Synergistic role of microbiologically synthesized nanoparticles and PGPR in sustainable agriculture: a critical review.

In recent years, agriculture has undergone transformative innovations to enhance crop productivity, resilience, and nutritional value. With increasing concerns over food security, environmental degradation, and soil health, there is growing emphasis on sustainable agricultural practices. Among these strategies, the use of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have emerged as promising solutions.

Notch signaling mediated repressive effects of resveratrol in inducing caspasedependent apoptosis in MCF-7 breast cancer cells.

Resveratrol, a potent anticancer bioactive compound, has been shown to trigger apoptosis in numerous cancer cells. Although Notch signaling promotes breast cancer apoptosis, it is unclear whether resveratrol induces apoptosis in MCF-7 cells via influencing the Notch pathway. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of resveratrol on modulating Notch signaling targets and provide critical information for employing resveratrol in breast cancer therapy.

Nanotechnology-driven improvisation of red algae-derived carrageenan for industrial and bio-medical applications.

Algae biomass has been recognized as feedstock with diverse application including production of biofuel, biofertilizer, animal feed, wastewater treatment and bioremediation. In addition, algae species are a potential reservoir of metabolites and polymers with potential to be utilized for biomedicine, healthcare and industrial purposes. Carrageenan is one such medicinally and industrially significant polysaccharide which is extracted from red algae species (Kappaphycus alvarezii and Eucheuma denticulatum, among the common species).

Ethno-pharmacological insulin signaling induction of aqueous extract of Syzygium paniculatum fruits in a high-fat diet induced hepatic insulin resistance.

Ethnopharmacological Relevance: The ethnopharmacological significance of the fruits of Syzygium paniculatum Gaertn (Magenta Cherry) is widely recognized in the Indian traditional medicine system to treat various disorders, such as diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, hypertension, and cardiovascular problems.

Aim Of The Study: This research work investigated the supplementation of the aqueous extract of S. paniculatum fruit (AESPF) on liver function; the molecular effects on the expression of the protein of insulin receptor (IR) and insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS-1) in high-fat diet-induced hepatic insulin resistance in the rat model.

Evolution in crop improvement approaches and future prospects of molecular markers to CRISPR/Cas9 system.

The advent of genetic selection and genome modification method assure about a real novel reformation in biotechnology and genetic engineering. With the extensive capabilities of molecular markers of them being stable, cost-effective and easy to use, they ultimately become a potent tool for variety of applications such a gene targeting, selection, editing, functional genomics; mainly for the improvisation of commercially important crops. Three main benefits of molecular marker in the field of agriculture and crop improvement programmes first, reduction of the duration of breeding programmes, second, they allow creation of new genetic variation and genetic diversity of plants and third most promising benefit is help in production of engineered plant for disease resistance, or resistance from pathogen and herbicides.

Low-temperature catalyst based Hydrothermal liquefaction of harmful Macroalgal blooms, and aqueous phase nutrient recycling by microalgae.

The present study investigates the hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of harmful green macroalgal blooms at a temperature of 270 °C with, and without a catalyst with a holding time of 45 min. The effect of different catalysts on the HTL product yield was also studied. Two separation methods were used for recovering the biocrude oil yield from the solid phase.

Evaluation, comparison of different solvent extraction, cell disruption methods and hydrothermal liquefaction of macroalgae for biofuel production.

Cell disruption and lipid extraction methods for macroalgae are not well reported. Therefore, we compared various lipid extraction methods and extraction efficiency of various solvents to improve lipid yields from fresh water macroalgae. Lipid extraction was done by 2 methods viz.
