Nano selenium modulates ripening of Capsicum fruit under postharvest storage: Cellular redox and related physiological characteristics.

In the background of antioxidation properties of selenium (Se) in plants, the role of nano‑selenium (Se-NPs) was justified in the modulation of Capsicum fruit ripening. In our study, exogenous application of 8 mg L Se-NPs on fruits through 7 days (D) of postharvest storage regulated decay rate, water loss and fruit coat firmness. Se-NPs recovered fruit coat damages with reduction of ion leakage, lipid oxidation, and accumulation of polyamines.

Mitigation of aluminum toxicity in rice seedlings using biofabricated selenium nanoparticles and nitric oxide: Synergistic effects on oxidative stress tolerance and sulfur metabolism.

Biofabricated selenium nanoparticles (Se-NPs) and sodium nitroprusside-derived nitric oxide (NO) singly or in combination was evaluated to improve tolerance to aluminum (Al) stress in rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Swarna Sub1).

Automated Continuous Crystallization Platform with Real-Time Particle Size Analysis via Laser Diffraction.

The fourth industrial revolution is gaining momentum in the pharmaceutical industry. However, particulate processes and suspension handling remain big challenges for automation and the implementation of real-time particle size analysis. Moreover, the development of antisolvent crystallization processes is often limited by the associated time-intensive experimental screenings.

Exploring Aluminum Tolerance Mechanisms in Plants with Reference to Rice and : A Comprehensive Review of Genetic, Metabolic, and Physiological Adaptations in Acidic Soils.

Aluminum (Al) makes up a third of the Earth's crust and is a widespread toxic contaminant, particularly in acidic soils. It impacts crops at multiple levels, from cellular to whole plant systems. This review delves into Al's reactivity, including its cellular transport, involvement in oxidative redox reactions, and development of specific metabolites, as well as the influence of genes on the production of membrane channels and transporters, alongside its role in triggering senescence.

Modulation of secondary metabolism and redox regulation by exogenously applied glutathione improves the shelf life of Capsicum annuum L. fruit.

Role of redox homeostasis in fruit ripening of Capsicum annuum L. with oxidative metabolism was studied. The research aims the ability to reduce agents during postharvest storage on fruit for delayed ripening with the regulation of oxidative stress.

Abscisic acid priming confers salt tolerance in maize seedlings by modulating osmotic adjustment, bond energies, ROS homeostasis, and organic acid metabolism.

This study aimed at investigating the influence of exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) on salt homeostasis under 100 mM NaCl stress in maize (Zea mays L. cv. Kaveri 50) through 3 and 5 days of exposure.

Regulation of NADP-Malic Enzyme Activity in Maize ( L.) under Salinity with Reference to Light and Darkness.

We revealed the functional characterization of C4-NADP-malic enzyme (NADP-ME), extracted and partially purified from maize ( L. cv. Kaveri 50).

A versatile non-fouling multi-step flow reactor platform: demonstration for partial oxidation synthesis of iron oxide nanoparticles.

In the last decade flow reactors for material synthesis were firmly established, demonstrating advantageous operating conditions, reproducible and scalable production continuous operation, as well as high-throughput screening of synthetic conditions. Reactor fouling, however, often restricts flow chemistry and the common fouling prevention segmented flow comes at the cost of inflexibility. Often, the difficulty of feeding reagents into liquid segments (droplets or slugs) constrains flow syntheses using segmented flow to simple synthetic protocols with a single reagent addition step prior or during segmentation.
