The plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) induces a developmental switch in the aquatic fern Marsilea quadrifolia, causing the formation of aerial type characteristics, including the elongation of petioles and roots, a change in leaf morphology, the expansion of leaf surface area, and the shortening of the internodes. A number of ABA-responsive heterophylly (ABRH) genes are induced early during the...

The study was carried out to determine the seasonal variation of nitrite levels in drinking and surface waters of urban, peri-urban and rural areas of Lucknow, during 2007-2008, and to evaluate the nitrite removal and accumulation potential of certain native aquatic macrophytes. Most of the drinking and surface water samples were collected from urbanized region of the city. All drinking water s...

The present study was undertaken to evaluate in vivo anti-aggressive potential of a standardized extract of Marsilea minuta Linn. (Marsileaceae). The standardized extract of Marsilea minuta was evaluated for its potential effects against defensive and offensive aggressive behavior models of rodents. Marsilea minuta extract was orally administered at three dose levels (100, 200, and 400 mg/kg BW...

This article aims to evaluate the possible antidepressant effect of Ghrita prepared from combination these plants and provide probable scientific explanations for using medicated (ghee) in Ayurvedic system medicine. Herbs like Marsilea quadrifolia, Lawsonia inermis, Mimosa pudica, Piper betle were collected freshly during month June. One part Kalka (herb bolus), 4 parts pure cow ghee, 16 Dravad...

The spread of contagious diseases and the increase in the drug resistance amongst pathogens has enforced the researchers to synthesize biologically active nanoparticles. Development of eco-friendly practice for the synthesis of nanoparticles is growing bit by bit in the field of nano-biotechnology. The present investigation outlines the development of a method to biosynthesize copper nanopartic...

The tribal belt of the Hindu Kush mountains is famous for its unique culture, ethnography, wild food plants, systems, and traditional knowledge. People in this region gather plants plant parts using them directly or cuisine, sell local markets. However, there a huge lack documentation system, particularly that related to (WFP). In current study, we focus on uses contributions WFPs system valley...
