Green synthesis of iron oxide (hematite) nanoparticles and their influence on sorghum bicolor growth under drought stress
(MDPI, 2023)Drought is a major abiotic stress that confronts plant growth and productivity, thus compromising food security. Plants use physiological and biochemical mechanisms to cope with drought stress, but at the expense of ... -
Genetic heritage of the Baphuthi highlights an over-ethnicized notion of “Bushman” in the Maloti-Drakensberg, southern Africa
(Cell Press, 2023)Using contemporary people as proxies for ancient communities is a contentious but necessary practice in anthropology. In southern Africa, the distinction between the Cape KhoeSan and eastern KhoeSan remains unclear, as ... -
Variability in Responses to Phoma medicaginis Infection in a Tunisian Collection of Three Annual Medicago Species
(Korean Society of Plant Pathology, 2023)Spring black stem and leaf spot, caused by Phoma medicaginis, is an issue in annual Medicago species. Therefore, in this study, we analyzed the response to P. medicaginis infection in a collection of 46 lines of three ... -
Hypoglycaemic activity of biosynthesized copper oxide nanoparticles in alloxan-induced diabetic Wister rats
(Wiley, 2023)Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder that affects the body's ability to produce or use insulin. This study evaluated the hypoglycaemic activity of biosynthesized copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO-NPs) ... -
Reports of plant-derived nanoparticles for prostate cancer therapy
(MDPI, 2023)Plants have demonstrated potential in providing various types of phytomedicines with chemopreventive properties that can combat prostate cancer. However, despite their promising in vitro activity, the incorporation of these ... -

Reports of Plant-Derived Nanoparticles for Prostate Cancer Therapy
(Plants, 2023)Background: Plants have demonstrated potential in providing various types of phytomedicines with chemopreventive properties that can combat prostate cancer. However, despite their promising in vitro activity, the incorporation ... -
Design and synthesis of acyldepsipeptide-1 analogues: antibacterial activity and cytotoxicity screening
(Arabian Journal of Chemistry, 2023)Acyldepsipeptides (ADEPs) are receiving more attention as prospective antimicrobial agents due to their unique mode of action and chemical properties. However, their therapeutic potential is limited by their poor pharmacokinetic ... -
Seed germination and seedling establishment in pistacia atlantica desf. and pistacia lentiscus l. under drought
(Russian Journal of Plant Physiology, 2023)The rehabilitation of degraded Mediterranean areas requires reintroduction of key-stone woody species. However, seed germination and seedling establishment for native species are poor. Germination behavior of Pistacia ... -
Microbiome enrichment from contaminated marine sediments unveils novel bacterial strains for petroleum hydrocarbon and heavy metal bioremediation
(Elsevier, 2023)Petroleum hydrocarbons and heavy metals are some of the most widespread contaminants affecting marine ecosystems, urgently needing effective and sustainable remediation solutions. Microbial-based bioremediation is gaining ... -
Whole-genome sequencing of African swine fever virus from wild boars in the Kaliningrad region reveals unique and distinguishing genomic mutations
(Frontiers Media, 2023)Since the first report of outbreaks of African swine fever (ASF) in Georgia in 2007, the disease has expanded into Europe, Russia, and Asia, spreading rapidly via contact with infected animals including domestic pigs and ... -
Analysis of the differentially expressed proteins and metabolic pathways of honeybush (cyclopia subternata) in response to water deficit stress
(MDPI, 2023)Honeybush (Cyclopia spp.) is a rich source of antioxidant properties and phenolic compounds. Water availability plays a crucial role in plant metabolic processes, and it contributes to overall quality. Thus, this study ... -
Sustainable agriculture through the enhancement of microbial biocontrol agents: Current challenges and new perspectives
(MDPI, 2023)The future of pesticide usage in agriculture is uncertain due to its unsustainability, adverse environmental impacts, and its association in enhanced phytopathogen resistance. Hence, this situation urges the development ... -
Recent advancements in the breeding of sorghum crop: current status and future strategies for marker-assisted breeding
(Frontiers, 2023)Sorghum is emerging as a model crop for functional genetics and genomics of tropical grasses with abundant uses, including food, feed, and fuel, among others. It is currently the fifth most significant primary cereal crop. ... -
Seed priming with MeJa prevents salt-induced growth inhibition and oxidative damage in sorghum bicolor by inducing the expression of jasmonic acid biosynthesis genes
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2023)Salinity is one of the major detrimental abiotic stresses at the forefront of deterring crop productivity globally. Although the exogenous application of phytohormones has formerly proven efficacious to plants, their effect ...
