A database for medicinal and aromatic plants of JK (Jammu and Kashmir) in India

Abstract

High throughput screening of small molecules for a given drug target is achieved using plant materials of medicinal value. Therefore, it is important to document the availability and location of such medicinal plants in the form of a database. Here, we describe a web database containing information (botanical name, common name, local name, botany, chemistry, folklore medicinal use and medicinal uses) about the medicinal and aromatic plants available in JK (Jammu and Kashmir). The database is available for free in public domain. AVAILABILITY: http://www.bioinfoku.org/db/medsearch.php.
