Heavy Metals in Soil and Their Impact on Plant Health: A Contamination Study
Abstract: This study investigates heavy metal uptake, tolerance, and sequestration mechanisms in various plants, focusing on crops such as tea, vegetables, and fruit trees that are susceptible to heavy metal contamination. Trace elements in plants, if overabundant, pose toxicity risks by disrupting metabolic and physiological functions. Plants counteract heavy metal complexes by immobilizing them within cell walls or vacuoles or by binding them to organic compounds produced in situ. Elevated levels …

Trends in Process and Application of Herbicides: A Mini Review
Abstract: In agricultural and wilderness settings, herbicides are used to suppress the density of weeds and encourage the growth of beneficial species. Herbicide use in agro-ecosystems has the potential to alter the makeup of weed populations. Herbicides have the potential to improve native species diversity in wildlands. Herbicide use poses a significantly smaller danger to plant biodiversity than habitat degradation and invasive species. This article goes over the definition of weeds, …

Transparent Sodium Silicate Encapsulated Cellulose Nanospheres
Abstract: Transparent cellulose is a research hotspot in current science. Transparent nanocellulose finds applications in energy, environment, defense, catalysis, and medicine. Sodium silicate-modified cellulose fibers were reported to be transparent. There have been various other strategies, like generating sulfate groups on nanocellulose surfaces for inducing transparency in cellulose-based materials. However, the synthesis of transparent nanospheres of cellulose with encapsu-lated sodium silicate has never been reported in the literature. Here in, for …

Comparative Analysis of Essential Oil Composition and Antioxidant Activity in Carissa carandas L. Fruits from Diverse Indian Regions Using GC-MS Metabolomics
Abstract: Essential oils of Carissa carandas fruits collected from six different regions in India characterized by diverse climatic conditions were investigated for their chemical composition, oil yield diversity and antioxidant activity. The lowest (0.08%) and the highest (19.32%) of each compound in essential oils were demonstrated in fruit samples from Dehradun and Rajasthan, respectively. GC-MS based analysis identified 33 compounds. The main components were limonene, β-myrcene, γ-terpinene, β-linalool, terpinen-4-ol, eugenol, β-element, …
