Metal oxide nanoparticles (NPs) produced by green chemistry approaches have received notable attention because of their significant physic-chemical properties and their remarkable uses in the area of nanotechnology. Currently, the sustainable improvement of synthesizing NPs by distinctive parts of plant extract has become a major focus of scientists and researchers because of these NPs have min...

Objective(s): To evaluate the influences of aqueous extracts of plant parts (stem, leaves, and root) of Portulaca oleracea L. on bioformation of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs).Materials and Methods: Synthesis of silver nanoparticles by different plant part extracts of Portulaca oleracea L. was carried out and formation of nanoparticles were confirmed and evaluated using UV-Visible spectroscopy an...

Cadmium (Cd) is one of the most toxic non-essential and mobile metallic elements found in soils which affects plant growth. A greenhouse experiment was carried out to determine the genotypic differences in effects of different levels of Cd application on yield and on the uptake of Cd and other nutrients in various Brassica plant parts. The B. juncea (Indian mustard) genotypes produced higher bi...

An HPTLC densitometric method has been developed to estimate apigenin in Turnera aphrodisiaca aerial and its segregated parts (leaves, stems, flowers and fruits) so that plant can be standardized on the basis of its bioactive marker. The apigenin content in methanol extract of T. aphrodisiaca aerial parts was found to be about fourteen times less than acid hydrolyzed methanol extract of the pla...
