Abstract

Introduction: Homegardens are one of the oldest agroforestry systems reported around the world. These agroforestry systems are often reported as harbingers of plant biodiversity conservation. However, a comprehensive understanding of these systems from the perspective of species level agrobiodiversity conservation is often missing. Methodology: This study first visualizes the comprehensive role of homegardens in species level agrobiodiversity conservation and then assesses any variation in agrobiodiversity along diverse Socio-ecological Zones (SEZs) in the study site. The prominent SEZs identified in the study site were Protected Area (PA), Riverine (RI), Rural Market (RM), and Tea Estate (TE). Eight ethnic/linguistic groups were also identified at the study site. Agrobiodiversity inventorying of 192 homegardens from 16 villages was done. Results: The results of the study highlight that homegardens in the study site have high species level agrobiodiversity concentration (101 total tree species reported, 39.58% of homegardens (HGs) had more than 10 varieties of vegetables, 68% had atleast one variety of bamboo, 76% had atleast one banana variety, 20.83% had pond). A total of 64% of HGs had livestock and around 85% had poultry. Moreover, this agrobiodiversity distribution also varied along different SEZs. The livestock diversity indices ranged from 0.49 (TE) to 1.04 (PA). The average plant diversity among homegarden was found to be in the range of 1.09 (PA) to 1.48 (TE) for Shannon, 0.45 (PA) to 0.66 (TE) for Simpson, 0.31 (PA) to 0.71 (TE) for Pileou evenness and 2.39 (PA) to 2.76 (RM) for Margalef. The plant composition reflected the dominance of the food species i.e. an average of 37% in each SEZ. Sorenson similarity index among different SEZs for plant and livestock was found to be highest between the HGs of the PA and RM (0.82). Among the ethnic/linguistic groups, the highest mean number of plant species (51) was found among the Mishing tribe. Also, high similarity index (0.78) was found in plant and livestock composition among the Mishing and the Bodo tribes. Discussion: The findings imply that HGs exemplify diversified and integrated systems, showcasing their potential to play a crucial role in the development of sustainable food systems.

Abstract

Genome evolution of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) produces new strains resistant to various pre-existing anti-tubercular drugs. Hence, there is an urgent need to explore potent compounds with the most negligible side effects and effective Mtb inhibition. Mtb PyrG (CTP synthase) is a crucial enzyme for the conversion of the uridine triphosphate (UTP) into cytidine triphosphate (CTP) and is essential for the growth of Mtb. Thus, in this study, phytochemicals of Withania somnifera (W. somnifera) were screened to find the potential inhibitors against Mtb PyrG. Molecular docking resulted in the identification of quercetin 3-rutinoside-7-glucoside, rutin, chlorogenic acid and isochlorogenic acid C with a substantial docking score (from −12.6 to −10.8 kcal/mol) contributed by significant intermolecular interactions. Furthermore, 100 ns molecular dynamics simulation, ADME analysis and free binding energy calculations support the stability of docked complexes and drug-likeness for selected compounds, respectively. Collectively, these findings suggest that phytochemicals present in W. somnifera can be considered for further evaluation against Mtb in a series of in vitro and in vivo models.
