Carbohydrate Profile of Root-knot Nematode, Meloidogyne Incognita Infecting Leguminous Plants: A Review
Abstract: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Carbohydrates are the most abundant class of organic compounds found in living organisms. They originate as products of photosynthesis, an endothermic reductive condensation of carbon dioxide requiring light energy and the pigment chlorophyll. The carbohydrates are the major source of metabolic energy, both for plants and the animals and the later depend on plants for their food. The estimation of carbohydrates …

Investigation on the Efficacy of Leaf Extract of Goat Weed, Ageratum conyzoides on NR Biophysiological Characteristics of Black Gram Vigna mungo Infected with Root–Knot Nematode Meloidogyne incognita
Abstract: Root-knot nematodes, Meloidogyne sp. are economically important plant pathogens affecting root system that can be managed by cultural practices, chemical nematicides and resistant cultivars. Use of nematicides for the management of root knot nematodes are being restricted due to environmental and human health concerns in addition nematicides often do not provide long term suppression of the pathogens. Therefore, there is a need to develop alternate ecofriendly management strategies for the …

The Induction, Formation, and Establishment of Giant Cell in Plant-Parasitic (Meloidogyne Spp.)-Host Interactions: A Molecular and Cellular Basis
Abstract: Root-knot nematodes, (RKN) are obligatory endoparasites of over 3000 plant species, causing $70 billion in annual economic losses globally. The second stage juveniles hatch from the eggs invade the root apex and inject pathogen effectors that induce specialized feeding cell called Giants cell that are large multinucleated cell formed, due to repeated cycles of mitosis without cytokinesis and served sole source of feeding site for rootknot nematode. The ability RNN …

Ivermectin: Its Therapeutic Efficacy in the Treatment of COVID-19
Abstract: Over past 35 years the most commonly used anti-helminthic drug is ivermectin. It has showed good impact in treating the parasitic infections. The drug provides an evidence of immune modulatory and anti-inflammatory actions in vitro animal model. Ivermectin belongs to the class of ivermectin and most widely used as an anti-parasitic agent. It is also used in the treatment of internal nematode infections like onchocerciasis, filariasis, and strongloidiasis. For the …

Architectured Multiphase Polymeric Carriers with Microstructural Gradients: Synergistic Filler Effects for the Precision Delivery in Tuberous Plant Systems
Abstract: In this paper, 50 papers were reviewed to analyse the design, techniques, and applications of polymer composite systems for delivering agrochemicals against major tuberous plant pathogens, including fungi, bacteria, and nematodes. Primary tuber plant pathogens affecting yield are studied, followed by a study of control strategies. This is followed by a study of the basic properties of polymer composites, including the significance of natural and synthetic polymers. Then, the study …

Microplastics in Terrestrial Ecosystems: Impacts on Soil Biodiversity, Plant Growth, and Nutrient Cycling
Abstract: Microplastics, defined as plastic particles smaller than 5 mm, have emerged as a widespread environmental contaminant in terrestrial ecosystems. Although their impacts in aquatic environments have received considerable attention, the occurrence and ecological consequences of microplastics in soil ecosystems are increasingly recognized as an important environmental concern. Agricultural practices, plastic mulching, sewage sludge application, wastewater irrigation, compost, atmospheric deposition, and the fragmentation of larger plastic materials are major pathways through …

Stomach Content of the Sleeper Fish, Bostrychus africanus from the New Calabar River, Nigeria
Abstract: Stomach content of the sleeper fish, Bostrychus africanus from the New Calabar river, Nigeria, was studied over a period of three months. The study was conducted to provide information on the likely nutritional requirement for the fish, if it is to be cultured. Analysis using Index of relative importance (IRI) showed that crab parts was the most important food item. Other items contained in the gut included nematodes, shrimp, pisces …
