About Database

Tribulus terrestris, also known as Chota Gokhuru, holds significant value as an annual medicinal herb. Its origins can be traced back to sub-tropical regions in Asia, including India, China, America, Mexico, and Bulgaria. The plant germinates in the month of July, while the flowering and fruiting seasons of T. terrestris is August-September. This herb has a longstanding traditional use in the treatment of several ailments, including cardiovascular conditions, spermatogenesis issues, leucorrhoea, sexual dysfunctions, rheumatism, piles, renal disorders, diuretic effects, antiseptic properties, headache relief, and kidney problems. The highest amount of diosgenin could be obtained in the flowering stage or just before the fruit matures. In this study, we have analysed transcriptome obtained from root, fruit, and leaf of T. terrestris. This transcriptome data will be useful for future genome assembly in T. terrestris, besides its use for the creation of a functionally relevant molecular marker resource to assist population genetics and conservation studies. The TribulusDataBase serves as a valuable resource for genes and their functional annotation. The database contains information about the gene and their functional annotation, Gene ontology, transcription factors, pathways and SSR markers with their designed primers.
