The genus Piper, belonging to the Piperaceae family, includes over 2,000 species, many of which are widely recognized for their significant economic and medicinal value. This study aimed to investigate the phytochemicals isolated from the leaf extract of Piper crassipes. Soxhlet extraction of the dried powdered leaves was employed to extract the phytochemicals using a polarity gradient of hexane, dichloromethane, and methanol. The phytochemicals were obtained using chromatography techniques and their structures were confirmed by spectroscopic analysis (IR, NMR, and MS) and comparison with the literature. Furthermore, the isolated phytochemicals were evaluated for their DPPH free radical scavenging activity. The isolation successfully led to the identification of ten phytochemicals: asaricin (1), chavibetol (2), dillapiole (3), β-sitosterol (4), 5,7-dimethoxyflavone (5), 4',5,7-trimethoxyflavone (6), N-(3-phenylpropanoyl)pyrrole (7), chavicol (8), N-isobutyl-(2E,4E,14Z)-eicosatrienamide (9), and 4-allyl resorcinol (10). Among the isolated phytochemicals, compounds (8) and (10) showed the highest DPPH radical scavenging activity, with IC50 values of 189.3 and 195.8 µmol/L, respectively. This study offers important insights into the antioxidant potential of P. crassipes constituents, highlighting further opportunities to explore their nutraceutical and pharmaceutical applications.

Hoya is a wild ornamental plant with medicinal properties that have been extensively exploited from its natural habitat, causing a reduction at an alarming rate. The current study is aiming to fabricate an affordable and simple-to-use hydroponic system for the conservation and mass production of four Hoya species (H. carnosa, H. kerrii, H. parasitica, and H. longifolia). Tray-based floating and stationary hydroponic systems consist of Hoya plants (cuttings) inserted in a thermocol sheet and suspended in MS nutrient solution. Cuttings derived from mature plants were subjected to full MS (Murashige and Skoog), 1/2 MS, 1/3 MS, and 1/4 MS nutrient media for growth optimization. Subsequently, the ½ MS nutrient medium with explants was further augmented with different concentrations (0.5, 1.5, 2.5, 3.5, and 4.5 µM) of auxins like 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA), indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), indole acetic acid (IAA) and IBA (2.5 µM) optimized for rooting. A combination of 1/2 MS + IBA (2.5 μM) proved to be the optimal medium for rooting in Hoya species when compared to all other treatments. Further, improvements in root number were recorded with augmentation of 25, 50, 100, 150, and 200 µM of Zinc Sulphate (ZnSO4). Half MS nutrient solution with 2.5 µM IBA and 100 μM ZnSO4 resulted a maximum of 15 roots in H. carnosa, 20 in H. parasitica, 38 in H. kerrii, and 19 in H. longifolia. The effect of 5.0 µM GA3 (Gibberellic acid) was also evaluated on bud break in rooted plants. Foliar spray of GA3 on acclimatized plants subsequently reduced the bud break time, and the highest reduction of time was observed from 21 d to 7 d in H. parasitica. Transfer of hydroponically raised plantlets was under stress during in vitro to field conditions. Stress markers (MDA, SOD, and CAT) for defense and photosynthetic pigments for better survival of hydroponically grown plants were monitored during acclimatization. MDA content was stable at 60 to 70 d while SOD and CAT activity was stabilized and influenced upon its peak on the same days under the poly-house condition in the propagated Hoya species. Photosynthetic pigments were gradually increased, and maximum values were recorded at 70 d of acclimatization. The present study proposed a reliable protocol for the conservation and mass propagation of most of the Hoya species.

The discourse regarding clothing in Islam regularly emphasizes on divine dress code differentiates between the permissible and the forbidden, as enshrined in Islamic scripture. Possibly, a misconception could prevail within attempts by outsiders of the fraternity of scripture studies. For instance, there is a claim in an English paper “Clothing and Colours in Early Islam: Adornment (Aesthetics), Symbolism and Differentiation” by Hadas Hirsch states that Muslim men are forbidden from wearing yellow, red and colourful clothes. To answer the misconception, this study focuses on hadiths in the chapters on clothing in al-Ṣaḥīḥayn. This study employs a qualitative methodology through content analysis on the paper and contextual analysis on the culled chapters. Ultimately, this study identifies the argument presented by Hirsch and then finds narrations on the mentioned colours for men in the culled chapters. Based on the narrations, these colours are allowed for men since they are not performing pilgrimage ritual and their red dress are not of safflower-based dye. Indeed, the false claim lies in dependence on insufficient texts besides the hindrance in construing archaic words in text of hadith. Hereby, this study stresses on the conveying of teaching from hadith into other languages, especially English should be made by its scholarly fraternity in hadith which can reveal sufficient array of narrations for each topic. In addition, the text which has its Arabic language root back to over fourteen centuries is understandable in the hands of scholars in the field of hadith and Islamic scripture.

Melastoma malabathricum, commonly known as senduduk, is a member of the Melastomataceae family. It is well-known for its therapeutic and medicinal properties, deeply rooted in local traditional knowledge and supported by scientific evidence. Often considered a robust plant and even labeled as a weed, M. malabathricum can be easily spotted along roadsides. However, despite its potential value, recent publications have provided limited information about its leaf anatomy. This study aimed to improve species identification by thoroughly examining the leaf anatomical characteristics of M. malabathricum. Leaf samples were collected from 10 different locations in Peninsular Malaysia and subjected to laboratory procedures involving sectioning and staining. The prepared permanent slides were then observed under a light microscope. A total of 35 leaf anatomical characteristics, including 10 types of trichomes, were successfully identified. Important characteristics such as the petiole, midrib, marginal outline, paracytic stomata, and vascular bundle types were systematically documented. Notable discoveries included the presence of hypodermal layers, collenchyma cells, druses, mucilage cells, and medullary phloem, all of which are distinctive anatomical traits of M. malabathricum. During the leaf anatomical analysis, it became evident that the majority of examined M. malabathricum samples displayed substantial similarities with minor variations in the combination of trichome types on the leaf surface. These variations might be influenced by ecological and geological factors. Nonetheless, it is essential to emphasize that the types of trichomes and other anatomical characteristics remained consistent within each sample. Consequently, these findings offer valuable insights into the systematic classification of M. malabathricum through the documentation of leaf anatomy characters.

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk menambah baik pengecaman spesies dengan memeriksa dengan teliti ciri-ciri anatomi daun M. malabathricum. Sampel daun telah dikumpulkan dari 10 lokasi berbeza di Semenanjung Malaysia dan seterusnya terlibat dengan kerja pemotongan dan pewarnaan di makmal. Kemudian penyediaan slaid kekal dijalankan untuk tujuan pemerhatian di bawah mikroskop cahaya. Sejumlah 35 ciri anatomi daun, termasuk 10 jenis trikom telah berjaya dikenalpasti. Ciri-ciri penting seperti bentuk luaran petiol dan midrib, tepi daun, stomata jenis parasitik, dan jenis berkas vaskular secara sistematik didokumenkan. Penemuan ketara termasuk kehadiran lapisan hipodermal, kolenkima sel, drus, sel musilaj, dan floem medulari, telah dikenalpasti sebagai ciri tersendiri M. malabathricum. Kesemua sampel M. malabathricum yang dikaji menunjukkan persamaan yang ketara dengan variasi kecil dalam gabungan jenis trikom pada permukaan daun. Variasi ini mungkin dipengaruhi oleh faktor ekologi dan geologi. Walau bagaimanapun, jenis trikom dan ciri anatomi lain kekal konsisten dalam setiap sampel. Justeru, kajian ini dapat membuktikan bahawa dokumentasi ciri anatomi daun dapat membantu pengelasan sistematik M. malabathricum.

Topik al-Ṭibb al-Nabawiy agak mendapat tempat dalam perbincangan ilmiah kontemporari. Begitupun ia masih berkisar sekitar beberapa tumbuhan yang sudah dikenali tanpa mengetengahkan sebilangan besar nama-nama arkaik dalam teks hadith. Walhal dalam peradaban Islam silam, kelestarian pengetahuan bidang perubatan tentang tumbuhan bermanfaat terpelihara dalam kupasan ilmiahnya. Bagi memaparkan budaya peradaban tersebut, kajian berbentuk kualitatif digunakan. Pengumpulan data diusahakan dengan menjalankan kajian kepustakaan menggunakan sumber induk Kitāb al-Ṭibb, Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhāriy (KṬṢB) dan al-Tadhkirah, diikuti sumber-sumber lain sebagai sokongan. Seterusnya, bagi mengolah data yang dikumpul, pendekatan analisis kontekstual dipilih bagi menjelaskan maksud perkataan arkaik bagi nama tumbuhan perubatan dalam KṬṢB. Kemudian analisis tekstual dipilih untuk mengenalpasti kelestarian pengetahuan tentang tumbuhan tersebut dalam al-Tadhkirah. Hasilnya, kajian ini dapat mengumpul enam tumbuhan perubatan daripada perkataan arkaik dalam KṬṢB; iaitu akar gobo, gandum, akar pucuk, al-wars, zaitun liar dan papirus. Tumbuhan yang disarankan oleh Nabi s.a.w. pada kurun ke-7M sebenarnya terus dikenali dari generasi ke generasi hasil daripada legasi keilmuan dan karya gharīb al-hadīth. Meninjau kepada kitab perubatan bernama al-Tadhkirah oleh al-Anṭākiy yang dihasilkan pada kurun ke-17M, enam tumbuhan tersebut dikenali dan diperakui nilai perubatannya. Kajian dalam skop yang terhad ini merupakan satu usaha menyerlahkan tumbuhan perubatan yang kurang dikenali. Kelestarian dalam menguasai makna perkataan arkaik bagi tumbuhan perubatan adalah penting sebagaimana amalan peradaban silam. Sebenarnya, masih terdapat banyak herba perubatan dalam nama arkaik yang disebut oleh Nabi s.a.w. Demikian juga dengan nama arkaik bagi bahan yang digunakan dalam perusahaan tekstil, campuran kosmetik dan perubatan veterinar. Kajian seterusnya boleh diusahakan dengan memilih mana-mana kompilasi hadith. The topic on prophetic medicine indeed gains certain attention in contemporary research. However, the discourse does revolve around several well-known medicinal plants, instead of accentuating the predominant others which are shrouded in archaic words. Conversely, as applied in the bygone Islamic civilization, the knowledge about beneficial plants in the fraternity of medicine was preserved within its discourse. To disclose the scholarly culture of the meant civilization, this study employs a qualitative approach, as it collects data through literature review, being Kitāb al-Ṭibb, Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhāriy (KṬṢB) and al-Tadhkirah as main sources supported by other related references. Then, the data will be interpreted through contextual analysis to learn the meanings of each archaic word related to medicinal plant in KṬṢB. Furthermore through textual analysis, the sustainability of knowledge regarding the plants in al-Tadhkirah can be traced. Ultimately, this study manages to find six medicinal plants which are shrouded in archaic words of KṬṢB; namely great burdock, common wheat, Indian costus, al-wars, wild olive and papyrus. The medicinal plants which were recommended by the prophet p.b.u.h. in the 7th century CE remained known across past generations as a result of scholarship legacy and provision of dictionaries of archaic words. As referring to the book on medicine called al-Tadhkirah by al-Anṭākiy dated to 17th century CE, the six medicinal plants were known and their medicinal properties were recognized. Actually, this study which is set on the limited scope is a move to unveil the lesser-known medicinal plants. The sustainability in acquiring the meaning of archaic words which shroud medicinal plants as exemplified by past civilization is crucial. In fact, there are many medicinal herbs hidden inside archaic words of the saying of the prophet. There are as well archaic names for substances utilized in apparel industry, cosmetic concoction and veterinary medicine. Further research can be achieved to trace them in compilation of hadith.

Hyperspectral imaging is a technique that captures and analyzes light across a wide range of the electromagnetic spectrum, typically from the ultraviolet to the short-wave infrared. It is used to identify and quantify the chemical composition of materials by analyzing their spectral signatures. The technique is based on the principle that different materials reflect and absorb light in different ways, and that these variations in reflection and absorption can be used to identify and quantify the materials. A hyperspectral imaging system captures a wide range of wavelengths of light, and the resulting data is analyzed to identify the materials present in the image. The process of hyperspectral imaging typically involves capturing an image of the target object or scene, which is then analyzed using special software. The software can be used to identify the spectral signature of the object or scene, which can be used to identify the materials present in the image. The software can also be used to produce maps and other visualizations of the data, which can be used to identify patterns and features in the data. It's important to note that hyperspectral imaging is a complex and specialized technique that requires specialized equipment and expertise to properly capture and analyze the data.

Small cardamom (Elettaria cardamomum), commonly referred to as the “Queen of Spices”, is a highly valued spice crop, which is known to have its origin in South India and Sri Lanka. It is one of the oldest spices of the world and is the third most expensive spice after saffron and vanilla. Despite its economic importance, in terms of global market price that this crop commands, very scarce genomic information is available for this crop. This severely limits the feasibility and success of various crop improvement endeavours. To overcome this limitation, the genome of the small cardamom variety, Njallani Green Gold was sequenced. This is the first report for the de novo assembled draft genome sequence of small cardamom. The assembled genome length was 1.06 Gb (gigabases), captured in 8000 scaffolds with a N50 of 0.15 Mb. A total of 68,055 gene models were predicted. The whole genome sequence (WGS) was utilized for the development of 2,27,808 SSR (simple sequence repeat) markers, based on flanking sequence information. A few of these were validated by performing molecular profiling of sixty diverse cardamom accessions. The SSR marker EC 49 was identified to possess the highest polymorphism information content (PIC) of 0.80. Many other highly polymorphic SSR markers, namely EC 1, EC 33, EC 47, EC 89, EC 90, EC 106, EC 183, EC 193, EC 196 and EC 212 were identified with a PIC value > 0.60. The SSR markers identified will serve as important genomic resources in cardamom. Many of these can be used for marker-assisted breeding for crop improvement and for germplasm characterization. The information on utilization of the SSR loci for generation of markers has been developed into a public database, the ‘cardamomSSRdb’. This database is freely available for use by the cardamom community.

Over centuries, medicinal plants have been vital suppliers of natural products and treatments. Alstonia macrophylla Wall. ex G. Don emerging as a significant candidate due to its extensive use in traditional medicine across Southeast Asia. This study explores the phytochemical, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties of Alstonia macrophylla leaf extracts, with an emphasis on ethanolic extract due to its efficacy in extracting a broad range of bioactive compounds. Phytochemical analyses were conducted on extracts prepared using solvents of varying polarities, including Petroleum ether, Ethyl acetate, Methanol, Ethanol, Hexane, and Water, to identify key constituents such as alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, and reducing sugars. Antimicrobial activity of the ethanolic extract was tested against bacterial and fungal strains (e.g., Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli) at concentrations of 10, 25, 50, and 100 mg/mL. Antioxidant potential was assessed through radical-scavenging assays, and IC50 values were compared to ascorbic acid. High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) analyses were performed to identify and characterize major bioactive compounds. Ethanolic extraction yielded high levels of bioactive compounds, including alkaloids, flavonoids, saponins, and reducing sugars. Antimicrobial testing showed concentration-dependent inhibition, with significant zones of inhibition against S. aureus and E. coli, especially at higher concentrations. DMSO exhibited notable antimicrobial activity, suggesting potential synergistic effects or inherent antimicrobial properties. The ethanolic extract demonstrated moderate antioxidant activity, with IC50 values indicating it as a natural antioxidant but less potent than ascorbic acid. HPTLC and GC-MS analyses revealed key bioactive compounds, such as Benzenemethanol and 19-oxo-12-methoxyechitamidine, with potential antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant effects. This study highlights the therapeutic potential of Alstonia macrophylla leaf extracts, especially the ethanolic extract, for antimicrobial and antioxidant applications. The identification of unique bioactive compounds through HPTLC and GC-MS offers insight into Alstonia macrophylla’s bioactive profile, supporting its traditional medicinal use and paving the way for further research on isolated compounds for drug development.
