First identification of potato tuber rot caused by , its silver nanoparticles synthesis, characterization and use against harmful pathogens.

Potato is one of the highly consumed vegetable crop grown in different regions across Pakistan that is affected by fungal diseases. The current research was conducted to identify fungal pathogen causing mold-like disease of potato in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Pakistan. For molecular identification and characterization of the fungal disease; potato tuber samples were collected followed by culturing on potato dextrose agar (PDA).

Augmented anticancer effect and antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles synthesized by using leaf extract.

Background: is an evergreen tree species found in the Himalayan region of Pakistan. The tree possesses important secondary metabolites such as Taxol that has been implicated in treating breast, ovarian and colon cancer. Therefore keeping in view the importance of this plant species, silver nanoparticles were synthesized using aqueous leaf extract and evaluated for their anti-bacterial and anti-cancer properties.

Clinical Prevalence, Antibiogram Profiling and Gompertz Growth Kinetics of Resistant Treated with Nanoparticles of Rosin Extracted from .

The rise of methicillin-resistant (MRSE) makes it difficult to treat infections that increase morbidity and mortality rates in various parts of the world. The study's objectives include identifying the clinical prevalence, antibiogram profile, and Gompertz growth kinetics of MRSE treated with synthetically created nanoparticles of rosin obtained from . A total of 64 of 200 clinical isolates of (32% of the total) displayed sensitivity (40.

Prediction and evaluation of multi epitope based sub-unit vaccine against .

is the most common enteric pathogen in humans and animals. Consumption of contaminated food or water triggers inflammation that allows to spread into the gut and causes gastrointestinal diseases. The infection spreads by intestinal invasion, phagocyte internalization and subsequent dissemination in many other patients.

Growth responses and rubisco activity influenced by antibiotics and organic amendments used for stress alleviation in Lactuca sativa.

The global increase in the consumption of antibiotics has resulted in contamination of different ecosystems with severe implications on crop productivity. This study investigated the effects of ampicillin and ofloxacin on Lactuca sativa germination upon solution exposure and growth when cultivated in soils treated with three organic amendments (compost, rice husk and vermicompost). Two levels of both antibiotics 5 and 10 mg L (for solution) or mg kg (for soil) were tested in addition to the control.

Does the growth response of woody plants to elevated CO2 increase with temperature? A model-oriented meta-analysis.

The temperature dependence of the reaction kinetics of the Rubisco enzyme implies that, at the level of a chloroplast, the response of photosynthesis to rising atmospheric CO2 concentration (Ca ) will increase with increasing air temperature. Vegetation models incorporating this interaction predict that the response of net primary productivity (NPP) to elevated CO2 (eCa ) will increase with rising temperature and will be substantially larger in warm tropical forests than in cold boreal forests. We tested these model predictions against evidence from eCa experiments by carrying out two meta-analyses.
