Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles and Their Biosynthesis: Overview
( MDPI , 2022 , Article Review)Zinc (Zn) is plant micronutrient, which is involved in many physiological functions, and an inadequate supply will reduce crop yields. Its deficiency is the widest spread micronutrient deficiency problem; almost all crops ... -
Advances, limitations, and prospects of biosensing technology for detecting phytopathogenic bacteria
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Phytopathogenic bacteria cause severe economic losses in agricultural production worldwide. The spread rates, severity, and emerging plant bacterial diseases have become serious threat to the sustainability of food sources ... -
Antifungal activity of Zinc nitrate derived nano Zno fungicide synthesized from Trachyspermum ammi to control fruit rot disease of grapefruit
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) is a widely grown citrus and its fruit is affected by a variety of biotic and abiotic stress. Keeping in view the hazardous effects of synthetic fungicides, the recent trend is shifting towards ... -
Response of cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L.) to nitric oxide application under cadmium stress
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Soil contamination with cadmium (Cd) is a persistent threat to crop production worldwide. The present study examined the putative roles of nitric oxide (NO) in improving Cd-tolerance in cauliflower (Brassica oleracea L.). ... -
Neonicotinoid insecticides in the environment: A critical review of their distribution, transport, fate, and toxic effects
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Neonicotinoid insecticides (NENIs) have become increasingly common in recent decades in the control of crop pests and other plant pathogens. It is undeniable that the practice improves crop yield and economic productivity ... -
The Carcinogenic and Non-Carcinogenic Health Risks of Metal(oid)s Bioaccumulation in Leafy Vegetables: A Consumption Advisory
( Frontiers Media , 2021 , Article)High levels of metal(oid)s in soil or food pose a severe health risk to humans. The potential toxicants find their way into the living systems via the food chain, following bioaccumulation in edible plants, including leafy ... -
S‐Fertilizer (Elemental Sulfur) Improves the Phytoextraction of Cadmium through Solanum nigrum L.
( MDPI , 2022 , Article)Soil contamination with toxic heavy metals [such as cadmium (Cd)] is becoming a serious global problem due to the rapid development of the social economy. This study was carried out to assess the beneficial role of two ... -
Effect of Plant Growth Regulators on Callus Induction from Leaf and Petiole explants of Hummeid (Rumex Vesicarius)
( Qatar University Press , 2021 , Poster)Advancement in plant cell culture technology has permitted the increasing interest in harvesting plant metabolites from cell cultures. This technique is based on in vitro propagation of plant callus which contains many ... -
Detecting Organic Nitrogen with 1H-15N HMBC Spectra
( Qatar University Press , 2021 , Poster)NMR spectroscopy has been the most important tool for organic chemistry research, providing detailed structure information. While 1H and 13C NMR spectra were frequently measured, 15N NMR spectra were relatively rare, even ... -
Ecological and Health Risks Assessment of Potentially Toxic Metals and Metalloids Contaminants
( Qatar University Press , 2021 , Poster)Potentially toxic environmental contaminants, including metals and metalloids, are commonly found in emerging economies. At high concentrations, elements such as As, Cr, and Ni can be hazardous and may lead to various ... -
Spectrophotometric Determination of the Honey Bee Quality
( Qatar University Press , 2021 , Poster)Honey produced by bees from nectar in flowers and plants, is an aqueous supersaturated sugar solution, mainly monosaccharide (fructose and glucose) (70%–80%) and water (10%–20%). 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (5-HMF) content in ... -
Ecological and Health Risks Assessment of Potentially Toxic Metals and Metalloids Contaminants: A Case Study of Agricultural Soils in Qatar.
( MDPI , 2021 , Article)In recent years, Qatar has witnessed exponential growth in the human population, urbanization, and increased anthropogenic activities, including agriculture. Potentially toxic environmental contaminants, including metals ...
