SAHA, histone deacetylase inhibitor causes reduction of aflatoxin production and conidiation in the Aspergillus flavus

Transcriptional regulation in eukaryotes occurs within a chromatin setting and is strongly influenced by posttranslational modification of histones.The regulation of histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases(HDACs) is one of important post translational modification (PTMs).Aspergillus flavus is the main source of aflatoxin,the most important mycotoxins in the world and food supplies.HDACs can play an important role […]

Influence of potassium humate on Morus alba and analysis their nutrients content

We aimed to the influence of potassium humate on growth rate and nutritional value of Mulberry plant is studied. Potassium humate is extracted from lignite by treating with Potassium hydroxide. In the present study, Mulberry plants were grown in different concentration of potassium humate from 1% to 10% respectively. After five months of respective treatment […]

Study on the comparative antibacterial activity of Polyalthia longifolia (Debdaru) leaf extracts to some selective pathogenic bacterial strains

The increasing social and economic implications caused by pathogenic bacteria means there is a constant striving to develop near antibacterial agents. The present study was carried out in vitro to determine antibacterial activity of Polyalthia longiflia (Debdaru) leaf extracts with hexane, methanol and chloroform against six tested pathogenic bacteria viz. Bacillus subtilis, Sarcina lutea, Xanthomonas […]

Production of eleutherosides, total phenolics and total favonoids from somatic embryos of Siberian ginseng affected by different aeration volume in bioreactor

Physical culture condition plays crucial roles in mass production of somatic embryos in bioreactor. The effects of supplied aeration volume in a balloon type bubble bioreactor (BTBB) to produce somatic embryos were investigated in this study. Best response in case of fresh weight (FW), dry weight (DW) and growth ratio (GR) were observed when input […]

Pharmacognostic standardization and FT-IR analysis of various parts of Sageretia thea

In the present study various parameters like fluorescence study, phytochemical screening analysis and FT-IR analysis of various parts of Sageretia thea (Osbeck) M.C.Johnston carried out for correct identification and detection of secondary metabolites and functional groups in these parts. The current study revealed that different plant material give different coloration when treated with various chemicals […]

Comparison of three extracts of Fumeria indica for the evaluation of cytotoxic and phytotoxic activities

In present work, the Fumeria indica was collected from University of Peshawar. The plant was shade dried and three extracts were prepared from the powder. The powder was used to observe under ultra violet light and by change in colour, has shown the presence of secondary metabolites with their derivatives. The extracts were used against […]
