ABSTRACT Plant viruses are so harmful to crops. It is an urgent need to develop modern, environment‐friendly, and sustainable plant viral epidemic‐management strategies that are safe for both human health and the environment. The field of nanotechnology is gaining increased interest in plant science.

ABSTRACT The expanding demand for platinum group elements (PGEs) in industrial and medical applications has led to their increasing accumulation in aquatic sediments. However, their ecological impacts remain poorly understood, particularly for sediment‐dwelling invertebrates. This study assessed the toxicity of platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd) across a

Antimicrobial and Cytotoxic Activities of Biogenic Nanoparticles Produced by Cyanobacteria
The article reviews the green synthesis of biogenic nanoparticles produced by cyanobacteria, highlighting their antimicrobial and cytotoxic properties. These nanoparticles, formed intra‐ or extracellularly, show activity against Gram‐positive and Gram‐negative bacteria as well as fungi and can induce apoptosis in tumor cells.

Bioavailability of pesticides in freshwater sediments [PDF]
In ecological risk assessment standardized sediment toxicity tests are used to predict the hazard of chemicals for sediment-living organisms. Feeding is a prerequisite in these long-term tests to avoid starvation of test organisms.

ABSTRACT Propolis is a polyphenol‐rich natural resin with well‐documented antioxidant activity; however, its practical application is restricted by poor aqueous solubility and limited stability. Herein, propolis‐based organic–inorganic hybrid nanoflowers (Prp‐Nfs) were synthesized by integrating a propolis extract into a Cu3(PO4)2·3H2O matrix under ...
