Today, the most significant challenge encountered by food manufacturers is degradation in quality during storage, which countered expensive packing, causes enormous monetary and environmental costs. Edible packaging a potential alternative for protecting improving shelf life delaying microbial growth providing moisture gas barrier properties. For first time, current article reports preparation of new films from Ditriterpenoids Secomeliacins isolated Melia azedarach (Dharek) Azadirachta...
Aims The efficacy of three isolates endophytic Penicillium species that have shown significant suppressive effect on root rotting fungi in our previous study were further evaluated pots and field plot experiments for their diseases okra, induction systemic resistance physiochemical properties okra fruit. Methods Results Aqueous suspensions Pseudomonas monteilii applied plots using as test plant. Data the fungal infection roots, plant growth, markers like polyphenol, salicylic acid...
Dual symbiosis played an effective role in drought condition and temperature. Furthermore, performed services absorption of water solubilization chief nutrients specially phosphorus for growth plants. Phosphorous is essential plant any climatic because central constituent ATP providing chemical energy all metabolic reactions plants.The goal this work was to monitor the under three conditions comparison control Glomus fasciculatum inoculation related with adequate supply phosphorous.Results...
The remediation in plant enzymatic activities Cd-contaminated soil was monitored through tea waste. Tea is an extensively used beverage worldwide with the release of a high quantity waste utilized growing condition Helianthus annuus on Cd metal contaminated soil. study plan for natural environmental greenhouse. For this purpose, four sets plants were cultivated triplicate and marked as (i) control, (ii) stress plants, (iii) dry stress, (iv) fresh stress. improved efficiency biochemical...
Abstract The work aimed to assess the restoration of metal-contaminated soil pH and EC impacts on Cd accumulation in plants Helianthus annuus (Sunflower) through tea waste a natural environment. Various doses metal treatment (1–5 ppm) were provided with two sets organic matter (tea waste) dry wet state. analyzed using analytical procedures like AAS, SEM EDS, while measured conductivity meter. mitigating effect was observed (6.2–6.9) soil, which reflected by healthy growth plants. It...
Background: Lignin and cellulose, organic constituents of the plant or plant-based material not commonly used for feeding purpose are referred as Biomass. Patents suggest that this can be best resource renewable energy. Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhizae (VAM) fungi play an effective role in biomass manufacturing through activated metabolism under dual symbiosis. During C acclimatization, mycorrhizal inoculated plants existent greater number leaves with a height compared to non-mycorrhizal...
An effort was made after detailed literature survey and few experiments, conducted at Laboratory conditions about the VAM fungus inoculated plants; they have large surface area more photosynthetic rate, can assimilate CO2, even grow in drought condition including water deficiency high temperature. For this purpose, a greenhouse pot experiment which soil manifested with fungi used Conocarpus erectus L (common on green belt of Karachi Streets) selected for testing fungal engineering. Results...
Abstract This article explores the extraction of iodine contents in Ipomoea pes-caprae plants using modified Mohr’s method applied to a biological extract prepared an aqueous solution. The were collected from three coastal regions Arabian Sea at Karachi coast, privileged as resource areas. size stem, leaves, and flowers was measured after transportation into laboratory before preparation extract. It found be significantly different each other. electrical conductivity recorded through...
This article reports the three principal groups of compounds for first time from Adhatoda vasica and Calotropis procera plants species using nuclear magnetic resonance methods in which aliphatic, oxy heterocyclic, tannins were detected these plants. The leaves both subjected to testing tyrosinase inhibition antioxidant activities. ATP bioluminescence use indirect measurement amount organic residue on surface that provide support microbial growth. distinguishing characteristics intraoperative...
Abstract Fibroblasts are several cells that essential for human skin function and regulation process, the underfeed a further issue of disorder current study was based on isolated novel antibiotics compounds comparison (Chloramphenicol IV) with changes Extracellular matrix (RC), inflammatory (SC) non-complete cell division (ICD) effects fibroblasts wall in structural morphological changes. The new antibiotic were measured characters (FTIR) methods their functional group’s analysis bioactive...
Fluoride is one of the most hazardous problems associated with drinking water. Many areas have been abandoned due to high fluoride content. The state Rajasthan (India) in particular facing many levels salts, especially ground Concentration higher than permissible limits may cause impairment normal functioning plants and animals. Two oscillatorial species viz Oscillatoria anguina (Bory) Gomond O. laete-virens (Crouan) were studied for their absorption potential. Water samples collected from...
