A biodiversity survey of Great Rann Kachchh was carried out from August 2021 to January 2022. During this survey, Salsola oppositifolia Desf recorded as a new record for the India. It various localities Kachchh. included hilly outcrops, muddy saline, bunds on fringes rann, etc.

BACKGROUND Several studies have shown that the corpus luteum is the principal source of progesterone during the gravidity period in reptiles; however, its participation in the maintenance of gestation in the viviparous squamata is in dispute. The effects of ovariectomy or luteectomy vary according to the species and the time at which the procedure is performed. In this paper, we describe the ef...

Russian thistle or tumbleweed (Salsola tragus L.) is an introduced invasive weed in N. America. It is widely distributed in the U.S. and is a target of biological control efforts. The obligate biotrophic rust fungus Uromyces salsolae Reichardt is a candidate biological control agent of Russian thistle, and host range tests were conducted in quarantine to determine whether the fungus is safe to ...

This paper is intended to shed light on the extent of poverty in the Russian Federation. We present estimates of poverty lines and poverty ratios derived from subjective questions used in a during data collection for a large household panel (RUSSET). We estimate poverty using a subjective approach, where the level of the poverty line is derived using the opinion of the individual, rich or poor,...

Marketed plants are an important but a vulnerable group of plants whose investigations as well as conservation should be considered with priority. The chemistry, and in some cases biological activities of novel iso ̄avonoids, nor-lignans, anthracene and naphthalene derivatives and poly prenylated ̄avonoids isolated and characterized from Hagenia abyssinica, Salsola somalensis, Hypoxis spp., Tave...

Two highly identical fusion proteins, an allene oxide synthase-lipoxygenase (AOS-LOX) and a hydroperoxide lyase-lipoxygenase (HPL-LOX), were identified in the soft coral Capnella imbricata. Both enzymes initially catalyze the formation of 8R-hydroperoxy-eicosatetraenoic acid (8R-HpETE) from arachidonic acid by the C-terminal lipoxygenase (LOX) domain. Despite the fact that the defined catalytic...
