Oryza sativa, commonly known as rice, is a grass species cultivated extensively as a grain worldwide. There are two major subspecies of domesticated rice: indica varieties, which are nonsticky and commonly grown in lowlands; and japonica varieties, which are sticky and commonly grown in upland or temperate areas. Rice is a staple food in many parts of the world and is high in carbohydrates but low in fat and protein. It is also rich in various vitamins and minerals. Rice cultivation began in China and spread throughout Asia and later to other parts of the world. There have been efforts to develop rice varieties with improved traits like drought, salt, and disease tolerance to address environmental and agricultural

Charles Darwin was among the first to identify auxin while studying plant growth. Auxins are plant hormones that promote growth and were the first hormones discovered. They occur naturally as indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and can also be produced synthetically. Auxin is transported from the shoot tip to other parts of the plant where it promotes growth and inhibits root growth. It controls many developmental processes like phototropism, apical dominance, root initiation, flowering and fruit development.
Medicinal plants have been used for thousands of years and are the source of many important drugs. The document outlines several key plant families and species that have provided medically active compounds like terpenes, alkaloids, and steroids. It summarizes the historical use and isolation of important drugs from plants such as quinine from cinchona for malaria, ephedrine from ephedra, salicylic acid/aspirin from willows, cocaine from coca, steroids from dioscorea, cardiac glycosides from foxglove, and morphine from opium poppy.
Medicinal plants have been used for thousands of years and are the source of many important drugs. Terpenoids, alkaloids, and other chemical compounds from plants are the basis of many modern medicines. Some key plants and compounds discussed include quinine and malaria treatment from cinchona bark, morphine and codeine from opium poppy, digitalis for heart conditions, taxol as an anticancer drug from yew trees, and ergot alkaloids used to treat migraines that were also once responsible for poisoning outbreaks. Medicinal plants continue to be important sources for new drug discovery and development.
