Article Synopsis
- The research explores how SnO nanoparticles, created using Artemisia vulgaris, can combat drug-resistant infections associated with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs).
- AvTO-NPs showed impressive results, inhibiting biofilm formation and virulence factors in Candida albicans strains, which are common in DFUs, with minimum inhibitory concentrations ranging from 1 to 2 mg/mL.
- The study suggests that the increase in reactive oxygen species in the treated strains contributes to their cell death and may offer a new treatment avenue for managing biofilm-related DFUs and enhancing wound healing.
The present study is aimed to elucidate the effects of concomitant application of irradiated carrageenan (IC) oligomers and salicylic acid (SA) on Artemisia annua L. varieties, viz. "CIM-Arogya" (tolerant) and "Jeevan Raksha" (sensitive) exposed to arsenic (As) stress.

The soil was amended with fly ash at the rates of 0, 5, 10, 20 and 40% (w/w). Our results showed that the uptake of Cd, Pb and Zn from soil to mustard root increased with the increase in fly ash application rates, but their root to shoot translocation was relatively restricted.
