Due to an increase in industrialization and urbanization, massive amounts of solid waste biomass are speedily accumulating in our environment, which poses several adverse effects on habitat and human health thus becoming a matter of discussion in the environmental community. With reference to the circular economy, continuous efforts have been put forward for setting up an organised management approach in combination with an efficient treatment technique for increasing the profitable utilization of solid waste. This review aims to provide a systematic discussion on the recent thermochemical technologies employed for converting waste biomass generated from different sources into valuable products like biochar, bio-oil, heat, energy and syngas.

Article Synopsis
  • Apple is a highly sought-after fruit crop, leading to an increased demand for high-quality planting materials, which can be effectively produced through in-vitro propagation methods.
  • This study established a successful propagation protocol for the apple rootstock MM 104 using axillary buds, yielding impressive results such as 100% shoot multiplication and an average of 9.8 shoots per explant.
  • Additionally, the research confirmed the genetic stability of the in-vitro grown plants using DNA profiling techniques, showing they closely resemble the original mother plant.

Purpose: The current literature proposes a probable role of in its etiopathogenesis in early childhood caries (ECC). This study aimed to isolate species in children with and without ECC and compare the antifungal efficacy of neem, miswak, cinnamon, clove, stevia, and ketoconazole. This study also aimed to assess and compare salivary pH in children with and without ECC.

Human viral oncogenesis is a complex phenomenon and a major contributor to the global cancer burden. Several recent findings revealed cellular and molecular pathways that promote the development and initiation of malignancy when viruses cause an infection. Even, antiviral treatment has become an approach to eliminate the viral infections and prevent the activation of oncogenesis.

In the era of dire environmental fluctuations, plants undergo several stressors during their life span, which severely impact their development and overall growth in negative aspects. Abiotic stress factors, especially moisture stress i.e shortage (drought) or excess (flooding), salinity, temperature divergence (i.

The havoc created by Corona virus has been dealt with using various integrative approaches adopted by laboratories through-out the world. Use of anti-viral peptides (AVPs) although new but has shown tremendous potential against many pathogens. Previously AVPs have been designed against spike protein of corona virus which is the major entry mediating molecule.

Low temperature is a major abiotic stress that impedes plant growth and development. Brassica juncea is an economically important oil seed crop and is sensitive to freezing stress during pod filling subsequently leading to abortion of seeds. To understand the cold stress mediated global perturbations in gene expression, whole transcriptome of B.
