mixed broad leaved, Acacia catechu, scrub and grassland
and eight different planted tree species viz., Quercus
leucotrichophora, P. roxburghii, Acacia catechu, Acacia
mollissima, Albizia procera, Alnus nitida, Eucalyptus
tereticornis and Ulmus villosa were studied for carbon
sequestration and soil properties. In natural forest,
maximum and minimum biomass was produced in P.
roxburghii (214.90 t ha-1) and grasslands (10.87 t ha-1),
respectively. Maximum carbon sequestration was in P.
roxburghii (107.5 2.43 tha-1) and minimum in grassland
(5.44 t ha-1). In natural forest, detritus carbon sequestration
varied from 0.49 t ha-1 in grassland to 12.24 t ha-1 in mixed
broad leaved. Soil carbon sequestration ranged from
156.64 t ha-1 in grassland to 238.53 t ha-1 in natural forest

Synthesis, Characterization and In Vitro Anticancer Activity of C-5 Curcumin Analogues with Potential to Inhibit TNF-α-Induced NF-ÎșB Activation
In a search of new compounds active against cancer, synthesis of a series of C-5 curcumin analogues was carried out. The new compounds demonstrated good cytotoxicity against chronic myeloid leukemia (KBM5) and colon cancer (HCT116) cell lines. Further, these compounds were found to have better potential to inhibit TNF-α-induced NF-ÎșB activation in comparison to curcumin, which show their potential to act as anti-inflammatory agents. Some compounds were found to show higher cytotoxicity against cancer cell lines in comparison to curcumin used as standard
