Amaranthus viridis is a plant that is very widely distributed in our country, grows easily, and is eaten by low-income groups. It has been found that the proteins of this plant, like most other plants, are deficient in some essential amino acids. We were able to develop cultures from the cut-end parts of this plant tissue. The commonly used media were modified to achieve good and fast growth. Results have been obtained on the techniques, histology, chromosomal, and biochemical studies which indicate that the plant could be useful as a research tool to study problems in crop improvement at the cellular level.

Food and nutrition security are essential for accomplishing sustainable development goals, and a growing population requires various food sources to address hunger and nutrition. Indigenous vegetables are nutritious, healthy, and adaptable to local conditions, making them a potential food and nutrition security resource. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the nutritional richness of indigenous vegetables by comparing the nutritional content of commonly grown indigenous vegetables like Chenopodium album (Bathua), Coccinia grandis (Telakucha), Amaranthus viridis (Shaknotey), Moringa oleifera (Shojne), Alternanthera philoxeroides (Malancha), and Xanthium strumarium (Ghagra) to BARI Lalshak-1 (Amaranthus tricolor).

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the impact of airborne micro-nanoplastics (MNPs) pollution on leafy vegetables, focusing on how Polystyrene Nanoplastics (PS-NPs) affect four species: Brassica rapa var. chinensis, B. rapa var. parachinensis, Amaranthus viridis, and Allium tuberosum.
- - Results indicate that PS-NPs accumulate in the epidermal layers of the leaves, particularly around stomatal openings, with higher levels on both sides of the leaves compared to cross-sections, and accumulation varies based on leaf structure.
- - The presence of PS-NPs leads to decreased chlorophyll content and photosynthetic efficiency, ultimately impacting the growth and nutritional quality of these
