“…N. sativa is a rabi crop and seeds 173 of this crop are sown in the month of November and harvested in March or April. Sandy and loamy soil with pH 6.85, having 0.78% organic carbon is ideal for its cultivation [3,4]. The morphology of N. sativa flowers comprises 5 to 10 petals with color ranging from white, yellow, pink, pale blue to pale purple ( Figure 1).…”

Medicinal and aromatic plants and their refined natural products have gained global attraction for their therapeutic potential against many human diseases. Nigella sativa is a medicinally important plant, commonly known as Black cumin or Black seed is a dicotyledon plant of the Ranunculaceae family. It is in common use for a longer time in history as preservative and spice and has also been extensively utilized by different communities around the globe. Black cumin has been an eminent component of traditional medicine systems like Unani and Tibb, Ayurveda and Siddha. Its biological activities include antidiarrheal, analgesic, antibacterial, liver tonic, diurectic, digestive agent and to treat several skin disorders. Furthermore, the therapeutic properties also include antidiabetic, anticancer, antihypertensive, anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, spasmolytic and bronchodialator. This is all because of its miraculous healing power that it has been ranked as top ranked, among evidence based herbal medicines. The literature supports that the pharmacological activities of Nigella sativa are mainly because of the essential oil and its constituents particularly thymoquinone. The current review is an attempt to present a detailed literature survey regarding chemical composition, phytochemistry, therapeutic potential and biotechnological approaches to enhance the medicinal potential of this valuable plant.

Plant reproduction is highly susceptible to temperature stress. The development of the male gametophyte in particular represents a critical element in the reproductive cycle with high sensitivity to elevated temperatures. Various methods have been used to test the effect of temperature stress on pollen performance or to determine the degree of susceptibility of given species and genotypes. The information gained informs the development of new crop varieties suited to grow under warmer conditions arising through climate change and facilitates predicting the behavior of natural populations under these conditions. The characterization of pollen performance typically employs the terms pollen viability and pollen vigor, which, however, are not necessarily used consistently across studies. Pollen viability is a nominal parameter and is often assayed relying on cellular features as proxy to infer the capability of pollen grains to germinate and complete double fertilization. Alternatively, pollen germination can be determined through in vitro growth assays, or by monitoring the ability of pollen tubes to complete different progamic steps in vivo (ability to reach an ovule, release sperm cells, lead to seed set). Pollen vigor is an ordinal parameter that describes pollen tube growth rate or the efficiency of pollen tube growth as inferred by its morphology or growth pattern. To ensure consistent and relevant terminology, this review defines these terms and summarizes the methodologies used to assess them.
