The performance of an engineering material depends on its potentiality and characterization under different mechanical and thermal test environments. The present research study has revealed the performance of a new class of hybrid composites, focused specially on the general trends observed in their impact of fabrication and its properties. To investigate how the mechanical and thermal qualities of the epoxy matrix may be improved, pineapple leaf fibre and carbon fibre were particularly chosen. By embedding the selected filler into the Pineapple leaf Fiber/Carbon Fiber(PALF/CF) reinforced epoxy resin, coordination effects, impact of embedding were achieved in the form of modified mechanical and thermal properties. The present research work is focused to perform the thermal and mechanical properties of pineapple leaf fiber/carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin(ER) composites with and without particulate nano TiO fillers. The comparison of hybrid fibre (carbon and pineapple leaf fibre) reinforced epoxy composites with and without particulate nano TiO2 fillers was done. The results of the mechanical tests demonstrated that, in comparison to all other composites, the inclusion of nano fillers improved the tensile, flexural, and impact strengths. Nano particle reinforced with hybrid composite has a score of 23.4, whereas clean epoxy only gets a score of 4.5. It follows from this example that the presence of nanoparticles raises the residual values.

Heat stress poses a significant challenge for maize production, especially during the spring when high temperatures disrupt cellular processes, impeding plant growth and development. The B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) associated athanogene (BAG) gene family is known to be relatively conserved across various species. It plays a crucial role as molecular chaperone cofactors that are responsible for programmed cell death and tumorigenesis.

Article Synopsis
- Pineapple crops in Guangxi Province, China, suffered from a disease affecting heart leaves, with a disease incidence of 20% to 30% across 10,500 plants, leading to the collapse and death of approximately 800 plants.
- Diseased plants exhibited water-soaked lesions and soft rot, prompting researchers to disinfect and analyze the infected tissue, which resulted in the recovery of mycelium colonies consistent with the description of Phytophthora.
- Molecular identification techniques, including PCR amplification of specific DNA regions, confirmed the presence of two strains of Phytophthora, with sequences deposited in GenBank for further reference.

Article Synopsis
- - C4 crops like maize and sorghum are more efficient at photosynthesis, water, and nitrogen use compared to C3 crops like rice, with both C3 and C4 crops containing the genes for C4 photosynthesis.
- - A study compared the photosynthetic genes of C3 (rice), C4 (sorghum, maize, and foxtail millet), and CAM (pineapple) plants, revealing that C4 plants have the most genes for key enzymes while CAM had the fewest.
- - The research showed that C4 gene expressions evolved with new tissue patterns in C4 crops, emphasizing the importance of gene expression in leaves and specific cellular distribution for efficient C4 photosynthesis development.

Electrochemical energy storage heavily depends on the activity and stability of electrode materials. However, the direct use of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as supercapacitor electrode materials poses challenges due to their low electrical conductivity. In this study, pineapple leaf-derived biochar (PLB) was employed as a carrier for bimetallic ZnCo-MOF, resulting in the composite ZnCo-MOF@PLB-800, synthesized through growth and pyrolysis at 800 °C.

Pineapple leaf waste, a byproduct of agricultural processes, was used as a novel raw material to synthesize carbon dots (CDs) through a simple hydrothermal method. The CDs were subsequently incorporated into pineapple stem starch (PSS)-based active food packaging films. The characterization of the CDs and PSS-CDs films was conducted using various techniques, including UV-light spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy.
