An aqueous extract of the shade-dried parts Asparagus aethiopicus L. and densiflorus (Kunth) Jessop was used to synthesize copper (CuO) nanoparticles (Cu NPs). UV-visible spectroscopy performed assess formation Cu NPs. Maximum absorbance obtained between 310–360 nm, confirming CuO NPs were effective against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853), a gram-negative human pathogenic bacterium. The bac...

In asparagus, current cultivars are mostly hybrids (known as clonal hybrids) derived from crosses between two parents, female and male, with good combining ability.
