Plant-mediated synthesis of nanoparticles exhibits great potential to minimize the generation of chemical waste through the utilization of non-toxic precursors. In this research work, we report the synthesis of magnesium oxide (MgO) and cobalt oxide (CoO) nanoparticles through a green approach using leaves extract, their surface modification by polyaniline (PANI), and antifungal properties against . Textural and structural characterization of modified and unmodified metal oxide nanoparticles were evaluated using FT-IR, SEM, and XRD.

- A study focused on isolating and characterizing plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) from the chili rhizosphere in Pakistan aimed to combat a soil-borne oomycete causing post-emergence damping-off in chili pepper.
- Out of 28 bacterial isolates tested, eight demonstrated significant ability to suppress the pathogen and enhance plant growth attributes like germination and root development.
- The successful PGPR isolates produced beneficial compounds, showed non-pathogenicity towards chili seeds, and improved plant defense mechanisms against the damping-off disease, indicating their potential in sustainable agriculture practices.
