The accumulation of total soluble and cell wall-bound phenolics proteins in Zea mays plants exposed to drought stress foliar spray salicylic acid (SA) at 10−4 mol/L 10−5 was investigated. Drought imposed the four-leaf stage for 10 days (30–35% field capacity). Dehydration maize leaves accompanied by both phenolics, reduction leaf relative water content (LRWC), shoot root growth attributes. Foliar spraying SA further augmented under stress. ameliorated adverse effects on LRWC, fresh weight,...

Abstract The present investigation was to determine the effect of nano-TiO2 (2 6 nm) and waste water on early seedling growth maize. suspensions either in deionized or autoclaved were applied at 100 mg/L, 50 mg/L 25 under vitro conditions. Analyses showed that it not suitable for irrigation purposes as had a higher content heavy metals (Fe, Mn, Zn, Cd, Cr Cu) which above permissible levels irrigation. concentration (100 mg/L) significantly inhibited seed germination, caused accumulation...

Abstract Background Organic mulches are widely used in crop production systems. Due to their benefits improving soil fertility, retention of moisture and weed control. Field experiments were conducted during wheat growing seasons 2018–2019 2019–2020 evaluate the effects Jatropha leaves mulch on growth varieties ‘Wadan-17’ (rainfed) ‘Pirsabaq-2013’ (irrigated) under well irrigated water stress conditions (non-irrigated maintaining 40% field capacity). was applied surface at 0, 1, 3 5 Mg ha −1...

The traditional antidiabetic plant Viscum album (V. album) was collected from the oak in wild at Maidan, Khyber District, of Pakistan, for assessment its potential and phytochemical profile. Lowering blood glucose level, antioxidant effect, lipids profile, liver function marker enzymes, kidney markers were evaluated extract glibenclamide treated groups, normal as well diabetic control groups. An elevated level (Cholesterol, TG, LDL), enzymes (ALT, AST, ALP), (bilirubin, creatinine, urea)...

Linseed is an important industrial crop cultivated for its edible seeds and fiber linen. Organic fertilizers have beneficial effects on soil properties quality of crops. Therefore, we conducted two field experiments during 2018–2019 2019–2020 to determine the effect organic fertility, yield linseed varieties Roshni, BL1 Chandni under low moisture conditions. We prepared from seed cake Eruca sativa, leaves Moringa oleifera chicken peat in various combinations by composting method. The...

In this study, a simple two step method is employed to sequentially synthesize bimetallic core/shell nanoparticles (NPs). the first step, pure mono Au and Ag NPs are prepared via 1064 nm pulsed laser ablations in liquid. second Au/Ag substrate immersed colloidal solution exposed nanosecond at wavelength using various energies ablation periods. The crystalline phase morphology of (Au/Ag, Ag/Au) examined by x-ray diffraction scanning electron microscopy, respectively. results showed that...

We provide experimental evidence that role models can galvanize prosocial actions amid global crises, exemplified by the COVID-19 pandemic. In a randomized control trial comparing models, cash incentives, and celebrity endorsements, only successfully mitigated vaccine reluctance ameliorated pandemic-induced educational setbacks. Monthly tracking of vaccination status was achieved via QR-code-verified certificates. Theory-of-mind behavioral data on mentalizing others shed light mechanism...
