This research work defines the taxonomic position of some species of family Fabaceae and Solanaceae as medicinal herbs. Multiple parameters have been used including morphology, anatomy, palynology, organoleptography, pharmacognosy, UV analysis, IR analysis, LM and SEM scanning and allelopathy. These medicinal species, which have been used for various ailments have either not been properly investigated or the findings have not been correlated with phytochemical studies in Pakistan previously. The recent research would promote recognition of the value of particular medicinal species and result...

The beans of mung and mash were used to prepare protein isolates where defatted beans flour was used as the starting material. Through this method 54% and 33% of protein isolates were made (from mung and mash varieties). The prepared protein isolates can be used in food industry. Mung bean and mash have high protein content (with acceptable functional properties), which makes it promising protein source in food application....

The present piece of work was an effort to find and isolate the bioactive compounds not only in naturally grown but also in in vitro grown cell and tissue lines of Mako under controlled environment and adjustable PGRs.The study of natural product s profile of tissue cultured plants using GC-MS, is a unique idea,adopted during the present work, which may lead to the production and identification of many novel bioactive compounds.
