Rhyzopertha dominica Fabr. (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) is a highly polyphagousserious insect-pest of stored cereals particularly wheat under tropical conditions and causes extensive damage both in terms of quantity and quality to stored wheat grains.. Study on ovipositional preference in wheat varieties was conducted at Department of Zoology, D.B.S.College, Kanpur, India during 2004 to 2005 Six wheat, Triticum aestvum Linn varieties viz., TL 174, K 65, HI 774, UPT 72294, Kalyan Sona and HD1982 were tested under laboratory condition in protected and unprotected condition. In the present investigations six varieties of wheat, Triticum aestvum (Linn.) were tested under laboratory trials for their relative food preference to Rhizopertha Dominica Fabr. The data revealed significant differences among various wheat varieties for oviposition of R. dominica. Fecundity was highest (121.33 eggs) on TL 174 and lowest on K 65 (30.33 eggs) and HI 774 (27.33 eggs) respectively. The second in order to preference for oviposition having 73.33 eggs was HI 774 followed by UPT 72294 and HD1982 in which 67.33 and 54.00 eggs have been laid respectively. K 65 and HI 774 having 30.33 and 27.33 eggs are comparatively less preferred for egg laying. Among the food preference the most preferred variety for the larvae was UPT 72294, and least preferred varieties was HI 7747.

In this article we are providing a theoretical background for understanding different types of hepatotoxicities induced by drugs. Drug induced hepatotoxicity a potential complication of nearly every medication that is prescribed, because the liver is central to the metabolic disposition of virtually all drugs and foreign substances. Although drugs are metabolised without injury to the liver, many fatal and near fatal drug reactions occur each year. More than 900 drugs have been implicated in causing liver injury and it is the most common reason for a drug to be withdrawn from the market.

Traditionally, latex containing plant existence have been viewed as the economical and health promotional entity from natural origin. Preliminary chemical investigations are based on protein or peptide content; along with many other bioactive smaller molecules targeting the health promotion by the management of enlisted disorders in this manuscript. It has also been observed different important metabolites such as, terpenoids, cardenolides, alkaloids having prominent antibacterial, antifungal, anthelmintic, insect repellent and cytotoxic activities. Latexes include distinct phytocomponents that are dissimilar to those involved in their bearing plants. Surveying the viability of plant latex from kind of bioactive chemical resource, this review article covers the chemical depiction of plant latexes for the health benefits of mankind. Subsequently, the recounted persona of various scientific research on latex from different plant origins encouraged the review to explore more about the plant latexes by highlighting their pharmacological benefits for health management.
