Article Synopsis
  • - Metal-based nanoparticles like silver, titanium dioxide, magnesium oxide, copper, and zinc oxide are being researched for their ability to fight plant diseases caused by bacteria and fungi by generating reactive oxygen species (ROS) under light exposure.
  • - The ROS produced can cause oxidative damage, disrupting the functions and structures of harmful pathogens, thereby helping to control infections.
  • - It's important to carefully assess the environmental and health risks associated with using nanoparticles to ensure that their application is safe and effective for plant disease management.

This study was carried out to determine the mineral content and nutritional properties of five wild fruits , , , , and . The proximate composition parameters (moisture, ash, crude fiber, crude fat, and crude protein) and antinutritional factors were evaluated using methods of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists and elemental analysis using the atomic absorption spectroscopy technique. Among the five wild edible fruit species, had the highest carbohydrate content (83.

The objective of the study was to evaluate the nutritional, mineral, and phytochemical analyses of some selected wild edible plants from Tach Gaint District, Northwest Ethiopia. Proximate composition parameters (moisture, ash, crude fibre, crude fat, crude protein, carbohydrate, and energy) were evaluated using the methods of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists, and elemental analysis was performed using the atomic absorption spectroscopy technique. Results from the nutritional analysis show that leaves had the highest crude protein content (17.
