The genus Phytopythium (Peronosporales) has been described, but a complete circumscription not yet presented.In the present paper we provide molecular-based evidence that members of Pythium clade K as described by Lévesque & de Cock (2004) belong to Phytopythium.Maximum likelihood and Bayesian phylogenetic analysis nuclear ribosomal DNA (LSU SSU) mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (COI) well statistical analyses pairwise distances strongly support status separate entity.Phytopythium...
An evaluation of the expression and predictive significance
Background Dyspepsia is one of the most common worldwide gastrointestinal disorders, more prevalent in developing countries like Pakistan. One causes dyspepsia Helicobacter pylori. Therefore, this study aimed to determine frequency H. pylori infection among dyspeptic patients presenting a tertiary care hospital Karachi, Methodology This cross-sectional was conducted from January 2021 March 2022 at Medical Ward VII, Jinnah Postgraduate Center, Karachi. In study, 370 aged 18 years or higher...
Strawberry is a non-climacteric fruit but exhibits very limited postharvest life due to rapid softening and decay. Therefore, the current study was carried out evaluate effects of different types edible coatings extend strawberry fruit. The fruits cultivar Chandler, grown under agro-climatic conditions Multan, were coated with Aloe vera gel, chitosan (2%) or sodium alginate kept in refrigerated storage at 5-7 °C 50-60% RH for 12 days. evaluated sensory biochemical quality attributes after...
Greenhouse cultivation of vegetables, especially cucumber in hydroponic/soilless culture, has been developed different parts the world. There is an expanding interest hydroponics because they can produce fresh food closer to urban areas. The objective this study was evaluate efficiency biopesticides: matrine (extract from Sophora flavescens), spintoram (derived soil bacterium Saccharopolyspora spinosa), azadirachtin (neem extract), and Annona squamosa (custard apple extract) against cotton...
Curd is the most widespread traditional fermented milk product used by a large population and good source of vitamin B, protein, calcium. In this study, isolation exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing strains Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus from curd samples was carried out. Identification EPS-producing done Gram staining, catalase activity, sugar fermentation test, API 50 CHL, PCR analysis. These were subjected for estimation technological properties such as titratable acidity,...
Background Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is one of the most prevalent causes chronic gastritis that can lead to gastric cancer if left untreated. Currently, endoscopy and histology are gold standard tests for diagnosis H. gastritis. Recently, studies have shown utility narrow-band imaging (NBI) in predicting Therefore, we aimed determine diagnostic accuracy NBI patients with dyspepsia. Methodology After obtaining approval from Ethical Review Committee, Sindh Institute Urology...

Diagnosis of dieback and gummosis (caused by Lasiodiplodia theobromae (Pat.)) on mango in Sindh, Pakistan is described, including: taxonomy; symptoms signs; host range; geographical distribution; pathogen isolation, identification, storage; pathogenicity tests. Accepted for publication 16 January 2004. Published 2 March
Background: ATP-binding cassette Super-family G member 2 protein is an active ATPbinding transporter with the potential to combat cancer stem cells. Objective: Due lack of inhibitors, we screened natural which could be a safe source control multidrug resistance by blocking regulation protein. Methods: Three-dimensional structure downloaded from databank and chemical structures 166 selected compounds training dataset were retrieved PubChem. Drug-likeness docking analysis was conducted...
Endophytic fungi are receiving attention as sources of structurally novel bioactive secondary metabolites towards drug discovery from natural products. This study reports the isolation and characterization an endophytic fungus Aspergillus nidulans, associated with Nyctanthes arbor-tristis Linn., a plant which has traditional use to cure many ailments including cancer.The objective this was evaluate antiproliferative activity A. nidulans N. on three human cancer cell lines, lung (NCI-H460),...
Abstract Sodium aescinate (SA) is a vital salt of sodium escin from Aesculus wilsonii Rehd seeds. SA injection (SAI) has received great success in treating cerebral edema, venous reflux disease and other inflammatory conditions. Recently, high incidences immediate hypersensitivity reactions were reported after infusion, which raised questions on safety risk associated with its clinical application. This study was designed to check whether SAI four components induce degranulation using...
