In fluctuating thermal conditions, the survival challenge for insects is particularly difficult because their physiological activities depend upon environmental temperature. The extreme temperature or heat stress leads to insect species' extinction and evolution in adaptation strategies. Upon heat, many species cannot survive, they do not possess sufficient tolerance during gradual habitat. current review, we demonstrated process which triggers responses toward stressed environments...
In recent years, there has been an increasing concern regarding the impact of pesticide exposure on pollinators, particularly honeybees ( Apis mellifera L.). This arises from their crucial role in maintaining ecological balance and global food production. Therefore, extensive investigation conducted to explore intricate relationship between pesticides biological development honey bees Rahim Yar Khan region. study assessed four (Emamectin benzoate, Chlorpyrifos, Imidacloprid, Acetamiprid) bee...
The Death's Head Hawkmoth (Acherontia atropos) is a remarkable species belonging to the family Sphingidae, known for its unique mimicry of skull-like pattern on thorax. This study presents first documented record Acherontia atropos in role kleptoparasite preying upon honey bees Rahim Yar Khan, southern most district Punjab, Pakistan. findings shed light interactions between this enigmatic moth and bee colonies, highlighting potential implications both local ecosystem apicultural practices.
Abstract Lettuce ( Lactuca sativa L.), a widely cultivated leafy green, is valued for its rich content of bioactive compounds, including folates, vitamins, tocopherols, ascorbic acid, and antioxidants. This study aimed to evaluate the effects amino acid supplementation on growth nutrient hydroponically grown lettuce. A greenhouse experiment using completely randomized design (CRD) was conducted, with three replications plants per replication. There were 4 treatments (T 0 (Control), T 1...
Zinc appeared to be an important modulator with specific functions in plant physiology and increase resistance against different abiotic stresses. Many advances regarding role of zinc under stress plants have been made since its revelation, therefore, present study was intended understand the ameliorating on morpho-physiological biochemical responses okra varieties (Anmol Haseena) when exposed salt stress. A solution culture experiment conducted protective relation growth, physiological,...
Six genera and nine species of Eumeninae (Eumenes punctatus de Saussure, E. papillarius (Christ), Delta dimidiatipenne (de Saussure), D. p. pyriforme (Fabricius), esuriens Rhynchium brunneum Anterhynchium abdominale (Illiger), Antepipona sibilans (Cameron), Allorhynchium argentatum (Fabricius)) , two six Polistinae (Polistes wattii P. olivaceus (De Geer), rothneyi carletoni van der Vecht, indicus Stolfa), Ropalidia brevita Das & Gupta, R. cyathiformis one genus four Vespinae (Vespa...
Extreme high-temperature events are the key factor to determine population dynamics of rice leaf folder, Cnaphalocrocis medinalis (Guenée), in summer. Although we know that adult this insect can migrate avoid heat stress, behavioral response larva high temperature is still unclear. Therefore, impacts on traits C. including host choice, settling and folding were observed. The results revealed these clearly influenced by temperature. larvae preferred maize leaves rather than wheat at normal...
Most of synthetic dyes are toxic for the environment.On other hand, natural ecofriendly and can replace dyes.In present studies, a dye was extracted from rinsed grinded olive peel in 1:10 ratio (m/V) with water.Then, fabrics (wool silk) were dyed extract by using different types dulling shining mordants (FeSO 4 , CuSO CoSO SnCl 2 K SO Al (SO ) 3 ZnSO NiSO ).The have shown best results wool at acidic pH (4-5) silk basic (8-9).After dyeing (at 70-80ºC) 100ºC) extract, simultaneous mordanting...
Behavioral thermoregulation is a key strategy for insects to cope with heat stress. The rice leaf folder Cnaphalocrocis medinalis Guenée (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) larvae usually fold one construct shelter. are vulnerable stress, and the temperature in summer often beyond optimal range of them. Shelters confer protection against environmental stress but unclear whether will alter shelter-building behavior when encountering We observed during after shock, then examined shape structure shelters....
Current studies were performed to review the phytochemistry, nutritional benefits, medicinal/therapeutic value, and cosmetic importance of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.). Cucumber fruits are an important part human diet, often used in salads, pickles, sauces, due their nutritious qualities health benefits. They a good source vitamins, minerals, soluble carbohydrates, proteins, etc. The leaves, flowers, seeds, fruits, bark rich various phytoconstituents, including phenols, glycosides,...
Recent studies have highlighted great challenges of transgene silencing for transgenic plants facing climate change. In order to understand the impacts elevated CO
Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration is likely to influence insect-plant interactions. Aphid, as a typical phloem-feeding herbivorous insect, has shown consistently more positive responses in fitness elevated CO2 concentrations than those seen leaf-chewing insects. But, little known about the mechanism of this performance. In study, foliar soluble constituents cotton and life history aphid Aphis gossypii its mean relative growth rate (MRGR) feeding behavior were measured,...
Sugarcane is cash crop in Pakistan.Its trash can be used as fertilizer and a source of energy.Sugarcane leaf stripping time consuming labour-intensive procedure.Shortage modern machinery also highlights this problem.In regard sugarcane stripper was designed.The heart machine its cleaning element which material mounted on shaft.Many researchers have paid their attention to find best suited arrangement material.In simulation study designed out arrangement.Three arrangements having 20 0...
