Species distribution models (SDMs) are numerical tools that combine observations of species occurrence or abundance with environmental estimates. They used to gain ecological and evolutionary insights predict distributions across landscapes, ...Read More
In this article, we report results of a molecular docking analysis commonly occurring natural product compounds against COVID-19 6LU7 and 6Y2E proteases.Our show that several these have binding affinity both the proteases, compare well with known anti-HIV drug, Saquinavir.Many form an integral component many cuisines, Indian as others.We propose some could be easily quickly positioned to hold fort virus, until course newer therapies are discovered detailed studies taken empirically validate...
Abstract Endophytes, both of bacterial and fungal origin, are ubiquitously present in all plants. While their origin evolution enigmatic, there is burgeoning literature on role promoting growth stress responses hosts. We demonstrate that a salt-tolerant endophyte isolated from salt-adapted Pokkali rice, Fusarium sp ., colonizes the salt-sensitive rice variety IR-64, promotes its under salt confers salinity tolerance to host. Physiological parameters, such as assimilation rate chlorophyll...

Abstract Tropical trees often display long‐distance pollen dispersal, even in highly fragmented landscapes. Understanding how patterns of spatial isolation influence dispersal and interact with background fine‐scale genetic structure ( FSGS ) is critical for evaluating the consequences habitat fragmentation. In endangered tropical timber tree D ysoxylum malabaricum M eliaceae), we apply eleven microsatellite markers paternity parentage analysis to directly estimate historic gene flow...
Plants host numerous endophytic microbes which promote plant performance, in particular under stress. A new fungus was isolated from the leaves of a deciduous wood tree Leucas aspera. Morphological inspection and multilocus phylogeny identified as Trichoderma strain. If applied to Arabidopsis thaliana Nicotiana attenuata , it mainly colonizes their roots strongly promotes initial growth plants on soil. The grows high NaCl or mannitol concentrations, shows predatory capability pathogenic...
Non-timber forest products (NTFPs) constitute the single largest determinant of livelihoods for scores fringe communities and poor people in tropics. In India over 50 million are believed to be directly dependent upon NTFPs their subsistence. However, such human dependence on livelihood gains (win) has most frequently been at a certain ecological cost (lose). If maintained, existing ‘win-lose’ settings have steered ‘win-win’ mode, otherwise, there could severe erosion biological resources...
