Saline-alkali soil has become significant problem for global agriculture and food security as these soils have poor physicochemical conditions reduce crop production by causing a wide range of physiological biochemical changes in plants. More than 800 million hectares (Mha) land throughout the world affected saline-alkali soil, which accounts 6% total area about 62 Mha or 20% world's irrigated is soil. Numerous studies on been conducted years an attempt to plant productivity losses....

Grape seeds accumulate in huge quantities as byproduct during wine production and are therefore a cheap source for pharmacologically active agents. However, studies prove poor antibacterial activity, results of analyses sometimes contradictory. The aim this study was, thus, to determine the activity grape seed extracts with special focus on chromatographic characterization fractions. In course these investigations, extraction protocols were optimized so that microwave-assisted (MAE)...

Bud aqueous extract Allium sativum L. used as a reducing stabilizing agent SeNPs followed by optical morphological characterization using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier-transform infrared, energy dispersive X-ray analysis. Various concentrations (10, 20,...

Arachis hypogaea is the most significant oilseed nutritious legume crop in agricultural trade across world. It recognized as a valued for its contributions to nourishing food, cooking oil, and meeting protein needs of people who are unable afford animal protein. Currently, production, marketability, consumption hindered because Aspergillus species infection that consequently contaminates kernels with aflatoxins. Regarding health concerns, humans animals affected by acute chronic aflatoxin...

Components of green tea (Camellia sinensis) have been considerable interest in recent years because their potential utility as pharmaceutical agents, particularly for antioxidant and anticarcinogenic activity. Responding to the increasing scientific validation numerous health benefits tea, a comprehensive approach was adopted carry out analysis quality assessment flavonoids samples different origins. For this purpose, extraction, separation, mass spectrometric parameters were optimized....

Abstract This study was carried out to analyze the effects of biogenic silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) on physiological, biochemical, and enzymatic attributes rice plants against Aspergillus flavus . The plant-based AgNPs were synthesized by using aqueous extract Moringa oleifera leaves. characterization accomplished through UV-visible spectrophotometry, SEM, energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, which confirmed that are crystalline less than 100 nm in size. exogenous applications different...

Due to rapidly changing environmental conditions, virulent pathogens have arisen continuously that invades the crops and badly affects their yield quality of cash which results in economic losses. To overcome prevalent infection fungal pathogens, there is an utmost need develop alternative techniques avoid conventional agriculture practices. The use various chemical fungicides not environmentally sustainable solution diseases because it produces contamination dangerous for human health....

The transformative effect of nanotechnology is revolutionizing medicine by introducing new therapeutic approaches. This study explores the utilization aqueous extract from mushroom (Cortinarius sp.) used as a reducing agent to prepare zinc oxide myco-nanoparticles (ZnO-MNPs) in an eco-friendly manner. synthesis ZnO-MNPs has been confirmed various characterization studies, including UV-vis spectroscopy, which revealed absorption peak at 378 nm; X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, wurtzite...

The significant rise in the number of diabetic patients worldwide, as well development new insulin delivery techniques such inhalation or oral administration which require higher dosages, are expected to increase demand for recombinant insulin. Current manufacturing technologies will be unable fulfill rising inexpensive due their production capacity limitations and high costs. Production therapeutic requires a suitable host organism with adequate post-translational modification refolding...

Abstract Introduction – Quality control in the pharmaceutical and phytopharmaceutical industries requires fast reliable methods for analysis of raw materials final products. Objective This study evaluates different analytical approaches order to recognise most suitable technique carbohydrates herbal drug preparations.

Abstract Green nano-chemistry is an advanced research route covering eco-friendly fabrication approaches for synthesizing bimetallic nanocomposites (NCs) to enhance their therapeutic properties. The current study aims phytofabrication, characterization, and bio-potential evaluation of novel selenium–iron (Se–Fe) NCs by utilizing garlic extract. morphological physicochemical features Se–Fe were evaluated UV–visible spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray, Fourier...

Background. Solanum melongena is a medicinally important vegetable crop that belongs to the family Solanaceae, which cultivated worldwide. Methodology. In present study, 22 eggplant varieties from different ecogeographical regions were evaluated for nine quantitative and twenty-two qualitative morphological characters. A significant divergence was observed in all characters wide regional variations plant characteristics, flower, fruit characteristics. Principle component analysis (PCA)...

Background. DNA barcoding is a useful technique for the identification, conservation, and diversity estimation at species level in plants. The current research work was carried out to characterize selected Fragaria from northern Pakistan using barcode markers. Methodology. Initially, efficacy of eight markers analyzed based on amplification sequencing genome species. resultant sequences were BLAST, MEGA 7.0, Bio Edit software. phylogenetic tree constructed by reference through...

The present study was designed to evaluate polarity-dependent extraction efficiency and pharmacological profiling of Polygonum glabrum Willd. Crude extracts leaves, roots, stems, seeds, prepared from solvents varying polarities, were subjected phytochemical, antioxidant, antibacterial, antifungal, antidiabetic, cytotoxicity assays. Maximum yield (20.0% w/w) observed in the case an acetone:methanol (AC:M) root extract. Distilled water:methanol (W:M) leaves extract showed maximum phenolic...

Background. Heavy metals in excessive levels are hazardous to ecosystems as they can bioaccumulate organisms, have toxic effects on biota, and even cause mortality most life forms. Methodology. The present study consists of two studies; initially, different concentrations copper were biosorbed by using 1 gm powder various biosorbents such orange peels (OP), pomegranate (POP), peanut (PP). Furthermore, the water was used irrigate soil when mung beans cultivated. growth parameters plants...
