چکیده

گیاه دارویی کارلا، با نام علمی Charantia Momordica گیاهی است گرمسیری و نیمه گرمسیری از تیره‌ی کدوئیان

که به طور گسترده‌ای در مناطق آسیایی، آفریقایی و آمریکای جنوبی جهت استفاده از میوه‌ی آن کشت می‌گردد. گیاه کارلا دارای خواص ضدمیکروبی، ضد سرطان، ضد دیابت، ضد انعقاد، ضد بارداری و ضد دیابت است. بنابراین برنامه‌ریزی اصولی جهت توسعه فعالیت‌ها و حفاظت، احیا و بهره‌برداری از این گیاه در عرصه‌های طبیعی بنیازمند بررسی دقیق وضعیت موجود، شناخت پتانسیل‌های موجود در عرصه‌های زراعی و منابع طبیعی به عنوان خاستگاه اصلی گونه‌های بومی کشور و شناخت صحیح از محدودیت‌ها و چالش‌ها همگام با توسعه علمی فرآوری و مصرف آن می‌باشد. این مطالعه نیز در راستای شناخت پتانسیل‌های دارویی، فیتوشیمیایی، اقتصادی و ... گیاه مورینگا صورت گرفته است.

این مطالعه نیز در راستای شناخت پتانسیل‌های دارویی، فیتوشیمیایی، اقتصادی و ... گیاه مورینگا صورت گرفته است. این مطالعه نیز در راستای شناخت پتانسیل‌های دارویی، فیتوشیمیایی، اقتصادی و ... گیاه مورینگا صورت گرفته است
