular approaches for integrative genetic transformation of highly medicinal climbers is reviewed.
