Nanocatalysis of silver-nanobioprobe based supersensitive electrochemical detection of Salmonella serotypes targeting virulence protein.

Herein, we report a supersensitive and specific detection of Salmonella employing nanocatalysis of silver nanoparticle (AgNp). A nanobioprobe was developed employing specific antibody (Ab) that binds to a peptide present in transmembrane protein of Salmonella. We have studied 7 surface-exposed peptide hits from conserved virulence proteins (PagC, ST50, PagN, CdtB and FliC).

Metal nanoparticles to improve the heat resilience in wheat (L.).

This study evaluated the efficacy of phytogenic silver and zinc nanoparticles in improving heat resilience in various wheat varieties. The silver and zinc nanoparticles were synthesized using plant leaf extract and characterized using various techniques. Four wheat varieties (DBW187, Black Wheat, DBW 50, and PBW 621) were subjected to field trials.

Evaluation of efficacy of Phyto-synthesized iron oxide nanoparticles in contributing drought resilience in wheat (L.).

Wheat is the majorly cultivated staple crop worldwide. The world witnesses a great percentage of yield loss of wheat due to drought stress. The present study aimed at evaluating the efficacy of phytosynthesized iron oxide nanoparticles (FeONPs) in contributing to drought resilience in wheat (L.
