Field experiment was carried out at Ornamental Nursery, Department of Horticulture, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) Agricultural University Peshawar, during 2009 to study “the response of plane tree cuttings to different planting dates”. Three types of cuttings (hardwood cuttings, semi-hardwood cuttings, Softwood cuttings) and three dates (6 January, 21 January and 5 February) were studied. The experim...

In this in vitro study, we investigated the efficacy of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2) in dissolving necrotic tissue and cleaning root canals. In the first part of the study, 0.5% NaOCl solution and Ca(OH)2 paste and solution were tested with samples of necrotic bovine muscle in different treatment modes and for different periods. The necrotic tissue was weighed bef...

A bstract. Soybean, Glycine max L., and elodea, Elodea canadensis Michx, leaves were exposed to sublethal and lethal temperatures and examined by light microscopy. Loss of ohlorophyll and swollen chloroplasts were observed in cells of elodea leaves exposed to sublethal temperatures. At the thermal death point of leaf cells of elodea and soybean, there was a disorganization of the tonoplast memb...

Studies on the effect of simulated acid raid rain (pH 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 5.0 and control pH 5.6) growth, yield mineral nutrient relations Capsicum frutescens (chilli pepper) was carried out. Simulated (SAR) prepared by adding sulphuric nitric in ratio 3:1 to distilled water get desired pH, sprayed plants. The experimental result indicated that under stress rain, growth parameters which include plan...

Pegagan (Centella asiatica (L.) Urban) is a herbal plant that contain secondary metabolite compounds like phenol and flavonoid. NaCl salinity one of abiotic stress enhanced synthesis some metabolites in plants. This study was investigated the effect to phenolic compound, total flavonoid antioxidant activity pegagan leaves. were treated with five different concentrations, 0 mM (1), 50 (2), 100 (...

Two new species of Cladosporium found on necrotic needles of Pinus ponderosa trees in Patagonia, Argentina, are described as C. chubutense and C. pini-ponderosae. An additional isolate from dead leaves of Cortaderia collected in Colombia, which is a sister taxon to the species occurring on Pinus, is described as Cladosporium colombiae. These species are phylogenetically closely related, but dif...
