The dusky cotton bug is a small insect that poses significant threat to crops. Due increasing reports on the development of resistance in this against insecticides, efforts control pest must involve other environment-friendly strategies. use nanoparticles (NPs) has generated an alternative control. objective study was evaluate insecticidal effect green synthesized titanium dioxide (TiO2) NPs using latex Calatropis procera 2nd and 4th instar nymph adult stage. optical properties were...
The present study is the first report dealing with Pakistani Fulvifomes species. A new species, aurantiacus, identified on basis of morpho-anatomical and phylogenetic analyses from Lahore, Pakistan. species characterized by pileate to sub-stipitate, basidiocarps having orange-brown pileal surface yellow ocher wide zones velutinous poroid hymenophore; 4–5 pores per millimeter, presence duplex context, dimitic hyphal system, absence hymenial setae contextual gleoplerous hyphae highly pigmented...

 Bacidina margallensis and B. iqbalii from Pakistan are described illustrated. Phylogeny of ITS nrDNA region confirms their position within the genus Bacidina, morphological data make them distinct other known species genus. Based on molecular data, corticolous appears to be a sister chloroticula, but morphologically, when dry, is most similar Europe mendax because granular warted greenish grey thallus, whitish-cream dark brown often piebald apothecia.
