| Abstract: | The fruits of Piper longum Linn. are
very well-known medicine for diseases of the respiratory tract, viz. cough,
bronchitis, asthma, etc.; as counter-irritant, analgesic when applied locally
for muscular pains and inflammation and as general tonic and hematinic. They are
carminative and known to enhance the bioavailability of food and drugs. In this
paper recently developed micropropagation method by tissue culture and molecular
basis of genotypic differentiation between the male and female plants, using
Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique and development of sex
associated DNA markers have been discussed along with some medicinal and
pharmacological properties of the spice. |
