Present work was a study of causal events. The statistical universe was composed of children of martyred people in Tehran. A total of 97 subjects were selected. The samples were divided into two groups: the children who were under 7 years old and who were 7-14 years old at their fathers’ martyrdom time. Personality patterns of both groups were compared by Millon Clinical multi-axial inventory (MCMI-III). ANOVA test was used for data analysis. The results indicated insignificant difference between child’s age in father’s martyrdom time and extent of severe personality pathology among children of martyred people. Furthermore, there was no significant relationship between father’s martyrdom time and clinical syndromes among children of martyred people. Moreover, children of martyred people had no difference in terms of clinical personality patterns. In contrast, according to estimated value of F (F=9.242) which was significant at =0.003, there existed a significant difference between obsessive personality disorder and child’s age at father’s martyrdom time. The findings of present work can provide authorities of Martyr foundation, treatment centers and corresponding organizations with suitable solutions to resolve psychological problems related to missing one of the parents. <#LINE#> @ @ Calhoun P.S., Beckham J.C. and Bosworth H.B., Caregiver Burden and Psychological Distress in Partners of Veterans with Chronic Posttraumatic Stress Disorder,Journal of Traumatic Stress,15(3), 205–212 (2002) @No $ @ @ Karimipoor Y. and Kamran H., Statistical Analysis of Iran-Iraq War Martyrs [Persian], Tehran: Geographical Research of Iran, (2001) @No $ @ @ Green L.B. and Parker H.J., Parental Influence upon Adolescents Occupational Choice, Journal of Counseling Psychology, 12, 28-39 (1999) @No $ @ @ 5martyred people versus those of children of non-martyred people [Persian], Ahwaz:  Martyrs Foundation of Islamic Revolution of Iran, (2002) @No $ @ @ Goodarzi A., An assessment of the relationship between religiosity tendencies and individual-social characteristics of children of martyred people in high-schools of Hamedan province [Persian], Hamedan: General Office of Research, (2003) @No $ @ @ Ansari M.R., Assessment and Comparison of social growth of male and female students among both children of martyred people versus those of non-martyred people, Submitted to University of Tehran, Tehran, Iran, (2001) @No $ @ @ Shajari M., Comparative assessment of social growth among children of martyred people versus those of non-martyred people in Bijar city, Submitted to Qazvin University, Qazvin, Iran, (2003) @No $ @ @ Eliasi M.H., Psychological impacts of father’s absence on children [Persian], Mesbah Magazine, (2005) @No $ @ @ Green L.B. and Parker H.J., Parental Influence upon Adolescents Occupational Choice, Journal of Counseling Psychology,12, 28-39 (1999) @No $ @ @ Millon T., Davis R.D. and Millon C., MCMI-III manual,nd edition, Minneapolis, MN: National Computer Systems (1997) @No $ @ @ Aluja A., Cuevas L., Garc´a L.F. and Garc´a O., Zuckerman’s personality model predicts MCMI-III personality disorders,Personality and Individual Differences,42(7), 1311–1321 (2007) @No $ @ @ Rezaeian H., An investigation on behavioral disorders in children of martyred people, physical and mental injuries due to Iran-Iraq war [Persian], Tehran: Golban Publications (2000) @No $ @ @ Keramati H., Moradi A.R. and Kaveh M., An assessment and comparison on family functioning and psychological aspects among children of martyred people [Persian], 11,56-75 (2005) @No $ @ @ Sarason I.G., Abnormal Psychology: the problems of maladaptive behavior, 11th Edition.

Specimen morphological characters were described and a dichotomous key constructed. Notably, results showed that characters of areolation, secondary vein category, tertiary vein angle variability and quaternary veins proved the most useful. This demonstrates that leaf architecture is an important tool in distinguishing infraspecific taxa just as other parameters used by taxonomists to recognize differences among plants. It is a good tool for plant identification especially in the case where flowers and fruits are not available. There is a need to conserve the genus Mussaenda Linn. due to its ornamental qualities and the over exploitation it is faced with from individuals for home yard beauties. <#LINE#> @ @ Swaminathan C., Vijendra Rao R. and Shashikala S., Preliminary Evaluation of Variations in Anatomical Properties of Melia dubia Cav.

These compounds havean important rolein the development of vegetation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of rhizobacteria producing indole in the development of Capsicum annuum var. jalapeño M. The bacterial strains were isolated from Capsicum sp.and their capacity to produce indole was determined in vitro. Variations in height, diameter of the stem, fruiting and plant appearance,were determined. The bacteria were identified as enterobacter ludwigii, Serratia quinivorans, Lysinibacillus sphaericus, Aeromonas media and pseudomonas poae. The individual application of these bacteria showed no significant difference in any of the variables evaluated. The plants treated with a mixture of these six bacteria did increase the number of fruits produced by C. annuum var. jalapeño M. demonstrating the existence of a synergic effect between the strains (F-7, 47 = 11.144, p = 0.035). <#LINE#> @ @ Dursun A., Ekinci M. and Dönmez M.

Recently, human exposure to potentially pathogenic fungi is threatening the health of people. Keratinophilic fungi in the soil are diverse group that depend on different factors, such as vertebrates and human activity. These fungi plays vital task in decomposing keratinous debris of man and animals in nature. In order to study the prevalence of keratinophilic fungi present in soil of Ujjain (holy city), 128 soil samples were collected. These samples were screened using hair baiting techniques for isolation. Out of total 128 samples, 112 (87.50%) were positive for growth of keratinophilic fungi. Present results show the occurrence of keratinophilic fungi in soils of different sites in Ujjain and may have a significant role in keratin degradation in the environment. <#LINE#> @ @ Khanam S.J.P. and Jain P.C., Isolation of keratin degrading fungi from soil of Damoh, India, Asian J.

It was found to be composed of discrete follicular structures dispersed mainly in the sub pharyngeal region around the ventral aorta.The follicles were found to be composed of single layered epithelial cells with agranular eosinophilic colloids in their central lumen. The secretary activity of the follicular cells was found to be in accord with the seasonal phasic changes of the male reproductive cycle. The maximum secretary activity of the thyroid was studied during the spawning phase while the minimum activity of the follicles was traced during the post-spawning and resting phases. So, it was established that the thyroidal secretional activity corresponds to the seasonal testicular cycle of Mystus vittatus and hence, the breeding behaviour of male is controlled by the thyroid gland. <#LINE#> @ @ Power D.M; Llewellyn, L; Faustino M; Nowell M.

This study was designed to evaluate the ability of vitamins A, C, E, and its combinations to inhibit fungal growth with corresponding colonial morphology changes. This was done by adding a specific concentration of the different vitamins to a culture media and a single point inoculation was employed. It was then incubated for seven (7) days after which growth inhibition, total dry weights, and radial growth were obtained. Results of showed that both growth and mycelia biomass of A.flavus were affected by the vitamins used and its combinations. Among all the vitamins used, at higher concentrations, vitamin C (ascorbate) has complete inhibitory effects to the growth. Decreasing concentrations of thse vitamins in the medium led to an increasing amount of fungal growth as well as increasing fungal biomass and radial growth rates. It was observed that vitamin A, C, and E inhibit fungal growth in a similar way though its combinations exhibited lesser inhibitory effects. In addition, significant concentration-dependent inhibition of growth, mycelia biomass and radial growth rate was evident for selected vitamins. Thus, vitamins A, C, and E can be used to control fungal growth in important crops and processed agricultural products.   <#LINE#> @ @ Fakhoury A.M. and Woloshuk C.P., Inhibition of growth of Aspergellus flavus and fungal -Amylase by a Lectin-like protein from Lablap purpureus, Phytopathology,8, 955-961 (2001) @No $ @ @ European Food Safety Authority, Opinion of the Scientific Panel on Contaminants in the Food Chain on a request from the European Commission related to the potential increase of consumer health risk by a possible of the existing maximum levels for aflatoxins in almonds, hazelnuts and pistachios and derived products, The EFSA Journal,446, 1-127 (2007) @No $ @ @ Onilude A.A., Fagade O.E., Bello M.M. and Fadahunsi I.F., Inhibition of aflatoxin-producing aspergilla by lactic acid bacteria isolates from indigenously fermented cereal gruels, Biotechnology,, 1404-1408 (2005) @No $ @ @ Coulumbe R.A., Aflatoxin, In: Sharma RP and SALUNKHE DK (Eds), Mycotoxins and Phytoalexins, London: CRC Press, 103-144 (1991) @No $ @ @  Lane K, Minimizing aflatoxin on tobacco as a value-added American crop, retrieved from http://govinfo.library.unt.edu/tobacco/disc/disc18.htm., (1999) @No $ @ @ Chipley J.R. and Uraih N., Inhibition of Aspergillus growth and aflatoxin release by derivatives of benzoic acid, Appl.Environ.

For the present study, a representative wetland located in Cachar district of Assam, North East India was selected. Water quality parameters such as water temperature, dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen demand, pH, free carbon dioxide, and nutrients like nitrate-N and phosphate-P were analyzed. Besides, qualitative and quantitative estimation of both phyto- and zooplankton communities in the rice fields were also done. A total of 57 genera of phytoplankton belonging to 8 classes viz., Bacillariophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Chrysophyceae, Cyanophyceae, Dinophyceae, Euglenophyceae, Xanthophyceae and Zygnemophyceae besides 19 genera of zooplankton belonging to 3 major groups viz. Cladocera, Copepoda and Rotifera were observed in the study area. The present study revealed that therice fields located in relatively low lying areas of the wetland have abundant nutrient rich water with greater abundance of both phyto- and zooplankton. Most of the water properties in the low lying areas of the wetland were comparable with the relevant standards for freshwater fishery. The study highlights the scope for utilization of the planktonic communities as live feed for fish by introducing the practice of concurrent rice-fish culture in low lying areas of wetlands. This is likely to increase the total production per unit area of wetland rice fields through production of not only the particular rice variety but also additional production of fish. Through this practice the marginal farmers in wetlands will be benefited by greater per capita fish protein availability which they can harvest from their rice fields or can sell the surplus fish to local markets. All these are likely to improve their health, income and socio-economic status.  <#LINE#> @ @ Fernando C.H., Rice field ecology and fish culture- an overview, Hydrobiologia, 259(2), 91-113 (1993) @No $ @ @ Halwart, M. and Gupta, M.V., Culture of fish in rice fields.

The present work  was conducted to asses antibacterial activity of selected ethnomedicinal plant species used traditionally for pneumonia treatment in Assam. Eighty plant extracts (prepared with solvents with increasing polarity) from 20 plants belonging to 17 families were screened for their antibacterial activity using disc diffusion method against two Gram positive (Staphylococcus aureus [MTCC96] , Streptococcus pneumoniae  [MTCC655]) and two Gram negative ( E.coli [MTCC443] and Pseudomonas aeruginosa [MTCC424]) bacteria. Out of the twenty plants screened fourteen plants showed varying degree of antibacterial activity against at least one human pathogen tested. Chloroform extract of Mucuna pruriens  and petroleum ether extract of Xanthium strumanium showed strong antibacterial activity with higher zone of inhibition than the control viz. chloramphenicol against S. pneumoniae (15.33mm) and S. aureus (15mm) respectively. The present study provides scientific evidence for the use of majority of the studied medicinal plants including Mucuna pruriens and Xanthium strumanium in traditional medicine and these could serve a potential source of alternative antibacterial drugs in future.  <#LINE#> @ @ Mandell L.A., Wunderink R.G., Anzueto A., Bartlett J.

In Mexico creates major currencies for the country as it generates a large economic value and high demand for labor. However, the lack of knowledge on the management of phytopathogens, has placed to the tomato as one of the crops that presents more risk of contamination by excessive use of agrochemicals to control fungal diseases mainly. The objective of this research was to conduct an agroecological tomato crop management for soil-borne diseases, using organic fertilizers and an antagonist under greenhouse conditions trough a random block design with five replications and nine treatments. The variables evaluated were stem diameter, plant height, leaf number, incidence of soil-borne disease, and yield. At 90 days, the best values were: for diameter (FC=1.35 cm), for height (FCTR =216.8 cm) and number of leaves (FC=23.3), occurring in all cases significant difference (p  0.05) on the group control (TE). The disease incidence data exhibited statistically significant difference (p  0.05) between treatments, the lowest values for soil-borne disease incidence were (FCTR=1.25%), yield (FC=93.08 ton/ ha) exceeded statistically (p  0.05) at the treatments (TE =60.44 ton/ ha) and (LOFC =70.22 ton/ ha). Coconut fiber organic manure, presented the best results in varying yield and development of the tomato crop, being inoculated with Trichoderma, reduces the incidence of soil-borne disease, showing an alternative agroecological management of pathogens originating in soil. <#LINE#> @ @ Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, FAO-FAOSTAT, Trade, Accessed January 31, http:// faostat.fao.org/site/342/default.aspx, (2012) @No $ @ @ SIAP-SAGARPA, Atlas agroalimentario 2013, www.siap.gob.mx.

The Department of Science and Technology in the Philippines identifies this area as a priority for research. Acmella grandiflora of Asteraceae family is known to contain important biocomponents such as spilanthol, acmellonate, tannins, flavonoids, and phenolic compounds. This plant is traditionally used to relieve toothache and also as stomachic, stimulant, and antidiarrheal. This research was done to evaluate the potential cytotoxic activity of Acmella grandiflora using the Brine Shrimp lethality Test (BSLT). The effectivity of the ethanol extract was assessed by comparing it with the decoction and 50:50 ethanol-water mixture extract. The results showed that the extraction by ethanol is the best method of extraction. The ethanol extract (WE) of the whole plant ha d an acute LC50 of 141.25g/mL and the ethanol extract (FE) of the flowers exhibited the highest chronic LC50 value at 28.84 g/mL. Results indicate that A. grandiflora possesses potential bioactive phytochemicals worthy of further investigation specifically on its anaesthetic/sedative effect. <#LINE#> @ @ Principe, Eduardo B. and Jose, Aurora S., Propagation Management of Herbal and Medicinal Plants, Research Information Series on Ecosystems,14(2), (2002) @No $ @ @ Philippine Council for Health Research and Development, Selection and Scientific Validation of Medicinal Plants for Primary Health Care, Manila, Philippines (1991) @No $ @ @ Jansen R.K., The systematics of Acmella (Asteraceae-Heliantheae), Syst.

Fungal endophytes were isolated from Phlogacanthus thyrsiflorus Nees collected from Imphal West, Manipur. Morphological and molecular identification was done for the potential isolate. Extract from fermentation broth of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides were checked  for antibacterial activity, antioxidant activity and total phenolic content. Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC25923), Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC29212), Escherichia coli (ATCC25922) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC27853) were used for testing antibacterial activity. The crude extract showed an effective antibacterial activity against S. aureus with a zone of inhibition of 13.33±1.52mm. The crude extract of an endophytic fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides was studied for total phenolic content and antioxidant activity. Free radical scavenging activityof the extract showed 90%. Total phenolic content is 18.3±0.36mg gallic acid/g of extract. This  report of antibacterial and antioxidant activity of endophytic fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides residing in Phlogacanthus thyrsiflorus Nees is presented for the first time in this work. The findings indicate that the metabolite of endophytic fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides is a potent source of bioactive compounds. Further study is needed for identification of the bioactive compounds. <#LINE#> @ @ Vaz A.B. Mota R.C. Bomfim M.R.
