Scientific term:Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn

Good name:Lotus Flower, East Indian Lotus

Background:

The lotus flower is the lotus section lotus to belong to many years to get a water to get herbs, and then call lotus.The ancient time calls lotus, Han Dan, Fu Qu.The lotus flower is produced in China at first, usually planting in the water garden.The lotus is an Indian national flower.

The floral root-stock plants on the silt of the garden pond or the river bottom, and the lotus leaf stand a surface.Grow blossom in stretching out surface several stems of Li rices.The lotus flower grows to 150 the Li rices generally high, horizontal expand to 3 meters.The lotus leaf is the biggest and can attain diameter 60 Li rices.The lotus of stirring person's attention the biggest diameter can reach to 20 Li rices.

The lotus flower contain many different cultivation specieses, assortment from snow-white, yellow go to pale red.

The lotus can breed with the seed or root-stock.The special BE, the seed lotus seed of the lotus flower can survive for last thousand yearses.There was scientist to grow some there are thousand years, the lotus seed of the history, the lotus flower for breeding is still organic full of life.Two ancient lotus seeds of the detection in the Yang Shao cultural ruins, have over in 3000 history, but too precious, do not carry on a cultivation to experiment.

The lotus originates African coast, region(south in Tunisia). Jot down according to the ancient cultural heritage, the fruit of the lotus has miraculous strength.In the Homer of the epic poetry Odyssey, food lotus let the fruit that the attendant of mile west Si ate lotus- Then they will forget an own motherland. The lotus usage's history in the hairdressing wants to trace back to to very several centuries ago. Its ability soft skin, and the Chong blood phenomenon of slow beehive organization.

The scientific term of the lotus flower is a Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn., Get herbs for many years that belong to the lotus section(Nelumbonaceae), grow the subterranean stem that walks in the mud Central Cross-Island highway, is also the lotus root that we are so called, the appearance of the subterranean stem has two:

The subterranean stem expected before growing is slender, growing the in the late subterranean stem to then become to store bulky appearance.Leaf the shield form, the petiole is located leaf's slice of central.The leaf is growing initial stage is afloat on the surface, the maturity expects to be then pretty to grow out the surface.The flower petal of the pink is the most familiar, the other still is red, wait in vain a color.

The blossom is central to pour coniform part is a floral receptacle, be called lotus Peng generally.The lotus seed is the generic name of the fruit and seed, being called nutlet(nutlet) on the botany, presenting oval, being located the top of the floral receptacle cave go into of place.After lotus seed goes to hull namely seed, grow skin thinner, bring brown, "lotus seed" that we eat is "cotyledon" that have already removed to grow skin and Pei, the color presents white, this appearance characteristic that is the lotus flower mostly.

Medicinal, Economic and Nutraceutical Importance

Lotus possesses many medicinal, economic and nutraceutical properties. In the ancient medicinal literature, it has been reported in several Ayurvedic formulations as sweet, cooling, astringent, demulcent useful in weakness, dysentery, diarrhoea, in burning sensation during fever and also in curing cough and cold. The flowers are commended as cardiotonic, liver, urinary and veneral disorders. The seeds are highly valued in conception, blood disorders and as cooling medicine. The leaves and rhizomes in powdered form are prescribed for the treatment of piles. The rhizomes and fresh seeds are edible and cooked for the preparation of several delicious dishes. The farinaceous rhizomes ‘Kamal Kakdi’ are edible and sold in the vegetable market. The leaves are used as plates in rural areas for serving the food. Lotus flowers are in great demand in the floriculture market.

Hypoglycaemic activity of Nelumbo nucifera gaertn. (Fam. Nymphaeaceae) rhizome (methanolic extract) in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats

The hypoglycaemic effect of the rhizome extract of Nelumbo nucifera was studied in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. A methanol extract of the plant obtained by soxhlet extraction from finely pulverized rhizomes was used. The LD50 of the extract was found to be 2 g/kg. The extract (300 mg/kg and 600 mg/kg, orally) caused a reduction of blood glucose levels in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats by 53% (p<0.001) and 55% (p<0.001) respectively at the end of 12 h. The results of this study indicate that the methanol extract of the rhizome possesses favourable hypoglycaemic activity in hyperglycaemic animals taking chlorpropamide as a standard.

The proinflammatory cytokine of tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF) level in the serum of LPS-challenged mice. Simultaneously, supplementation with lotus plumule significantly increased the levels of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10 produced by peritoneal macrophages from LPS-challenged mice. The results indicated that lotus plumule supplementation significantly inhibited the production of pro-inflammatory cytokine TNF- and increased that of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. It can be concluded that lotus plumule supplementation before systemic inflammation attenuates the acute inflammation status in vivo.

By using RT-PCR method, complete cds of CuZnSOD gene were amplified from cDNA of Nelumbo nucifera (lotus). Nucleotide sequence analysis of this cDNA clone revealed that it was 461 base pair, and that comprises start codon and stop codon which encoded a protein of 152 amino acid residues with molecular weight of 1.552×10^4 and isoelectric point(PI) of 4.515. Comparing these sequences with other CuZnSOD genes from GenBank, it reveals a similarity higher than 80%-86% at the nucleotide level, and 89%-94% at the amino acid level. All known key-functional sites are still existed in it. Phylogenic tree a nalysis between Nelumbo nucifera CuZnSOD and other plant CuZnSOD like protein provide evidence at the molecular biology level for the establishment of the systematics of Nelumbo which is still disputed.
