Background: An ethnobotanical field study was conducted in 17 villages of the Shigar valley (Central Karakorum Ranges), northern Pakistan to explore phyto-cultural diversity related non-ethnomedicinal uses.Methods: Eighty-four (84) interviews were seventeen villages, yielding 52 plant taxa species 25 families and 46 genera.Results: The family Asteraceae dominant followed by Lamiaceae, Rosaceae Tamaricaceae. lower temperate zone used most, with 27 (51%) while 18 (48%) 7 (13%) belonged sub...
Limited health facilities and malnutrition are major problems in the Karakorum Range of Northern Pakistan, often resulting various human disorders. Since centuries, however, local communities these areas have developed traditional methods for treating ailments foods capes that can be significant devising public nutritional policies. This study was intended to document ethnobotanical knowledge peoples Tormik Valley, especially medical food domains.Field trips were undertaken 14 different...
The inhabitants of mountainous terrains depend on folk therapies to treat various ailments; however lack plant based research and geographical constraints set the traditional knowledge in jeopardy. Present study is first documentation uses species by Shigar Valley, Karakorum Range, Northern Pakistan. Ethnobotanical data were collected over a period from July, 2013 October, 2016 84 respondents, using semi structured questionnaire. Quantitative indices such as relative frequency citation...
Ethnobotanical field surveys were carried out in the Tanawal area of Lesser Himalayan Region, Khyber Pakhtunkhawa, Province from April 2016 to October 2017. The is located between 34.36 (34° 21’ 30 N) latitude and 73.07 (73° 4’ 0 E) longitude with an average elevation 1374 meters above sea level. Ethnomedicinal data collected through Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA), participants selected snow-boll technique. Semi-structured, in-depth open-ended interviews conducted. quantitatively...
Multiple abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, heat, and cold stress prevailing in natural habitats affect plant growth development. Different species modify their structural functional traits to combat these while growing stressful environments. Cenchrus species, i.e., pennisetiformis, C. setiger, prieurii are widely distributed grasses found all over the world. Samples from populations were collected different ecological regions Punjab Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa that exposed aridity, cold,...
Abstract Tanacetum falconeri is a significant flowering plant that possesses cytotoxic, insecticidal, antibacterial, and phytotoxic properties. Its chemodiversity bioactivities, however, have not been thoroughly investigated. In this work, several extracts from various parts of T. were assessed for their chemical profile, antioxidant activity, potential enzyme inhibition. The total phenolic contents varied 40.28 ± 0.47 mg GAE/g to 11.92 0.22 in extracts, while flavonoid found highest TFFM...
Soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merr.] has increasing nutritional, commercial, and economical value, P K nutrition may be needed to increase yield profit. A 2‐yr (2008–2009) field experiment with rainfed soybean was conducted in the hilly region of state Azad Jammu Kashmir (AJK), at Rawalakot, Pakistan. The aim study evaluate effects P–K fertilization on root nodulation, seed yield, composition N, P, uptake. a randomized complete block design three replications. Treatments included levels (60,...
Traditional ecological knowledge, linguistic, and sociocultural perspectives are key contributors to environmental sustainability. Therefore, it is essential identify preserve this biocultural heritage, especially that of indigenous communities minorities. We conducted an ethnobotanical survey document the plant species used by Balti Shina living in buffer zone Deosai National Park (DNP), western Himalayas, Pakistan. A combination random purposive sampling techniques was adapted, targeting...
Plant photosynthesis and biomass production are closely associated traits but critical to unfavorable environmental constraints such as salinity drought. The relationships among stress tolerance, photosynthetic mechanisms, ethanol yield were assessed in Phragmites karka. growth parameters, leaf gas exchange chlorophyll fluorescence of P. karka studied when irrigated with the control 100 300 mM NaCl a nutrient solution water deficit conditions (drought, at 50% holding capacity). plant shoot...
The present work focuses on the optimization of energy conversion process and use algal resources for biodiesel production with ultrasound microwave techniques in Oedogonium, Oscillatoria, Ulothrix, Chlorella, Cladophora, Spirogyra first time. fuel properties are investigated to optimize efficiency newly emerging feedstock. study indicates that optimized technique improves lipid extraction (38.5, 34, 55, 48, 40, 33%, respectively). Moreover, ultrasonic was also effective extracting more...
Due to modernization and urbanization, traditional medicinal herbs their associated knoweldge are under peril of being lost. The current study not only aimed document the trend herbal plant uitlization in District Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan, but also raised alarming concerns about conservation these knowledge linked them. data were collected from local people, herbalists, gardeners by using standard ethnobotanical methods, i.e., questionnaires interviews. Results reported that a lower number...
Background: Ethnobotanical studies underpin the understanding of plant-people interaction in any geographical area along with conservation strategies and priorities. The current study was carried out marginalized communities residing North Eastern Indo-Pak border Depalpur its adjoining areas Punjab Province, Pakistan. Methods: Snow-ball random sampling techniques were employed for participants. They semi-structurally interviewed open ended questions collection desired data. Results:...
Interleukin-2 has emerged as a potent protein-based drug to treat various cancers, AIDS, and autoimmune diseases. Despite its immense requirement, the production procedures are inefficient meet demand. Therefore, efficient must be adopted improve protein yield decrease procedural loss. This study analyzed cytoplasmic periplasmic IL-2 expression for increased significant biological activity. The is focused on cloning into pET-SUMO pET-28a vector that expresses in soluble form inclusion...
Human communities that inhabit the political borders live a transitional life, which is due to several socio-political and geo-climatic factors. The current cross-cultural ethnomedicinal study was conducted at highly elevated Pakistan-India of Western Himalayas in order address medicinal flora folk knowledge Balti Shina communities. Ethnobotanical field surveys were from May 2021 September 2022, purposive sampling techniques employed. We used semi-structured interviews collect data....
The major commercial crops in Pakistan are citrus fruit trees, which farmed extensively and serve as the country's principal source of foreign exchange. A local plant,
Heavy metals are notoriously toxic pollutants which can potentially harm living beings and serious health hazards. The aim of the present study was to assess levels cadmium (Cd) nickel (Ni) throughout year in urban areas densely populated industrial city Faisalabad eight commonly raised ornamental tree species with phytoremediation potential. High Cd Ni were recorded all areas, spatio-temporal heterogeneity. metal uptake varied among plant soil ranging between 6.78–8.57 mgkg−1 46.31–55.85 mg...
The moist temperate forests extend along the whole length of outer ranges Himalaya between subtropical pine and sub-alpine timberline formation with a rainfall from 400 mm to 800 mm. altitudinal range is 1500 m 3000 m. floristic variation in these Himalayan poorly understood especially study area. Species composition may be either unpredictable or it correspond environmental heterogeneity. Vegetation 144 stands 2000 – 2700 altitude was sampled. Soil samples were collected document edaphic...
