Pegagan or Centella asiatica is one of the wild plants that has not experienced domestication. Countries in the Eastern have been concerned about conserving medicinal plants to the sustainability of medicinal and aromatic plants. The content of secondary metabolites in Centella asiatica has been known; those are several saponin compounds, including asiaticoside, madeccasoside, and asiatic acid. This study’s goal was to determine the content of secondary metabolites of asiaticoside, madeccasoside and asiatic acid at the top (leaves and petioles) and the bottom (roots and tendrils) with a harvest age of 12 weeks after planting (WAP). The planting site was in the lowlands of Deli Serdang, in which the measuring method used the HPLC tool. According to the results, Centella asiatica, harvested at 12 WAP, had a higher content of asiaticoside and madeccasoside in the roots and tendrils than in the leaves and petioles, while the content of asiatic acid was higher in the leaves and petioles than in the roots and tendrils. The bioactive compounds contained in Pegagan (Centella asiatica) are very efficacious for various diseases. Cultivation is carried out to avoid the loss of germplasm and genetic diversity in nature so that a balance in nature can be achieved.

AbstractSudan has a tremendous wealth flora due to its unique geographical location and diverse climate. Vast records of plants and plants’ secondary metabolites are reported to possess redox capacity and can be exploited for the biosynthesis of nanoparticles. Plant-mediated synthesis of silver nanoparticles is preferred due to their availability and their various metabolites. The present review explores the potentiality and diversity of biological activities of silver nanoparticles that originated from the combination of silver and phyto-constituents of mostly traditionally used Sudanese medicinal and aromatic plants. The green synthesis methods of silver nanoparticles mediated by more than 45 traditionally used medicinal plants are critically reviewed. In addition, parameters that affect the synthesis of plant-mediated silver nanoparticles, their characterization techniques and various biological activities are summarized and discussed. Thus, the study of green synthesis of silver nanoparticles and its applications can be extended to involve vast plant diversity of Sudan.

Medicinal plants, which are used as drugs to prevent diseases, maintain health or cure diseases, take place in areas such as nutrition, cosmetics, body care, incense or religious ceremonies, while aromatic plants are used in different industrial areas to give fragrance and taste are used. Flora of Turkey has a rich plant diversity. Secondary metabolites such as essential oils, alkaloids, glycosides, saponins etc. are the most basic products of the industry directly or indirectly. The vast majority of medicinal and aromatic plants rich in secondary metabolites exhibit strong biological activity (antioxidant, antibacterial, etc.). Therefore, these secondary metabolites are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry. The most common and practical use of secondary metabolites, which are also used as natural insecticides, is in the form of herbal tea. In recent years, the more side effects of synthetic origin substances, especially the resistance of organisms against synthetic drugs used as antimicrobials, have increased the importance of natural herbal resources and medicinal plants carrying these substances. Therefore, there is no doubt that the demand for secondary metabolites, which are natural products, will increase in the future. Flora of Turkey is an important source for natural products which will be developed newly.

Abstract The concept of rural development, it stems from many factors and variables circumstantial of area as rural tourism, agritourism, products of territory, in our case the medicinal and aromatic plants. In this paper we estimate the land fund by purpose and destination of use is grouped into three categories, where the third, with about 53 thousand hectares, is less fertile, affected by erosion, and should be used with priority. Their expansion results to be 67% in mountain areas, 31% in hilly areas and only 2% in lowland areas. The more effective alternative according to our agriculture theory and practice is that of the aromatic and medicinal plants (medicinal and aromatic plants) that have multi-dimensional cultivating interests for our country, conditioned by the climatic and soil conditions as well as the economic and organizational conditions of a range of stakeholders related to the aromatic and medicinal plants, such as their growers, collectors, aggregators, processors and traders (exporters). In terms of our country the aromatic and medicinal plants have two main situations: From the wild, outdoor and, b) Cultivated, in increasingly growing areas, in different areas and with differentiated practices. Among the the aromatic and medicinal plants in complexity, sage, thyme and oregano have obvious superiority in area planted and the production realized out of their total. The advantage of the aromatic and medicinal plants results in full use of agricultural land, in a broader employment of free labor force (mainly women), increase of income, increase of their exports, which currently account for about 52-54 % of the total that agriculture as a whole realizes in the last years, etc.

Abstract Background: With the increasing use of traditional herbal medicine, the issue of the genetic diversity of medicinal plants has received considerable critical attention. A high degree of genetic diversity is the basis for maintaining the stability and long-term survival of the population, so the changes in genetic diversity and genetic structure of cultivated medicinal plants caused by habitat changes can not be ignored; Meanwhile, the difference of secondary metabolism of medicinal plants caused by habitat change is also deserving of attention simultaneously. And It is also worth pondering whether the changes between them are consistent. Results: In this study, the wild and cultivated populations of Polygonatum odoratum, Dioscorea nipponica and Acanthopanax sessiliflorus were selected as the research objects. and the genetic structure and HPLC fingerprint between wild and cultivated populations were compared and analyzed by using Simple Sequence Repeats (SSR) marker and HPLC . The results demonstrated that the wild and cultivated populations of the three medicinal plants maintained higher genetic diversity, however, the genetic structure of wild populations of P.odoratum and D.nipponica is more similar. In addition, there was a great genetic differentiation between P.odoratum and D.nipponica populations. There were significant differences in HPLC fingerprints among different populations, in which the secondary metabolites of wild populations were more complex, nevertheless, there was less difference in HPLC fingerprints between wild and cultivated populations of P.odoratum and D.nipponica. Spearman correlation analysis implied that environmental factors (including soil environmental factors, rainfall, temperature) had significant effects on the secondary metabolites of the three medicinal plants, whereas, soil environmental factors had less effect on the genetic structure of the three medicinal plants. Conclusion: In conclusion, during the cultivation years, environmental factors only have a significant effect on the secondary metabolism of the three medicinal plants, their populations still maintain higher genetic diversity and stable genetic structure, what’s more, the secondary metabolites of the same medicinal plants with stable and similar genetic structure may still be different from each other when the habitat is changed. It indicated that there is no obvious consistency between them during the cultivation years.

The World

Since thousands years back approximately around 900 BC, medicinal plants are considered as a source of many biomolecules with therapeutic potential. Herbal medicines are considered as safer, better, physiologically compatible and costeffective. The oldest evidence of medicinal and aromatic plants depicts that with the emergence of human civilization, plants have been considered as the main source to heal and cure various serious ailments. It has been proven that the secondary metabolites e.g. alkaloid, glycosides, flavonoides, steroids etc present in the medicinal plants possesses ability to prevent occurrence of some of the diseases, means medicinal plants acts as a “preventive medicine”. Medicinal plants have a paramount importance and a great interest due to its pharmaceutical, cosmetic and nutritional values. Some plants are also considered as an important source of nutrition and are known to have a variety of compounds with potential therapeutic properties. India is the principal repository of large number of medicinal and aromatic plants or we can say India is one of the rich mega-biodiversity countries of the world. Medicinal plants are “backbone” of traditional medicinal system (TMS). Crude drugs are usually dried parts of medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) such as roots, stems, wood, bark, seeds, fruits, flowers, leaves, rhizomes, whole plant etc. that form the essential raw material for the production of medicines in various systems of Ayurveda, Siddha, Unani, Tibatian, Tribal and Homeopathy. According to the survey of the World Health Organization (WHO), about 80% of the world population are using herbs and other traditional medicines for their primary healthcare and have established three kinds of herbal medicines: raw plant material, processed plant material, and herbal products. Now days, variety of available herbs are used throughout the world and they continue to promote good health. As the benefits from medicinal and aromatic plants are recognized, these plants will have a special role for humans in the future. The present review on medicinal and aromatic plants revealed similar combination of studies.

Rhizosphere Fungi

The study of rhizospheric microbial flora for the enhancement of aroma compounds is well recognized. The rhizosphere microbes also play very important role in improving medicinal values of plants. Rhizospheric microbes affect the plant physiology by imparting several useful effects such as nitrogen fixation, nutrient uptake, and production of secondary metabolites in the medicinal and aromatic plants. Recent days there are increasing the interests in the research of the relation between rhizosphere microbes associated with medicinal plant for the improvement of quality of medicinal plants. A large variety of fungi and bacteria is recognized in the rhizosphere soil of medicinal plants that showed significant effect in secondary metabolite alteration and uptake of plant nutrient. There are reports that rhizosphere fungi not only enhanced the growth parameters in plants but also considerably modulated essential oil’s quality. This study highlighted the researches performed on active role of rhizosphere fungi on explored medicinal and aromatic plants. As the use of organic material is one of the constituents of good agricultural practices (GAPs). Therefore, this review also investigates the environmental concerns reducing the use harmful chemicals as well as recommendation for utilization of biological and organics in agriculture. Therefore, a proper understanding of role of rhizosphere mycoflora associated with the medicinal plants is essential.
