Salinity stress is one of the primary abiotic stresses limiting crop growth and yield. Plants respond to salinity with several morphophysiological, molecular, biochemical mechanisms, however, these mechanisms need be improved further cope salt effectively. In this regard, use plant growth-promoting (PGP) halotolerant bacteria thought very efficient for enhancing tolerance in plants. The current study aims assess Bacillus safensis PM22 its ability promote resistance salt. produced substantial...
This research presents a new species in the genus Conocybe collected from tropical semi-arid District Karak, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Morphological features, and DNA barcoding marker (ITS-region) were used for systematic placement of karakensis. The present is characterized by having medium-sized fruiting body, semi-ovate, orange-colored pileus, free, spaced, regular lamellae with central, light brown stipe, thick-walled, oblong basidiospores clavate shaped, tetra-sterigamtic basidia....
Agaricus is a large genus of mushrooms with having great number edible species. Subgenus Minores sect. contain the richest species diversity. A new totalaiiensis described based on morpho-anatomy and molecular data analyses. It characterized by small to medium-sized basidiomata that are initially parabolic convex, becoming planate concave at maturity, dull red or purplish-red reddish brown center pale margin, become too light radish margin ellipsoid basidiospores. Molecular phylogenetic...
Medicinal macrofungi, like prized plants and animals, have dietary, therapeutic commercial significance. This knowledge, anchored in the traditional healthcare system, warrants identification of most prominent species harbouring novel natural products. A ethnobiological approach was adopted to collect ethnomycological data by interviewing 110 informants (95 men 15 women) inhabiting 10 settlements Bannu District, Pakistan. Visiting remote nomadic sites revealed unique its type. assessed...
