Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on creating Zinc Oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) from A. modesta leaves extract using a cost-effective method, and the nanoparticles were thoroughly characterized using various techniques like UV-Vis Spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis.
- - Characterization revealed the hexagonal structure of ZnO NPs with an average size of 68.3 nm and a band gap of 2.71 eV, along with notable shapes and elemental composition shown in SEM and EDX analyses.
- - The synthesized ZnO NPs demonstrated significant biomedical potential, with high antileishmanial (68%), anti-inflammatory (78%), and antibacterial activities, suggesting their promising applications in healthcare and environmental settings.
Purpose: The secondary metabolites in plants are the basis of defense and stress balance, which is an important aspect in plant growth. The UV-B treatment (a biotic stress) and salt stress on bitter melon ( L.) were studied, and the impact of pre-sowing seed treatment was evaluated on the basis of biochemical and enzymatic biomarkers, antioxidants, and wound-healing potential during early growth stages.

Vaccines primarily trigger the acquired immune system to develop long-lasting immunity against pathogens. Conventional approaches for vaccine delivery lacks potential to target a particular antigen to develop acquired immunity by specific antibodies.
