Environmental Impact on Production of Alkaloids in Tulsi (Ocimum Sanctum L.) and Ardusi (Adhatoda Vasica Nees.) as Influenced by Seasonal Variation
Journal Title: International Journal of Botany and Research (IJBR) - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 4
Abstract
Medicinal plants from a part of our daily life. Some of these herbs are consumed regularly by us. Ocimum sanctum L. (Tulsi) of family Labiatae and Adhatodavasica Nees. (Ardusi) of family Acanthaceae are commonly used to control a cough and cold. Alkaloids constitutions are the photoactive components of these plants. The present study focuses on the investigation of alkaloids contents of these important medicinal plants harvested in different seasons. It was observed that among the two varieties of Tulsi (Black and White) the white tulsi showed more active components accumulation during winter season whereas notable variation was not recorded in Ardusi. Contents of the alkaloids were influenced by the environment.
