Indirect speciation of Cr (VI) and Cr (III) in water and food samples using newly synthesized amberlite XAD-7 functionalized resin
The availability of good quality water is essential for avoiding diseases and improving the quality of life. The increase in both industrial activities and human population has adversely affected several aspects of the environment including the quality of water bodies. Because of the high solubility of heavy metal ions in the aquatic environment, the heavy […]
Identification of disordered regions and potential active sites from3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase of Triticum aestivum L. using theoretical approach
3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl CoA reductase is considered as an essential enzyme due to its inevitability in the Mevalonate pathway for the synthesis of isoprenoids in plants. In this study, theoretical investigations were accomplished for comparative protein model and active site analyses of Triticum aestivum HMG-CoA reductase (designated as TaHMGR) as there are no three-dimensional structures available for […]
Chemical composition and bilogical effects of essential oil of Artemisia judaica an endemic plant from central Sahara of Algeria Hoggar
The medicinal plants contain many secondary metabolites that are gifted of different biologic activities as antiparasital, antimicrobial or antioxidant proprieties. Essential oil extracted from dried aerial parts of Artemisia judaica harvested at central Sahara of Algeria Hoggar, was analysed by gas chromatography (GC-FID) and coupled to mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Thirty one compounds were identified, representing […]
Mode of inheritance of resistance to the stalk-eyed fly (Diopsis longicornis) in rice
Stalk eyed flies (D. longicornis and D. apicalis) are pests of economic importance on rice. Of the two species of stalk- eyed fly, D. longicornis is the most prevalent and destructive. To determine the mode of inheritance for resistance to the stalk-eyed fly in rice in Uganda, crosses were made among eight parental lines (NERICA4, […]
Ethnobotany study and phytochemical screening of Caralluma europaea (Guss.) N.E. Br.
Natural substances derived from plants have multiple interests used in different industries. Moreover, the use of synthetic molecules is currently being called into question, because of the potential toxicological risks of these molecules. Now, new natural plant sources are being sought. The study of the pharmacological activities of plants has become a kind of fashion […]
Impact of water quality on distribution of macro-invertebrate in Jutial nallah, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan
The macro- invertebrate fauna of river have a large biological significance and these organisms may be used to find out the water quality of streams. This study was carried out to know the benthic macro-invertebrates composition and to know its relationship with physical and chemical of water in the Jutial Nala. Benthic animals and water […]
Phytosociological study on Isodon rugosus dominated communities in Khwazakhela district Swat, KPK, Pakistan
The present study aimed to investigate the status of Isodon rugosus dominated communities in Khwazakhela swat. Various phytosociological attributes of all the recorded species were obtained. For quantitative analysis of vegetation a 4×4 m2 quadrat was used and a total of ten stands were sampled. Five quadrats were taken randomly per stand. Descriptive information such […]
New record of spiders fauna of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province, (Aranei; Sparassidae; Pholcidae) Pakistan
Present study was conducted from 2014 to 2015 in different regions of North Western parts of for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa adjacent Tribals areas (FATA) of Pakistan to explore the biodiversity of spiders (Araneae: Arachnida) in this part of the country. Our findings are introduction of new fauna to Pakistan. Spiders Samplings were conducted by hand picking […]
Cr (III) and Cr (VI) absorption and translocation of Atriplex halimus L.
Metal pollution has become, due to industrial and technological advances in recent decades, a major threat to human health and environment. It is thus important to have effective tools to assess the bioavailability of metallic element and their environmental effects in contaminated soils. The purpose of the present work was to evaluate the tolerance and […]
Natural occurrence of multiple fungi in variable germplasms of red chillies from Kunri, Pakistan
Red chilli(Capsicum annuumL.) is an important crop which is grown all over the world for its variable uses in food and medicines. However, it is vulnerable for bacterial and fungal diseases due to which its production is declining with the passage of time.The present study aimsto evaluate the natural occurrence of multiple fungi in variable […]
