    Paeonia emodi: An Ethnopharmacological and Phytochemical Review

    By Ubaid Yaqoob, Sumeera Nazir, Irshad Ahmad Nawchoo, Fayaz Ahmad Lone, Ali Abbas Rather, Afrozah Hassan, Asma Ashraf

    Abstract: This review is an attempt to evaluate the phytochemical potential of the Paeonia emodi and covers the pharmacological and ethnopharmacological activities of its chemical constituents, newly isolated chemical compounds and their medicinal importance. P. emodi is used in several traditional medicinal systems in China, Korea, Pakistan, India and Thailand. Different isolated natural products like anthraquinones, terpenoids, tannins, carbohydrates, phenolics and tannins, glycosides, paeoniflorin, lactiflorin, oxypaeoniflorin, cycloartenol, cholesterol, sitosterol, campesterol, emodinol, …

    Cytological Studies on Paeonia emodi Wall. ex Royle: An Important Medicinal and Ornamental Plant of Kashmir Himalaya

    By Ubaid Yaqoob, Sumeera Nazir, Irshad A Nawchoo, Asma Ashraf, Afrozah Hassan

    Abstract: Paeonia emodi, an endangered species, was examined for pollen mother cell (PMC) meiosis from both wild and transplanted populations. Buds of suitable size were collected from all the three study sites and fixed in ethanol:acetic acid (1:3) for 24 h and stored in 70% alcohol under refrigeration. For slide preparation, the anthers were squashed in 2% acetocarmine. The results revealed the mean meiotic chromo­some configurations of the species as 2n …

    Effect of Altitude and Habitat Characteristics on Growth and Reproductive Allocation in Paeonia emodi Wall. ex Royle

    By Ubaid Yaqoob, Sumeera Nazir, Irshad Ahmad Nawchoo

    Abstract: AbstractThe present study was carried out to determine the impact of habitat variability and altitude on the morphoreproductive features of Paeonia emodi—an important medicinal plant of Kashmir Himalaya. The species exhibited great variability in its morphological traits under different environmental conditions. The plants were more vigorous and taller at a low altitude site, Kashmir University Botanical Garden (KUBG) while the plants of the high altitude site, Jawahar Tunnel were shorter. …

    Phenological Behaviour of Paeonia emodi Wall. ex Royle in Response to Habitat Variability and Altitude

    By Ubaid Yaqoob, Sumeera Nazir, Irshad A Nawchoo, Aijaz A. Wani, Sajad A. Wani

    Abstract: AbstractThe study of phenological aspects of Paeonia emodi involves the observation, recording and interpretation of the timing of their life history events. An understanding of the phenology of plants is crucial to the understanding of community function and diversity. The phenological behaviour of P. emodi, being unclear, was investigated for the first time with a conservation perspective. Plant sprouts in the last week of March, senescence of aerial shoot starts …
