Green synthesis of nanoparticles (Gs-NPs) of antimicrobial compounds from endophytic and antagonistic microbes is a novel strategy for managing plant diseases caused by different pathogens. The present study aims to green synthesize the NPs of water-diffusible antimicrobial metabolites (WDM) from the antagonistic and endophytic bacterial strain 8SE-IF1 (-8SE-IF1) against phytopathogenic oomycetes, fungi, bacteria, and viruses infecting tomato plants. The water-diffusible extract (WDE) of -8SE-IF1 significantly inhibited the mycelial growth of (44.

Introduction: Supracondylar humerus fractures are the most common elbow injuries in children, accounting for approximately 60% of all pediatric elbow fractures, primarily occurring in the first decade of life. These fractures are often associated with complications such as compartment syndrome, neurovascular injury, Volkmann's ischemic contracture, and malunion. The most common complication is cubitus varus deformity.

Subcapsular liver haematoma in pregnancy, a rare and life-threatening condition, is more commonly associated with severe preeclampsia and haemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet count (HELLP) syndrome. The common presenting symptom of subcapsular haematoma is acute-onset upper abdominal pain in patients suffering from preeclampsia; shock is the presenting feature in severe cases of rupture. Here we have discussed a case of subcapsular haematoma associated with HELLP syndrome in a patient who responded to conservative management.

Polyhalite-based POLY4, a multi-nutrient source containing potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sulphur, is increasingly recognised for its potential to improve crop yields and soil health in agricultural systems. It is also been considered as a feasible approach for addressing the deficiency in potassium, calcium, and sulphur within a single application source. The present study aimed to investigate the impact of polyhalite-based POLY4 application, either as a complete or partial substitute for traditional potassium fertiliser and gypsum supplement, on the improvement of peanut () growth and soil quality.

Article Synopsis
  • Breeding Spanish-type groundnuts with 2-3 weeks of fresh seed dormancy improves agricultural sustainability.
  • Researchers evaluated advanced breeding lines using phenotypic and genotypic methods, identifying several lines with high dormancy (over 90%).
  • Key lines like PBS 16021 and PBS 15044 not only showed high dormancy but also excelled in traits like hundred pod weight and kernel weight, making them suitable for future breeding strategies.
