Background Libidibia ferrea is a species particular to the caatinga presenting medicinal properties for containing bioactive compounds. The use of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) can increase the production of biomolecules in the legume leaves; however, no light has been shed on the role of symbiosis in maximizing metabolites production in the bark of L. ferrea stem. Objective The aim was ...

In advancing to one scientific name for fungi, this paper treats genera competing for use in the phylogenetically defined class Leotiomycetes except for genera of Erysiphales. Two groups traditionally included in the so-called "inoperculate discomycetes" have been excluded from this class and are also not included here, specifically Geoglossomycetes and Orbiliomycetes. A recommendation is made ...

Philodendron bipinnatifidum Schott ex Endl. is a popular ornamental plant that normally propagated by tissue culture methods. However, the growth and acclimatization of micropropagated plants are tarrying processes. Therefore, in present study we examined effect arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) Gigaspora albida G. marginata on success establishment, growth, development P. plantlets during pha...

Poverty and poor sanitation in sub-Saharan Africa are the main reasons for parasitic infection prevalence. Medicinal herbs have been sources of natural cheaper remedies treatment many infections, including intestinal parasites. The study aimed to document medicinal used treating worm infections Ibadan metropolis through an ethnobotanical survey. three traditional herb markets, Oje, Oja Oba Iwo ...

Climate change affects populations of plants, animals, and fungi not only by direct modifications their climatic niches but also altering ecological interactions. In this study, the future distribution suitable habitats for small-white orchid ( Pseudorchis albida ) was predicted using niche modeling. addition, effect global warming on spatial availability pollen vectors species evaluated. Due t...

Cyclotides are a family of plant proteins that are characterized by a cyclic backbone and a knotted disulfide topology. Their cyclic cystine knot (CCK) motif makes them exceptionally resistant to thermal, chemical, and enzymatic degradation. By disrupting cell membranes, the cyclotides function as host defense peptides by exhibiting insecticidal, anthelmintic, antifouling, and molluscicidal act...
