Ticks and tick born diseases affect the economics of dairy farm animals. Continuous use acaricides leads to development acaricide resistance in population, order overcome resistance, newer alternatives like herbal extracts can be used as acaricides. The following study is designed evaluate acaricidal efficacy Azadirachta indica, Calotropis gigantea Ricinus communis against R. (Boophilus) microp...

Paenibacillus amylolyticus strain GM1FR is an endophyte isolated from aerial plant tissues of Festuca rubra L. Here, we report the draft genome sequence (7.3 Mb) of GM1FR containing 6,241 protein-coding genes, some of which are potentially involved in plant growth promotion and biocontrol.

Here, we report the draft genome sequence of Bacillus pumilus GM3FR, an endophytic bacterium isolated from aerial plant tissues of Festuca rubra L. The draft genome consists of 3.5 Mb and harbors 3,551 predicted protein-encoding genes. The genome provides insights into the biocontrol potential of B. pumilus GM3FR.

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Is the release of allelochemicals by the dominant tussock grass Festuca paniculata responsible for its dominance by inhibiting growth of neighbour grasses in subalpine grasslands? As such a community is also structured by mowing practices, what could be the impact of mowing on allelopathy? METHODS A design was used that isolated allelopathy from resource competition by sep...

BACKGROUND Biological methods of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) contamination elimination typically involve the transformation of contaminants to non-toxic materials by microorganisms and plants and appear to be the most effective methods available. METHODS In this study, Bacillus licheniformis and Bacillus mojavensis isolated from oil-contaminated soils were inoculated onto Festuca a...

Calotropis gigantea Linn and Tridax procumbens Linn, are well documented medicinal plants distributed in Asia and Africa and are useful for many ailments. The anti-inflammatory activity of low dose of the aqueous extract of T. procumbens and ethanolic extract of C.gigantea were assessed on carrageenan induced paw edema and compared with standard drug Ibuprofen. The oral administration of 400mg/...

Celtica gigantea(= Stipa gigantea) is a large perennial grass which grows in nutrient-poor sandy soils semiarid zones of the western Iberian Peninsula. The purpose this work was to find out if culturable fungal symbionts isolated from roots wild could have growth promoting activity tritordeum, hybrid cereal for human consumption. A survey fungi root endosphere C. gigantea produced an isolate co...

sarcocystis is one of the most prevalent parasites of domestic ruminants worldwide. this study was aimed to determine prevalence of sarcocystis infection and molecular discrimination of sarcocystis gigantea and sarcocystis medusiformis infecting domestic sheep. tissue samples from 638 sheep slaughtered at urmia abattoir were randomly collected from february 2011 to january 2012. genomic dna ext...
