Citrus black rot disease being caused by Alternaria citri is a major of citrus plants with 30-35% economic loss annually. Fungicides had not been effective in the control this during last few decades. In present study, antifungal role green synthesized zinc oxide (ZnO) and copper (CuO) nanoparticles (NPs) were studied against citri. was isolated from fruits samples identified staining lacto phenol cotton blue. Furthermore, CuO ZnO NPs utilizing lemon peels extract as reducing capping agent....
In agriculture, the search for higher net profit is main challenge in economy of producers and nano biochar attracts increasing interest recent years due to its unique environmental behavior productivity plants by inducing resistance against phytopathogens. The effect rice straw fly ash nanoparticles (RSBNPs FNPs, respectively) combination with compost soil on bacterial leaf spot pepper caused Xanthomonas campestris pv. vesicatoria was investigated both vitro vivo. application as amendment...
Abstract Determining phosphate (PO 4 −3 ) and sulphate (SO −2 is highly significant in agricultural sciences practices for the sustainable growth of crops. Their deficiencies have reflective properties on transcriptome many metabolic pathways. Therefore, this study planned to monitor concentrations both ions first time through conductometric titration using BaCl 2 . For purpose, leaves Spinacia oleracea L., Thorn Apple , Rangoon Creeper plants were collected from Karachi transported...
Globally, mineral nitrogen (N) losses as nitrate leaching (NL) are a substantial portion of applied fertilizer and cause surface sub-surface water contamination. To precisely measure NL its interlink parameters, biochar soil amendment was tested in this study. Three treatments—biochar (BC), without (WB) with 15N urea (300 kg/ha), control (no fertilization)—were soil-filled lysimeters (circular PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) tank 30 cm diameter 35 height) equipped moisture content sensors weighing...
Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi is Gram negative, rod shaped, facultative anaerobic bacterium, belongs to enterobacteriaceae family that causes typhoid fever in humans. This bacterium has become a super bug due acquisition of multi drug resistance. Bacteria transmitted through food and water contaminated with human feaces. Present study reports the screening Adhatoda vasica, Amaranthus hybridus Aloe barbadensis their evaluation against multi-drug resistant Typhi. Qualitative analysis ten...
Peaches are well-liked amongst the stone fruits in Pakistan. The peach industry faces significant losses, from harvesting to marketing. objective of this study was investigate effectiveness foliar sprays salicylic acid (SA) on fruit quality peaches (cv. 'Flordaking') at harvest and postharvest life or stages. Different concentrations SA (control, 1, 2 3 mM) were sprayed plants three growth stages fruit, i.e., cell division, enlargement pit-hardening In general, all treatments improved...
Virtual screening of an in-house virtual library synthetic compounds using FlexX, followed by enzyme inhibition, identified hydrazide and hydrazine derivatives as novel aspartic protease inhibitors. These inhibited human cathepsin D Plasmodium falciparum plasmepsin-II with low micromolar concentrations (IC(50) = 1-2.5 microM). Modelling studies predicted binding ligands at the centre extended substrate-binding cleft, where hydrazide/hydrazine parts inhibitors acted transition state mimic...
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...
Piumerinine, a novel lupin alkaloid has been isolated from the stem of Plumeria r u b and assigned s t c e 1 on basis spectral studies.This constitutes h f i example occurrence bicyclic alkaloids in subfamily Plumerioideae Apocyanaceae.
Micronutrient (iron, zinc and boron) deficiencies are a basic prominent factor affecting grape quality yield in the Pothwar region. To overcome these deficiencies, different levels of micronutrients were applied foliarly on grapevines at five berry developmental stages during two consecutive growing seasons (2018 2019). The data suggested that foliar treatment significantly increased yield, number bunches per vine, bunch weight, vines, length, cluster, diameter, weight cluster compactness....
The genus Bidens a member of family Compositae, is widely documented as an ethno-medicinally important plants. In the present study, anticancer potential three species i.e., B. bipinnata, biternata and pilosa were tested. For in-vitro evaluation, MTT (Thiazolyl blue tetrazolium bromide) assay was performed against cervical cancer cells (HeLa), hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG), adenocarcinoma human alveolar basal epithelial (A549). in vivo Artemia salina, Danio rerio, Caenorhabditis elegans...
Water stress is one of the major environmental stresses that affect agricultural production worldwide, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. This research investigated effect water deficit, induced by PEG-6000 on wheat genotypes (GA-2002, Chakwal-97, Uqab-2000, Chakwal-50 Wafaq-2001) grown modified MS medium solution. Osmotic caused a more pronounced inhibition leaf relative content membrane stability sensitive (index Wafaq-2001 Uqab-2000) compared with tolerant (Chakwal-50, GA-2002...
The two herbal plants of Adhatoda vasica and Calotropis procera, commonly available in worldwide, were selected to explore their medicinal significance. isolation quantitative analysis ten important bioactive compounds such as P-hydroxy-benzoic, Stictic acid, Usnic Epigallocatechin gallate, Quercetin, Epigallocatechin, Catechin, Morin, Epicatechin Naringenin, isolated from various parts was performed by using UF-HPLC-DAD FTIR techniques. antioxidant potentials evaluated through six methods...
Gui Zhen Cao is an herbal formulation that has been documented in Chinese traditional medicine as a remedy for diarrhea, dysentery, inflammation, and toxicity. The sources of this (Bidens pilosa L., Bidens biternata (Lour.) Merr. & Sherff, bipinnata L.) are also listed ethnomedicinal reports all over the world. In study, these plants tested vitro anticandida activity. A quantitative evaluation phytochemicals indicated their vegetative parts rich tannins, saponins, oxalates, cyanogenic...
Marigolds (Calendula officinalis L.) are valuable in ornamentation, human food, and other uses; to enhance productivity, plant growth regulators produce stimulatory effects, including salicylic acid (SA) spermidine (SP), but there is a lack of scientific evidence about such effects marigolds. The study assessed, under greenhouse conditions, changes physico-chemical parameters, enzymatic activity, bioactive compounds marigold cvs. Hybrid French marigolds were sprayed SA (1 2 mM) SP (2 3...
