Polymer-encapsulated nanocomposite has been proven to have ameliorative effects in the treatment of cancer. The focused objective of the present research is to fabricate polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based flower selenium nanocomposite (CFF-SeNC). The fabricated CFF-SeNC was characterised using a UV-visible spectrophotometer, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM)-energy dispersive x-ray (EDX), and x-ray diffractometer (XRD) analysis.

Introduction: The emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogenic bacteria has become a major global health concern, with the increasing prevalence of infections that are difficult to treat with conventional antibiotics. As a result, there is a critical need for alternative antimicrobial agents that can effectively control bacterial infections and combat the growing problem of antibiotic resistance.
Materials And Methods: In this study, the antibacterial properties of lemon juice mediated zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) was evaluated against oral pathogens.

Red sorghum, a versatile crop with high nutritional and biochemical value, was evaluated for agronomic and grain quality traits using 27 genotypes across diverse environmental zones of Tamil Nadu. The data collected were subjected to Additive Main Effects and Multiplicative Interaction (AMMI) and Genotype-by-Environment Interaction (GGE) biplot models to recommend a specific genotype for the particular locality. The analysis of variation of the pooled data revealed a significant interaction effect between genotype and environment for the majority of the examined traits.
