Abstract Background Mountain ecosystems all over the world support a high biological diversity and provide home services to some 12% of global human population, who use their traditional ecological knowledge utilise local natural resources. The Himalayas are world's youngest, highest largest mountain range plant biodiversity. In this remote mountainous region Himalaya, people depend upon resources supply goods services, including grazing for livestock medicinal supplies themselves. Due...
Abstract Misuse of antibiotics leads to the worldwide spread antibiotic resistance, which motivates scientists create new antibiotics. The recurring UTI due antibiotics-resistant microorganism’s challenges globally. biogenic nanoparticles have potential meet escalating requirements novel antimicrobial agents. green synthesis (NPs) gained more attention their reliable applications against resistant microbes. current study evaluates ZnO NPs Mentha piperata extract pathogens urinary tract...
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...
Western Himalayan alpine pastures are among the most diverse ecological locations on globe. Four were investigated to study species distribution patterns, richness, similarity, and community structure in Bagh District, Azad Kashmir, Pakistan. communities, Poa–Primula–Sibbaldia, Primula–Caltha–Primula, Poa alpina–Poa pratensis–Scirpus, Sibbaldia–Poa–Scirpus, identified basis of an importance value index. The average richness was 1.42; Simpson's Shannon–Wiener's diversity values 3.13 0.91,...
A wild food ethnobotanical field study was conducted in the Ishkoman and Yasin valleys, located Hindukush Mountain Range of Gilgit-Baltistan, northern Pakistan. These valleys are inhabited by diverse, often marginalized, linguistic religious groups. The survey via one hundred eighty semistructured interviews to record data nine villages. Forty gathered botanical mycological taxa were recorded identified. Comparative analysis among different groups revealed that plants homogenously used. This...
The documentation of local food resources among linguistic/cultural minorities is essential for fostering measures aimed at sustaining biocultural heritage. Moreover, interdisciplinary studies on cultural heritage represent a vital aspect promoting environmental and social sustainability. current study to record the traditional foraging wild plants (WFPs) three minority groups (Kalasha, Muslim Ismaili Yidgha, Sunni Kamkata-vari speakers) as well dominant (Sunni Muslim) Kho/Chitrali people in...
An ethnobotanical field study focusing on traditional wild food botanical taxa was carried out in Kaniguram, South Waziristan, Pakistan, among Ormur (or Burki or Baraki) peoples, which represent a diasporic minority group, as well the surrounding Pashtuns. Through sixty semi-structured interviews, fifty-two plants (taxa) were recorded, and they primarily used raw snacks cooked vegetables. Comparative analysis found remarkable overlap of quoted plant uses between two studied groups, may...
Malnutrition is mainly caused by iron and zinc micronutrient deficiencies affecting about half of the world's population across globe. Biofortification staple crops right approach to overcome malnutrition enhance nutrient contents in daily food humans. This study aimed evaluate role foliar application Trichoderma harzianum treated soil on various growth characteristics, quality, yield wheat varieties. Plants were examined absence/presence T. harzianum, micronutrients both optimal high-stress...
Biologically synthesized silver nanoparticles are emerging as attractive alternatives to chemical pesticides due the ease of their synthesis, safety and antimicrobial activities in lower possible concentrations. In present study, we have (AgNPs) using aqueous extract medicinal plant Euphorbia wallichii tested them against pathogenic bacterium Xanthomonas axonopodis, causative agent citrus canker, via an vitro experiment. The were characterized by techniques such UV-Vis spectroscopy, Fourier...
Plant pathogens cause serious diseases to agricultural crops which lead food insecurity in the world. To combat plant pathogens, various strategies have been developed including use of agrochemicals. The overuse these chemicals is now leading pesticide-resistant capability pathogens. overcome this problem, modern nanobiotechnology offers production alternative nano drugs. In study, we used Mentha spicata for synthesis iron oxide nanoparticles using green method. Fe 2 O 3 NPs was confirmed...
This study provides a comprehensive documentation of traditional knowledge about plant based recipes used for the treatment human ailments by tribal communities Buner Pakistan. The aim was to understand dynamics and threats (TK) investigate potential implications this in future economic development region light China-Pak corridor. studies were conducted from 2016 2020 36 major villages district Pakistan, via 137 key informants, using semi-structured interviews, open ended questionnaires,...
Different elemental constituents at trace levels of plants play an effective role in the medicines prepared. Elemental composition different parts including leaves, seeds and fruits have been determined by using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS). A total 14 elements K+, Mg+2, Ca+2, Na+, Fe+2, Co+3, Mn+2, Cu+3, Cr+3, Zn+2, Ni+3, Li+1, Pb+4 and Cd+2 have measured. Their concentrations were found to vary samples. Medicinal properties these plant samples their distribution...
Nanomaterials are gaining tremendous potential as emerging antimicrobials in the quest to find resistance-free alternatives of chemical pesticides. In this study, stable silver nanoparticles were synthesized using aqueous extract medicinal plant species Polygonatum geminiflorum , and their morphological features evaluated by transmission electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction spectroscopy energy dispersive analysis. vitro Antifungal activity (AgNPs) P. (PE) either alone or combination...
The Agrobacterium-mediated floral dip protocol is the most extensively used transformation method for a model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Several useful methods Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformations of are existing, but they time consuming and with low efficiency. Here, we developed transgenic lines TET12p::TET12-RFP in short period enhanced efficiency by using modified applying drought stress after dip. In this protocol, cells carrying recombinant vectors were resuspended...
