Qualitative and quantitative phytochemical screening and antioxidant potential of Bulbine inflata (Asphodelaceae).

Bulbine inflata is one of the species in the genus Bulbine that are yet to be documented for potential medicinal uses. Hence, we carried out its preliminary phytochemical profiling and investigated its antioxidant potential. The leaves were dried using air- and freeze-drying techniques and were extracted by water, methanol, ethyl acetate and hexane.

Influence of Different Rates of Plant-Based Compost on Clay Soil Metal Behavior and Human Health Risk Assessment in Moringa oleifera Leaf Biomass.

An investigation of the impact of adding plant-based organic compost to clay soil from a Moringa oleifera farm focusing on the metal content, bioavailability, and accumulation of nutrients in M. oleifera leaves was conducted. Clay soil was mixed with 15%, 30%, 45% and 60% plant-based organic compost (by volume) in 20 cm wide, 2 L pots.

Programmed cell death and necrosis during cryopreparative drying of in vitro Eucalyptus grandis axillary buds.

In preparation for cryopreservation, Eucalyptus grandis in vitro axillary buds were dried over silica gel. Pretreatment of the buds with 5 mg per L ABA resulted in partial resistance to water loss (0.76 to 0.
