In the world and Indian market, the cinnamon available is not the true cinnamon (Cinnamomum verum), but its avatar, viz. the fake cinnamon (C. cassia). The latter contains coumarin, which at high doses, has been found to cause hepatotoxicity, carcinogenesis and liver/lung tumours in rodents. However, such ill effects in humans due to coumarin are rare and only associated with high doses. A toxicological reevaluation of coumarin aimed to derive scientifically founded maximum limits is imperative.Full Text

The Piperpep database is a compilation of peptide data from mass spectrometry analysis of a medicinally important export oriented crop - black pepper, developed by the fact that any mass spectrometry derived data would be an excellent source for genome annotation in future. This database has 1001 peptides, including 36 antimicrobial peptides annotated from the leaf of black pepper. The user friendly browsing and search tools would help the researcher with crop improvement in black pepper and also in other crops via peptide or protein data. The information on antimicrobial peptides in this database is expected to cater towards development of new drugs for agricultural and medicinal uses.Full Text

The Indian agricultural scenario has witnessed a sea change in production and productivity over the past decades – from a mere 522 kg/ha of food grains that include cereals and pulses in 1950–51 to over 2040 kg/ha during 2015–16 (www.indiaagristat.com). Similarly, the horticulture sector has also made a tremendous and impressive progress, and horticultural production during 2018–19 is expected to be an all-time high of 314.67 million tonnes from 25.87 million hectares. The major challenge in the years to come is to sustain the production from the diminishing natural resources of land, water and nonavailability of skilled manpower.Full Text
