Powdery mildew fungi represent one of the most widely distributed and destructive groups of plant pathogens worldwide. To minimize these losses agrarians have dramatically used pesticides and fungicides which are certainly not ecofriendly. In this context, microbial control through the use of natural antagonistic microorganisms has emerged as a pro...

Phosphorus (P) is the second most important macronutrient for plant growth and is responsible for plant metabolism. Phosphorus is an important component of nucleic acid and also a component of phospholipids as a basic requirement for cellular organization and function as a membrane building block.

Plants, which are a source of phytochemicals with strong antioxidant activity, have attracted a great deal of attention in recent years. The Passiflora belongs to family Passifloraceae has been used in diet as well as in medicine by a number of traditiona...

The anticancer potential of ethanolic extract of Momordicacymbalaria fruits was evaluated against skin cancer cell line A-432, lung cancer cell line A-549, kidney cancer cell line A-432, stomach cancer cell line AGS. It was noticed that IC 50 value of Momordicacymbalaria crude fruit extract on skin carcinoma was 47.19 µl/ml, lung cancer 51.88 µl/ml...

Punica granatum (pomegranate) is a high-polyphenol, high-bioavailability fruit that is often regarded as a superfood. The fruits have long been employed in the prevention and treatment of many malignant illnesses, and their involvement in pathophysiological processes has been documented in both scientific and non-science literature. The medicina...

Colubrina asiatica L. seedlings (1 year old) was raised in garden soil. The effect of foliar spray of 100 ppm of Salicylic acid (SA), 6-Benzylaminopurine (6BA), Gibberellic acid (GA 3) and Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) on physiology and secondary metabolites was analyzed. The alleviation in photosynthetic pigments and in secondary metabolites was obs...

Colubrina asiatica L.is found at coastal belt near mangroves. The effect of some plant growth regulators such as Salicylic acid (SA), 6-Benzylaminopurine (6BA), Gibberellic acid (GA 3) and Indole-3-butyric acid (IBA) on seed germination and seedling growth of Colubrina asiatica L were investigated. All parameters i.e. seed germination and seedling...

Simarouba glauca is a medicinally important oil yielding plant. It is a rainfed wasteland evergreen edible oil tree.
