Abstract In this study, magnetic spinel copper ferrite (CuFe 2 O 4 ) nanostructures were eco-friendly synthesized using Nasturtium officinale extract. Physicochemical properties of these determined by transmission electron microscopy, field emission scanning microscopy (FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), vibrating sample magnetometry, and energy dispersive mapping analysis. XRD patterns conform ...

Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, which causes white mold, is a widespread pathogen. In 2020, new host plant of this fungus, the watercress (Nasturtium officinale) was identified in Hungary an aquaponic system. During cultivation S. sclerotiorum detected on plant, fungus caused 30% yield loss. Fungicides should not be used against fungi systems. Non-chemical methods integrated pest management used. The...

Background: Arsenic is one of the most toxic metalloids. Anemia and leukopenia are common results of poisoning with arsenic, which may happen due to a direct hemolytic or cytotoxic effect on blood cells. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of hydroalcoholic extract of Nasturtium officinale on blood cells and antioxidant enzymes in rats exposed to sodium (meta)arsenite. Methods: 32...
