Sweetpotato cultivars responses to interactive effects of warming, drought, and elevated carbon dioxide.

Plants are sensitive to changes projected in climates, such as elevated carbon dioxide (eCO), high temperature (T), and drought stress (DS), which affect crop growth, development, and yield. These stresses, either alone or in combination, affect all aspects of sweetpotato plant growth and development, including storage root development and yield. We tested three sweetpotato cultivars (Beauregard, Hatteras, and LA1188) responses to eight treatments (Control, DS, T, eCO, DS + T, T + eCO DS + eCO DS + T + eCO).

Green synthesis, characterization, photoluminescence and biological studies of silver nanoparticles from the leaf extract of Muntingia calabura.

The current protocol describes the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles, which shown photoluminescence, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antidiabetic and antibacterial effects utilizing leaf extracts of Muntingia calabura. High-throughput methods (UV-Vis, FTIR, XRD, SEM, EDX and PL) were used to characterize the synthesized Mc-AgNP's. The surface plasmon resonance of Mc-AgNP's was detected around 456 nm using UV-Vis spectroscopy.

Eco-friendly Green Synthesis of Silver Nanoparticles from Leaf Extract of Solanum khasianum: Optical Properties and Biological Applications.

The green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) was considered to be efficacious over other approaches due to their eco-friendliness, cost-effectiveness, and high stability. The biosynthesis of AgNPs was achieved by the reduction of silver nitrate using the aqueous leaf extract of Solanum khasianum. The biosynthesized AgNPs were examined by a color change and UV-Vis spectroscopy with an absorption spectrum at 440 nm.

GC-MS profiling and antibacterial activity of leaf and root extracts.

Background: is an important medicinal herb of the Solanaceae family. The present study was focused to determine the bioactive compounds in leaf and root extract by GC-MS analysis and their antibacterial activity by agar well diffusion method.

Results: Sixteen bioactive compounds were detected in leaf extract and thirty-two compounds in root methanolic extract by GC-MS.
