The biodiversity and distribution of epiphytic orchids are strongly influenced by their relationship with host plants, and environmental variables like elevation, slope, and local climate are key factors in determining the abundance and diversity of these orchids. The aim of this study was to examine the richness of orchid species at different elevations within the research area of Nepal. Sampling was conducted at elevations ranging from 1300 m to 2800 m above sea level, using a systematic sampling technique known as belt transects.

Unlabelled: Recombinant chimeric horsepox virus (TNX-801) is a preclinical vaccine in development against mpox and smallpox. In this report, we investigated the potential phenotypic differences in and models between TNX-801 and older vaccinia virus (VACV)-based vaccine strains (VACV-Lis and VACV-NYCBH) used in the eradication of smallpox as well as VACV-WR, VACV-IHD, and MVA. TNX-801 displayed a small plaque phenotype (~1-2 mm) in BSC-40 and Vero-E6 cells.

Potassium, a pivotal macronutrient essential for growth, development, and crop yield, serves as a critical determinant of soil productivity. Its depletion disrupts the equilibrium of soil nutrients, prompting an investigation into integrated potassium management strategies to address this challenge. A field experiment was conducted during the winter season of 2020 using a randomized complete block design, with eight treatments, each replicated three times in Chinese cabbage ( L.
