“…This study was followed by Vittal and Krishnamoorty at Madras (Adhikari et al 2004). Deka (2013) using volumetric sampler reported aero-mycoflora over three different rice fields for two consecutive years in Kamrup district, Assam. She produced the fungal spore calendar of that region and also correlated the fungal spore concentrations with the meteorological parameters.…”

Rice is a major cereal crop and staple food for the people of India. Fungal spores in the atmosphere are considered to be one of the most potent bio-pollutants, which are pathogenic to rice crops having direct impact on our food security. The aim of the present study was to assess the concentration of airborne fungal spores over a paddy field in relation to meteorological parameters and disease severity with an objective to prepare an efficient forecasting system for most important fungal diseases. Volumetric aero-mycological survey was carried out by Burkard personal sampler and Andersen sampler that were operated for three consecutive kharif (rainy) seasons (2015-2017) at weekly intervals over a rice field in W est Bengal, India. The meteorological parameters during the investigation period were recorded at the nearest meteorological station. The concentrations of culturable and non-culturable spore types varied in different growth phases. The dominant genera trapped by Burkard sampler were Cladosporium sp. (9.97%), Memnoneilla sp (6.60%), Trichoconis sp (5.63%), Stemphyllium sp. (5.65%), smut spores (5.65%), Helminthosporium sp. (5.22%), Trichoderma viride (5.02%), Pyricularia sp. (4.75%). Among the 18 mould types recorded by Andersen sampler, Aspergillus niger (8.95 %) was the most dominant one, followed in the degree of prevalence by Aspergillus clavatus (6.98%), Penicillium claviformae (6.11%), Trichoderma lignorum (5.50%), Penicillium expansum (5.44%), Alternaria alternata (5.43%) and Fusarium oxysporium (4.33%). A statistical correlation was calculated among the fungal spore loads with the five meteorological parameters, which would be beneficial to predict the spore concentration with the respective meteorological parameters. The total spore count exhibited a negative correlation with maximum temperature, minimum temperature, relative humidity, rain fall and wind speed but positively correlated with age of the plant. The regression model based on the spore count and meteorological variables supplemented by host factors is found to be useful for prediction of rice diseases. Three major fungal diseases were considered with the concentration of the respective fungal pathogens. Relationship between the disease scales along with the growth phases were also recorded.

“…Since Assam is home to various aboriginal tribes and is part of the Indo-Burma hotspot variety, it has a lot of potential for ethnobotanical research. It has a diverse flora as well as a huge number of commercial and therapeutic plants that are an important element of the ethnic communities (7). One of such important indigenously used plant is IA which is commonly and locally known as "Kolmou" in Assamese.…”

Naturopathy has gained popularity in recent years for the treatment of various health diseases, due to the numerous adverse side effects of synthetic medications. Assam in North-Eastern part of India is a great treasure of bio-resources, particularly for plant diversity and animal diversity, and has become a source of hundreds of medicinal herbs. Different tribal and non-tribal inhabitants of this area have knowledge about using of various plants as well as their products to heal a variety of health illnesses. Among these, Ipomoea aquatica Forssk is widely used among the Lower Assam ethnic groups. A survey study was conducted to validate the traditional therapeutic uses of Ipomoea aquatica Forssk in treating various health related disorders among the native people of Lower Assam. Further, an investigation in the laboratory was performed to examine the phytochemical components and the antioxidant activity of Ipomoea aquatica Forssk using standard methods. As the methanolic extract showed the best results, a GC-MS analysis was also performed in attempt to identify the bioactive component of the methanolic extract. This confirms their traditional use as food and medicinal.

Objectives:The Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG) plays an important role in male infertility. Methods: The present research computationally emphases to SHBG protein with 47 natural phytocompounds using docking studies. Results: From the results showed the interactions between 1KDM protein with 47 phytocompounds, a natural compound chlorogenic acid showed the best glide docking XP score -7.255 kcal/mol and the binding energy value of -47.869 kcal/ mol. Based on the result, the chlorogenic acid and target were run on MD simulations stable at 10 ns. Conclusion: Finally, this study concludes the chlorogenic acid is a suitable drug candidate for infertility.
