Comparative Seasonal Profiling of Total Free Amino Acids in Euphorbia Indica and Euphorbia Microphylla Growing in Semi-Arid Ecosystems of Rajasthan, India
Abstract: The present study was carried out to estimate the total free amino acid content of various parts of Euphorbia indica and Euphorbia microphyll collected from the Bassi Wildlife Sanctuary area during rainy season. The aim of the study was to understand the organ-specific variation and metabolic adaptability of these wild species to the semi-arid environments. The dry weight (dw) of free amino acids in the leaves, stems and roots was mg/g. Euphorbia indica leaves had the following: 47.56 mg/g dw followed by stem (31.63 mg/g dw) and root (26.83 mg/g dw). A similar trend was observed in Euphorbia microphylla where it accumulated mainly in the leaves (43.66 mg/g dw) followed by the stem (39.75 mg/g dw) and root (36.80 mg/g dw). The results showed that leaves. Seasonal precipitation and good weather during the rainy season probably resulted in the formation of amino acids in both species. The study emphasizes the adaptive biochemical reactions and potential therapeutic significance of these plants as amino acids, free act as an important precursor for number of physiologically active chemicals. These results are based on the baseline biochemical data of naturally occurring species of Euphorbia from the Bassi Wildlife Sanctuary area of Rajasthan.
