Solanum trilobatum Linn is a medicinal plants used in India from many centuries to cure various diseases. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the ameliorative potential of the ethanolic leaf extract and fractions of Solanum trilobatum (St) against alloxan induced diabetic rats. Solanum trilobatum leaf extract and fractions were administered orally at two different concentration (100-200mg/kg body weight) to alloxan induced diabetic rats. The antidiabetic efficacy was validated through various biochemical parameters, enzyme assays, renal markers and antioxidant properties were also determined. The phytochemical analyses of St leaves were done by estimating their Chlorophyll, carotenoids, total sugar, protein, amino acid and minerals contents. The results revealed that the leaf extracts and fractions of St were efficient anti hyperglycemic agents and posses potent nephro-protective activity. However, the extracts of St leaves at a concentration of 200mg/kg bw exhibit higher efficacy in all tested concentrations. From the result it can be concluded that the leaf extracts of St can be a potential candidate in treating the hyperglycemic conditions and justifies its use in ethano medicine and can be exploits in the management of diabetes.

The release of industrial wastewater has adverse effects on both aquatic ecosystems and the environment. Discharging untreated organic dyes into aquatic environments significantly amplifies pollution levels in these ecosystems. Ensuring the appropriate disposal of organic colorants and their derivatives before introducing them into wastewater streams is essential to prevent environmental contamination.

Aphid species (Insecta, Hemiptera) are economically important invasive pest throughout the world, though their identification is intricate due to tiny size and inconspicuous nature of morphology. Mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (mtCOI) region has been proven to be a standard barcode to identify the diverse array of insect groups. Isolation of good quality DNA is a fundamental first step in insect DNA barcoding which is obtained by standardizing the DNA isolation method.

Biologically inspired synthesis of nanoparticles was found to be more attractive in metal nanoparticle synthesis. The present study reported an biogenic synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using aqueous leaf extract. On this basis, the aqueous leaf extract of acted as a reducing agent and stabilizing agent to synthesize highly stable AgNPs at ambient temperature.
