Scientific India
|May-June 2023
High-school textbooks have made us learn that there is a Giant Seqouia tree in Sequoia National Park in California that is over 300 feet tall and is the largest plant on this Earth
Research explorations have identified Pando, a grove of aspen tree Populus tremuloides in Utah as the largest plant. It is a group of 50,000 tree trunks all having single roots spread over an area of 43ha. They originated "clonally" form same root and spread adventitiously in this entire area. Recently, an even bigger flowering plant has been reported in a study by Edgeloe and his team 2022 which is a seagrass. Poseidon's ribbon weed, Posidonia australis inhabiting Shark Bay, Australia is a group of clonally propagated grass having modified root, rhizome, as an anchor spread in an area of 180 km off the coastal regions. And to the surprise, it is a single plant multiplied vegetatively by breaking off its rhizomes and producing clones for propagation since last 4500 years bearing all sorts of climate and environmental fluctuations.

Gut Microbes and Yoga: The Hidden Harmony for Healthy Aging and Well-Being
The human gut is home to trillions of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and archaea. In fact, the number of microbial cells in your body might outnumber your human cells by about 10 to 1! About 70% of your immune system is located in your gut. Your gut microbes help train your immune system to differentiate between harmful invaders and harmless substances, thus playing a big role in preventing autoimmune diseases. Just like a rainforest, the gut microbiota is a diverse and complex ecosystem. A healthy gut has a balanced mix of different types of microbes, which can help prevent the overgrowth of harmful bacteria.
