predicted a ...
The antioxidant and in vitro wound healing activity of cotyledon orbiculata aqueous extract and the synthesized biogenic silver nanoparticles
(MDPI, 2022)
The synthesis of silver nanoparticles using biogenic methods, particularly plants, has led to
the discovery of several effective nanoparticles. In many instances, plant-derived silver nanoparticles
have been shown to ...
Comparative proteomics analysis between maize and sorghum uncovers important proteins and metabolic pathways mediating drought tolerance
(MDPI, 2023)
Drought severely affects crop yield and yield stability. Maize and sorghum are major crops
in Africa and globally, and both are negatively impacted by drought. However, sorghum has a better
ability to withstand drought ...
