Endophytes as bioenhancers of plant growth: An overview.

The need for food production rises with the era of expanding population. As a result, there is more indirect demand for chemical pesticides and fertilizers. Serious environmental concerns result from the continuous and careless usage of chemicals.

Knowledge of Droplet Infection and Airborne Isolation Among Dental Students in South India: A Questionnaire Study.

Background Infections can spread within the dental clinic through many routes. Interrupting this transmission of infection within the dental office is an important part of the dental practice. This study aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding precautions against droplet and airborne infections among dental students in South India.

A Systematic Review of Fish-Based Biomaterial on Wound Healing and Anti-Inflammatory Processes.

To conduct a systematic literature review to study the effects of fish-based biomaterials on wound healing in both and animal models. This review covers the study reported in different articles between 2016 and August 2022 concentrating mainly on the cytotoxicity evaluation of different fish-based biomaterials on inflammation, reepithelialization and wound healing. This review shows considerable amount of research work carried out with fish-based biomaterials and collagen for treating burn wounds.

Mitigation of drought stress in rice crop with plant growth-promoting abiotic stress-tolerant rice phyllosphere bacteria.

In the search of effective drought-alleviating and growth-promoting phyllosphere bacteria, a total of 44 bacterial isolates were isolated from the leaf surface of drought-tolerant rice varieties, Mattaikar, Nootripattu, Anna R(4), and PMK3, and screened for their abiotic stress tolerance by subjecting their growth medium to temperature, salinity, and osmotic stress. Only eight isolates were found to grow and proliferate under different abiotic stress conditions. These isolates were identified using 16S ribosomal DNA gene sequence and submitted to the NCBI database.
