This paper’s emphasis is on the development of a fluorescent chemosensor for Fe3+ ions in an aqueous solution, using hydrophilic carbon dots (O-CDs). A simple, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly one-step hydrothermal synthesis method was used to synthesize O-CDs from Oxalis corniculata (Family; Oxalidaceae). The graphitic structure size distribution verified by X-ray diffraction, Rama...

An ethnobotanical field study focusing on traditional wild food botanical taxa was carried out in Kaniguram, South Waziristan, Pakistan, among Ormur (or Burki or Baraki) peoples, which represent a diasporic minority group, as well the surrounding Pashtuns. Through sixty semi-structured interviews, fifty-two plants (taxa) were recorded, and they primarily used raw snacks cooked vegetables. Compa...

Halenia coreana is an endangered, endemic species that distributed in only a few locations Korea, such as Mts. Hwaaksan and Daeamsan. It has been recently segregated from H. corniculata, broadly cold temperate regions include northern Japan, the Russian Far East, northeastern China, Mongolia, eastern Europe, where population sizes are usually large. To examine genetic diversity of evaluate leve...

The smut genus Thecaphora contains plant parasitic microfungi that typically infect very specific plant organs. In this study, we describe a new species of Thecaphora from Oxalis lanata var. rosea (Oxalidaceae) in the Cape Floristic Region of South Africa. Molecular phylogenetic reconstructions based on large subunit ribosomal DNA sequence data confirmed the generic placement of the fungus and ...

Tropospheric ozone (O 3 ) is found to be a severe threat agriculture and natural vegetation. The present study was conducted investigate the structural functional changes in an intact seminatural grassland community when exposed elevated O (EO ; ambient + 20 parts per billion) compared (AO for years using open-top chambers. Parameters such as species richness (SR), evenness ( E ), Shannon index...

Oxalis simplicifolia Lorence & W. L. Wagner sp. nov., a new species from the Marquesas Islands (Ua Huka) is described and illustrated. It differs from the other Marquesas species, Oxalis gagneorum, in having simple, unifoliolate glabrous leaves, minutely glandular-puberulent calyx lobes, shorter corolla lobes, erect capsules, and smaller seeds. As its habitat is under serious threat from human ...
