“…Previous articles on the oxidation of different Cu NPs have reported that those studies are incomplete, and learning about the initial oxidation and oxidation progress through time in different environmental conditions is needed [37]. The value of this knowledge is to learn the oxidation degree of the Cu NPs after storage and to know the role of the coating in the chemical stability [38][39].…”

Introduction: Metallic nanoparticles (NPs) have attracted great interest because of their unique physical and chemical properties and among which copper nanoparticles are used for its low cost, better efficacy and environmentally friendly. Musa sapientum has been considered as one of the best medicinal value plants and can be used for the treatment of various periodontal diseases. The aim of the study is to synthesize and characterize Musa sapientum mediated copper nanoparticles. Materials and Methods: The Copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) were synthesized using Musa sapientum extract and characterization was done by UV-Visible Spectroscopy and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). Results: The results confirmed that the synthesized Musa sapientum mediated nanoparticle was eco-friendly and non-toxic. The peak value has been centered at 75 nm, which has been mainly associated with absorbance of CuNPs. Absorbance rate increases with increase in wavelength. The formation of CuNPs as well as their morphological dimensions in the TEM study demonstrate that the average size is from 5.67 – 9.10 nm. The shapes of the CuNPs are proved to be spherical. TEM analysis reveals that the copper nanoparticles are predominantly spherical. The overall morphology of the copper nanoparticles produced by reduction of cu2+ ions with 2Mm CUSO4 is composed of almost uniform nanoparticles. Conclusion: In this study, a simple, biological and low-cost approach was done for the preparation of copper nanoparticles using stem extract of Musa sapientum. Thus Musa sapientum mediated copper nanoparticles can be subjected to the various other biological activities such as antibacterial, antifungal, cytotoxic evaluation to know the efficiency of these nanoparticles.

“…The common fig tree, Ficus carica L., is a deciduous fruit tree species belonging to the Moraceae family. It originated in the Mediterranean region (Patil, 2020); however, it is now widely cultivated in regions of the world with subtropical/ temperate climates (Usai et al, 2020).…”

Correlation of genome methylation of fig tree accessions with natural nematode and rust incidence

et al. 2024

Commercial fig tree cultivation in Brazil involves a single cultivar, ‘Roxo-de-Valinhos’. The use of a single cultivar results in serious diseases and related problems. The aim of this study was to characterize fig accessions by analyzing the natural root-knot nematode and leaf rust incidence in relation to the epigenomic profile of the plant, since epigenetic variations affect plant–pathogen interactions. All plants were attacked by nematodes, indicating susceptibility; Meloidogyne incognita was the root-knot nematode species involved. Joint analysis of data showed that methylation and leaf rust incidence were correlated when observed in the same phenological phase, presenting initial evidence of the same factorial pressure loads in genotypes, suggesting similar behavior within these genotypes.

Many attempts have been made for green synthesis of metal oxide nanoparticles; revealing the importance of plant extracts in reducing metal/ metal oxide precursor to nanoparticles and their applications in various scientific domains. Cajanus cajan (L.) Mill sp. (Pigeon pea), one of the pulses in human diet is legume plant, belonging to family Fabaceae or Papilionaceae. This plant has been reported to contain several phytochemicals like flavonoids glycosides, stilbenes. This article focus on applications of Cajanus cajan extract in fabrication of nanoparticles of various metals and metal oxides like silver, gold, titanium dioxide, zinc oxide. In respective research attempts, these nanoparticles were evaluated for one or more applications like anti-microbial activity and/or photocatalytic activity. Use of polar extract of Cajanus cajan indicated involvement of its polar phyto-compounds in reducing the metal source and stabilizing the nanoparticles.
