Reproductive Allocation in Euphorbia wallichii Hook. f. in Natural Populations of Kashmir Himalaya
Abstract: AbstractEuphorbia wallichii is an important medicinal plant of Kashmir Himalaya. The study on resource allocation reveals that species allocates maximum resources towards the growth and development of the below ground part followed by aerial part. High altitude populations have more reproductive effort than low altitude populations. Partitioning of resources is not uniform, it varies in different parts of the plant species with different altitudes. The total resource budget per plant …

Distribution, Species Morphology, Phenotypic Variability and Phenology of Epilobium hirsutum L.: A Comparative Study
Abstract: AbstractThe species is distributed along an altitudinal range of 1500–2700m asl. Significant variability in phenotypic traits was observed within and across different populations. A considerable trend of decreasing phenotypic characteristics was observed with decrease in altitudinal gradient. The plants in transplanted site (KUBG) diverge in various traits and timing of phenophases from other three natural populations through Chadoora, Shopian and Shalimar. The plant height decreases with decrease in altitude and …

Effects of Plasticizer DI-(2 Ethylhexyl) Phthalate on Liver Enzymes of Adult Male Albino Rats
Abstract: AbstractDi-(2 Ethylhexyl) Phthalate (DEHP) is a common plasticizer used to make the plastic products more flexible. It is quite harmful as tested on other animal models and is carcinogenic too. The liver is the major organ for detoxification in body and is therefore affected first due to intake of any toxicant. The liver enzymes are good parameter to assess any such hepatic damage. In the present study, the acute toxicity …
