Unlabelled: (soybean) is a highly protein-rich legume that also contains oils and vitamins. Unfortunately, soybean faces many biotic and abiotic stresses including heat, drought, pests, wounds, infections, and salinity, which limits the crop productivity. Among these, mechanical wounding (MW) causes significant harm to plants, creates a passage for invading pathogens, and disrupts plant metabolism.

RDTs targeting histidine-rich protein 2 (PfHRP2) and its structural homologue PfHRP3 are commonly used for detecting Plasmodium falciparum. However, genetic deletions in these proteins can affect test accuracy.

It is an efficient addition for reducing ammonia inhibition due to its large specific surface area, porosity, conductivity, redox characteristics, and functional groups making it favorable for both soil and water remediation. The efficacy of biochar on the N cycle is associated with biochar properties which are mainly affected by feedstock type and pyrolysis condition.

The prepared photocatalysts were analyzed by XRD, FESEM, HRTEM, PL, UV-DRS, XPS, and Zeta potential emphasizing their crystalline structures, morphological characteristics, charge carrier recombination, band gap energies, chemical compositions, and surface charge. These results confirmed successful P doping by substituting C and formation of heterojunction with SnS.
