Soil salinity severely affects plant nutrient use efficiency and is a worldwide constraint for sustainable crop production. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria, with inherent tolerance, are able to enhance growth productivity by inducing modulations in various metabolic pathways. In the present study, we reported isolation characterization of salt-tolerant rhizobacterium from Kallar grass [Leptochloa fusca (L.) Kunth]. Sequencing 16S rRNA gene revealed its lineage Staphylococcus sciuri it...
Soil and water contamination from heavy metals metalloids is one of the most discussed caused adverse effects on food safety marketability, crop growth due to phytotoxicity, environmental health soil organisms. A hydroponic investigation was executed evaluate influence citric acid (CA) copper (Cu) phytoextraction potential jute (Corchorus capsularis L.). Three-weeks-old seedlings C. were exposed different Cu concentrations (0, 50, 100 μM) with or without application CA (2 mM) in a nutrient...
Copper (Cu) is an important micronutrient for a plant’s normal growth and development. However, excess amount of Cu in the soil causes many severe problems plants—which ultimately affect crop productivity yield. Moreover, contents oxidative damage plant tissues by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS). The present experiment was designed to investigate phytoextraction potential Cu, morpho-physiological features biochemical reaction jute (Corchorus capsularis L.) seedlings using...
Rising environmental concerns toward the use of synthetic chemicals as well global acceptance natural products has emphasized need for exploring novel and sustainable sources eco-friendly dyes textile sector.Our study was conducted to explore colorant potential black carrot (Daucus carota L.) plant residue processing optimizing conditions cotton dyeing.Cotton fabric dyed using carrot-based dye, extracted in varying media.The results revealed that colorants produced darker shades when...
Sustainable extraction of functional colorant from dye-yielding plant through microwave radiations is gaining popularity due to its cost, time and effective nature. Current study concerned with the microwave-assisted exploration Arjun bark natural for dyeing mordanted wool fabric. Extracts obtained in various media were irradiated up 6 min used dye wool. It found that acid methanol-solubilized extract (3 pH) 4 g powder upon irradiation has given darker shades onto at 75 min. FTIR analysis...
Background An ethnobotanical expedition was conducted to document the traditional (TEB) uses of wild flora Dawarian and Ratti Gali villages District Neelam, Azad Jammu Kashmir (AJK) Pakistan. Neelam has rich plant diversity is hub many endemic species while study areas are not yet explored. The research area: Rati (DRG) area mountaineous terrain located on far farther distances. DRG biocultural comprising different ethnic groups state. current aimed explore medicines (TEMs) other domestic...
Aedes mosquitoes are the most important group of vectors that transmit pathogens, including arboviruses, and cause human diseases such as dengue fever, yellow Zika virus, Chikungunya. Biosynthesis use green silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is a vital step to identify reliable eco-friendly controls for these vectors. In this study, (Ae.) aegypti larvae (2nd 3rd instar) were exposed leaf extracts Ricinus communis (Castor) AgNPs synthesized from extract evaluate their larvicidal potential....
In the industrial sector, vegetable residual materials have received attention in production of bio-colorant for textile dyeing. The current research endeavor is centered on investigating possibility using sugar beet leaves as a natural source dye purpose dyeing cotton fabrics. Different extraction methods were utilized to isolate present material, and most favorable colorant yield was obtained 5% methanolic KOH solution. For optimal results, fabric performed duration 45 min at temperature...
The current study was aimed to evaluate the beneficial effects and bioremediation potential of a Cd-tolerant bacterial strain, Serratia sp. CP-13, on physiological biochemical functions Linum usitatissimum L., under Cd stress.The strain isolated from wastewater collection point Chakera, Faisalabad, Pakistan, as this place contains industrial Faisalabad region. identified through 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, exhibited significant phyto-beneficial in terms vitro inorganic phosphate...

In this research, data collected through visual appraisal participatory approach using questionnaire method by applying semi-structured structured-interview protocols (S4...
Being macronutrient, K+ is involved in a number of metabolic processes including stimulation over 60 enzymes. The present study was conducted to investigate whether K-priming could alleviate the effects salinity on growth and nutrient status cotton seedlings. seeds two cultivars, namely FH-113 FH-87, were primed with solutions three potassium sources (KNO3, K2SO4 K2HPO4) using concentrations (0%, 1.25% 1.5%) each source. After 1 week germination, seedlings subjected (0 200 mM NaCl) stress....
