	Third Symposium on Zingiberaceae
		The 3rd world symposium on the plant family Zingiberaceae was held July 7-12, 2002 at Khon Kaen, Thailand.
		There were seventeen oral presentations and over thirty poster presentations covering the taxonomy and systematics, morphology and cytology, enzymology and phytochemistry, pharmacognostics and ethnobotany, and the diversity and conservation of plants in the family Zingiberaceae.
		A new project was initiated, the Zingiberaceae Image Project, to compile images of zingiberaceous plants and place them on a website where they can be seen by anyone with access to the internet.

		Zingiberaceae are tropical, the most diverse family in the Old World.
		Species of Zingiberaceae are often spicy to the taste, and many of them have been used as medicines and flavorings.
		Species of the large tropical American genus Costus Linnaeus, sometimes included in Zingiberaceae but now usually placed in a separate family Costaceae, are cultivated as ornamentals in peninsular Florida and the Gulf Coast.

		They occur in tropical and subtropical climates of Asia and the Pacific, and are in great demand as ornamentals because of their flashy flowers.
		Curcuma is a member of the Zingiberaceae family and a relative newcomer to the world of cut flowers and ornamentals.
		The rhizome is the portion of the plant used medicinally; it is usually boiled, cleaned, and dried, yielding a yellow powder.Dried Curcuma longa is the source of the spice turmeric, the ingredient that gives curry powder its characteristic yellow color.

		Zingiberaceae are usually large and often aromatic rhizomatous herbs with 2-ranked leaves that have open sheaths; an inflorescence that is frequently branched; and pedicellate, monosymmetric flowers with a single stamen, the style running between the two halves of the large anther.
		Stem-group Zingiberaceae are dated to ca 79 mybp, divergence within the crown group to ca 26 mybp (Janssen and Bremer 2004: Tamijia amd Siphonochilus not included).

	Anti-tumour promoter activity in Malaysian ginger rhizobia used in traditional medicine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Zingiberaceae rhizomes commonly used in the Malaysian traditional medicine were screened for anti-tumour promoter activity using the short-term assay of inhibition of 12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced Epstein-Barr virus early antigen (EBV-EA) in Raji cells.
		A cytotoxicity assay was carried out to determine the toxicity of the Zingiberaceae rhizome extracts.
		Therefore, the present study shows that several Zingiberaceae species used in Malaysian traditional medicine contain naturally occurring non-toxic compounds that inhibit the EBV activation, which, if further investigated, could contribute in the development of cancer prevention methods at the tumour-promoting stage.

		The two plant families of Zingiberaceae and Rutaceae, in particular, were suggested to be promising sources for highly effective anti-tumour promoters.
		The screening data (Table 2) also indicate that the two plant families, Zingiberaceae and Rutaceae, are notable for their high frequency of remarkable inhibitory activities.
