The chemical complexity of decomposing plant litter is a central feature shaping the terrestrial carbon (C) cycle, but explanations of the origin of this complexity remain contentious. Here, we ask: How does litter chemistry change during decomposition, and what roles do decomposers play in these changes? During a long-term (730 days) litter decomposition experiment, we tracked concurrent chang...

The present study was undertaken to review current pharmacological activity and chemistry of Anogeissus latifolia. This plant contains a great content of terpenoids and flavanoids which make this a plant with high antioxidant potential. This plant has been evaluated for different pharmacological activity like antimicrobial, anti-ulcer, wound healing and anthelmintic activity. This plant also pr...

Application of a Laboratory Information and Management System called MERLIN for the diverse jobs of a laboratory from taking samples to data evaluation. With the MERLIN application the plant has:-easily integrated corporate chemistry specifications-adjusted them to plant specifics, setting of more restrictive thresholds, setting specifications per type, date and frequency-adjusted them to the l...

Intraspecific plant diversity can modify the properties of associated arthropod communities and plant fitness. However, it is not well understood which plant traits determine these ecological effects. We explored the effect of intraspecific chemical diversity among neighbouring plants on the associated invertebrate community and plant traits. In a common garden experiment, intraspecific diversi...
