“…Daily consumption of cooked pods of P. roxburghii does not impose any significant adverse effect [ 218 ]. However, eating raw pods may result in bad breath owing to its rich content in volatile disulfide compounds, which are exhaled in breath and the odor can persist for several hours (Meyer, 1987).…”

The genus Parkia (Fabaceae, Subfamily, Mimosoideae) comprises about 34 species of mostly evergreen trees widely distributed across neotropics, Asia, and Africa. This review aims to provide an overview of the current status of the species from the genus Parkia in terms of its relationship between its phytochemistry and medical uses. Comprehensive information on Parkia species was retrieved from electronic databases, which were Web of Science, ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Google Scholar. This review identified nine species from genus Parkia with properties of medicinal use. They are used traditionally to treat several ailments, such as diabetes, diarrhea, wounds, hypertension, cough, chronic piles, conjunctivitis, and measles. The most common species studied are P. biglobosa, P. speciosa, P. javanica, P. bicolor, P. biglandulosa, P. filicoidea, and P. clappertoniana. A considerable number of secondary metabolites, such as terpenoids, phenolic acids, flavonoids (aglycone and glycosides), and numerous volatile compounds have been identified in this genus, which are responsible for their diverse pharmacological activities. Their extracts, pure compounds and seed lectins have been reported for their anticancer, antimicrobial, antihypertensive, antiulcer, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimalarial, hepatoprotective, and antidiarrheal activities. The information gathered in this review might be of help for future studies in terms of the current knowledge on the link between the phytochemical components and medicinal uses. This could facilitate more discoveries on its potentials particularly in the pharmacological characteristics and potential to be developed into modern medicines.

“…), and cempedak ( Artocarpus integer ) provide important genetic resources for crop improvement and diversification of their domesticated relatives. Moreover, several species such as Parkia timoriana (forest petai; Angami et al., 2018), Sandoricum koetjape (sentul; Narendra et al., 2013), Irvingia malayana (wild almond; Cruz‐Garcia & Price, 2011), Artocarpus spp. (jackfruit relatives; Gajaseni & Gajaseni, 1999), Dillenia indica (elephant apple; Sekar & Sukumar, 2013), and Dracontomelon dao (Pacific walnut; Van Hoang et al., 2008) are either cultivated or their wild fruits harvested as a source of income by villagers around South‐East Asia.…”

Long‐term monitoring of seed dispersal by Asian elephants in a Sundaland rainforest

et al. 2021

Asian elephants (Elephas maximus) have inhabited almost all forests in tropical Asia until recently, yet little is known about their role in ecological processes, particularly in the Sundaic forests of SouthEast Asia. These forests are peculiar in their phenology, with supra-annual and highly irregular episodes of mast fruiting. Here, we present a long-term (6-year) monitoring of the seeds dispersed by elephants in dipterocarp forests of northern Peninsular Malaysia. We conducted monthly dung surveys at two mineral licks (11.3 km apart) frequently visited by elephants. Additionally, we recorded haphazard observations of seeds and seedlings in elephant dung at other locations. We recorded a minimum of 48 morphospecies from at least 25 plant families dispersed by elephants. Elephant seed dispersal was very heterogenous in space, with only 30.3% of the morphospecies dispersed at both sites (Jaccard dissimilarity index = 0.48). Temporally, elephants dispersed seeds in sporadic pulses of abundance and diversity, without any apparent seasonality (seeds appeared in 19.1% of 1,284 dung piles and 57.1% of the 63 months in which we found dung) and with long periods without any seed being dispersed. Nearly half (48%) of the plants dispersed by elephants belong to a megafaunal dispersal syndrome. Our long-term approach allowed us to unravel an important aspect of Asian elephants' role and effectiveness in the seed dispersal cycle. Sundaland's forests are undergoing a rapid loss of their previously common megaherbivores (rhinos and elephants), with profound and long-term consequences for ecosystem functioning.

“…Pods and seeds are sources of protein, fat, fibre and minerals (Longvah et al 1998;Salam et al 2009), and are a delicacy among people of northeast India; the pods are fetch a market value ranging from US$ 3-5 kg -1 (Rocky and Sahoo 2004). Other important uses of the tree include antioxidants, ethnomedicine, cosmetics, and firewood for the energy-deficient hill people (Angami et al 2018). Enhancing the production of the species may reduce malnutrition for many people (>60%) in the region who suffer from lack of food (Longvah et al 1998;Salam et al 2010).…”

We studied variations on different traits of (D.C.) Merr. in twelve provenances systematically from their source of origin to a controlled environment where representative seedlings were grown. Among the provenances, P1 gave the best result for seed traits including germination traits, P7 for pod traits and P10 for seedling vigour. Effects of seasonal distribution of rainfall and temperature on seed and pod traits were also determined by computing multiple regression analysis. The results displayed winter rainfall and summer temperature as the most important factor determining pod and seed traits. Latitude also significantly (Pâ<â0.001) affected PWT (râ=â0.52), SWP (râ=â0.46) and SW (râ=â0.50). A common garden study for germination and seedling growth indicated P1 and P10 provenance as the best among all. Seeds drawn from P10 gave the highest seedling vigour with an average growth rate of 0.61 cm/day from 90th to 180th day. Highest broad-sense heritability values (h) were observed in germination traits, followed by seedling collar diameter. The lowest h was observed for seedling height.Parkia timoriana22
