Amongst serious biotic factors deteriorating crop yield, the most destructive pathogen of rice is
Azo dyes are one of the largest classes synthetic being used in textile industries. It has been reported that 15-50% these find their way into wastewater is often for irrigation purpose developing countries. The effect azo contamination on soil nitrogen (N) studied previously. However, how does dye affect carbon (C) cycling unknown. Therefore, we assessed (Reactive Black 5, 30 mg kg-1 dry soil), bacteria decolorize this and + presence or absence maize leaf litter respiration, inorganic N...
Cadmium (Cd) accumulation is an emerging environmental hazard and has detrimental effects on plant growth development. Salicylic acid (SA) a well-known regulator that can initiate various molecular pathways to ameliorate Cd toxicity. The experiment was executed scrutinize the mediatory role of SA accelerate defensive mechanism mung bean in response stress. Mung plants were exposed 0, 5, 10 15 mg kg-1 soil. Exogenous application 10-6 10-3 M added prior flowering. Results exhibited stress...
Abstract Given the rapidly increasing use of metal oxide nanoparticles in agriculture as well their inadvertent addition through sewage sludge application to soils, it is imperative assess possible toxic effects on soil functions that are vital for healthy crop production. In this regard, we designed a lab study investigate potential toxicity one most produced nanoparticles, i.e. zinc (nZnO), calcareous soil. Microcosms 80 g dry-equivalent fresh soils were incubated mason jars 64 days, after...
Water scarcity due to overuse and growing water pollution has led the need for upgrading of conventional methods wastewater treatment. The biological synthesis zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) their photocatalytic capacity degrade contaminants offer a promising environment-friendly approach municipal This technique is advantageous its cost-effectiveness, sustainability, reduction in toxic residual substances. In this study, microbial-synthesized ZnO-NPs were used treatment wastewater....
In many underdeveloped countries, textile industries discharge their effluents without any treatment. The untreated wastewater consists of both azo dyes and heavy metals which not only change the physicochemical biological properties soil water but also affect human health. recent years, copper-based nanomaterials have attained worldwide attention because unique potential for decolorization present study demonstrates bacterial synthesis copper nanoparticles (Cu-NPs) using Bacillus flexus...
Hyperhidrosis, a condition of excessive sweat generation, is believed to be genetic, but it yet not known well whether primary hyperhidrosis regulated by single gene or multiple genes. The prospective genes that regulate are ITPR2, TMEM16A, FOXA1 and AQP5. Of these four genes, ITPR2 plays significant role in hyperhidrosis; thus the current research sequence, analysis this was carried out. Following inclusion exclusion criteria, whole blood samples were taken from patients inflicted with two...
Maize (Zea mays L.), an important crop used for animal feed and human consumption, is currently threatened by water shortage. Recently, the usage of nanomaterials has attracted worldwide attention due to their applications in various fields. This research aimed evaluate comparative efficacy different metal oxide nanoparticles mitigating drought stress maize. Iron oxide, manganese copper were biosynthesized from leaf extract Conocarpus erectus L. characterized via UV-Vis, XRD, FTIR, SEM. The...
Background Azo dyes are recalcitrant organic pollutants present in textile industry effluents. Conventional treatment methods to remove them come with a range of disadvantages. Nanoparticles and their nanocomposites offer more efficient, less expensive easy handle wastewater alternative. Methods In this study, nanoparticles nickel oxide (NiO-NPs), copper (CuO-NPs) nanocomposite (NiO/CuO-NC) were synthesized using co-precipitation method. The functional groups on the surface nanomaterials...
Abstract Background A pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the phytotoxic thresholds of zinc oxide (ZnO NPs), iron (FeO copper (Cu and silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) on cotton. All were biosynthesized from Conocarpus erectus L. leaf extract. They characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transmission infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Five concentrations (0, 25, 50, 75, 100 ppm) all foliar applied thrice over duration cotton growth. seeds sown in 5...
Lead (Pb)-polluted soils pose a serious threat to human health, particularly by transmitting this heavy metal the food chain via crops grown on them. The application of novel amendments in Pb-polluted can significantly reduce problem. In research, we report effects various organic and inorganic i.e., bentonite (BN), biochar (BR), lignin (LN), magnesium potassium phosphate cement (CM) iron hydroxyl (FeHP), Pb bioavailability soil, upon distribution shoots, roots, grain, translocation factor...
