Publisher: name: Arabian Journal of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants
Year: 2018
Subjects: Mentha longifolia (L.) subspecies schimperi, volatile oil composition, trans-piperitone oxide, radical scavenging activity, antibacterial activity.

description: The study was planned to investigate the content and the composition of the volatile oil of Mentha longifolia, subspecies schimperi, growing in Yemen. Antibacterial activity and radical scavenging activity (RSA) of the oil were evaluated as well. Chemical analysis of oil was achieved by IR spectroscopy and GC/MS. DPPH radical was used to estimate RSA of oil extract. Antibacterial activity was tested using agar diffusion method against four standard bacterial strains. Seventeen components, representing 99.97% of the total oil composition were identified. Piperitone oxide isomers were found to be the main components, representing 99.48% of the total oil composition. Oil content determination refers to the presence of 4.1% v/w. The chemical composition of the analysed oil in the current study is noticeably different from all the oils previously analyzed, especially in the percentage of trans-piperitone oxide and oil content. The bioassays showed that the present study oil, possess significant antibacterial activity and promising antioxidant. These results indicate that oil could serve as safe natural additives in the food and pharmaceutical industries and as a potential source for production of piperitone oxide.

Subjects: Phytochemical screening, polyphenols, flavonoids, aglycones, antioxidant activity, Vitex agnus castus

description: This study was designed to assess the phytochemical screening of leaves and seeds of Vitex agnus castus harvested south-East of Morocco and to evaluate their potential antioxydante activity properties using 2, 2 diphenyl-1-picrylehydrazil radical scavenging. Methanol 80% extracts of leaves and seeds were obtained by maceration. Phytochemical screening, quantitative determination of total polyphenols, total flavonoids, Aglycones and anthocyanins contents were assessed. Antioxidant activity was tested using 2, 2 diphenyl-1-picrylehydrazil radical scavenging. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of alkaloids, terpenes and catechic tannins in leaves and seeds, anthraquinones in seeds and saponins in leaves. Leaves and seeds showed a high content of total polyphenols (574.895 ± 4.600 mg GAE/g dried extract and 551.895 ± 2.300 mg GAE/g dried extract respectively); Total flavonoids content was high in leaves. Quantification of aglycones revealed an important amount of aglycones in leaves (0.118 ± 0.032 mg QE/g dried plant material). Thin layer chromatography revealed a wide variety of flavonoids and the presence of kaempferol in seeds. Results of the present work suggest that there is strong pharmacological potential in developing V. agnus castus as a drug to be used in antioxidant activity

description: Just as I was finishing up a draft of this BILD post, I came across a very relevant and timely blog post on my Twitter feed, Can we ever unthink linguistic nationalism?, by Dr. Ingrid Piller and Dr. Aneta Pavlenko. I'd like to add to this discussion and dialogue by proposing the potential of transepistemic language education. Tranepistemic language education is a way of learning, teaching, knowing, and being which enables respectful and non-hierarchical knowledge co-creation while we engage with languages, peoples, cultures, and lands. I present transepistemic language education as a means to foster more spaces where we can: (1) (un)learn cognitive and linguistic imperialism in language learning and teaching, and (2) envisage languaging that is not only in service of the nation state.

description: The castor bean plant (Ricinus communis L) has very popular seed oil that is consumed in different applications around the world. In the present study, the seed oil of Ricinus communis grown in Sudan was investigated in respect to its antibacterial activity and fatty acid composition. The antibacterial activity of the oil was tested against six bacteria strains using the disc diffusion method, while its fatty acid composition was analyzed by Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS). The oil exhibited different degrees of antibacterial activity depending on the doses of the oil applied. The maximum zone of inhibition observed for each bacterium was as follows: Staphylococcus aureus (8.1 mm), Enterococcus faecalis (6.5 mm), Bacillus subtilis (6.2 mm), Escherichia coli (6.0 mm), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (5.5 mm) and Salmonella typhi (5.2 mm). The unsaturated fatty acid (UFA) content was 97.9% of the total fatty acid composition. Ricinoleic acid comprises over 85% while other fatty acids identified were linoleic (8.1%), oleic (4.3%), stearic (1.1%), palmitic (0.8%), and linolenic (0.4%). The findings from this study may add to the overall value of the industrial and medicinal potential of this plant.

Subjects: Tamoxifen, piperine, pharmacokinetics, drug interaction, rats

description: The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of single and multiple oral administration of piperine on the pharmacokinetics of tamoxifen in rats. Tamoxifen was administered orally alone at 10 mg/kg or with singles (10, 25 and 50 mg/kg) or multiple (10 mg/kg) oral doses of piperine. In the present study, compared with the control group (tamoxifen alone) and piperine single and multiple dose administration showed significant increase in AUC0-∞ and t1/2. The relative bioavailability of tamoxifen in the piperine treated groups was 2.15-2.39 times higher compared to control group. The present study revealed that piperine significantly improved bioavailability of tamoxifen and the influence of piperine on the pharmacokinetics of tamoxifen may be attributed to the inhibition of metabolism of tamoxifen.

Publisher: name: Arabian Journal of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants
Year: 2017
Subjects: anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, harvest years, varieties, virgin olive oil.

description: Olive oil is a distinct food nutrient source because of its several biological effects, including anti-allergy and anti-inflammatory activities, which can be very important factor for cosmetic’s production. Indeed, olive oil active molecules do not cross the hepatic barrier and not metabolized. The aim of this work is to evaluate and compare the anti-inflammatory potential of extracts of different extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) varieties from different harvest years (2012 to 2014). We assessed the anti-inflammatory effect of SPE-Diol extract in LPS/IFNγ stimulated J774.A1 macrophages by measuring the production of several pro-inflammatory mediators such as nitric oxide (NO), prostaglandin (PGE2), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFα), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). The results showed that the anti-inflammatory effect differs between the EVOO varieties and were concentration-dependent. Among the tested varieties, Picholine had the highest anti-inflammatory activity, with a significant scavenging activity against the free radical. Nevertheless, the anti-inflammatory effect of each variety stayed in the same trend regardless of the harvest year. Moreover, the results showed that total polyphenols content stayed approximately the same for each variety whatever the harvest year, and that activity is correlated with total polyphenol content and radical scavenging activity.

description: Tuberculosis (TB) is currently a major health hazard due to multidrug-resistant forms of bacilli. Global efforts are underway to eradicate TB using new drugs with new modes of action, higher activity, and fewer side effects. Essential oils from some dietary herbal species have been used as sources of medicine and food preservatives for over 4000 years. The objective of this research is to investigate the antimycobacterial activity of the essential oils of Boswellia papyrifera (Del) Hochst olibanum, Nigella sativa seeds and Eucalyptus camaldulensis Dehnh leaves, which are used traditionally in treatment of cough and cold. The essential oils from herbal materials were prepared using hydrodistillation method. The essential oils were analyzed for identification of their chemical composition using GC-MS technique. The essential oils were tested in vitro for their activity against nine clinical isolates and a reference susceptible strain (H37Rv) M. tuberculosis in Lowenstein-Jensen (LJ) medium, at concentrations of 75, 50, 30 and 15 μl/mL. The main constituents identified in the investigated essential oils were p-cymene (45.26%) and thymoquinone (35.35 %) in N. sativa oil; octyl acetate (37.3%) and octyl formate (13.3%) in the B. papyrifera oil; 1,8-cineole (75%) and p-cymene (16.7%) in E. camaldulensis oil. The investigated essential oils exhibited anti-tubercular activity, in LJ medium, up to concentration of 15 μl/ml for each oil, towards all the tested strains, three of which were multi-drug resistant strains (MDR-TB), as they resist rifampicin, a marker drug for MDR-TB. This research findings may be useful in developing future powerful drugs for MDR-TB from essential oils, the bioactive phytochemical natural products.

description: Nanotechnology is one of the emerging fields of the scientific world. Various physical and chemical methods have been formulated for the synthesis of nanoparticles of desired shape and size. These methods are not eco friendly and economically feasible. In the present study, rapid, simple, eco-friendly approach was applied for synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Cipadessa baccifera aqueous leaf extract. The phytosynthesized nanoparticles were characterized by FT-IR, X-RD and SEM analyses. FT- IR used to study the functional group present in the nanoparticles. X-ray diffraction was used to confirm the crystalline nature of the particles. The morphology and crystalline phase of the nanoparticles were determined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results suggested that protocol is simple, rapid, one step, eco-friendly, non-toxic and alternative conventional physical/chemical methods. The formation of brown color at room temperature within a stipulated time takes place without the involvement of any hazardous chemicals.

New York City Bight

description: The federal Bureau of Ocean Energy Management is currently planning the nation’s first large-scale offshore wind farms which are slated to be installed throughout the mid-Atlantic. A key consideration in the planning process is the potential visual impact of wind farms on coastal landscapes and communities. The New York Bight is one of the areas currently undergoing such Visual Impact Assessment (VIA). This report seeks to evaluate the efficacy of the New York Bight VIA through a literature review of considerations in OWF VIA and a comparison with other offshore wind VIA methodologies currently employed in the U.S. and United Kingdom, both of which are leaders in advancing the application of VIA methodology to offshore wind energy. The report analyzes the theoretical frameworks and techniques used in the New York Bight VIA and, by extension, the strengths and limitations of offshore wind VIA in the mid-Atlantic. The analysis identifies shortcomings in methodologies relating to public involvement, visualization techniques, and cumulative impact ranking scales, as well as significant gaps in criteria used to establish the visibility of OWFs and the sensitivity of viewers to visual change. Improved methodological and visual perception considerations will help accurately assess the consequences of OWFs for people who live, work, and play along the coast, and ultimately impact the long-term success of offshore wind energy on the east coast of the U.S. and the continued growth of this important development in sustainable energy.

description: In this paper a comprehensive phytochemical analysis of the ethanolic extract obtained from a sample of Teucrum polium collected in Southern Iran is reported. Several phenolic components were identified such as flavonoids and phenylethanoid glycosides which together resulted to be the principal components of the extract. In particular, these compounds were cirsilineol (1), apigenin 7-O-rutinoside (isorhoifolin) (2), cirsimaritin (4), diosmetin (5), apigenin (6), cirsiliol (7) and, lastly, poliumoside (3). Their presence may justify, from the phytochemical point of view, the ancient ethno-medicinal uses of this species as antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, hypolipidemic and antirheumatic. Besides these health-promoting compounds, it was yet evidenced a minor presence of neo-clerodane diterpenoids which are, actually, known to possess hepatotoxic properties. In detail, these compounds were 10-β-hydroxy-teucjaponin B (8), picropolin (9) and teupolin I (10). Indeed, their presence underlines the necessity of a more accurate screening for this class of compounds on the raw materials devoted to botanicals and ethno-medicinal uses. Iridoids, considered to be marker compounds for the genus and for the Lamiaceae family, were completely absent in the studied sample, instead. This fact reveals the presence of an intraspecific variability for these metabolites in the studied species.

Subjects: agroecology

description: Agroecosystems integrate ecological principles to balance food production with biodiversity conservation. Despite efforts to use sustainable practices, weeds are still seen as problematic due to common views on plant competition. Plant diversity is crucial for maintaining agrobiodiversity, supporting functions like pollination, soil erosion control, and habitats for beneficial insects, while also contributing to ecosystem stability and multifunctionality. Current literature on plant competition provides insight into how competition influences species composition, thereby structuring communities. By integrating Indigenous agricultural practices with agroecological principles, we can better manage non-crop plants that offer potential benefits. Sustainable management practices based on agroecological principles can support agrobiodiversity and ecosystem function. This study evaluates the effect of interspecific and intraspecific interactions combined with above and below-ground competition between two dominant native weed species (Ipomoea purpurea and Viguiera cordata) in a coffee agroecosystem in the Soconusco region of Chiapas, Mexico. Field experiments with 102 plants across six sites (15mx20m) and four treatments (control, root competition, shoot competition, and root and shoot competition) were conducted over 9 weeks in a 278-hectare organic shaded coffee farm. The findings from this study suggest that in this agroecosystem both intraspecific and interspecific competition are occurring simultaneously with the impact on growth varying across treatments. We find that the additive effects of root and shoot competition significantly reduce the height and number of leaves for both plant species. Promisingly, these findings suggest that competitive interactions between Ipomoea purpura and Viguiera cordata can contribute to their management and coexistence. Understanding plant coexistence can help develop weed management practices that enhance plant diversity, thereby providing ecosystem benefits that support mid-to-long term stability. This study lays the foundation for more extensive research on weed competition within the coffee agroecosystem and provides insights into the natural management of weed communities.

description: Jojoba plant (Simmondsia Chinensis (link) Schneider), or Ho-Ho-ba or goat nut is a shrub belonging to the Simmondsiaceae family. It is well known as a useful medicinal plant and as a new crop of interest for many industrial purposes. The present study was carried out duringhe two successive seasons of 2012/ 2013 and 2013/ 2014 in private jojoba farms located as following: El-Kassasin city, El-Ismailia, Marsa Matroh, El-Sharkia, Asuite and El-Khanka governorates(Egypt). The study focused on studying the effect of the different local growing site of Egypt on the growth and wax production, and aiming to detect the best location for the suitable growing site to produce the best growth and wax yield. Nine jojoba female shrubs were selected in each farm from the growing shrubs depending on its obvious morphological growth characters and the different seeds shape and then they were marked by labels for data measurements. The monthly temperature and relative humidity average during the study seasons of culture were taken and recorded. The physical and chemical properties of the experimental soil were also determined and presented. Growth and flowering characters of jojoba shrubs e.g. plant height and volume[S1] as well as flowering period and fruiting set were greatly altered in relation with the growing location. Indeed, plants grown in upper Egypt Asiut site tended to produce the best growth rate and the extended flowering. Moreover, plants cultivated in El Sharkia and Assiut sites gave the biggest yield of wax, compared to the other cultivation sites, while the lowest yield of wax was from plants cultivated in Marsa Matroh area. The best level of most of the fatty acid content (Palmitic, Oleic, Nervonic, Gadoleic and Erucic acids) was found in the wax extracted from seeds of shrubs grown in Ismailia growing site.

description: Clusia fluminensis Planch. & Triana (Clusiaceae) is a Brazilian native species found in regions of high luminous intensity and water restriction. There are reports of its use in folk medicine, however, there is little literature information on its chemical composition and structural characterization. The results of the phytochemical study and biological tests conducted by our research group so far have shown that C. fluminensis has great potential to be used as a source of biologically active substances, making its anatomical characterization of fundamental importance. The leaf structure was analyzed through optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The leaves epicuticular waxes were analyzed by GC-MS. The leaf is hypostomatic with paracytic stomata and polygonal epidermic cells with 4 to 7 sides. The epidermis is uniseriate, with cuticle, thicker in the adaxial epidermis with cuticular flanges. The dorsiventral mesophyll showed hypodermis in the adaxial surface and numerous druses all over the mesophyll and many secretory ducts in the mesophyll and midvein. The vascular system is constituted by collateral bundles involved in numerous fibers, which in the midvein are densely grouped. The highest content of epicuticular waxes was obtained from leaves collected in summer. GC-MS data of the waxes indicated a marked presence of triterpenes such as α-amyrin, β-amyrin, lupenone, epifriedelinol and friedelin.

description: The genus Lavandula L. (Lamiaceae family) belongs to the subfamily Nepetoideae. The tribe Lavanduleae (Endl.) Boiss contain just the single genus Lavandula. The Lavandula species occur in Portugal, either spontaneously or grown for their ornamental and aromatic value. These species are also used in traditional medicine in the form of infusions, for internal and external uses. The wild populations of this genus are represented by five species and several subspecies in the Portuguese flora. This genus has revealed a complex taxonomy with some taxa known under different scientific names, although under the same common name. In Portugal has been significant research on these species, with significant results, in ethnobotany, essential oils, biological activities and in vitro research. The present assessment aimed to present the Banco Português de Germoplasma Vegetal contribution to the ex situ conservation of Lavandula species genetic resources: ex situ evaluation of Lavandula stoechas and L. pedunculata wild genetic resources, the need to plan new collecting missions and, the prospects for the use of genetic variability preserved in this collection. The main results of the morphological assessment showed that L. stoechas presents greater morphological diversity.

Subjects: Pimpinella anisum; oil cake; DPPH; fertilization; polyphenol; antioxidative activity

description: Anise (Pimpinella anisum L.), is a herbaceous plant from Apiaceae family. Its fruit is used in the pharmaceutical industry and in everyday nutrition because of its numerous benefits. It contains essential oil with trans-anethole as the main compound, which gives it that characteristic aroma. However, essential oil content in aniseed ranges around 3-4%, and the large amount of post-distillation waste material remains unused, but it can be a potential source of biologically active compounds. The aim of the present study was to investigate the total polyphenol content and antioxidative activity of anise post-distillation waste material, as well as the influence of fertilization on it. For this investigation the anise was grown during 2013, with the application of six different fertilization regimes (control, Slavol, BactoFil B-10, Royal Ofert biohumus, vermicompost and NPK). The content of total polyphenols remains after Clevenger oil distillation was determined by using Folin-Ciocalteau reagent, and expressed in mg/g gallic acid equivalents to dry extract (GAE). Further analysis of anise extracts was performed by LC-DAD-MS for identification phenolic compounds. Capacity of neutralization of free radicals samples was determined by DPPH method, and results are expressed in mg/mg Trolox equivalent to dry extract (TE). The results indicated that fertilization significantly increased content polyphenols total in anise post-distillation waste material, from 20.0 to 26.4 mg/g, in comparison to the control (11.6 mg/g). Hydroxybenzoic and hydroxycinnamic acids and their derivatives were identified in anise post-distillation waste extract, as well as flavanone and flavonol glycosides and trihydroxy flavonol derivates. However, antioxidant activity of all anise extract according to DPPH method is poor, and EC50 value ranges between 0.04 and 0.05 TE.

Publisher: name: Arabian Journal of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants
Year: 2017
Subjects: Continentality, hypoamphystomatic, microphytodermal structure, Pistacia lentiscus, stomatal density, trichomes, wax.

description: Very abundant in North Africa, Pistacia lentiscus extends from Morocco and Spain to Minor Asia and Palestine. It reappears as a distinct breed, emarginata variety Ang. in Eastern Africa. P. lentiscus L.: the mastic tree of Pistacia genus (Anacardiaceae family) is a medicinal taxon. This study aims to reveal the microphytodermal structure of P. lentiscus leaflets from three sites (Maghnia, Beni-Saf and Tessala) under different environmental conditions (Arid semi-continental and semiarid littoral and continental) from Northwest Algeria. Samples were treated and observed under light and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results revealed a highly diversified structure for epidermal hypoamphystomatic leaflets. The stomata are in pericytic, actinocytic, paracytic and desmocytic types, never mentioned as stomatal complex of mastic tree before . Capitate and pelted glandular trichomes were observed. The climate impact is reflected differently by rugueues to smooth stomatal surfaces, strongly to slightly covered by wax particles. Continentality of the climate and high altitudes (989 m) are expressed by low stomatal density (272,50 st /mm2).

subject: Science--Study and teaching
subject: Equality
subject: Public health

description: Inspired and informed by contemporary research within Science and Technology Studies (STS), this essay discusses how social epidemiological research serves to create and produce health inequalities in society. Focusing in particular on how social epidemiology establishes the relationship between socio-economic status and health, it examines how the accumulation of different studies relying on different indicators and measures results in the construction of new facts and generalizations concerning the health of people with a lower socio-economic status. By identifying groups "known to be unhealthy", the essay presents social epidemiology as participating in the co-production of the social and political infrastructures underlying policy decisions. To increase awareness within social epidemiology of the politics of its own knowledge practices, it concludes by recommending new interdisciplinary collaborations.

Subjects: Collecting missions, Genebank, medicinal and aromatic plants, Portugal

description: Abstract: Medicinal and aromatic plants (MAP) are used in all civilizations and cultures and have always played a key role in health care systems worldwide. These plants constitute a major part of the flora, which provide raw materials that are primarily used for therapeutic, aromatic and/or culinary purposes, as components of medicinal and cosmetics products and other natural health products. They are also the starting materials for value-added processed natural ingredients such as essential oils, dry and liquid extracts and oleoresins. Portugal has given rise to very diverse environmental habitats, is cradle to a rich flora, comprising 3,995 described taxa, 500 of which are of aromatic and/or medicinal potential. Some of these species are endemic, sometimes with very vulnerable ecological niches. Plant genetic resources’ collecting is a fundamental activity, widely used in ex situ conservation. Between 1990 and 2014, the Banco Português de Germoplasma Vegetal (BPGV), carried out national and international MAP collecting missions, which resulted in the ex situ conservation of 1,606 accessions. The main focus of this communication is to demonstrate the valuable contribution of those collecting missions in MAP genetic diversity conservation and evaluation.

description: The study was performed in order to determine the profile of volatile components of the garden angelica (Angelica archangelica L.) and wild angelica (A. sylvestris L.) seeds. The volatile ingredients were isolated by headspace techniques and analyzed by means of gas chromatography‒flame ionization detector (GC‒FID) and gas chromatography‒mass spectrometry (GC‒MS). It was found that A. archangelica seed consists of 29 components among which the dominant is b‒phellandrene (84.7%), followed by α‒phellandrene (3.4%), α‒pinene (2.5%), myrcene (2.1%) and α‒copaene (1.3%). However, the A. sylvestris seed consists of 22 volatile compounds, and the dominant are limonene (62.7%) and α‒pinene (28.0%), followed by camphene (2.6%), α‒phellandrene (2.0%) and b‒pinene (1.0%).

The Interest of phytovigilance in the prevention of adverse reactions bound to the use of Medicinal plants
Creators: name: Hanane, Zitouni Z
Publisher: name: Arabian Journal of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants
Year: 2016
Subjects: phytovigilance; medicinal plants

description: The phytovigilance is a discipline that has a main objective the monitoring of adverse effects and drug interactions consecutive to the use of herbal medicines, food supplements based on plants, and phytocosmetic and/or medicinal plants. The existence of risks of toxicity or pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic drug interactions between a plant and an allopathic medicinal or between related plants has required the existence of a monitoring system for this type of products; further international guidelines have defined this discipline as a legal obligation. Two phytovigilance observations were collected at the university hospital of Oran. They encourage strengthening phytovigilance strategies, sensitizing medical staff to systematically incorporate in its diagnostic approach the possibility of a toxic effect of herbal medicines or a drug interaction and drawing population attention to the danger of the irrational and excessive use of these plants.

A Comparison of cities and Reefs: A New Case Study for City Planning
Creators: name: Cabral, Sophia
Publisher: name: unknown

Subjects: subject: Science
subject: Architecture
subject: FOS: Civil engineering

description: Architects have used a biological vocabulary for decades, especially when describing the city. Often this vocabulary has drawn from certain cellular processes and body functions. Drawing parallels between a city's flow and biofluid dynamics, Architects turned to the circulatory system for lexical inspiration. For example, the word "veins" has been used for over a century to describe a city's streets, boulevards, and avenues--with its main thoroughfares and highways referred to as "arteries." With increasing awareness of the efficiency and intelligence of biological processes, there is a growing movement to adopt more of these processes into architecture. Building upon these trends, this paper will show how coral reefs are an effective source of solutions for architecture, urban planning, and design. This paper will compare two complex ecosystems—one urban and one marine--to highlight the connection between reefs and cities. A reef is an efficient and fertile agglomeration of biological structures; the complexity of a coral reef allows for the production, consumption, and reproduction of millions of organisms. Compared to traditional city construction, where design caters to only one species, could coral reefs suggest different design mechanisms to increase a city's biodiversity thus enhancing sustainability?
A comparative analysis of ethnobotanical applications by the AbaWanga people in western Kenya
Creators: name: N, Ndondolo Owuor
Publisher: name: Arabian Journal of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants
Year: 2016
Subjects: AbaWanga people and livelihoods; Ethnobotanical knowledge; Ethno-nomenclature; Mumias

description: AbaWanga people of western Kenya are known to have a rich history of ethnobotanical knowledge, probably due to their long interactive history of migration from North Africa to West Africa and then to Central and finally to East Africa. Their collective and accumulative ethnobotanical knowledge during the long migration and settling at their current geographical location largely remains unknown and is likely to be just as rich and worth analyzing, hence the current study of the AbaWanga people. Non-alienating, dialogic, participatory action research (PAR) and participatory rural appraisal (PRA) approaches involving 100 women and men aged over 30 years old were utilized. A combination of snowball and purposive sampling methods were used to select 100 key respondents. The methods comprised a set of triangulation approach needed in ethnobotanical knowledge of non-experimental validation process. The study showed varied ethnobotanical uses and existence of a complex and extensive ethnic-based plant nomenclature system with more mononomials than polynomials. There were 54 human diseases/ill-health conditions treated, controlled and managed together with a wide range of plants and plant products offering nutritional, socio-cultural/economic and veterinary values. Most prevalent diseases/ill-health conditions treated, controlled and managed included: - upper respiratory tract infections, reproductive health (such as barrenness), mental illnesses, cancer, schizophrenia and stroke. The study showed that there was a rich ethnobotanical knowledge and ethnopractices amongst the AbaWanga; that is potential for developing useful ethnoproducts for improving livelihoods of people. There was an indication that plant- and plant products-based ethnomedicine system was practically developed and potentially useful.
