Sugarcane is a highly industrious crop that suffers from a multitude of diseases induced by different species and causes such as environmental and physiological abnormalities and nutritional deficiencies. Owing to the prevalence of a variety of diseases viz., red rot, smut, wilt, grassy shoot, and pokkah boeng, significant yield losses in sugarcane occur. Pokkah boeng is going to be the largest of the diseases. Pokkah boeng is common and may occur in most varieties, but typically does not do much harm. In sugarcane, heavy losses in yields are caused due to the incidence of a number of disease viz., red rot, smut, wilt, grassy shoot and pokkah boeng. Among diseases, Pokkah boeng is going to be a major of them. The occurrence and intensity of pokkah boeng differ greatly from year to year depending on the varieties grown and the environmental conditions. Conventional approaches such as the use of aggressive host cultivars and industrial fungicides render the most infectious pathogens challenging to monitor. Among the main reasons undermining attempts to implement such protection, mechanisms are the absences of effective chemical controls, the incidence of fungicide tolerance in pathogens, and the degradation or situation of host susceptibility by pathogen species. In this review, we highlight the importance of breeding and the protection steps that can be introduced to minimize possible sugarcane yield losses induced by pokkah boeng.

Biodeterioration is irreversible damage that is caused by the colonization of bio communities on the surface of sandstone monuments. Out of all bio communities, fungi play the most vital role in the deterioration of sandstone. Fungi can colonize on the surface of sandstone and by releasing many types of inorganic and organic acids, pigments and enzymes, can changing not only the surface of the materials but the color of the sandstone. Moreover, mycelia of fungi can penetrate into the internal surface of sandstone and change the interior chemical contents of sandstone. This study was focused on the identification of fungi that were colonized on the sandstone monument. The samples were collected from different monument places built during different time periods and analyzed using cellophane tape methods and swabbing & serial dilution methods. A sampling of stone was carried out to identify inhibiting microorganisms. Biochemical and microscopic methods were used for isolated strains of samples. In addition, the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and sequencing of the PCR products were done. Finally, the phylogenic tree was constructed base on the sequences of ITs region. We identify high microbial diversity in fungal groups . The fungal commodity structure differed among the samples. The inhabiting fungi which isolated from sandstone monuments belong to high microbial diversity fungal groups. The result revealed that the strain exhibited a high level of 18S rRNA similarity with Aspergillus costaricaensis, Aspergillus luchuensis was identified as a close relative to Aspergillus spp.

This study aimed to determine the species composition and distribution of aquatic vascular macrophytes in Lake Buluan in Maguindanao and Sultan kudarat, Philippines. A total of ten (10) macrophytic species in 16 sampling sites were studied. In our observation, a non-native invasive species Eichhornia crassipes found to be dominant with a frequency of 81% occupying 496 hectares. The species diversity is found to be uneven and absence of submerged aquatic vegetation induces stress and disturbance in the lake ecosystem. Photographs of identified vascular macrophytes, study sites, Distribution map were provided. We recommend substantial measures have to be implemented to protect Buluan lake ecosystem against eutrophication and invasion.

In this paper the morphoanatomical details of mycorrhizal roots of Shorea robusta associated with three Russula species viz. Russula chlorinosma Burl. , Russula azurea Bres . and Russula cyanoxantha (Schaff.) Fr. were investigated for the first time. The EcM roots of S. robusta are much shorter than non-mycorrhizal roots and are variously branched . The EcM colonized roots are distinguished by differences in the shape and color of mycorrhizal system, surface texture, size and shape of cystidia, cell shape of mantle, as well as the differing chemical reactions. Mycorrhizal roots of Russula chlorinosma are mainly characterized by irregularly pinnate to simple mycorrhizal system, stringy to cottony, white to grayish brown surface, while Russula azurea have irregularly pinnate to coralloid, smooth, purple to grayish purple mycorrhizal system, whereas it is mostly simple, to monopodial pinnate with loosely short-spiny and light brown surface in case of Russula cyanoxantha . Size of cystidial elements are much larger in mycorrhizal roots of Russula cyanoxantha (52-114 × 3.0-6.5 µm) as compared to Russula chlorinosma (16-50 × 3-5 µm) and R . azurea (16-40 × 3-5 µm). In Russula chlorinosma cystidia are sub-cylindrical to obclavate and clavate to flask-shaped with acute to rounded apex and it was awl-shaped in Russula cyanoxantha with almost acute apex and swollen or bean shaped base, whereas it is sub-cylindrical to clavate with rounded apex, often similar to the ends of normal hyphae in R . azurea.

Culture conditions were optimized for high-frequency plant regulation via zygotic embryogenesis from cell culture of Euryale ferox (Makhana). Zygotic embryo developed into the yellowish globular structure and small callus followed by shoot formation at a frequency of 40%. When cultured on half-strength Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium, supplemented with 0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 mg/L of 2,4-D as growth regulator, the frequency of yellowish globular structure increased flabbily.

Himachal Pradesh, the mountainous state of Indian Himalayan region is famous for its religious culture, traditions and its unique flora and fauna. Gymnosperms have different uses like lumber, paper production, resin, soap, varnish, nail polish, food, fuel, religious, gum, essence and perfumes. In this, 20 species, 13 genera and 6 families have been described with their different uses. Due to overexploitation, habitat destruction, urbanization and climatic changes, gymnosperms are decreasing day by day. The present study helps to understand the utilization of gymnosperms by different ways and there is urgent need to aware the peoples to protect the plants for future.

The study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial activity by crude aqueous extract of ethnobotanical drugs prepared and prescribed by ethnic healers of Rayalaseema region. Ethnic drugs prepared from whole plant parts of Litsea deccanensis (LD), Atalantia racemosa (AR), Hiptage benghalensis (HB) and Lagerstroemia parviflora (LP) at dosages of 25,50,75 mg/mL were tested against pathogenic bacteria ( Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia) using agar well diffusion technique. Results reported significant antibacterial effect at 50 & 75 mg/mL for all the drugs tested and recommend these crude drugs as antibacterial agents.
