the first report of a phytoplasma disease on fennel
from India (Samad et al., 2002).
Conclusion
In this review the detailed information as presented on
the phytochemicals and various biological properties
of the
F. vulgare
. Historically,
F. vulgare
has been
used for the number of ethnobotanical purposes. At
present,
F. vulgare
has become an important source of
medicine for curing various human and animal
diseases. A part from exploring possibilities to prepare
standardized drugs by using different plant parts of
F.
vulgare
i.e. production of tea by using its fruits should
be promoted as a laxative for children at home as well
as commercial scale. Hence, extensive research is
required to find out the mechanisms of action as well
as bioactivity of the various phytochemicals and
efficacy of the medicinal values of
F. vulgare
. Thus in
the near future
F. vulgare
extracts could be further
exploited as a source of useful phytochemical
compounds and may play a very important role in
modern system of medicine.
