Strategies in improving plant salinity resistance and use of salinity resistant plants for economic sustainability

La raiz de Desmostachya bipinnata ha sido utilizada en el sistema tradicional de medicina Hindu para el tratamiento de diarrea y disenteria. El efecto antidiarreico de los extractos alcoholicos y acuosos de los extractos de la raiz de Desmostachya bipinnata fueron estudiados en ratas, utilizando la diarrea inducida por aceite de castor y el ensayo de la prueba por carbon en dosis de 200 y 400 mg/kg de peso corporal. El extracto alcoholico y en menor grado, el extracto acuoso, redujeron significativamente la propulsion de carbon a traves del tracto gastrointestinal. El analisis de los extractos mostraron la presencia de alcaloides, glicosidos, flavonoides, taninos, fitoesterol, terpenoides, polifenoles, proteinas y carbohidratos. Estos resultados pueden apoyar el hecho de que esta planta sea usada tradicionalmente para curar la diarrea.

Assessment of antidiarrhoeal activity of Desmostachya bipinnata L. (Poaceae) root extracts [Evaluación de la actividad de antidiarreica de extractos de la raíz de Desmostachya bipinnata L. (Poaceae)]

: Fagoniacretica is a woodland tiny thorny herb that belongs to the Zygophyllaceae family. fagonia-californica and fagonia- scabra are some of the 35 species. the inclusion of unique chemical ingredients such as sterols, alkaloids, sapogenins, terpenoids, flavonoids, proteins, amino acids, coumarins, vitamins, and trace elements attracted worldwide attention to the species. (2) they have a long history of using internal and external conventional formulations to treat hemorrhoids, inflammation, ulcers, open wounds, leprosy, and fever. (1) researchers have discovered that this plant contains anticancer, antipyretic, analgesics, anti-inflammatory, wound healing, anti-tumor, anti-allergic, Renoprotective antibacterial, anti-diabetic, (2) antimicrobial, antiseptic, liver cancer, anti-viral, and thrombolytic characteristics.

Potential health benefits and pharmacological activities of fagonia cretica

The aim of the present study is to determine antimicrobial potential activity of Fagonia cretica and Desmostachya bipinnata plant parts to look into possible natural therapy agents. Fagonia cretica (Linn.) is most valuable therapeutic medicinal plant, commonly known as Dhamasa and belong to Zygophyllaceae family and Desmostachya bipinnata is also valuable medicinal plant, commonly known as Kusha or Dabh and belong to Poaceae family‎. Fagonia cretica and Desmostachya bipinnata have a good medicinal property and used as: urinary disorder, abdominal pain, chronic fever, cancer, dysentery and menorrhagia, and as a diuretic and a blood purifier. Selective plant parts were also used as medicine contents in pharmaceuticals. Antibacterial and antifungal activity has to be done from various selective medicinal plant parts. Potential activity as antimicrobials against bacteria and fungi Bacillus subtilis is maximum in methanol extract and minimum against Staphylococcus aureus in chloroform extract. Fagonia cretica most valuable medicinal plant, used as anti breast cancer drug.
