Arsenic is a ubiquitous toxic metalloid, the concentration of which has reached dangerous levels in many areas of the world due to various anthropogenic activities. Exposure to high levels of arsenic can cause serious health problems including cancer. Bioremediation offers an inexpensive and eco-friendly solution to such problems. Purple non sulfur bacteria are metabolically diverse, …

Low-dose ϒ-irradiation can stimulate seed performance in a biphasic (hormetic) manner, yet most studies remain descriptive and lack quantitative comparability across genotypes and traits. We analyzed three commercial varieties of Nicotiana tabacum L. (Burley, Dark, Virginia) exposed to eight doses (0–20 Gy) and evaluated four endpoint families: Day 9 categorical responses (germination, hypocotyl, cotyledon), kinetic …

Jasminum sambac and Jasminum grandiflorum, two jasmine species, have diverse applications in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. This study was designed to assess the antioxidant, antidiabetic, bactericidal, and hemolytic properties of aqueous leaf extracts of Jasminum sambac and Jasminum grandiflorum. The antioxidant activity, total phenolic content (TPC), and total flavonoid content (TFC) were evaluated by …

Allelochemicals found in plants are gaining favor as biostimulants and alternative growth regulators in agriculture. Withania coagulans and Cassia fistula are known to produce numerous secondary metabolites, such as phenolic compounds, that can regulate seed germination and seedling growth. This study investigated the allelopathic effects of aqueous extracts from Withania coagulans seeds and Cassia fistula …
