Variable indirect photosynthetic rate (P(n)) responses occur on injured leaves after insect herbivory. It is important to understand factors that influence indirect P(n) reductions after injury. The current study examines the relationship between gas exchange and chlorophyll a fluorescence parameters with injury intensity (% single leaf tissue removal) from clipping or Spodoptera eridania Stoll...

Nerium olender popularly known as ’Indian olender’ in India belongs to family Apocyanaceae. The objective of the present work was to identify the phytochemical constituents and also to evaluate the in vitro anthelmintic potency of the aqueous extract of Nerium olender flower using Indian earthworms (Pheretima posthumad).
