In the present study eleven patients of Type2 diabetes mellitus were surve...

Changes in levels of isocitrate lyase, malate synthase, and catalase have been investigated during germination of flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) in the presence and absence of itaconate. Germination was accompanied by a rapid increase in these enzymes during the first 3 days. The presence of 38 millimolar itaconate inhibited the incidence of seed germination and the growth of embryo axes as well...

The aim of the study was to investigate distribution, enrichment and accumulation of heavy metals in soil and Trigonella foenum-graecum (var. Pusa Early Bunching) after fertigation with paper mill effluent. Doses of paper mill effluent viz. 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100% were used for fertigation of T. foenum-graecum along with bore well water (control). The results revealed that paper mill ef...
