Industrial discharge of chromium (Cr) into environment puts serious threat on living beings due to its potent toxicity. Phytostabilization, a type of in-situ phytoremediation is aimed to immobilize and stabilize the toxic elements in soil using root system of metal resistant potential plants. To evaluate the phytostabilization potential of two gras...
This work aims to assess growth, physiology, and metal uptake response of Brachiaria mutica and Leptochloa fusca under different contamination levels of Cd (10 and 50 mg kg⁻¹) and Pb (50 and 250 mg kg⁻¹) stress. Results of pot trial showed increasing metal concentration affected B. mutica more as compared to L. fusca. In B. mutica metal stress subs...
Industrial wastewater contains a variety of contaminants like salts, organic carbon, and heavy metals. Among the heavy metals, cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) are considered highly toxic even at low concentration. These metals could enter the food chain through a process of phytoassimilation, hence, lethal for living beings. The present study aimed to i...

Water scarcity is one of the major global issues brought about by climate change. Besides creating socioeconomic challenges, drought and osmotic stress generated by these abnormal weather conditions results in
decreased agricultural productivity and deterioration of cultivable land resources. Different agronomic practices
and strategies such as gen...
Phytoremediation of heavy metal contaminated soils represents a promising technique and salt-tolerant hyperaccumulators for multiple metals are the need of time. Therefore, phytoremediation potential of four salt-tolerant grass species [Dhab (Desmostachya bipinnata), Kallar (Leptochloa fusca), Para (Brachiaria mutica) and Sporobolus (Sporobolus ara...
Selected haemetophagous phthirapterans have been convicted to act as reservoir and transmitter of pathogens among their hosts. Amblyceran Phthiraptera are generally believed to exhibit varying degree of haemetophagy. The microscopic examination of 100 adults (both sexes) and 47 nymphal instars of an amblyceran louse, Colpocephalum turbinatum reveal...
An analysis of the crop contents of the poultry shaft louse, Menopon gallina indicates that 67 % of adult males and 72 % of the adult females examined carried red content compatible to host blood, along with feather barbules. The percentage of nymphal instars carrying red content in the crop was quite low. On the basis of crop contents the louse do...
