Characterization of prolycopene-accumulated Tan mutant of .

Significant progress has been made in understanding carotenoid biosynthesis in tomato (), and most pathway genes have been cloned and characterized. However, isolation and characterization of novel fruit ripening mutants is a continuous and essential process. This study describes the characterization of the Tan (Tangerine) mutant of .

Green synthesis of copper-based nanoparticles: study and ADMET analysis to assess their antioxidant, antibacterial, and cytotoxic effects.

Nanobiotechnology is a popular branch of science that is gaining interest among scientists and researchers as it allows for the green manufacturing of nanoparticles by employing plants as reducing agents. This method is safe, cheap, reproducible, and eco-friendly. In this study, the therapeutic property of fruit was mixed with the antibacterial activity of metallic copper to produce copper nanoparticles.

Antioxidant, Antibacterial, and Anti-diabetic Activity of Green Synthesized Copper Nanoparticles of Cocculus hirsutus (Menispermaceae).

The emergence of new technologies has led to the discovery of the biological properties of nanoparticles through green approach. In the present investigation, we report the potential antibacterial, antioxidant, and anti-diabetic properties of copper nanoparticle (CuNPs) synthesized by reducing 3 mM copper acetate solution with aqueous leaf extract of Cocculus hirsutus. A colour change from deep brown to dark greenish brown indicated the formation of copper nanoparticles.
