A Critical Review of the Genus Ipomoea L. (Convolvulaceae) | Chapter 12 | Innovations in Biological Science Vol. 1

 The genus Ipomoea comprises the largest number of species within the family Convolvulaceae. Throughout the world Ipomoea is usually estimated to contain 500 species are found throughout tropical and subtropical region of the world. The species of Ipomoea have been used as food plants, medicines, and ornamental plants and in religious ritual. The leaf anatomy of Ipomoea cynanchifolia shows broad cuticles with epicuticulars trails, stomates present on both upper and lower epidermis, the mesophyll is of the dorsiventral type. The species of the genus Ipomoea, as well as, of the Convolvulaceae family have the property of phytotoxicity. Morphology, Embryology, and Palynology of the genus was also discussed here.

Determination of Physiochemical, Pharmacognostical, and Phytochemical Parameters of Premna herbacea | Chapter 9 | Technological Innovation in Pharmaceutical Research Vol. 6

 Herbal medicines have been used by practically all civilizations throughout history. Premna herbacea, a member of the Premna genus of the Verbenaceae family, was one of them. The goal of this chapter was to characterise the plant's morphological and microscopical characteristics. These plants' ethanol, chloroform, petroleum ether, and aqueous extracts were subjected to preliminary phytochemical investigation. Triterpenoids and alkaloids were found in abundance, along with trace levels of carbohydrates and flavonoids. The plant's physiochemical characteristics were within acceptable ranges. The fluorescence of root powder was detected under visible light and UV light of short and long wavelengths after it had been treated with various chemicals. They had a fluorescence to them. TLC and HPTLC analysis of several plant extracts also showed positive results. Premna herbacea has to be studied more in order to learn more about the hidden areas and their practical clinical applications that can benefit humanity.
