Aflatoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by Aspergillus spp. found in staple food
and feed commodities worldwide. Aflatoxins are carcinogenic, teratogenic, and mutagenic …

Ultraviolet (UV) radiation has been considered a deleterious agent that living organisms
must avoid. However, many of the acclimation changes elicited by UV induce a wide range …

Secondary metabolites (SMs) found in medicinal plants are one of main sources of drugs,

The present work aims to explore the potential to improve quality of purslane microgreens by
combining water salinity and LED lighting during their cultivation. Purslane plants were …

Background The effects of different photoperiods on plant phytochemical synthesis can be
improved by adjusting the daily light integral. Photoperiod is one of the most important …

We have prepared waste curry leaves extract derived carbon dots (CL-C dots) by microwave
assisted method. The synthesized CL-C dots were well characterized by many techniques …
