Abstract

Adenium obesum (Forssk.) Roem. & Schult., commonly known as the ‘desert rose,’ is a member of the Apocynaceae family, cultivated extensively in various tropical regions. While Adenium obesum is primarily used as an ornamental plant, previous research has documented its biological activities and phytochemical constituents. However, there has been no comprehensive review of its ethnobotanical applications. This study aims to summarize and discuss the ethnobotanical uses of Adenium obesum through a literature review. The ethnobotanical information of Adenium obesum can be categorized into five primary groups: ornamental plant, eco-print source, religious ceremonies, medicinal uses, and toxic effects. The plant is renowned for its aesthetic appeal, particularly its flowers and roots, often shaped into bonsai. This characteristic underscores its potential in the floriculture industry and agrotourism. In eco-printing, Adenium obesum creates patterns on fabrics through direct contact. In religious contexts, the plant is used in offerings and pilgrimage ceremonies at cemeteries. Adenium obesum has been approved for treating various diseases in humans and chickens. Conversely, it also possesses toxic properties that are harnessed for hunting purposes. Different regions and cultures employ Adenium obesum in diverse ethnobotanical applications. The findings conclude that Adenium obesum has significant ethnobotanical utility, presenting several prospects, such as its incorporation into the ornamental plant industry, agrotourism, and the development of other art objects or plant parts beyond its flowers. Furthermore, scientific validation is necessary to maximize the beneficial effects and manage the toxic properties of this plant to ensure its proper utilization.

Abstract

The Merrill palm (Adonidia merrillii) and the Yellow palm (Dypsis lutescens) are hosts of various pests. Garlic (Allium sativum) phytochemicals are applied as a phytopesticide and affect the plant host as well. On the other hand, studies related to garlic phytochemicals' effect on these palms are limited.  The present study was conducted to explore the effect of aqueous garlic bulb extract (AGBE) on the Merrill palm and the Yellow palm on those physiological dynamics and growth responses to apply the best concentration as a phytopesticide and observe the palm performance. AGBE is conducted by maceration and application by spraying. Variation AGBE concentrations were 12.5 g/100 mL, 25 g/100 mL, and 50 g/100 mL. The results revealed the profiles of the two palms were different, causing significant differences in growth, in which the Merrill palm was taller while Yellow palm greater leaf number increase; physiological response of two palms was not differing significantly on carbon dioxide concentration but differ significantly on stomatal opening percentage in 28 DAS (day after spraying) and chlorophyll content in 56 DAS; AGBE 25 g/100 mL suppress height increase significantly but leaf number increase not affected; AGBE did not influenced significantly on carbon dioxide, AGBE 50 g/100 mL significantly influenced on stomatal opening in 42 and 56 DAS but chlorophyll not significantly different, overall AGBE tend to inhibit all physiological response. This study concludes that AGBE concentrations in the current study are not recommended as a phytopesticide on both palms due to all concentrations generally inhibiting the growth and physiological response of these palms.
