The present study describes the green synthesis of TiO2 nanoparticles using Sesbania Grandiflora and Solanum nigrum leaf extracts. characterisation synthesised is carried out XRD FTIR. photo catalytic degradation Rhodamine-B dye carry under sunlight irradiation by UV- Vis spectrophotometer. Among synthesized catalysts, SG/TiO2 was found to be best for photocatalytic dye. degraded water also tes...

Various in vitro grown tissues (non-regenerative callus, regenerative callus and microshoot derived leaves) of Solanum nigrum L. were cultured under salinity stress (0-150 mM NaCl) for enhanced production of solasodine, a steroidal alkaloid and an alternative to diosgenin, which is used as a precursor for the commercial production of steroidal drugs. The role of plant growth regulators and vari...

Phytochemicals are widely used as biocontrol agent against vector mosquitoes. The present study was undertaken to isolate and evaluate the mosquitocidal activity of various extracts of berries of S. nigrum against Culex quinquefasciatus. Crude and chloroform: methanol (1:1, v/v) extracts of fresh, mature, green berries of S. nigrum were tested against Cx. quinquefasciatus. The lethal concentrat...

A new species Pseudocercospora solanicola is discovered causing severe leaf spot disease on Solanum nigrum from Sonebhadra. Species described and illustrated based morphology, molecular sequence analysis phylogeny of the large subunit (LSU) internal transcribed spacer region nuclear ribosomal RNA (rRNA) gene. Morphologically, has similarity with allied in but differs having black circular, velv...

Comparative transcriptomics between species can provide valuable understanding of plant-pathogen interactions. Here, we focus on wild Solanum species and potato clones with varying degree of resistance against Phytophthora infestans, which causes the devastating late blight disease in potato. The transcriptomes of three wild Solanum species native to Southern Sweden, Solanum dulcamara, Solanum ...

It has been proposed that non-protein thiols and organic acids play a major role in cadmium phytoavailability distribution plants. In the Cd-hyperaccumulator Solanum nigrum non-accumulator melongena, of these ligands accumulation detoxification mechanisms Cd are debated. this study, we used X-ray absorption spectroscopy to investigate speciation plants (roots, stem, leaves) soils for their cult...
