Abstract :   This study evaluated callus induction and subsequent shoot formation from explants of Juniperus excelsa collected from Ziarat, Balochistan. Explants (young stem segments) were established on Murashige & Skoog (MS) basal medium enhanced with varying doses of NAA (Naphthalene Acetic Acid) and BAP (6-benzylaminopurine). Callus induction and fresh weight were recorded at 4 […]

Abstract   Rangelands in northern Balochistan supply essential forage and ecosystem services to agro-pastoral communities but are facing degradation from overgrazing, fuelwood collection and land-use change. This study presents a structured assessment framework for vegetation composition, cover and degradation indicators across representative sites in the Muslim Bagh–Killa Saifullah area and proposes site-appropriate improvement strategies. Using

Abstract   Heliotropium dasycarpum Ledeb. (Boraginaceae) is a perennial subshrub distributed in Iran, Central Asia and Pakistan and used in traditional medicine for various ailments. This study reports comprehensive biological and pharmacological screening of methanolic extract and polarity-based fractions (n-hexane, ethyl acetate, aqueous) of H. dasycarpum. Phytochemical profiling, antimicrobial assays (MIC), antioxidant activity (DPPH IC50),

Abstract   In the periurban farming regions of Quetta, Pakistan, stone crushing activities are producing more airborne particulate matter and settled dust. This research looked at two popular fruit trees Punica granatum (pomegranate) and Prunus armeniaca (apricot) and their physiological state as well as yield depending on distance to stone-crushing units. Trees were sampled at four distances from active crushing units (50 m, 200 m, 500 m and 2000 m control). Measured variables included yield per
