Biotechnological advances in plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria for sustainable agriculture.

The rhizosphere, the soil zone surrounding plant roots, serves as a reservoir for numerous beneficial microorganisms that enhance plant productivity and crop yield, with substantial potential for application as biofertilizers. These microbes play critical roles in ecological processes such as nutrient recycling, organic matter decomposition, and mineralization. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) represent a promising tool for sustainable agriculture, enabling green management of crop health and growth, being eco-friendly alternatives to replace chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

The biochemical and molecular mechanisms of plants: a review on insect herbivory.

Biochemical and molecular mechanisms have been essential mechanisms to reduce various insect attacks on plants. The biochemical methods are wide involving direct and indirect defenses. The defensive chemical substances are secreted effectively to the wound caused by the herbivores (insects and phytopathogens) on plants.

Beyond correlation: Understanding the causal link between microbiome and plant health.

Understanding the causal link between the microbiome and plant health is crucial for the future of crop production. Established studies have shown a symbiotic relationship between microbes and plants, reshaping our knowledge of plant microbiomes' role in health and disease. Addressing confounding factors in microbiome study is essential, as standardization enables precise identification of microbiome features that influence outcomes.

An updated comprehensive review on waste valorization: Informetric analysis, current insights and future perspectives on cereal waste and byproduct utilization for sustainable industrial applications.

Cereal crops have been integral to human sustenance since the Neolithic era which have earned significant attention as staple foods. The year-round cultivation and consumption of cereal-based products have led to the escalating global production of cereals and a rise in industrial processing which results in significant waste generation. These wastes contain high-value nutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids.

Kinetic Characterisation of the R and R2 Quaternary Structures of Oxyhemoglobins Arising from Different Effects of Inositol Hexakisphosphate on Their Reactions with Ellman's Reagent.

In a previously reported equilibrium study of the reaction of 5,5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoate), DTNB, with various carbonmonoxyhemoglobins over the pH range 5.6 to 9, we obtained contradictory results on the influence of the allosteric effector inositol hexakisphosphate (inositol-P) on the DTNB reaction. For this reason, we replaced the carbonmonoxyhemoglobins with oxyhemoglobins and investigated the effect of inositol-P on the equilibrium and of their reactions with DTNB over the same pH range.
