Effect of potassium chloride-induced salt stress on bacoside A biosynthesis in (L.) grown under in vitro and in vivo conditions: a comparative study.

L is a highly acclaimed plant species for its diverse pharmaceutical properties and is mostly found in the Indian subcontinent. In this study, the effects of salt (KCl) stress on plant height, biomass, chlorophyll content, and antioxidant enzyme activities of in both in vitro and in vivo conditions were investigated. A significant increase of up to 1.

The emergence of metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) as a phytomedicine: A two-facet role in plant growth, nano-toxicity and anti-phyto-microbial activity.

Anti-microbial resistance (AMR) has recently emerged as an area of high interest owing to the rapid surge of AMR phenotypes. Metal oxide NPs (MeONPs) have been identified as novel phytomedicine and have recently peaked a lot of interest due to their potential applications in combating phytopathogens, besides enhancing plant growth and yields. Numerous MeONPs (TiO, MgO, CuO, AgO, SiO, ZnO, and CaO) have been synthesized and tested to validate their antimicrobial roles without causing toxicity to the cells.
