The indigenous knowledge of the Basotho makes it simple for this speech community to name their traditional medicinal plants in such a way that they are meaningful; this could also be viewed as an empowerment technique, especially in the economic sphere. Their medicinal plants names seem to be idiomatic and to express certain philosophies of the Basotho society. Creativity is observable in this kind of naming, and many names allude to the kind of remedy that is associated with the medicinal plant. It is therefore the interest of this paper to consider the names of medical plants among the Basotho whose names allude to the remedy they provide. The names of Sesotho medicinal plants and the reasoning of the Basotho in general behind the name and the use of each medicinal plant will be discussed in this article. This paper will further preserve and promote the use of Basotho traditional medicines for the future generation.

Dengue Fever is a disease that often attacks the community. Sufferers of Dengue Fever are increasing every year. In this case natural treatments are still widely found drugs that can cure Dengue Fever and Typhoid Fever (tipes), to produce which medicinal plants are good, and examples according to Dengue Fever and Typhoid disease (typhus) still experience trouble. To overcome the selection of the right medicinal plants, a decision support system was created using Fuzzy Logic, Fuzzy Mamdani using Matlab system test aids. The method used in decision making is the fuzzy method. The method is because the fuzzy method can be used in making multi-criteria decisions and quite well in solving identification problems that require many criteria. On the results of testing existing data obtained data by comparison between data and processes in the matlab application, the valid level of application testing is 94.4%. Based on the results of the test carried out in this study, the Decision Support System is expected to help the community to determine the symptoms that arise so that it can be known about the fever between dengue fever and typhoid (typhus) so that the selection of medicinal plants is appropriate and can be used.

Background: Hairy root culture has been widely used in the production of metabolites in dicotyledons, and a large number of food crops and medicinal plants in monocotyledons need to be developed, but there are many difficulties in the induction of hairy roots in monocotyledons. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the inducing methods, influencing factors and application of hairy roots in monocotyledons, and to promote the development of hairy root system in monocotyledons. Methods: The mechanism of action of Agrobacterium rhizogenes and the current situation of hairy root induction, induction methods and influencing factors of monocotyledons were summarized so as to provide convenience for efficient acquisition of hairy root of monocotyledons. Results: Monocotyledons are not easy to produce phenols, cells are prone to lignification, adverse differentiation and selective response to Agrobacterium rhizogenes strains. It is proposed that before induction, plant varieties and explants should be selected, and different infection strains should be screened. In the process of hairy root induction, exogenous inducers such as acetosyringone can be added. Although these factors can provide some help for the induction of hairy roots in monocotyledons, we still need to pay attention to the disadvantages of monocotyledons from dicotyledons at the cellular level. Conclusion: A large number of food crops and medicinal plants are monocotyledons. Hairy root culture can be used to help the breeding and production of medicinal substances. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the selection of varieties and explants, the selection of Agrobacterium rhizogenes and the addition of acetosyringone in the process of hairy root induction so as to improve the production efficiency and facilitate the development and utilization of monocotyledons.
