“…Earlier studies on Heliotropium supinum study the Physiological and chemical compounds like as studied of (Gokulnath, et al, 2014, Hussein, et al, 2013and Subramanian, et al, 2013. Hence, very few studies refer to the anatomical parts of this plant.…”

In this study a compare between the morphological and anatomical structure parts of the species Heliotropium supinum in Turkey specifically from Pamukkale were carried out to diagnostic the characters of it, this will helping to identify parts of this species. It had been found that the species reached to 0.55 m in height, the stem cylindrical, hairy and fleshy and the inflorescences are hilioscopia and the flower convolution in double rows also the cross section of stem appear that the shape of stem oval and the epidermis surface is wavy and covered by trichomes, cortex consists from 4-6 layered of collenchyma beneath the epidermis and 7-11 layered of parenchyma also can discrimination ten specialized schizogenous intercellular space in the cortex that store the active compounds, phloem element and xylem are noted and the pith at the center with abounded resin ducts. The transverse sections of the leaves showed that the upper and lower epidermis is single layer irregular in shape with sinuous and thick walls covering by unicellular and uniseriate trichomes, follow the epidermis two palisade layers, under it three spongy layers, midrib of leaf consists of a single layer of epidermis covering by unicellular and uniseriate trichomes and collenchyma layer beneath the epidermis so the parenchyma tissues is full up the inside of midrib, vascular bundle open and collateral, crescent shaped, consists of xylem and phloem. The petiole of leaf drumstick or bone shape, the epidermal cells 4-5, wavy on the adaxial and abaxial side and covering by trichomes, stomata are on the adaxial and abaxial surface, anisocytic type. The scanning study of mature pollen grains of Heliotropium supinum showed that the pollen small size, prolatespheroidal shape, monoporate and the exine sculpturing psilate.

Micromorphological and phytochemical studies play a major role in quality control and standardization of traditional or herbal medications. In the present research, micromorphological assessment of Heliotropium rarifloum stocks was performed through light and scanning electron microscopies (LM & SEM). The anatomy of leaves, stem and root showed salient histological features. Both surfaces of the leaves had setose glandular trichomes measuring 20–38 × 6–15 µm. The lower epidermis had comparatively a maximum anomocytic stomata (16–35) and stomatal index (12–33). The mature pollen grains were small (74 µm) and spheroidal shaped, with psilate exine (2 μm) sculpturing. Vein termination and vein islet number of the upper epidermis were 5–20 and 5–15, respectively. The palisade ratio of the leaf lamina for the upper and lower epidermis was 2–10 and 2–8. LM and SEM of the powdered samples displayed crystals, phloem fibers, xylem, vessels, sieve tube elements, companion cells, and tracheids. Extractive values determination, fluorescence, and phytochemical analysis were employed for quality control according to the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Phytochemical screening revealed various secondary metabolites. It is suggested that H. rariflorum might be a reliable source of nutrients and secondary metabolites and might be more medically effective. The current findings confirm its standardization and validation.

Flowers have played a significant role in society, focusing on their aesthetic value rather than their food potential. This study’s goal was to look into flowering plants for everything from health benefits to other possible applications. This review presents detailed information on 119 species of flowers with agri-food and health relevance. Data were collected on their family, species, common name, commonly used plant part, bioremediation applications, main chemical compounds, medicinal and gastronomic uses, and concentration of bioactive compounds such as carotenoids and phenolic compounds. In this respect, 87% of the floral species studied contain some toxic compounds, sometimes making them inedible, but specific molecules from these species have been used in medicine. Seventy-six percent can be consumed in low doses by infusion. In addition, 97% of the species studied are reported to have medicinal uses (32% immune system), and 63% could be used in the bioremediation of contaminated environments. Significantly, more than 50% of the species were only analysed for total concentrations of carotenoids and phenolic compounds, indicating a significant gap in identifying specific molecules of these bioactive compounds. These potential sources of bioactive compounds could transform the health and nutraceutical industries, offering innovative approaches to combat oxidative stress and promote optimal well-being.
