“…Nanoparticles containing essential oils can be prepared using various materials, including metals, semiconductors or polymers (chitosan, cyclodextrin, pectin, starch cellulose, polycaprolactone, alginate and polyethylene glycol (PEG)), [44]. Among these, PEG is most frequently used in agriculture for different purposes [45,46] (Ibrahim, 2020, Antofie and Sava, 2021).…”

The need to use environmentally friendly substances in agriculture for pest control has become increasingly urgent in recent years. This was generated by humanity’s awareness of the harmful effects of chemicals with increased persistence, which accumulated in nature and harmed living beings. Essential oils are among the most important biopesticides and could significantly contribute to the expansion of ecological agriculture, replacing traditional methods. However, for judicious use, it is necessary to have a thorough knowledge of the mechanisms by which these oils act on both harmful and useful insects. An important step in transitioning from theory to practice is adapting essential oil application technologies for open fields, overcoming the difficulties created by their high volatility and low remanence, which results in a rapid reduction in the toxic effect. The review proposes an in-depth, up-to-date analysis of the existing literature on these subjects, aiming to provide researchers with some potential future study directions and practitioners with a solid base of information regarding the interaction between insects and essential oils.

“…However, tobacco is susceptible to drought stress. Drought stress has long posed a threat to the effective production of N. tabacum, particularly the water deficiency, which has greatly restricted the yielding and quality formation [24][25][26]. N. tabacum provides a valuable platform for investigating the intricate mechanisms underlying responses to drought stress.…”

The development and growth of plants are significantly impacted by adverse surroundings, particularly drought conditions. The yield and quality of plants, in particular, are heavily reliant on the presence of favorable growth conditions. Here, we performed comprehensive research to investigate phenotype, physiological characteristics, transcriptomic and metabolomic changes in Nicotiana tabacum (N. tabacum) in responses to drought stress (DS). This work aimed to investigate the detailed responses of N. tabacum to DS under different drought conditions (CK, well-watered; LD, light drought; MD, moderate drought and SD, severe drought). N. tabacum grew normally under CK but was inhibited under LD, MD and SD stress; the relative water content, transpiration rate and protective enzyme activity significantly influenced under DS. In the LD/CK, MD/CK and SD/CK comparison groups, there were 7483, 15558 and 16876 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), respectively, and 410, 485 and 523 differentially accumulated metabolites (DAMs), respectively. The combined analysis of transcriptomic and metabolomic data unveiled the significant involvement of phenylpropanoid biosynthesis in the N. tabacum's response to drought stress. These findings characterized the key metabolites and genes in responses to drought stress in N. tabacum, hence offering valuable insights into the underlying mechanisms driving these responses to DS and maintaining plant health under climate change.

Background: Tobacco intake has led to negative impacts on the neurological and endocrine systems, possibly due to the compromised immune system that is linked to tobacco use. Despite the long history of using the tobacco plant (Nicotiana tabacum L.), cigarettes dominate the global market, making up 96% of all sales of manufactured tobacco products. Despite being taken in smokeless form, reports indicate that the plant is toxic and has negatively affected several bodily cellular activities. This study looked at how an alcoholic extract made from Nicotiana tabacum leaf affected the Wistar male rats' reproductive parameters. According to estimates from the World Health Organization, tobacco usage resulted in 100 million deaths worldwide throughout the 20th century, and 5.4 million fatalities in 2004. Except for humans, non-human primates, and guinea pigs, the livers of most mammalian species synthesis vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, a six- carbon lactone molecule. Scurvy, also known as scorbutus, is a life-threatening disorder caused by a shortage of vitamin C. It can only be cured via proper treatment. Therefore, humans must consume vitamin C to ensure their survival. The testis is the primary male reproductive organ. The structure is analogous to the ovaries in females. The testes are the main endocrine and reproductive organs in the male body. They generate sex steroid hormones and mature haploid sperm. The testes are located in two pairs within the scrotum, with the epididymis situated at the back edge.  Material and Method: The extract was obtained from the plant's leaf using the process of alcoholic extraction. The experiment utilized a sample of 30 male Wistar rats, which were assigned randomly to five groups: A, B, C, D, and E. Each group consisted of six rats with an average weight of 115g.  Result: Changes in body weight, testis weight, semen quality, and morphology were all studied in this investigation. Furthermore, testicular histology evaluations were carried out. Overall, the alcoholic extract derived from the leaf of Nicotiana tabacum had a significant negative impact on various male reproductive indices. This study demonstrates that ascorbic acid possesses prospective and restorative effects against testicular damage caused by the alcoholic extract of Nicotiana tabacum leaf. However, it should be noted that these effects were not fully observed at the current dosage. Further investigation is necessary to fully understand the long-lasting effects on reproductive health.
