Suaeda fruticosa (L.) Forssk plants grown in saline conditions (200 to 400 mol m!3 NaCl) had greater fresh and dry weights than those grown in non-saline controls, and 600 to 1000 mol m!3 NaCl inhibited growth. Gibberellic acid and kinetin both alleviated some of the inhibitory effects of salinity at 800 mol m!3 NaCl on shoot growth of S. fruticosa while root growth was promoted by kinetin. Tis...

Suaeda monoica Forssk. ex J. F. Gmel was found to possess the C(4) pathway of photosynthesis. The succulent leaves of Suaeda lack a green bundle sheath formation but have a layer of chlorenchyma, containing large and centripetally arranged chloroplasts, which surrounds the water tissue. We suggest that the proximity of a chlorenchymatous cell layer to the vascular bundles is not necessary for t...

Antimicrobial activity of the folklore medicinal plant species, Acalypha fruticosa in the part of stem bark by using three alcoholic solvents viz; petroleum ether, ethyl acetate and methanol were tested against ten human pathogenic bacteria viz., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, P. stutzeri, Escherichia coli, Micrococcus sp., Lactobacillus sp., Servatia sp., Moraxetta sp., Bacillus subtilis, B.

Copper (Cu) and cadmium (Cd) metal distribution in soil–plant ecosystems their public health risk impact on ruminants (cows, buffalo, sheep) are explored the present investigation. Five different forage crops were selected, foraging responses of three types at ecological sites evaluated. The soil these was polluted (due to wastewater irrigation) studied evaluate contamination pollution load ind...

The Canadian Arctic Archipelago is a vast region of approximately 1,420,000 km(2), with a flora characterized by low species diversity, low endemicity, and little influence by alien species. New records of vascular plant species are documented here based on recent fieldwork on Victoria and Baffin Islands; additional records based on recent literature sources are mentioned. This paper serves as ...

Exposure to toxic metals (TMs) such as cobalt (Co) can cause lifelong carcinogenic disorders and mutagenic outcomes. TMs enter ground water rivers from human activity, anthropogenic contamination, the ecological environment. The present study was conducted evaluate influence of sewage irrigation on toxicity bioaccumulation in a soil-plant environment assess health risk grazing livestock via for...
