The aim of the present work was to analyse the total phenolic compounds (TPC) and to observe its antioxidant capacity, in four different extract using hexane, dichloromethane (DCM), ethyl acetate and methanol solvents respectively. Results presented that extraction with Hexane (0.6± 0.03 gm) and DCM (0.5 ± 0.02 gm) showed the highest yield. The methanol extract revealed highest amount (40.75 mg/g dry wt. Gallic acid equivalent) of TPC. Extract in DCM showed maximum reducing power (0.350±0.009)s and minimum (0.239±0.009) in hexane extracts was observed. Also, DCM showed the highest antioxidant activity of 112.95 ± 0.087 mg/g dry wt. Ascorbic acid equivalent, followed by ethyl acetate (83.56 ± 0.25 mg/g dry wt. Ascorbic acid equivalent). Among the four extracts as mentioned above, in DPPH (2, 2-diphenyl-1-picryl hydrazyl) assay methanol extract revealed maximum efficacy with respect of scavenging ability (75.1%). Here DCM fraction was found powerful inhibitor (84.76%) in comparison to hydroxyl radical at 1000μg/mL concentration. The maximum hydrogen peroxide radical scavenging activity (83%) was showed by DCM fraction. The FT-IR spectrum confirmed its functional group, responsible for antioxidant potential of the halophyte S. portulacastrum. The findings of the present research work helped us to identify the proper solvent for extracting phenolic compounds from the halophyte which may provide a rich source of natural antioxidants in food industry.<#LINE#>Aron P.M. and Kennedy J.A.

Twenty-eight (28) Wistar rats were equally divided into four groups receiving respectively distilled water (Control), MoLP, lead acetate andboth lead acetate + MoLP. The treatment was administrated orally for 28 days. Blood samples were collected from animals at day zero (D0) and D28 for biochemical assays. Results showed that lead treatment decreased significantly the levels of total proteinemia (p<0.01), albuminemia (p<0.05), serum iron (p<0.01) and calcemia (p<0.01) compared to control group. MoLP addition to lead treatment produced opposite effect on these parameter levels and reversed the impact of lead treatment. The levels of blood urea (p<0.001), creatinine (p<0.01) and uric acid (p<0.01) increase significantly in lead-treated animals compared to controls. MoLP treatment induced no significant difference in the levels of blood urea, creatinine and uric acid. However, it suppresses the effect of lead treatment. On the whole, these results showed that MoLP administration to rats reverses lead deleterious effects on many circulating biochemical parameters. The results highlight MoLP importance in the attenuation of some biochemical disturbances associated with chronic lead absorption and strengthen arguments in favour of the use of MoLP as food supplement.<#LINE#>Isitua C.C. and Ibeh I.N.

Five different types of cassava crackers were prepared with different ratio of cassava flour and cassava starch as main ingredients. Each type of fried cassava crackers was analyzed for moisture, ash, protein, fat, sugar and total carbohydrate. Based on visual color of fried cassava crackers, 130oC and minimum frying time 15 second were selected as suitable frying conditions. A range of moisture content (2.67 to 3.01%), ash content (1.68 to 2.05%), protein (9.58 to 11.13%), fat (19.73 to 21.95%), sugar (3.87 to 4.41%) and carbohydrate (89.41 to 89.57%) were found in fried cassava crackers. Significant (p<0.05) difference in sensory attributes was observed and S5 sample (cassava flour: wheat flour: baking powder= 67:30:3) was most accepted cassava crackers to panelists. Results of this study shows that cassava root has good potential in the production of various snacks especially crackers.<#LINE#>FAO (2004).@On line statistical database Rome, Italy,Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations@(www.fao.org).@No$Probart C (2003).@Meeting Micronutrient Needs.@Nutr.

The sample plots were 3 m x 3 m for shrubs and 1 m x 1 m for herbaceous plants species. Herbaceous plant species for aboveground biomass estimation was clipped from three 25 cm x 25 cm quadrat of the main quadrat. The result of this study showed that a total of 82 species in 60 genera and 27 plant families were recorded. Eleven of them are endemic and three of them are nearly endemic to Ethiopia. Of the 27 plant families, the family Asteraceae has the highest number of species (20) followed by Poaceae with nine species, Cyperaceae and Scrophulariaceae with six species each. Of the total species, nine (11%) were shrubs, 71 (86.5%) were herbs and two (2.4%) were ferns. Six community types were identified and described from the area. The net aboveground biomass of the area is 480.38 g m-2. More than 52% of the biomass was contributed by six species. The most frequently occurring species are Alchemilla abyssinica and Thymus schimperi with relative frequency of 11.2% and 9.2% respectively.<#LINE#>Demel Teketay (1999).@Past and present activities,achievement and constraints in forest genetic resourcesconservation in Ethiopia.@In: Forest Genetic ResourceConservation, Principle, Strategies and Actions, pp. 49-72 (Edwards, S., Abebe Demissie, Taye Bekele andHaase, G., eds.), IBCR and GTZ, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.@Yes$Zerihun Woldu (1999).@Forest in the vegetation types ofEthiopia and their status in the geographical context.@In:Forest Genetic Resource Conservation; PrincipleStrategies and Actions (Edwards S., Abebe Demissie,Taye Bekele and Haase, G., eds.).

The un-weighted paired group method with arithmetic averages (UPGMA) exhibited 2 clusters which were further grouped into distinct subgroups. Further, bifurcation at different levels leads to the different similarity index groups at the 90 per cent. In broader spectrum, the genotypes from various sources differed in grouping and it was difficult to establish relationship between origin and cluster pattern. The protein banding data were investigated in relation to agronomic traits that indicated influence of polymorphic bands on quantitative traits. Particular clusters were better for specific traits that are suggested to utilize in crop improvement program.<#LINE#>Ghafoor A., Afzal M. and Anwar R.

There are medicinal plants which inhibit angiogenesis or the formation of new blood vessels. One of them is the Tinospora rumphii Boerl, a large, abundantly growing vine, commonly known as “Makabuhay”. It is being used by rural folks for the treatment of cancerous wounds and tropical ulcers. This study evaluated the antiangiogenic activity of T. rumphii leaf and stem extracts using the number of new blood vessels formed in the chorioallantoic membrane of fertilized mallard embryos after 48 hours of treatment. Results of the CAM assay showed that the T. rumphii extracts exhibit antiangiogenic property based on the less blood vessels formed in the chorioallantoic membrane of mallard embryos. The combination of T. rumphii leaf and stem extracts yielded the lowest mean number of new blood vessels formed as compared to the leaf extract and the stem extract. One-way ANOVA revealed that there is a significant difference in the mean number of blood vessels formed, while method of Least Significant Difference specified that the combination of T. rumphii leaf and stem extracts is significantly more antiangiogenic than the leaf extract and the stem extract. These findings led to the conclusion that the T. rumphii extracts have antiangiogenic potential and that the combination of leaf and stem extracts inhibit angiogenesis more than the leaf extract or the stem extract.<#LINE#>Romeiras M., Duarte M.C., Indjai B. and Catarino L.(2012).@Medicinal plants used to treat neurologicaldisorders in West Africa: A case study with GuineaBissauFlora.@American Journal of Plant Sciences, 3(7),1028-1036.@Yes$Uprety Y., Asselin H., Boon E., Yadav S. and ShresthaK.

They are beneficiary (pollinators, biocontrollers, as food, in sericulture, in apiculture and in lac culture etc.) as well as harmful (pests of crops, wood, stored grains etc.). Many plants are depends on insects for pollination, mango tree are pollinated most predominantly insects, like numerous insects of the orders Hymenoptera, Diptera, Lepidoptera and Coleoptera. Pollen-grains have been observed adhering to the bodies of many species belonging to these orders. On the basis of different studies, it is concluded that majority of pollinators belong to order Hymenoptera. Among Hymenopterans insects, different species of honey bee are the most efficient flower visiting insect. Some studies have suggested that insects of order Diptera are the dominant pollinators.<#LINE#>Singh G.
