Land Surface Temperature (LST) affects exchange of energy between earth surface and atmosphere which is important for studying environmental changes. However, research on the relationship LST, Use Cover (LULC), Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) with topographic elements in lower Himalayan region has not been done. Therefore, present study explored LST NDVI, LULC types Pakistan. The area was divided into North-South, West-East, North-West to South-East North-East directions using...
The mountainous territory of Kohistan shelters diverse food plant species and is considered one the important hotspots local knowledge. In era globalization commodification, wild plants (WFPs) play an role in supporting systems related knowledge pillars sustainability across region. Since area populated by different cultural groups each culture has retained particular on species, therefore, to make a cross-culturally comparison, study was planned record compare among three linguistic viz...
Abstract Scope This study aimed to assess the antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, and acetylcholinesterase activities of fruiting bodies (FB) mycelium (M) extracts Morchella esculenta L . collected from various regions Pakistan. The samples included Skardu body (SKFB) mycelia (SKM), Malam Jaba (MJFB) (MJM), Krair Mansehra (KMFB) (KMM), Thandiani (TFB) (TM). Methods results IC 50 values for free radical scavenging activity all revealed that SKFB MJFB M. are significantly involved in relieving...
Present investigation deals with antimicrobial screening of ten medicinally important plants used by the inhabitants district Haripur, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) for different infectious diseases. Aqueous, n-hexane and ethanolic extracts each plant were tested their activity against both Gram positive negative strains bacteria, as well strain yeast. Agar diffusion broth dilution methods to determine extracts. The results indicated that all exhibited one or more test pathogens. Interestingly,...
This research work reports the magnetic adsorption of fluoride from drinking water through silica-coated Fe3O4 nanoparticles. Chemical precipitation and wet impregnation methods were employed to synthesize nanomaterials. Moreover, synthesized nanomaterials characterized for physicochemical properties scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray powder diffraction. Screening studies conducted select best iron oxide loading (0.0–1.5 wt%) calcination temperature...
Bio-degradable and eco-friendly essential oils (EOs) extracted from Mentha longifolia, Salsola imbricata, Erigeron bonariensis, E. canadensis, Ailanthus altissima, Zanthoxylum armatum were investigated for their repellent larvicidal potential against Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. The EOs of M. S. A. Z. exhibited 99.0%, 96.8%, 40.2%, 41.7%, 29.1%, 13.2% repellency mosquitoes at a tested dose 33.3 μg/cm2, respectively. In time span bioassays, the canadensis showed more than 40% 60 min 330 μg/cm2....
Wild vegetables can contribute to people’s food security and health. In northwest Pakistan, almost 40% of the households are classified as insecure, due increasing population natural man-made catastrophes. There is an urgent need get overview still existing practices wild vegetable use incorporate such knowledge into agricultural policies. The present study, therefore, aims collect analyze information on most widely commonly used in Pakistan. Semistructured interviews were performed with 126...
Water deficit is a destructive abiotic stress that limits crops' productivity and survival. In the current study, three pea varieties i.e., Climax, Green Grass, Meteor were screened under 0% (control), 40%, 70% water-deficit according to field capacity. The effects of at morphological, biochemical, molecular levels studied; selected showed significant differences in root length, shoot leaf area, number, fresh dry biomass 40% water deficit. chlorophyll, carotenoids, lipid peroxidation,...
Plant-based essential oils have gained attention as a natural alternative for controlling mosquitoes due to their repellent, larvicidal and oviposition deterrent properties. We tested larvicidal, effects of (EOs) Mentha spicata (L.), Ocimum basilicum Abutilon indicum (L.) against three mosquito species (Diptera: Culicidae) including Aedes aegypti Anopheles gambiae s. l. Giles, Culex quinquefasciatus Say by using contact-based technique. In screening bioassays, M. I, II, O. A. EOs showed...
The present investigations were carried out in Salt Range area of Pakistan, regarding the morphology grasses as an aid to their correct identification, distribution and indigenous uses area. study is globally known by its large salt reserves it has rich floral diversity. From 62 species belonging 11 tribes collected. largest tribe was Paniceae followed Andropogoneae having 18 12 species, respectively. play important role economy people Mainly, are used fodder area; some for thatching...
Abstract The morphology of pollen grains the 06 species tribe Acacieae (Mimosaceae) belonging to one genus were investigated using scanning electron microscopic (SEM) and light (LM) approach. Lactic acid acetolysis method was used for while non‐acetolysis (SEM). examined both qualitative quantitative palynological features. Qualitatively studied shape, exine sculpturing, type. Oblate spheroidal shape observed in Accacia modesta . Subprolate Accaca nilotica In farnesiana , prolate Acacia...
Palynological features as well comparative foliar epidermal using light and scanning electron microscope (SEM) of 17 species (10genera) Amaranthaceae have been studied for its taxonomic significance. Different palynological micro-morphological characters were examined to explain their value in resolving the difficulty identification. All amphistomatic but stomata on abaxial surface more abundant. Taxonomically significant character including type, trichomes (unicellular, multicellular,...
Up to now, no vaccine has been developed for COVID-19 treatment. Although many scientists are working the rapid development of a control this pandemic, nonetheless, it will take time. If be soon, not available entire world instantly since mass production In scenario, we have alternative measures pandemic. These approaches include stimulation immune system fight against viral infections. Among different strengthen system, use probiotics is best one. Probiotics can help body directly and...
Medico-botanical and chemical standardization of Barham Dandi (Tricholepis chaetolepis(Boiss) Rech. f.), a pharmaceutical herbal drug its adulterants has been carried out. The study includes parameters such as macro-micromorphology species, pollen (SEM), organoleptography, fluorescence analysis (UV IR) certain physico-chemical aspects that is flavonoids finger printing by 2 D thin layer chromatography. revealed using taxonomic markers, one can detect the adulteration in raw material for...
In the present study, antibacterial activity of Cornus macrophylla was examined. Organic solvent extracts leaves were prepared using methanol, n-hexane, chloroform, and ethyl acetate. Antibacterial examined by a 100 mg/mL extract concentration. Penicillin kept as positive control while dimethyl sulfoxide taken negative control. Methanolic exhibited 21.5, 36.3, 25.3, 23.7 mm inhibition zone diameter (IZD); n-hexane showed 33, 40, 32.8, 28.7 IZD; chloroform 18.8, 29, 22.3, 21.6 acetate 23.5,...
