Multi-element uptake and growth responses of Rice (Oryza sativa L.) to TiO nanoparticles applied in different textured soils.

The aim of present work was to evaluate the effects of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO NPs) on rice's growth (Oryza sativa L.) and nutrient availability under different soil textures. Greenhouse experiment was carried out with three soil textures (sandy loam, silt loam and silty clay loam) and two concentrations of TiO NPs (500, 750 mg kg).

TiO nanoparticles dose, application method and phosphorous levels influence genotoxicity in Rice (Oryza sativa L.), soil enzymatic activities and plant growth.

The present study focused on investigating the effect of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiONPs) on rice (Oryza sativa L.) growth and changes in soil health in two contrasting soil textures (silt-loam and clay). Moreover, response of rice to different methods of TiONPs application and phosphorous fertilizer levels were also evaluated.

Field evaluation of a blood based test for active tuberculosis in endemic settings.

Over 9 million new active tuberculosis (TB) cases emerge each year from an enormous pool of 2 billion individuals latently infected with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb.) worldwide.
