The genus Agaricus is known for its medicinal and edible species but also includes toxic that belong to section Xanthodermatei. Previous phylogenetic reconstruction temperate species, based on sequence data of nuc rRNA gene (rDNA) internal transcribed spacers (ITS), has revealed two major groups in this a possible third lineage A. pseudopratensis. Recent research shown classifications need improving with the addition tropical taxa. In study we add new collections We describe three from made...
Objective: This study aims to compare the effectiveness of warm compresses and modified Ritgen’s maneuver in preventing perineal trauma during second stage labor. Methodology: A randomized controlled trial was conducted at Department Obstetrics Gynecology, Federal Government Polyclinic (PGMI), Islamabad, from December 2022 2023. total 340 pregnant women were enrolled, with 170 participants each group. Group underwent delivery maneuver, while B received compresses. Patients assigned randomly...
The transformative effect of nanotechnology is revolutionizing medicine by introducing new therapeutic approaches. This study explores the utilization aqueous extract from mushroom (Cortinarius sp.) used as a reducing agent to prepare zinc oxide myco-nanoparticles (ZnO-MNPs) in an eco-friendly manner. synthesis ZnO-MNPs has been confirmed various characterization studies, including UV-vis spectroscopy, which revealed absorption peak at 378 nm; X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, wurtzite...
Chilas forest sub division in Diamer district, of Gilgit-Baltistan is located at northern regions Pakistan. We estimated tree density, diameter, height and volume the dominant species four blocks (Thore, Chilas, Thak Niat Gunar) division. The density deodar was maximum with average 26 tree·ha-1 minimum Chalgoza 4 trees·ha-1. showed by (Fir, Kail, Deodar, Chilgoza) study area to be 20.40, 16.06, 12.24 12.12 m respectively. Moreover attained Fir, Deodar trees 1.92, 1.57, 0.46 0.291 m3·tree-1...
Suillus flavidus ( Boletales, Suillaceae ) was found associated with Pinus wallichiana during a survey of macrofungi from moist coniferous forests Pakistan. Both the fruiting body and ectomycorrhizae were characterized morpho-anatomically as well by molecular analysis. This fungus is new record for Pakistan its are described first time
Abstract Around 30 pollen samples, 16 families and 25 genera that were gathered, identified preserved from 6 different localities of District Sheikhupura. Light scanning electron microscopy was done for all collected flora. Out the total 43% specie as herbs, 23% shrubs, 33% trees. The flora both wild cultivated. Wild plants 33%, cultivated 40% 26% them Qualitative Quantitative survey pollens revealed polar shape 37% spheroidal, 20% prolate 17% oblate remaining rectangular pecolpate. Sexine...
Peziza michelii and its ectomycorrhizae with Alnus nitida are characterized morphologically molecularly by nrDNA ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 sequence analyses. Both the fungus morphotype new records for Pakistan.
Abstract Himalayan range of Pakistan is one the diversity rich hotspots world. Many areas are yet to be explored here discover new species organisms including fungi. During present research, Swat District was for fungal diversity. One mushroom Russula swatica (Russulales) described from and analyzed by light microscopy scanning electron as well molecular markers. A comprehensive description, photographs, comparisons with morphologically similar phylogenetically related provided. Conclusions...
During an investigation of macrofungi from Pakistan, a new species with clamped basidia within Ramaria subg. Laeticolora and associated Abies pindrow was found, which is proposed here as flavescentoides . The fungus morphologically resembles R. flavescens clusters phylogenetically the same clade. characterized by obovate to obconic basidioma pale orange light branches apices that are tinged greenish grey, monomitic hyphal system, ampulliform clamp connections, stellate crystals distributed...
A new club fungus, Clavariadelphus pakistanicus sp. nov. included within genus Donk and section Clavariadelphus, is described from the Himalayan moist temperate forests of Pakistan. characterized by its solitary growth habit, clavate to subcylindrical gray–orange orange–white longitudinally rugose rugulose basidiocarps with broadly ellipsoid smooth basidiospores measuring 7.5–9.2 μm × 4.0–5.6 μm, a dense white rhizomorphic mat. Molecular phylogenetic analyses using internal transcribed...
Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods (NRs) with reduced graphene (rGO) were successfully synthesized using a hydrothermal method an additional spray coating. This paper focuses on the effect of rGO coating charge transfer and interaction between ZnO that remarkably contributes to enhancement electrical optical properties ZnO-based NRs. The ZnO/rGO nanocomposite was characterized FESEM, PL spectroscopy XPS. FESEM analysis results showed surface morphology NRs had hexagonal rod structure covered layers...
A new thelephoroid species, Thelephora iqbalii , collected from the Himalayan moist temperate (HMT) forests of Pakistan, is characterized by small coralloid basidiomata bearing long, narrow ridges with fine hairs on their branches and hymenia that are cyanescent in KOH. An ITS-based phylogeny comparing T. other species also presented.
Secondary metabolites are the special chemicals that organisms make for their own purposes.They not needed basic functions, but they have many uses in interactions with environment.They can protect themselves, communicate others, compete rivals, and cooperate partners.Mycorrhizal Helper Bacteria (MHBs) bacteria enhance plant-fungi partnership by supporting growth, nutrition, defense, modifying production use of secondary metabolites, which help them interact environment.In this study,...
