Plant growth regulators and Rhizobium are actively involved in the regulation of flowering, pod formation, nodulation, ultimately yield legumes. However, very limited information is available on combined effect gibberellic acid (GA3) attributes legume crops. This experiment was designed to fill this gap by studying performance chickpea under exogenous application GA3 (10−4 10−5 M) alone combination with Rhizobium. Exogenous (10−5 rhizobium inoculation gave highest values for number nodules...
Sequences from the DNA barcode region of mitochondrial COI gene are an effective tool for specimen identification and discovery new species. The Barcode Life Data Systems (BOLD) (www.boldsystems.org) currently hosts 4.5 million records animals which have been assigned to more than 490,000 different Index Numbers (BINs), serve as a proxy Because fourth these BINs derive Lepidoptera, BOLD has strong capability both identify specimens in this order support studies faunal overlap. sequences were...
DNA barcodes were obtained for 81 butterfly species belonging to 52 genera from sites in north-central Pakistan test the utility of barcoding their identification and gain a better understanding regional barcode variation. These represent 25% fauna belong five families, although Nymphalidae dominant, comprising 38% total specimens. Barcode analysis showed that maximum conspecific divergence was 1.6%, while there 1.7-14.3% nearest neighbour species. records 55 <2% sequence Life Data Systems...
Morphological study of 1,795 spiders from sites across Pakistan placed these specimens in 27 families and 202 putative species. COI sequences >400 bp recovered 1,782 were analyzed using neighbor-joining trees, Bayesian inference, barcode gap, Barcode Index Numbers (BINs). Specimens 109 morphological species assigned to 123 BINs with ten showing BIN splits, while 93 interim included representatives 98 BINs. Maximum conspecific divergences ranged 0–5.3% congeneric distances varied 2.8–23.2%....
Although Pakistan has rich biodiversity, many groups are poorly known, particularly insects. To address this gap, we employed DNA barcoding to survey its insect diversity. Specimens obtained through diverse collecting methods at 1,858 sites across from 2010-2019 were examined for sequence variation in the 658 bp barcode region of cytochrome c oxidase 1 (COI) gene. Sequences nearly 49,000 specimens assigned 6,590 Barcode Index Numbers (BINs), a proxy species, and most (88%) also possessed...
Wheat is highly self-pollinated crop and main staple food of the world. Yield one breeding objectives in wheat crop. Plant breeders are focusing on development new lines with increased yield, resistant against biotic abiotic factors having more nutritional values. The goal current research was to identify acceptable crossings for further investigation by determining type gene action (genetic effects) combining ability parental genotypes morphological features. This approach used evaluate...
For growth or development of pulses, biotic and abiotic environmental factors are more conspicuous under stress conditions. the survival against stresses, salicylic acid (SA) is reported a universal remedy. At Soil Bacteriology Section, Ayub Agricultural Research Institute, Faisalabad, pot study was conducted to monitor role Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) Salicylic in chickpea salt stress. Eight treatments including control PGPR inoculation with their different combination were...
Cotton (Gossypium hirsutum ssp.) belongs to the genus Gossypium from family Malvaceae. About 100 genera are in Malvaceae and about 1500 species. It is grown worldwide for oil, seed, fiber. A major problem cotton cultivation a drought that’s why this experiment was planned evaluate mutants tolerance. variety of Cyto-155 mutated with gamma rays at different intensities such that 20kR, 25kR, 30kR, 35kR, obtain some genetic variation. Mutated seed along non-mutated sown split plot layout under...
The antlion tribe Palparini Banks, 1911 (Myrmeleontidae: Ascalaphinae) currently comprises five genera and seven species in Pakistan. taxonomic status of three genera, namely Indopalpares Insom & Carfi, 1988, Palpares Rambur, 1842, Parapalpares are revised herein. pardus (Rambur, 1842), zebratus solidus (Gerstaecker, 1894) redescribed based on the material from northern areas following nomenclatural changes proposed: patiens is re-established as valid species, P. infimus transferred to...
The prospective study was conducted in the Ophthalmology department, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, Lahore, from January 2022 to 2023 compare efficacy and safety of intravitreal (IVT) Bevacizumab alone with suprachoroidal injection CLS-TA (an injectable form triamcinolone) along IVT patients retinal vein occlusion (RVO) induced macular edema treatment naïve patients. Participants were randomized 1:1 group, combined group. both groups administered drugs monitored for 30 minutes after injections....
