Ethno-Indicator Plants of Paddy Season in the Bumdeling Region of Trashi Yangtse, Bhutan
Plants are integral parts of human civilization. They provide mankind with basic food, shelter, clothes, and medicines[8, 34,28]. Plants also serve the purpose of indicating environmental pollution. The different tribal groups used different plants as indicators of seasons and ecological processes[13,23,25].The traditional knowledge ofecological indicators and calendars associated with seasonal variation serves as a

Comparative evaluation of anti-cancer properties from different Indian plants and seaweed using in vitro and silico technique
It has been decades since lung cancer has been a global health burden for cancer-related mortalities across the globe, mainly due to its diagnosis at a very late stage and lack of effective treatment strategies(1). The complexity of the molecular pathways that cause tumorigenesis and lead to resistance to therapy has posed a major obstacle
Impact of Aqueous BryophyllumPinnatum Leaf Extract on Hematological Indices, Parasitemia, and Mortality in Wistar Albino Rats
Plants have long served as invaluable resources in the quest for novel therapeutic agents, largely due to their rich array of bioactive compounds such as antioxidants, hypoglycemic agents, and hypolipidemic constituents. A substantial proportion of modern pharmaceutical drugs are either directly derived from plants or modeled after plant-based compounds, highlighting the pivotal role of flora
Hydritic Stress Tolerance Indices for Four New Varieties of Cotonnier (Gossypium Hirsutum)
1. Introduction Water stress is a major factor limiting crop production, particularly in the cotton-growing zone of Cameroon. It affects plant growth by inducing morphological, physiological and biochemical changes linked to the expression of genes associated with drought tolerance [8]. To survive, plants develop adaptation mechanisms, such as the accumulation of osmotic substances (proline, betaine,
Efficacy of Selected Botanicals on Fungi Rot Effect on Proximate and Phytochemical Composition of Walnut Seeds (Tetracarpidium Conophorum).
INTRODUCTION African walnut (Tetracarpidium conophorum Mull. Arg) is aneconomic tropical climber tree widely grown for its edible nut (2;17). The plant is mostly known as African walnut or conophor nut. It belongs to the family Euphorbiaceae.

Evaluation of Different Types of Fertilization on the Productivity of A Cereal (Zéa Mays) in the Sudano-Sahelian Zone of Cameroon
1- INTRODUCTION In sub-Saharan Africa, the consequences of climate change are increasingly being felt, particularly in the agricultural sector, where yields are falling. This, combined with rapid population growth at a stable rate of 2.7%[1], is contributing to the failure to achieve food security and an increase in malnutrition [2], [3]. The effects of climate
Formulation and Evaluation of Biosynthesized Terminalia Arjuna Extract Loaded Polymeric Nanoparticles for the Treatment of Hyperlipidemia
Introduction: Oral drug delivery remains the most widely preferred route of administration due to its non-invasive nature, ease of use, cost-effectiveness, and compatibility with mass production. Compared to parenteral methods such as intravenous, intramuscular, and subcutaneous injections—or even inhalational therapies—oral formulations offer significantly greater patient compliance and convenience [1].In the pursuit of patient-friendly, needle-free delivery

Bacteria from Boiled and Un-Boiled Pasteurized Milk: A Comparative Analysis of Microbiological and Biochemical Properties
Since ancient ages milk and milk products have been used by the human population. During the past few decades, with regard to living standards, diet, hygiene and usage of antibiotics, developing countries have been changing fast. Society considers the emotional and cultural importance of milk, the very first food of mammals including humans. Milk has
