Anticancer and drug-sensitizing activities of gold nanoparticles synthesized from cyclopia genistoides (honeybush) extracts
(MDPI, 2023)Synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) using phytochemicals has become tremendously prominent in biomedical applications because of its enhanced bioactivity and biocompatibility. In this study, water extracts from the ... -
Establishing minion sequencing and genome assembly procedures for the analysis of the rooibos (aspalathus linearis) genome
(MDPI, 2022)While plant genome analysis is gaining speed worldwide, few plant genomes have been sequenced and analyzed on the African continent. Yet, this information holds the potential to transform diverse industries as it unlocks ... -
Genetic variation in responses to salt stress in Tunisian populations of Medicago ciliaris
(MDPI, 2022)Soil salinity is one of the most serious environmental factors affecting crop productivity around the world. We used a morpho-physiological approach to investigate the salt responses of four Tunisian natural populations ... -
Green synthesis of metallic nanoparticles using some selected medicinal plants from Southern Africa and their biological applications
(MPDI, 2021)The application of metallic nanoparticles (MNPs), especially that of silver, gold, cobalt, and zinc as antimicrobial, anticancer, drug delivery, contrast, and bioimaging agents has transformed the field of medicine. Their ... -
