Present study was conducted to evaluate the fungicidal property of methanolic extracts of some indigenous plants of Karachi such as Hibiscus rosa-sinensis (leaves), Thespesia populnea (leaves, stem and fruit), Withania somnifera (leaves and stem), Solanum surattense (shoot) and Melia azedarach (fruit) against common soil-borne phytopathogens viz., Macrophomina phaseolina, Rhizoctonia solani and...

Methanolic extracts of leaves and seeds from the chinaberry tree, Melia azedarach L. (Meliaceae) was tested against mature and immature mosquito vector Anopheles stephensi Liston (Diptera) under laboratory condition. The extract showed strong larvicidal, pupicidal, adulticidal, antiovipositional activity, repellency and biting deterency. The M. azedarach seed and leaf extracts were used to dete...

Manganese (Mn) excess is a major abiotic stress for plant growth. In the present study, we investigated effects of Mn on photosynthesis in Ligustrum lucidum and Melia azedarach leaves using chlorophyll fluorescence transients. Both species were exposed to two concentrations (0.5 1 mmol) 10 30 d. Results showed that significantly inhibited photosynthesis. With increase concentration time, inhibi...

To each category C of modules of finite length over a complex simple Lie algebra g, closed under tensoring with finite dimensional modules, we associate and study a category AFF(C)κ of smooth modules (in the sense of Kazhdan and Lusztig [9]) of finite length over the corresponding affine Kac– Moody algebra in the case of central charge less than the critical level. Equivalent characterizations ...
