Ladakh’s cropped and non-cropped areas suffer greatly from weedy invasion under subsistence agricultural system where weeding is not a priority but total crop + weed biomass together contribute to livestock feeding significantly. As agriculture along with rearing major activity of livelihood options, thereby contributing significantly Ladakh economy income generation for supporting resource poor farmers. Amongst various invasive species, the common reed (Phragmites australis) has become serious ecological threat agri-silvi-pastoral biodiversity accelerated its expansion in lands including many wetland salt-affected habitats cold arid region due intermediate plant growth habit C3 - C4 photosynthetic ecotypes. This character makes Phragmites climate-resilient which challenge changing climatic patterns. Simultaneously, it one best fodder substitute available harsh climate. paper deals unique characters potential threats agrobiodiversity Ladakh.

Abstract: Biologically active secondary metabolites, essential oils, and volatile compounds derived from medicinal aromatic plants play a crucial role in promoting human health. Within the large family Asteraceae, genus Artemisia consists of approximately 500 species. species have rich history traditional medicine worldwide, offering remedies for wide range ailments, such as malaria, jaundice, toothache, gastrointestinal problems, wounds, inflammatory diseases, diarrhoea, menstrual pains, skin disorders, headache, intestinal parasites. The therapeutic potential is multitude phytoconstituents, including terpenoids, phenols, flavonoids, coumarins, sesquiterpene lactones, lignans, alkaloids that serve pharmaceutical ingredients (API). remarkable antimalarial, antimicrobial, anthelmintic, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antispasmodic, antioxidative insecticidal properties possessed by are attributed to these APIs. Interestingly, several commercially utilized drugs, arglabin, artemisinin, artemether, artesunate, santonin, tarralin also been different However, despite vast potential, only limited number exploited commercially. Further, available literature on pharmacological uses lacks comprehensive reviews. Therefore, there an urgent need bridge existing knowledge gaps provide scientific foundation future research endeavours. It this context, present review aims account uses, phytochemistry, documented biological toxicity all offers useful insights practitioners researchers into underutilized their applications. This stimulate further exploration, experimentation collaboration fully realize augmenting health well-being.

The Artemisia L. genus includes over five hundred species with great economic and medicinal properties. Our study aimed to provide a comprehensive metabolite bioactivity profile of campestris subsp. lednicensis (Spreng.) Greuter & Raab-Straube collected from north-eastern Romania. Liquid chromatography tandem high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS/MS) analysis different polarity extracts obtained the aerial parts led identification twelve flavonoids, three phenolic acids, two sesquiterpene lactones, fatty one coumarin, lignan. antioxidant enzyme inhibitory properties were shown in DPPH (0.71−213.68 mg TE/g) ABTS (20.57−356.35 radical scavenging, CUPRAC (38.56−311.21 TE/g), FRAP (121.68−202.34 chelating (12.88−22.25 EDTAE/g), phosphomolybdenum (0.92−2.11 mmol anti-acetylcholinesterase (0.15−3.64 GALAE/g), anti-butyrylcholinesterase (0−3.18 anti-amylase (0.05−0.38 ACAE/g), anti-glucosidase (0.43−2.21 anti-tyrosinase (18.62−48.60 KAE/g) assays. At 100 μg/mL, downregulated secretion tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated human neutrophil model (29.05−53.08% LPS+ control). Finally, samples showed moderate weak activity (minimum concentration (MIC) > 625 mg/L) against seventeen tested microbial strains (bacteria, yeasts, dermatophytes).
