Multifunctional AgO/chitosan nanocomposites synthesized via sol-gel with enhanced antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties: A novel food packaging material.

In this study, a single step in situ sol-gel method was used to syntheses nanocomposite films using chitosan (CS) as the basis material, with the addition of silver oxide nanoparticles (AgO) at several weight percentages (5 %, 10 %, and 15 % AgO/CS). The structural characteristics of AgO/CS films were investigated using a range of analytical techniques. The presence of the primary distinctive peaks of chitosan was verified using FTIR spectra analysis.

Evaluation of the Antifungal Activity of and and Characterization of the Bioactive Secondary Metabolites Produced against Plant Pathogenic Fungi.

Endophytic bacteria are plant-beneficial bacteria with a broad host range. They provide numerous benefits to their hosts, helping them tolerate several biotic and abiotic stresses. An interest has recently been developed in endophytic bacteria which are producing bioactive compounds that contribute to the biological control of various phytopathogens.

Essential Oil of Mill. as a Green Fungicide and Defense-Inducing Agent against Fusarium Root Rot Disease in L.

, the causative agent of root rot disease is one of the major constraints of faba bean ( L.) yield worldwide. Essential oils have become excellent plant growth stimulators besides their antifungal properties.

-Mediated Synthesis of Selenium Nanoparticles and Their Antifungal Activity against in Faba Bean Plants.

Rhizoctonia root-rot disease causes severe economic losses in a wide range of crops, including worldwide. Currently, biosynthesized nanoparticles have become super-growth promoters as well as antifungal agents. In this study, biosynthesized selenium nanoparticles (Se-NPs) have been examined as growth promoters as well as antifungal agents against RCMB 031001 in vitro and in vivo.
