The present study aims to compare the anti-biofilm activity of green synthesized silver nanoparticles by using the two indigenous plants Madhuca longifolia and Pimenta dioica. Among several metallic nanopar-ticles that are involved in biomedical application, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are engrossing all the attentions from researchers green synth...
The nonmetallic compound boron executes a requisite role in the advancement of new meristematic cells in plants. Micronutrient boron is a very special element because it has a key aspect in the flowering and fertilization phenomenon. The most crucial performance of boron in plants is to enhance the pollination and fruit setting. It is reported that...
For the estimation of Impact of inadequate concentration of boron in seed storage proteins content in oilseed crops, a sand culture experiment was designed and all the three crops i.e. soyabean, mustard and linseed were grown under sufficient and insufficient boron treatment till maturity. Seed germination and seed storage protein concentration was...
To study the effect of boron deficiency and toxicity on the reproductive development and pollen-stigma interaction in sunflower (Helianthus annuus var. Sungold), plants were raised in sand culture under glass house condition till maturity at 0.033 (deficient), 0.33 (sufficient) and 3.3 (toxic) mg B L⁻¹ supply. The effect of deficiency and toxicity...
To determine the effect of boron (B) on growth and ascorbate-non-protein thiols-cysteine in the leaves and roots of linseed (Linum usitatissimum L. var R-552), seedlings were raised in solution culture with variable boron supply (0.0033, 0.33 and 33 mg B L⁻¹) under controlled conditions in green house. Optimum seedling growth was observed at 0.33 m...
A study was conducted to determine the physiological and biochemical effects of boron in seedlings of mustard (Brassica juncea L. var Varuna). For this seeds were sown in petridishes with varying concentrations of boron (0, 0.33, 3.3, 33, 330 mM) in seed germinator. Seed germination and vigor index was found to be decreased and percentage phytotoxi...
Critical boron concentration and response of hydrolytic enzymes in maize (Zea mays L. var. 32-A09) plants was assessed under controlled conditions. Maize (Zea mays var. 32-A09) plants were grown in sand culture under glass house condition till maturity with application of boron ranging from 0.033 to 6.6 mg L-1. Plants of maize had higher requiremen...
The effect of boron (B) on growth, water status and oxidative damage was investigated in the leaves and roots of 7-day-old seedlings of Brassica juncea var. Varuna. For this seedlings of Brassica were grown in solution culture with variable boron supply (0.033, 0.33, 3.3 and 33 mg B L−1) under controlled conditions in green house. Photosynthetic pi...
Catharanthus roseus L., a medicinally important plant was grown till maturity at varying levels of boron (0.033, 0.066, 0.33 and 3.3 mg B L−1) supply. Optimum yield was observed in plants receiving 0.33 mg B L−1. Plants receiving deficient boron showed growth reduction and visual symptoms such as chlorosis and cupping of young emerging leaves and a...

... This inefficacy of antibiotic is related to the failure of the drug to penetrate the biofilm structure [90]. Previously biofilms of E. coli were inhibited up to 70.98% by Pimento dioica silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as effective alternative treatments [91]. However, Chitosan NCS can damage the biofilms by enhanced penetration. ...

... A large amount of Seed storage 2S albumin superfamily protein is synthesized at the late stage of seed development [52,53]. The protein content and the degradation rate of stored protein are closely related to seed vigor [54]. ...
... The size of anther and its pollen-producing capacity was also reduced along with a decrease in pollen viability. In sunflower, the toxicity of boron also retarded the reproductive growth and development of pollen and stigma, but the effect was not as severe as in deficient plants (Archana and Pandey, 2021). Decreased size of the anther, pollenproducing capacity, number and size of pollen grains, and poor pollen viability were observed in boron deficient plants of mustard (data not published). ...

... The lower globulin content in pepper seeds, in the treatment with calcium plus boron application, may be related to boron toxicity. Although boron acts in the synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins, excess of this nutrient causes an increase in ribonuclease activity, disturbing the mechanism of synthesis of this protein (Archana & Pandey, 2014;Lee et al., 2015). ...
... processes, nucleic acid/amino acid/lipid metabolism, cell wall and cytoskeleton modifications, stress responses and cell transport. This impairs the ability to cope with oxidative stress and causes cell death (Archana and Pandey, 2016). Our study agrees with these findings and suggests that B surplus severely increases B concentration in 'Aohan' seeds, resulting in osmotic stress and consequent seed falling (Chen et al., 2020). ...
... The SOD, POD, and CAT activities were higher in the roots and leaves of AMF-inoculated seedlings than in those without AMF, indicating that AMF could improve antioxidant enzyme activity and protect plants from adversity [40,41]. The SOD, POD, and CAT activities in roots and leaves were significantly higher in B-deficiency-treated seedlings than in normal-B-treated Brassica seedlings, which is consistent with the findings of Pandey and Archana [42]. Another study also confirmed that AMF can effectively improve the activities of SOD, POD, and CAT in the leaves of tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) and further improve the activities of plant antioxidant enzymes to alleviate toxic effects and enhance plant stress resistance [43]. ...
... Therefore, it was assumed that boron indirectly affects the tomato fruit yield by improving the nitrogen and calcium uptake. However, the range between deficiency and toxicity levels of boron is small compared to other nutrients (Pandey and Archana, 2011). In this study, we have shown that the high concentration (150 mL L -1 ) of liquid organic boron fertilizer produced lower fruit yield compared to the low concentration (25 mL L 1 ) ( Table 5). ...
