TL;DR: P. stutzeri showed biocontrol activity against plant pathogens which can be used as potential bio-pesticides and was corroborated with chitinase, protease and lipase enzymatic activities.
Abstract: Agricultural crops are susceptible to abiotic and biotic factors. Among biotic factors, plant pathogens attacks are prominent and significantly reduce the crop productivity and production. Long ter...

TL;DR: In this paper, a review article reveals the importance of species Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal, distributed in India and other parts of the world, this extensive research information on this species is highly significant for future researchers worldwide.
Abstract: Present review article reveals the importance of species Withania somnifera (L.) Dunal, distributed in India and other parts of the world, this extensive research information on this species is highly significant for future researchers worldwide. In this article cytomorphological, phytochemical and biological activities inputs have been extensively recorded and discussed. As a part of our investigation on cytomorphological and phytochemical aspects for important medicinal plants from India, the aim of this pioneer attempt is to provide precise, truthful and detailed information of W. somnifera (L.). As per our knowledge, there is not even a single, combined, constructive review report available about this species, evaluated by using cytomorphological, phytochemical and biological activities based aspects.

TL;DR: This chapter summarizes the biosynthetic pathway and characterize the genes/enzymes of the pathway along with the in vitro developments associated with withanolide production, useful in defining the plants as well as in developing newer plants with promising pharmacological and agrotechnological traits.
Abstract: Medicinal plants are highly important for producing structurally unique phytomolecules that possess diverse pharmaceutical and commercial significance In this chapter, various modern molecular approaches are discussed to improve medicinal plants, using Ashwandha (Withania somnifera) as an example, wherein tremendous progress has happened during the last decade or so W somnifera, commonly known as Ashwagandha, possesses wide therapeutic repute due to the presence of signature phytochemical withanolides (C-28 steroidal lactone-based compounds) In-depth study of biochemical pathways and regulation is an important area of research owing to the wide range of medicinal properties of withanolides The enzymes involved in the early biosynthetic process of withanolides have been characterized to some extent With recent developments in next-generation sequencing during the last decades, the identification of novel enzymes involved in the modification of the withanolide backbone has taken place In this chapter, we summarize the biosynthetic pathway and characterize the genes/enzymes of the pathway along with the in vitro developments associated with withanolide production The information is useful in defining the plants as well as in developing newer plants with promising pharmacological and agrotechnological traits
