It is closely attached to the different aspects of human life. A number of references can be traced in the civilization of Harappa that they used timbers to construct roofs of their abodes which were flat and made ...

Lysenin is a pore-forming toxin from the coelomic fluid of earthworm Eisenia foetida. This protein specifically binds to sphingomyelin and induces erythrocyte lysis. Lysenin consists of 297 amino acids with a molecular weight of 41 kDa. We screened for cellular signal transduction inhibitors of low molecular weight from microorganisms and plants. The purpose of the screening was to study the me...

Red mud or bauxite residue is a highly alkaline toxic by-product that generated during the production of aluminum by Bayer’s process. Around 1.5 tons residues are produced for generating 1 ton alumina. The toxicity major catastrophe due to its disposal management as it limits growth plant species because high alkalinity and salinity. In present study, bioprospects carried through cyanobacterial...

we studied litterfall dynamic of tree plantations in dez river floodplain, at 14 to 15 years old. the plantations consist of populus euphratica oliv., eucalyptus camaldulensis dehnh., e. microtheca f. muell, acacia farnesiana (l.) willd., a. salicina lindl., a. saligna (labill.) h. wendl., a. stenophylla benth. and dalbergia sissoo roxb. litterfall was different between the tree species, and le...

BACKGROUND Rapid population growth and catastrophic harvesting methods of wild medicinal plants especially trees, result in the exploitation of natural sources and its management is the need of the hour. Dashamoolarishta is an amalgam of roots of ten plants of a popular Ayurvedic FDC formulation consisting of the root of Premna latifolia Roxb. as one of its ingredients. Presently, their populat...
