Assessment of induced allelopathy in crop-weed co-culture with rye-pigweed model.

This study evaluates induced allelopathy in a rye-pigweed model driven by rye's (Secale cereale L.) allelopathic potential as a cover crop and pigweed's (Amaranthus retroflexus L.) notoriety as a weed.

Allelopathy: an alternative tool for sustainable agriculture.

Population increase, poverty, environmental degradation, and the use of synthetic herbicides are interdependent and closely linked and hence influence global food safety and stability of world agriculture. On the one hand, varied weeds, insects, and other pests have caused a tremendous loss in agricultural crop productivity annually. On the other hand, the use of synthetic insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and other pesticides significantly disturbed the ecology of biotic communities in agricultural and natural ecosystems.

Drug Standardization through Pharmacognostic Approaches and Estimation of Anticancer Potential of Chamomile () using Prostate-Cancer cell lines: An In-vitro Study.

Cancer is the major challenge across world and the adenocarcinoma of prostate malignancy is the second most prevalent male cancer. Various medicinal plants are used for the treatment and management of various cancers. L.

Application of silver nanoparticles synthesized through varying biogenic and chemical methods for wastewater treatment and health aspects.

Nanotechnology uses biological and non-biological materials to create new systems at the nanoscale level. In recent years, the use of silver nanomaterials has attracted worldwide attention thanks to their wide range of applications as catalysts in several environmental processes including the degradation of organic pollutants and medicinal biotechnology. This study reports the synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) through different methods including the biogenic methods based on leaf extract of Conocarpus erectus and a bacterial strain Pseudomonas sp.

Cytotoxic allelochemicals induce ultrastructural modifications in Cassia tora L. and mitotic changes in Allium cepa L.: a weed versus weed allelopathy approach.

The stress induced by allelochemicals present in stem aqueous extract (SAE) of Nicotiana plumbaginifolia on alterations in growth, ultrastructure on Cassia tora L., and mitotic changes on Allium cepa L. were inspected.
