Manganese (Mn) is an essential element for plants which intervenes mainly in photosynthesis. In this study we establish that manganese nanoparticles (MnNP) work as a better micronutrient than commercially available salt, MnSO4 (MS) at recommended doses on leguminous plant mung bean (Vigna radiata) under laboratory condition. At higher it does not impart toxicity to the unlike MS. MnNP-treated chloroplasts show greater photophosphorylation, oxygen evolution with respect control and MS-treated...
Cancer cell specific targeted delivery (TDD) by porous nanocarrier is on a high role. Here in simple route for the synthesis of ZnO nanorods (ZnO) has been demonstrated. expressed very surface area 305.14 m2 g−1 (SBET) and uniformly distributed pores 5 nm. In continuation fabricated with 3-aminophosphonic acid followed folic to yield folate conjugated nanorod (ZnO-FA). High area, its make suitable drug loading (88%) anticancer doxorubicin (DOX). A pH triggered release was observed minimum...
Nanotechnology involves understanding and manipulating materials normally in the size range of 1 to 100 nm, where particles show completely novel physico-chemical properties from their bulk counterpart. In last two decades a number precisely engineered nanomaterials have been developed for diagnostic therapeutic applications. For applications, nanoparticles allow detection at molecular scale. Some fluorescent nanohybrids can serve dual purpose destruction pathogenic microbes. The specificity...
Hexavalent chromium is classified as a human carcinogen and its removal crucial from wastewater. A comparative study was done to remove Cr (VI) an aqueous solution by synthesized nanoparticles such chitin, chitosan, zinc oxide (at various temperatures 500 °C, 600 °C 700 °C), ZnO-chitosan composite. Among all the materials maximum uptake of observed in nano-biocomposite (ZnO-CS NC). The adsorption variables like initial concentration, adsorbent dosage, time, pH were examined. batch studies...
Wastewater remediation is of paramount importance for the water-stressed modern civilization from perspective sustainable development and management limited freshwater resources. Contaminants such as heavy metal metalloid ions, toxic dyes, pathogenic microbes present in aquatic ecosystem have adverse effects not only on environment but also human health. Traditional wastewater processes are costly, energy-consuming, less efficiency removing pollutants wastewater. Multi-phasic nanomaterials...
Pest management researchers currently reappraise the use of inert dust-based insecticides because growing problem environmental pollution and increasing insect resistance associated with conventional insecticides. Diatomaceous earth, which is amorphous micron-sized silica derived from fossilized phytoplankton, has become popular as an alternative insecticidal agent in European countries. In this investigation efficacy lipophilic nanoparticle was examined on red flour beetle (Tribolium...
High volume uses of conventional pesticides end up contaminating ground water and soil with highly toxic pesticide residues. Nano‐pesticides nano‐encapsulated are expected to reduce the application slow down fast release kinetics. Nature inspired Diatomaceous Earth (DE) were used design fabricate a variety 15–50 nm size range hydrophilic, hydrophobic lipophilic SiO2, ZnO, TiO2 (anatase rutile) Al2O3 (α γ) nanoparticles (Nanocides). Mustard aphid (Lipaphis pseudobrassicae) causes devastations...
Abstract Aims In this study, the antifungal efficacy and phytotoxicity of silica coated porous zinc oxide nanoparticle (SZNP) were analyzed as nanocomposite was observed to be a suitable platform for slow release fungicides has promise bring down dosage other agrochemicals well. Methods results Loading kinetics tricyclazole, potent fungicide, by measuring surface area (SBET) using Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) isotherm liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), respectively....
Relatively little is known regarding the interaction of nanoscale objects with dynamic complex biological systems. Microarray-based toxicogenomics studies may serve as a suitable technique to explore genome wide effects nanoparticles on any organism through single experiment. The influence nanoporous aluminosilicate (NP), citrate-capped gold NP, lipophilic silica BSA-capped silver and zinc oxide NP were studied 75 cell cycle-related genes adult Drosophila melanogaster. Microarray experiments...
