Rapid industrial developments and rising population are mounting concerns, leading to increased greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions resultant climate change. Therefore, curb such drastic trends, it is necessary adopt develop a sustainable environment. Among the most effective ways lower GHG carbon capture. Absorption one of mature methods reducing CO2 due its high processing capacity, excellent adaptability, reliability. This study aims evaluate recent advancements in various capture techniques,...
Sorghum is one of the most drought tolerant crops but surprisingly, little known about mechanisms achieving this. We have compared physiological and biochemical responses to in two sorghum cultivars with contrasting tolerance. These closely related starkly water deficit. In less Samsorg 40, induced progressive loss photosynthesis. The more 17 maintained photosynthesis, transpiration chlorophyll content until extreme conditions. there was a highly specific down‐regulation selected proteins,...
A fourth agricultural revolution, termed agriculture 4.0, is gradually gaining ground around the globe. It encompasses application of smart technologies such as artificial intelligence, biotechnology, internet things (IoT), big data, and robotics to improve sustainability food production. To date, narratives 4.0 associated have generally focused on their in context higher-income countries (HICs). In contrast, this perspective, we critically assess place sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) new...
The accumulation of cadmium (Cd) in leaves reduces photosynthetic capacity by degrading pigments, reducing photosystem II activity, and producing reactive oxygen species (ROS). Though it was demonstrated that the application Methyl Jasmonate (MeJA) induces heavy metal (HM) stress tolerance plants, its role adjusting redox balance machinery is unclear. In this study, MeJA modulating (PSII) activity antioxidant defense system investigated to reduce toxic effects Cd on growth pea (Pisum sativum...
In Egypt's arid and semi-arid lands where the main olive production zone is located, evapotranspiration higher than rainfall during winter. Limited research has used nanomaterials, especially nano-silicon (nSi) to improve growth, development, productivity of drought-stressed fruit trees, amid global water scarcity problem. To assess role nSi on drought-sensitive 'Kalamata' tree biochemical physiological changes under drought conditions, a split-plot experiment was conducted in randomized...
The thermochemical conversion of biomass is a promising technology due to its cost-effectiveness and feedstock flexibility, with pyrolysis being particularly noteworthy method for diverse product range. Despite the potential pyrolysis, commercialization remains elusive, there growing need fully understand dynamics facilitate process scaling up. However, waste complex, time-consuming, capital-intensive. Machine Learning (ML) has emerged as possible means supporting accelerating research...
Abstract The demand for sustainable energy sources has increased owing to environmental concerns, such as climate change, rising and rapid industrialization. Biomass utilization bioenergy value‐added chemical production become essential creating a circular low‐carbon bioeconomy waste management techniques. This review focuses on thermochemical processes analyzes the trends of biomass in EU over last decade. It discusses current state‐of‐the‐art gasification, pyrolysis, advanced combustion...
Developing drought-tolerant cultivars is mainly restricted due to poor knowledge of the mechanism behind drought tolerance. In present work, available germplasm Vigna radiata (mung bean) was screened for tolerance using multiple agronomic and physiological parameters used selected one (NM-13-1) drought-sensitive (NM-54) cultivar further studies. Plant water status PSII activity were found be potential discriminating traits. Changes in PSI activity, accumulation proline, oxidative damage,...
Pharmaceuticals in wastewater are rapidly becoming new emerging pollutants, affecting humans and the aquatic ecosystem, can go undetected due to their microscopic nature. Adsorption proves be a promising technology for removal of pharmaceuticals from effluent owning its low cost, flexibility, renewability. Adsorbents porous materials such as silica, clay, resins, carbon-based (e.g., biochars, carbon nanotubes, activated carbon) often used remove pharmaceutical micropollutants during...
Due to the increasing world population and environmental considerations, there has been a tremendous interest in alternative energy sources. Hydrogen plays major role as an carrier due its environmentally benign nature. The combustion of hydrogen releases water vapor while it also vast industrial application aerospace, pharmaceutical, metallurgical industries. Although promising, faces storage challenges. Underground (UHS) presents promising method safely storing hydrogen. selection...
We have examined the biochemical responses of two sorghum cultivars differing drought tolerance, Samsorg 17 (more tolerant) and 40 (less tolerant), to sustained drought. Plants were exposed different degrees then maintained at that level for five days. Responses in terms metabolic changes expression induced proteins-Heat Shock Proteins (HSPs) dehydrins (DHNs). Generalised phenotypic studied using Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopy non-targeted Gas Chromatography Mass...
We isolated and identified gallic protocatechuic acids as the antidiabetic principles in Hibiscus sabdariffa using solvent extraction, column chromatographic fractionation, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.

As climate change is projected to increase in vulnerable areas of the world, we examined farmers’ perceptions this and their attitudes adaptation two communities (Zango Kofa) northwestern Nigeria. A total 220 arable farming households completed a livelihoods survey preplanting. The was followed by 154 post-harvest for questions based on theory planned behaviour (TPB). In addition positive responses from farmers towards perceptions, TPB findings reveal that such could lead intentions adapt as...
Drought, or environmental water deficit, is one of the major limiting factors affecting crop yield worldwide. Development drought-resistant cultivars a research and development challenge. Drought-related experiments are performed usually to understand physiological molecular mechanisms drought tolerance. Such also develop transgenics resistant using markers. executed in growth chambers, rooms, greenhouses, wire net-houses fields. However, plethora publications investigating has experimental...
Traditional mulch material (farmyard manure) has long been used in agriculture. However, recent developments have also introduced the scientific community and farmers to advanced chemicals such as potassium polyacrylamide (KPAM), which revolutionised concept of soil water-holding capacity many compared with other materials being used. To compare effect different organic inorganic amendment under water stress conditions, a two-year (2018 2019) field study was conducted. The main plots...
