Current status of plant metabolite-based fabrication of copper/copper oxide nanoparticles and their applications: a review

Abstract Since green mode of nanoparticles (NPs) synthesis is simple, advantageous and environment friendly relative to chemical and physical procedures, various plant species have been used to fabricate copper and copper oxide nanoparticles (Cu/CuO-NPs) owing to the presence of phytochemicals which often act as capping as well as stabilizing agent

Screening and selection of drought-tolerant rainfed lowland rice seedlings based on early seedling vigor under Polyethylene Glycol-Induced Stress

A field-based drought tolerance screening is time- JH003 consuming and labor-intensive.Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) offers a simple laboratory-based method to simulate drought stress efficiently.This study was conducted to identify and select the five most drought- tolerant genotypes based on vigor-related traits under PEG-induced drought stress.These
