| dc.description.abstract | Bark is the outermost layers of stems and roots of woody plants. Plants with bark include trees, woody vines, and shrubs. Bark refers to all the tissues outside of the vascular cambium and is a nontechnical term. Products used by people that are derived from bark include: bark shingle siding and wall coverings, spices and other flavorings, tanbark for tannin, resin, latex, medicines, poisons, various hallucinogenic chemicals and cork. Bark has been used to make cloth, canoes, and ropes and used as a surface for paintings and map making. A number of plants are also grown for their attractive or interesting bark colorations and surface textures or their bark is used as landscape mulch. It serves as protection against damage from parasites, herbivorous animals and diseases, as well as dehydration and fire. Cork can containantiseptics like tannins, that protect against fungal and bacterial attacks that would cause decay. So we were very much interested to study the barks of moraceae family, they were Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam., Ficus bengalensis L., Ficus racemosa L., Ficus religiosa L. and Morus nigra L., The bark containing phytochemical compounds, pharmacognostical behavior and mycoflora were screened in this study. | en_US |
