    Abstract Abiotic stresses like salinity and micronutrient deficiency majorly affect wheat productivity. Applying mesoporous silica nanoparticles (MSiNPs) as a smart micronutrient delivery system can facilitate better stress management and nutrient delivery. In this purview, we investigated the potential of MSiNPs and Zn-loaded MSiNPs (Zn-MSiNPs) on the growth and physiology of wheat seedlings exposed to salinity stress (200 mM NaCl). Initially, the FESEM, DLS, and BET analysis portrayed nanoparticles' spherical shape, nano-size, and negatively charged mesoporous surface. A sustained release of Zn

    Abstract Acetaminophen (APAP) is commonly prescribed as an antipyretic and analgesic agent in the practical field. Like every other drug(s), APAP also undergo metabolism by oxidation or conjugation by glucuronate and sulphate to form the toxic metabolite N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI). Moreover, the NAPQI is detoxified by conjugation with reduced glutathione (GSH). Interestingly, APAP is also metabolized in the kidney by deacetylation reaction in the presence of N-deacetylase enzyme into another severely toxic but minor metabolite, p-aminophenol. Both NAPQI and p-aminophenol shows nephrotoxicity as well as hepatotoxicity. Hence, the long-term therapeutic dose use and unnecessary overdose of APAP are of great concern as prolonged negligence may cost the nephrotoxicity that may lead to uremia and finally to kidney failure. It has recently been investigated that probiotic supplementation inhibits the sequential events associated with APAP-induced nephrotoxicity. This review emphasizes the role of different probiotics that have already been investigated in nephrotoxicity or uremia caused by APAP overdose.

    Abstract Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) confer better growth and development of plants under salinity stress. Moreover, the surface-functionalization of SiNPs with bioactive molecules is expected to enhance its efficacy. The present study thus aimed to modify the surface of SiNPs, by attaching a bioactive molecule (trehalose) to obtain TSiNPs. The successful surface functionalization was confirmed using FTIR, XRD, and EDS. The spherical shape and amorphous nature of the nanoparticles were confirmed using SEM. The TEM image analysis revealed that the size of SiNPs and TSiNPs ranged between 20-50 nm and 200-250 nm, respectively. A novel bioassay experiment designed to study the release of silica and trehalose from nanoparticles elucidated that the TSiNPs improved the release and uptake of silica. Also, trehalose uptake significantly improved after 72 h of application due to enhanced release of trehalose from TSiNPs. Further, this study also aimed to investigate the potential benefits of SiNPs and TSiNPs in promoting the growth and development of plants under salinity stress. In this context, the nanoparticles were applied to the saline-stressed (0, 200, 300 mM) lentil seedlings for the in-planta experiments. The results revealed that both SiNPs and TSiNPs improved the growth of seedlings (shoot, and root length), ionic balance (K

    Abstract A considerable amount of fruit waste is being produced every day worldwide. The green synthesis of metal nanoparticles from fruit peel waste can be an innovative, cost-effective, and eco-friendly alternative to traditional methods. Copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) were synthesized by a green method using the pineapple peels extract (PLX) and copper sulfate pentahydrate. The formation of CuNPs was visually identified and detected by UV-Visible spectroscopy. The CuNPs were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, particle size analyzer, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The antioxidant and reducing power of CuNPs were conducted by %DPPH scavenging and electron transfer-based ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay, respectively. The antibacterial properties of CuNPs were determined in gram-positive, and gram-negative bacteria. The results showed that the CuNPs were spherical in shape with mean particle size 290.5 nm. The zeta potential of the nanoparticles was found to be - 12.3 mV indicating the instability in the colloidal state. The FTIR study confirmed the peaks of phytochemicals present in the PLX and the nanoparticles supporting the use of pineapple peels as stabilizing, reducing and capping agents. Both the DPPH and reducing power assay depicted that the synthesized CuNPs had significant antioxidant activity. However, the synthesized CuNPs had strong inhibitory capacity against both gram-positive and gram-negative test organisms. Thus, the CuNPS could be used for its viable antibacterial potential to preserve fruits, flowers, and vegetables from bacterial contamination.

    Abstract The current research focused on the green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using Duabanga grandiflora leaf extract. The green synthesis of AgNPs was confirmed by the surface plasmon resonance band at 453 nm in a UV-Visible analysis. The formulated AgNPs had a diameter of around 99.72 nm with a spherical shape. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum revealed the bio-reducing potential of phytochemicals present in D. grandiflora, which fundamentally influenced the synthesis of AgNPs. Zeta potential, dynamic light scattering (DLS), scanning electron microscopic (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopic (EDX), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and transmission electron microscopic (TEM) analyses were executed to reveal the physicochemical attributes of the AgNPs. The AgNPs were further investigated for their antioxidant, antidiabetic, anticancer, and antibacterial potential. The DPPH free radical assay revealed the potential radical scavenging capacity (IC
