L. as Novel Source of Bioactive Compounds in Hot Arid Regions: Evaluation of Phytochemical Composition and Antioxidant Activity.

L. (Phog) is an endemic perennial herb that is highly resistant to all type of abiotic stresses and dominant biomass as well as phytochemicals producer in its natural habitat of the "Thar Desert" of Rajasthan, India. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of extreme environmental conditions on the phenolic, flavonoids, tannin content, and total antioxidant activities of foliage harvested during different months.

Host plant accessions determine bottom-up effect of snapmelon ( var. ) against melon fly ( (Coquillett)).

The melon fly, (Tephritidae: Diptera) is an important pest of snapmelon ( var. ), leading to significant losses in yield in the hot arid agro-climate of India. The accessions IC- 430190 (11.
