The plant Ashoka (Saracaasoca Roxb.) is an endangered species in the flora which is very useful in different condition of the health of a mankind. But different source plants are used in the name of Ashoka in the rural area of Moodubidire. Different parts of Ashoka are also useful as medicine in various disorders. Hence a preliminary survey work on ethno-medical uses of Ashoka were conducted at Moodubidire Talluk in Karnataka State. It was found that the various source plants such as Saracaasoca Roxb., Humboldtia brunois Wall., Xylia xylocarpa Roxb., Polyalthia longifolia Sonn. etc. were used in the name of Ashoka. But Saracaasoca (Roxb). is being popu- lar and authentic source of Ashoka, different parts of parts of Ashoka are beneficial in the management of differ- ent diseases in different forms. The bark of Ashoka is said to be useful in the management of menorrhagia, the flowers in gastritis & piles, leaves in acne vulgaris, intestinal worms and stem in the management of Skin diseas- es. The complete documentation on the ethno-medico-botanical utility of different parts of Ashoka in the Moodu- bidire Range were done in the present study.

Dendrobium Sw., a member of the family Orchidaceae, includes approximately 1100 species distributed in different parts of the world. In China, the genus is represented by 76 species and two varieties, of which D. loddigesii, D. fimbriatum, D. chrysanthum, D. officinale (=D. candidum) and D. nobile are listed in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia as the source material for Herba Dendrobii (Shihu). Because of increased demand and high price, Herba Dendrobii is often adulterated in the trade by other related species. Many Dendrobium species are over-collected from the wild and are listed under endangered taxa in the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). Therefore, a reliable authentication method is needed to regulate the trade and help conserve the species from unscrupulous collections. This review describes the present status of using medicinal Dendrobium in China, current approaches to authenticate medicinal Dendrobium plants and Herba Dendrobii, and the efforts under way towards the development of DNA microarrays to facilitate differentiation/identification of genuine material in complex Chinese medicinal formulations.

AbstractSegmented filamentous bacteria (SFB) are present in various animal species including pigs. The aim of this work was to analyze the occurrence of SFB in different parts of the gastrointestinal tract of piglets of different ages. A total of 377 DNA extracts from stomach, jejunum, ileum, cecum and colon digesta, and from feces collected on different time points, originating from 155 animals, were screened by qPCR method with primers specific for the SFB. SFB sequences were detected in 74 of 377 samples (19.6%) from 155 animals in total. SFB were most abundant in ileum (50.0%), cecum (45.0%), and colon (37.0%), followed by feces (14.6%). SFB prevalence in sows was 12.9% (13/101) and 75.9% (41/54) in individual piglets. Of the 41 SFB-positive piglets, only two samples were from pre-weaning animals, while the rest of samples originated from post-weaning piglets. SFB sequences are abundant in post-weaning piglets, but not in suckling or adult animals. They are most abundant in the ileum and cecum of pigs. Further studies are warranted to reveal the role of SFB in pigs.

The Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose Indian Botanic Garden (AJCBIBG) previously known as Indian Botanic Garden, Howrah, is a historic old garden. This botanic garden has a special position among all the botanic gardens that the world having. In earlier time this garden witnessed as the centre of plant introduction. Till then AJCBIBG served as a centre for ex-situ conservation of many RET species collected from different parts of the globe. The rich and diverse floristic wealth of this garden makes it unique and very special. AJCBIBG is a living repository of 1377 species of plants (excluding herbs). The garden abode a rich herbaceous flora due to its congenial climate. However, records on the herbaceous plants dwelling in AJCBIBG are very scanty. Taking this into account the present study aimed at enlisting the herbaceous flora of the garden. A checklist of plants belonging to various families has been provided in this communication.

Balanites aegyptiaca (Desert date) is one of the pioneer agro-forestry species in the Sahel.The different parts of the tree are used in human and animal food, and the fruits are an important source of revenue for the rural population. This study aims at reducing the research data gapon in the entomofauna associated with B. aegyptiaca in countries like Niger. Tree and fruits samples were taken in the rural area of SansaneHaoussa in the South- western part of Niger to inventory insect species present and assess the level of damage. The germination potential of attacked fruits was also assessed. The plant is attacked by various insect pests belonging mainly to the orders of Coleoptera, Lepidoptera and Orthoptera with a predominance of the first. However the most dangerous ones are the species which cause damage to the fruits, including Ephestiakuehniella Zeller, 1879 (Lepidopèra Pyralidae) which perforates the fruits and damages the grains hindering the germination of seeds of B. aegyptiaca.

A preliminary survey on earthworm species from north Karnataka region, Gulbarga district, Karnataka state, India, has been conducted from January 2012 to December 2013. Survey was conducted in three regions of Gulbarga district i.e. Afzalpur, Chittapur, and Sedam taluk. Six species of earthworms were identified belonging to four families namely lumbricidae, Octochaetidae, Megascolecidae and Eudrilidae. Eisenia fetida belonging to family lumbricidae, Dichogaster bolaui belong to family Octochaetidae, Polypheretima elongate, Perionyx sansibaricus and Perionyx excavates belong to family Megascolecidae and Eudrilus eugeniae belonging to family Eudrilidae. Among the species, Eudrilus eugeniae does not occur naturally and are produced from external sources for vermicomposting units.

Biological studies in Guinea have been very patchy, leaving much of the country almost unsurveyed. In 1992 the Fauna and Flora Preservation Society funded a 10-day field visit to Kounounkan, a relict forest at the northern edge of the Upper Guinea Forest Block. The survey found a variety of habitats and high biodiversity, including two vulnerable and one endangered species. Hunting pressure appears to be low and the site is very well suited for the development of further conservation initiatives.
