With 765 fungal isolates categorized into 73 distinct morphotaxa, 90.41% were identi ed across eight known genera, leaving 9.58% unidenti ed. Notably, Phoma and Pestalotiopsis emerged as the most diverse genera, presenting 13 and 11 morphotaxa respectively, while Alternaria and Xylaria showed lower diversity with 3 and 2 morphotaxa each. The research unveiled heightened fungal counts and diversity in trees situated in more polluted environments, leaves sampled during dry seasons, those exhibiting signs of disease, lower leaf sections, and midrib samples. These ndings underscore the rich assortment of endophytic fungi associated with Grevillea robusta leaves within roadside plantations in Hawassa City, emphasizing the need for further exploration of this fungal community's dynamics. Understanding the pivotal role of these endophytic fungi in tree health, ecosystem resilience, and potential applications in agriculture, forestry, and biotechnology remains imperative.

Ascites affect young broilers with rapid growth, and the most critical factor in causing ascites syndrome is the lack of oxygen in body tissues (hypoxia). This research aimed to investigate the effect of olive leaves hydroalcoholic extract and probiotics (LactoFeed) on experimental ascites caused by levothyroxine in male broiler chickens. The present study was an interventional type, and for its implementation, a single-factor design was used in eight groups with 3 replicates. Data were analyzed based on a one-way analysis of variance. Blood parameters of male chickens were measured after 42 days. Biochemical factors of the blood serum of broilers included AST, ALT, ALT, TSHT, T4, T3, Glucose, Cholesterol, Triglyceride, Urea, Uric acid, TP, Albumin, and Globulin. AST, ALT, and ALP levels in the induced ascites group increased by ...

A total of 240 one-day-old, male broilers of Ross 308 were used in a completely randomized design with 6 experimental groups and 4 replicates with 10 birds in each. Experimental treatments consisted of a basal soybean-meal diet (control), the basal diet supplemented with vitamin E at 200 mg/kg, Zataria multiflora essential oil at 200 mg/kg or 400 mg/kg, and Ziziphora clinopodioides essential oil at 200 mg/kg or 400 mg/kg. The results showed that the birds in the experimental groups consumed more feed and had significantly greater body weight as well as energy and protein efficiency in the whole experimental period, especially Ziziphora clinopodioides at the level of 400 mg/kg, compared to the control group (P < 0.05). Thyme extracts had a significant effect on the most blood factors, except cholesterol and LDL...

Fifth instar fifth day was used to draw the haemolymph and protein was estimated using Lowry et al. method. Varied haemolymph protein was observed between different races and their hybrids. The maximum haemolymph protein was obtained in C108 (46.39 mg/ml), whereas Nistari has shown minimum amount of haemolymph protein (36.41 mg/ml). Pure Mysore × Nistari has shown maximum haemolymph protein (52 mg/ml) and the minimum haemolymph protein was obtained from C108 × Nistari (31.09 mg/ml). The protein patterns were analyzed by SDS-PAGE. High genetic variance was observed between NB4D2 and Pure Mysore races.

In the present investigation, four different silkworm races (Bombyx mori L.) were drawn from the germplasm of Department of Studies in Sericulture Science, University of Mysore, Manasagangotri, Mysore and 12 hybrids were prepared. Whole moth body tissue (after egg laying) was collected from all the genotypes for DNA extraction and fifteen random primers (Different types of OPA and UBC) were used. High degree of polymorphism of 100% was detected in case of 4 primers, viz., UBC-704, UBC-731, UBC-747 and OPA-05. The lowest percentage of polymorphism (0.0%) was observed when amplified by OPA-01 and OPA-02. The cluster analysis based on UPGMA method based on dissimilarity index values has generated the dendrogram which has clearly separated the bivoltine and multivoltine races into two groups. Pure Mysore is genetically further away fr...

The traits of larval weight and cocoon weight showed highly significant heterosis in F1 hybrids ranging from 11 to 23% and 14 to 27 % respectively, while inbreeding depression in the F2 progeny ranged from 0.366 - 10.814% and 2.682 - 12.312% respectively. Shell weight showed low level of heterosis in F1 hybrids (14 to 20 %), whereas the effect of inbreeding depression in F2 progeny was -4.369 to 8.467% for this character. C108 × NB4D2 hybrids proved to be a good specific combiner by making higher contribution towards heterosis both in F1 hybrids and inbreeding at F2 generation.

Because of its structural simplicity exhibiting holometabolus type of metamorphosis, several molecular genetical approaches are very well established in many countries utilizing this insect. Added to these benefits the silk produced by this insect is considered as “Queen of textile fibres” and several breeding strategies with background knowledge of bio-molecular techniques, proteomics and genomics heralded a new avenue in the contemporary biology. Hence, RAPD & ISSR markers are ideal and most widely applied and probably because they do not require the knowledge of genome sequences and protocol is relatively simple, rapid and cost effective and also high reproducible in nature. Moreover, Current trends of application of DNA marker techniques have made revolution at molecular world. Hence,...

Antioxidants are compounds that effectively inhibit the reaction of oxygen and nitrogen-free radicals with biomolecules in a variety of ways, reducing damage or preventing cell death, cardiovascular diseases, and cancers. Objective: In this study, chemical compounds of Adiantum capillus-veneris essential oil were used to evaluate its antioxidant and antimicrobial activity using water distillation and gas chromatography. Methods: The whole plant was dried at room temperature at 25 ° C and the distillation method with water with modifications was used using a Clevenger device for essential oil extraction. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) was used to identify the resulting essential oil compounds and the antioxidant and antibacterial activity of the essential oil was evaluated.

In order to understand the genetics of cross breeding system between multivoltine and bivoltine races, a hybridization experiment was conducted by crossing females of multivoltine races (Pure Mysore and Nistari) with males of bivoltine races (C 108 and NB 4 D 2) and its reciprocals during 2009. The twelve straight and reciprocal hybrids were reared under standard laboratory condition. The data of the hybrids was analysed for the estimation of six economical traits to study the crossing effects, between the hybrids. The straight and reciprocal crossing of C 108× NB 4 D 2 has shown maximum cocoon weight (0.37 gr) whereas PMNistari has recorded minimum cocoon weight (0.2 gr) among the hybrids. Superiority of strait crosses between multivoltine and bivoltine races only have been shown for denier trait in PMNB 4 D 2 hybrid. In bivoltinemultivoltine hybrids, characters such as cocoon weight, shell weight, filament length and denier showed high significant difference
