Piriformospora indica is an endophytic fungus of Sebacinaceae which colonizes the roots of many plant species and confers benefits to the hosts. We demonstrate that approximately 75% of the genes, which respond to P. indica in Arabidopsis roots, differ among seedlings grown on normal phosphate (Pi) or Pi limitation conditions, and among wild-type and the wrky6 mutant impaired in the regulation ...

The Present investigation covers the scientific comprehension of the potential effects of fluoride toxicity on body and testes weight and the spermatozoal activities in male albino rat and the beneficial effect of novel medicinal plant Tamarindus indica therapeutic treatment (10gm/kg body weight) after fluoride water intoxication. Three groups of male albino rats five of each were intoxicated w...

The study investigates the effect of temperature on the infectivity of two entomopathogenic nematodes, viz. Steinernema sp. and Heterorhabditis indica, locally isolated from Mizoram, northeastern India, using last instar larvae of greater wax moth, Galleria mellonella, as an insect host. Two hundred infective juveniles/larva of wax moth were exposed to different temperatures, viz. 10, 15, 20, 2...

in the present study,cardioprotective effect of aqueous extract of garcinia indica linn. fruit rinds in isoprenaline-induced myocardial infarction in wistar albino rats was evaluated. in vitro total phenolic, total flavonoid content and 2, 2’-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl hydrate radical scavenging activity was measured. in vivo effect of aqueous extract of g. indica was evaluated in wistar albino ...

the root endophytic fungus, piriformospora indica, colonizes roots of a large number of plant species including cereals and brasicaceae. there are several reports indicating that p. indica protects roots from different path-ogens. in the present study, rice plants were pre-inoculated with p. indica and were subsequently infected with fusarium proliferatum, as the causal agent of root rot and cr...

background: interest in tatera indica rodent arises mostly because it is believed that this species is survived among four subspecies reported from iran, two of which exist in khuzestan province. in addition, it might has a role as res­ervoir hosts of zoonotic cutaneous leishmaniasis in the transmission of leishmania major in some of the widespread asian foci including southwestern iran. method...

Aqueous and alcoholic extracts of Vitis indica were tested for diuretic activity in rats. The parameters studied on individual rats were body weight before and after test period, total urine volume, urine concentration of Na+,Ka+ and Cr. In the present study, alcoholic and aqueous extracts of Vitis indica leaves (200 mg/kg body weight) shows increase in urine volume, cationic and anionic excret...

Background: Recently herbal medications have been introduced into modern health scheme for the treatment of diseases. Aqueous extract of A. indica is commonly used in treatment of malaria in combination with chloroquine, especially now that a combined therapy is said to be more effective. Objectves: This study is designed to investigate the effects of aqueous extract of A. indica leaf and conco...
