Aphis (Aphis) cracciovora Koch is a polyphagous aphid and is a major pest of legume crops. The diversity of its host range in India includes plants belonging to over 200 species/subspecies under 46 plant families. Plants belonging to following families are highly infested: Asteraceae, Cucurbitaceae, Fabaceae and Solanaceae.
Young people are often considered to be the group that does not care and apathetic toward politics, but their voices are important for the development of democracy. Therefore, efforts should be made to encourage them to participate in an election that has become a symbol of democracy. Social media is able to change the view as well as encouraging young people to become more actively involved as citizens, including participating in the elections. This research aims to study the effects of exposure to social media content on the university students' knowledge of elections.
The present work evaluated the anti-inflammatory activity of methanolic extract of Wattakaka volubilis against the carrageenan induced rat paw oedema in Wister Albino rats at dose dependent manner (150 and 300mg/kgbody weight). Our results showed that the methanolic extract of W. volubilis gives a strongest anti-inflammatory activity (71.7%) werecompare to the standard drug as indomethacin.
Amorphophallus campanulatus (Roxb.) is an important tuberous plant with medicinal potential belongs to Family Araceae, largely cultivated throughout the plains of India. The A. campanulatus (Roxb.) contains phytochemicals such as flavonoids, alkaloids, steroids, phenol and tannins. The Wrightia tinctoria R.Br native to India and have reported to contains presence of glycoflavones, iso-orientin, phenolic acid and also various compounds like lupeol, stigmasterol and competosterol. The present work intends concentrated to determination of flavonoids present in corm of A.
To perform preliminary phytochemical screening, GC-MS analysis and to study the antimicrobial activity of Petroleum ether, ethanolic and aqueous extracts of Vernonia cinerea leaves. Leaves of Vernonia cinerea was shade dried, powdered and extracted with respective solvents. The extracts were then screened for phytocompounds, the petroleum ether and ethanol extracts were analysed by GC-MS to detect the compounds present in the polar and non polar solvent extracts of the leaves.
Auto exhaust pollution serve as the major driver of the deteriorating air quality in Rewa city. This study aims to investigate the effects of auto exhaust pollution on foliar morphological structure of road side ornamental shrub species, Bougainvillea spectabilis. Increased number of stomata and epidermal cells per unit area in leaf samples of Bougainvillea spectabilis collected from polluted sites than those from control sites is observed by light microscopic technique.
The Objective of the study is to determine the effect of Brahmi Nei with massage and varmam on dynamic gait index of children with spastic cerebral palsy. Among the 250 children 210 Spastic CP satisfied the inclusion criteria and were divided in to three groups (N=70 Nos). Group –I treated as an active control, Group –II received Brahmi Nei, Group - III received Brahmi Nei along with external therapies such as massage with Vasavu ennai and Varmam twice a day. Experimental period was 90 days and dynamic gait index was recorded 0th day and followed by every 30th day.
A new series of copper (II) and zinc (II) Schiff bases complexes containing the bidentate ligands N, N'-bis (diphenylmethylene) ethane-1, 2-diamine (L1) and N, N'-bis (diphenyl methylene) benzene-1, 2-diamine (L2) was prepared by the condensation of the ethylenediamine, or the orthophénylènediamine on benzophenone in ethanol at reflux. The Schiff base ligands and their corresponding complexes have been identified by IR spectroscopy, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and by ESI MS spectrometry.
Click synthesize of several novel tris-chalcone with 2,4,6-trichloro-1,3,5-triazine core from reaction of premade tris-aldhydes or tris-acetophenones with aromatic aldehydes or acetophenones under basic conditions in MeOH in the presence of NaOH are reported. All of the synthesized products were characterized by FT-IR, 1H, 13CNMR and elemental analysis. The antibacterial activities of tris-chalcones were estimated versus Staphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus luteus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Bacillus subtilis. Some compounds display promising activities.
The present study was carried out to investigate the phytochemical screening, antibacterial, antifungal activity and GC-MS analysis of Costus pictus leaf extracts. Antibacterial activity of Costus pictus leaf extracts was evaluated against Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus and antifungal activity against Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus parasites, Candida albicans and M. Purpureus. Three different solvents Ethanol, Petroleum ether and Aqueous were used for extraction.
