Over the last couple of decades, introduction living systems to material science for synthesis functional materials from biological resources is receiving immense consideration. This also in accordance with need green and sustainable development new materials. For example, growing concerns degradation synthetic plastics are shifting direction materials-related research use polymeric acquired renewable resources. fungal mycelium-based produced by vegetative part mushroom-forming fungi on...
Bacterial cellulose (BC) has been extensively explored as biomaterial for various biomedical applications owing to its non-toxic nature and unique structural morphology impressive physico-chemical mechanical properties. However, high production cost lack of antimicrobial activity have restricted large-scale therapeutic applications. Therefore, the current study is aimed devise a strategy low-cost BC develop composite with bioactive materials bless it activity. Herein, 5 mm thick reticulated...
Chitosan is obtained from chitin, which abundantly found in crustaceans and through various methods. The demineralization, deproteinization, discoloration, deacetylation of chitin produce chitosan consisting D-glucosamine N-acetyl units that are linked β-(1,4)-glycosidic linkages. has gained significant attention the biomedical field due to its unique properties such as abundance, renewability, non-toxic nature, antimicrobial activity, biodegradability, polyfunctionality. One key why it been...
Soybean is an important oilseed crop and major dietary protein resource, yet the molecular processes regulatory mechanisms involved in biosynthesis of seed storage substances are not fully understood. The B3 domain transcription factor LEC2 essentially regulates embryo development maturation other plants, but functionally characterized soybean. Here, we characterize function a soybean homolog, GmLEC2a, regulating carbohydrate catabolism, triacylglycerol (TAG) biosynthesis, development....
The unique properties and advantages of edible films over conventional food packaging have led the way to their extensive exploration in recent years. Moreover, incorporation bioactive components during production has further enhanced intrinsic features materials. This study was aimed develop comprising yeast incorporated into bacterial cellulose (BC) conjunction with carboxymethyl (CMC) glycerol (Gly) extend shelf life packaged First, biomass BC hydrogels were produced by Meyerozyma...
This study is aimed to develop bacterial cellulose (BC)-based biocompatible, biodegradable, bioactive, and non-toxic food packaging material.The preparation of BC/Ag nanocomposite was achieved through the reduction silver nitrate with sodium chloride.Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses confirmed purity BC development nanocomposite.SEM analysis showed uniform distribution Ag nanoparticles in matrix, which further...
Bacterial cellulose (BC), a biopolymer produced by acetic acid bacteria, has been receiving immense consideration over the past couple of decades owing to its unique properties and potential for broad-spectrum applications in various fields.However, large-scale production BC commercial use BC-based products have limited high cost, mainly caused expensive medium components.Therefore, one important aspects research is exploration alternative low-cost media.To this end, many researchers...
Diacylglycerol acyltransferases (DGATs) play a key role in plant triacylglycerol (TAG) biosynthesis. Two type 1 and 2 DGATs from soybean were characterized for their functions TAG biosynthesis physiological roles. GmDGAT1A is highly expressed seeds while GmDGAT2D mainly flower tissues. They showed different expression patterns response to biotic abiotic stresses. was up-regulated by cold heat stress ABA signaling, repressed insect biting jasmonate, whereas show fewer responses. Both...
The innate structural and functional properties of bacterial cellulose (BC) have been greatly improved by developing its composites with other materials for applications in different fields. In the present study, BC- Aloe vera (BCA) gel composite high tensile strength was ex situ developed characterized potential environmental medical FE-SEM micrographs showed impregnation into fibril network BC. dry weight analysis addition 40 wt.% contents BC matrix. resulted a 3-fold increase mechanical...
Alien plant invasion and residual soil microplastics (MPs) are growing threats to agricultural crop production. This study determined the adverse effects of Canadian goldenrod (Solidago canadensis L.) MPs on rice growth development. The biomass, phenological indices, photosynthetic parameters, antioxidant enzyme activities were measured 50th 80th day post-plantation. Biomass phenotypic results indicated more harmful combination S. compared or alone. Moreover, interaction effect markedly...
The advent of modern technologies has inspired biotechnologists to shift towards in vitro approaches that utilize cell-free environments for the generation biochemicals and biomaterials.
This review delves into the mesmerizing technology of nano-agrochemicals, specifically pesticides and herbicides, their potential to aid in achievement UN SDG 17, which aims reduce hunger poverty globally. The global market for conventional herbicides is expected reach USD 82.9 billion by 2027, growing 2.7% annually, with North America, Europe, Asia–Pacific region being biggest markets. However, extensive use chemical has proven adverse effects on human health as well ecosystem. Therefore,...
