Cicer arietinum is the 3 rd most important cool season legume crop growing in vast arid and semi-arid regions of world. A lab experiment was designed using hydrothermal time model (HTT) to investigate chickpea seed germination (SG) behavior, cardinal temperatures responses across fluctuating ( T s ) water potentials Ψ ). Seeds var. NIFA 1995 were germinated at six constant (7, 14, 21, 28, 35 42°C) each having following five potentials: 0, -0.2, -0.4–0.6 -0.8 MPa. Germination percentage (G%)...
Aim: To investigate the photodynamic therapeutic potential of ferromagnetic iron oxide nanorods (FIONs), using Trigonella foenum-graecum as a reducing agent, against Leishmania tropica. Materials & methods: FIONs were characterized ultraviolet visible spectroscopy, x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Results: showed excellent activity L. tropica promastigotes amastigotes (IC50 0.036 ± 0.003 0.072 0.001 μg/ml, respectively) upon 15 min pre-incubation light-emitting diode light...
Zinc oxide (ZnO) and magnesium-doped zinc (Mg-doped ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized using <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">Ziziphus oxyphylla</i> 's aqueous leaf extract as reducing agent. UV-Vis absorption peaks at 324 nm 335 indicative of ZnO Mg-doped ZnO, respectively. FTIR bands observed 3238, 1043, 1400, 1401, 2186 2320 cm <sup xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">-1</sup> suggested the presence phenols,...
The current molecular genetic diagnostic rates for hereditary hearing loss (HL) vary considerably according to the population background. Pakistan and other countries with high of consanguineous marriages have served as a unique resource studying rare novel forms recessive HL. A combined exome sequencing, bioinformatics analysis, gene mapping approach 21 Pakistani families revealed 13 pathogenic or likely variants in genes GJB2, MYO7A, FGF3, CDC14A, SLITRK6, CDH23, MYO15A, an overall resolve...
Abstract Change in climate of the entire globe due to elevated temperature and minimum annual rainfall barren zone frequently leads salinity soil. The current study was aimed evaluate importance sugar beet extract (SBE) as a bio-stimulant improve adverse damages induced stress (40mM) on growth, oosmolytes antioxidant defense system barley ( Hordeum vulgare L.). Pot experiment carried green house under different concentrations SBE (10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, 50%) pre-soaked seeds for 5 hours...
