One stone two birds: Endophytes alleviating trace elements accumulation and suppressing soilborne pathogen by stimulating plant growth, photosynthetic potential and defense related gene expression.

In the present investigation, we utilized zinc nanoparticles (Zn-NPs) and bacterial endophytes to address the dual challenge of heavy metal (HM) toxicity in soil and Rhizoctonia solani causing root rot disease of tomato. The biocontrol potential of Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens was harnessed, resulting in profound inhibition of R. solani mycelial growth and efficient detoxification of HM through strong production of various hydrolytic enzymes and metabolites.

Modulating oxidative stress, apoptosis, and mitochondrial dysfunctions on cardiotoxicity induced by aluminum phosphide pesticide using resveratrol.

The agricultural fumigant pesticide aluminum phosphide (AlP) is cardiotoxic. Water causes AlP to emit phosphine gas, a cardiac toxin that affects heart function and causes cardiogenic shock. AlP poisoning's high fatality rate is due to cardiotoxicity.

Bio-Stimulant for Improving Secondary Metabolite Production, as Well as Antimicrobial Activity and Wound Healing Abilities.

is a dioecious, long-lived perennial shrub. Its leaves contain several antioxidant flavonoids that have numerous pharmacological effects. Various strategies have been explored to propagate jojoba with enhanced pharmacological values.

Potential antibacterial and antioxidant inhibitory activities of mediated biosynthesised He-Ne laser.

A potentially beneficial method in laser irradiation is currently gaining popularity. The biosynthesis of low-power lasers has also been applied to the therapy of disease in biological tissues. This study used laser pre-treatments of () fruit extract as a stabilising agent to bio-fabricate a low-power laser.

Differential Antimicrobial Effect of Three-Sized Biogenic Silver Nanoparticles as Broad-Spectrum Antibacterial Agents against Plant Pathogens.

Background: Massive fruit losses are caused by microbial pathogens of unknown identities. Therefore, ecofriendly biocontrol measures are well sought after, and biogenic silver nanoparticles are plausible candidates. Here we investigate the antimicrobial effect of three different sized AgNPs samples on those pathogens.

Enhancement of the Bioactive Compound Content and Antibacterial Activities in Curcuma Longa Using Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles.

Incorporating nanoparticles into plant cultivation has been shown to improve growth parameters and alter the bioactive component compositions of many plant species, including . The aim of the current study was to investigate the effects of foliar application of zinc oxide nanoparticles on the content of bioactive compounds and their antibacterial activities against potential bacterial pathogens. To this end, leaves were treated with different doses of ZnO NPs to see how this affected their bioactive component composition.

A survey of elastase-producing bacteria and characteristics of the most potent producer, Priestia megaterium gasm32.

Ninety-one elastase-producing bacterial isolates were recovered from different localities of the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. Elastase from the best isolate Priestia megaterium gasm32, from luncheon samples was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity using DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B and Sephadex G-100 chromatographic techniques. The recovery was 17.

Development of siderophore-based rhizobacterial consortium for the mitigation of biotic and abiotic environmental stresses in tomatoes: An in vitro and in planta approach.

Aim: Tomato-associated plant-growth-promoting rhizosphere bacteria were screened for effective antagonistic activity against the fungal vascular wilt pathogens; tolerance to heavy metals; and enhancing the bioavailability of iron for tomato plants through in vitro and in vivo approaches.

Methods And Results: Among the 121 rhizobacteria screened for siderophores, 25 isolates were observed to be siderophore producers and out of these, seven isolates chelate copper and iron thus exhibiting in vitro antagonism against the virulent strains of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp.

Investigating the Production of Antimicrobial Nanoparticles by and the Link to Its Loss of Viability.

from Al-Ahsa, KSA was proved to be an active silver and gold nanoparticle producer. Nanogold and nanosilver particles were characterized using UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and scanning electronmicroscopy. Both nanoparticles were used in the antimicrobial bioassay.
