The various parts of Melia dubia (Meliaceae) plant was observed to be used by the local tribes of Nilgiris for various infections. There was no report on antimicrobial activity of Melia dubia. Therefore, a preliminary phytochemical analysis and antimicrobial investigations were carried out on different extracts of Melia dubia bark. Ethanolic and aqueous extracts of the bark were found to posses...

To each category C of modules of finite length over a complex simple Lie algebra g, closed under tensoring with finite dimensional modules, we associate and study a category AFF(C)κ of smooth modules (in the sense of Kazhdan and Lusztig [13]) of finite length over the corresponding affine Kac–Moody algebra in the case of central charge less than the critical level. Equivalent characterizations ...

The plant kingdom is by far the most efficient producer of chemical compounds, synthesising many products that are used in defence against herbivores. Extracts made from some plants, particularly extracts from plants within the Meliaceae (mahogany) family, have been shown to have insecticidal properties. We investigated the potential of these extracts and the possibility of integrating botanica...

Embryogenic cultures were initiated from immature Melia azedarach (Meliaceae) zigotic embryos. Explants were induced on Murashige and Skoog (1962) medium with 4.54 microM thidiazuron or 0.45 microM dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. After 6 weeks of culture on induction medium, somatic embryos were categorized in four morphological classes based on the presence of single or fused embryos and if they r...

Melia azedarach, a versatile tree belonging to the Meliaceae family, presents significant challenge in achieving successful seed germination for forest plantations. The robust nature of azedarach seeds necessitates pre-treatments overcome physical barriers and enhance water absorption. Natural ecosystems often benefit from symbiotic relationship between Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi plant r...
