  • Foliar Application of a Methanolic Extract of Ricinus communis L. Modulates Growth, Yield, Photosynthetic Pigments, and Antioxidant Capacity of Jalapeño Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) Under Open Field Conditions

    International Journal of Plant Biology, 2026
    The jalapeño pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) is a crop of great economic and nutritional importance worldwide; however, increasing yield and quality under conditions of reduced synthetic inputs remains a significant challenge, mainly due to restrictions in plant nutrition and stress response capacity; in this context, plant-based biostimulants, such as Ricinus communis extracts, are of particular interest due to their potential to modulate plant metabolism, promote growth, and favor the accumulation of bioactive compounds. In this study, the effect of a foliar-applied biostimulant derived from a methanolic extract of Ricinus communis L. on the physiological, agronomic, and biochemical parameters of jalapeño peppers was evaluated under open field conditions. A randomized complete design with five treatments was established: three extract concentrations (T50: 50 mg L−1, T75: 75 mg L−1, and T100: 100 mg L−1), a commercial biostimulant (Pepton 85/16 ®), and an absolute control. Significant differences (α ≤ 0.05) were observed between treatments T50, T75, and T100 with the application of castor bean and the absolute control in stem diameter, fruit number, yield, and polar and equatorial fruit diameter, as well as phenols, flavonoids, and antioxidant capacity (ABTS and DPPH). The application of R. communis extract (T50, T75, and T100) significantly improved plant performance compared to the control, particularly in yield (up to 270%), fruit number (73%), shoot biomass (up to 38%), and root development (up to 32%). Furthermore, increases in chlorophyll content and in antioxidant-related compounds were observed, including phenols, flavonoids, ABTS, and DPPH (up to 17%). Spearman correlation analysis revealed strong associations between structural and metabolic variables, highlighting the relationship between stem diameter, fruit traits, and bioactive compound accumulation, as well as the link between chlorophyll content and reproductive performance. The 1H NMR analysis indicated the presence of secondary metabolites such as ricin, unsaturated fatty acids, and phenolic compounds; however, their isolation and relationship with the biostimulant activity of the extract require further specific studies. Overall, foliar application of R. communis extract improved the growth, productivity, and biochemical attributes of jalapeño pepper, highlighting its potential as a sustainable alternative for crop management.
  • Bacopa monnieri as a Potential Natural Acetylcholinesterase Inhibitor for Neurodegenerative Disease Management
    Amanulla Khan
    Research Journal of Biotechnology, 2026
    Neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and Parkinson’s disease (PD), present major global health challenges due to their progressive pathology and limited therapeutic interventions. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors are commonly prescribed to mitigate cognitive decline; however, their long-term efficacy is hindered by adverse effects and diminishing potency. Bacopa monnieri, an Ayurvedic medicinal herb from the Scrophulariaceae family, has gained attention for its neuroprotective, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Recent in silico and in vitro studies indicate that bacopaside X, a key phytoconstituent of Bacopa monnieri, exhibits significant AChE inhibitory activity, enhancing cognitive function and neuronal protection. This review systematically examines molecular docking analyses, biochemical investigations and preclinical data to assess the potential of Bacopa monnieri as a natural alternative for managing neurodegenerative diseases.
  • Introduction to Plant miRNAs

    Mirnaomics and Stress Management in Plants, 2024
    MicroRNA (miRNA), which was just recently discovered, is now acknowledged as one of the main regulating gene families in eukaryotic cells. Numerous miRNAs have been reported in viruses, plants, and animals, and undoubtedly more will be discovered. These short 22-nt RNAs promote mRNA degradation, translational repression, or both by selective base-pairing with mRNAs. miRNAs run extremely intricate regulatory networks because they can target a wide variety of mRNAs, frequently in conjunction with other miRNAs. Since their expression varies depending on the stage of plant growth, they are mostly transcribed as distinct transcriptional units. Although the roles and regulatory networks of plant miRNAs are widely explored throughout developmental stages and various environmental stress situations, this is still a work in progress. MiRNAs in plants are crucial for growth and development, primary and secondary metabolism, coping with environmental stresses, and external control. A better understanding of miRNA regulation and functioning might provide insights to suffice the food demand of the human race which is growing at an alarming pace. The technology of microRNA interference (miRNAi) can be very effective in agricultural applications and functional research.

    Plant Science Today, 2023
    Ischaemumpilosum (Kleinex Willd.) a weed among the grass is reported for ethno-medicinal practices for treatment of various treatments for human and domestic animals. The current work deals with phytochemical analysis in different parts of plants to find out bioactive compounds. The first-time reported results onI. pilosumreveal the significant phytochemicals by using preliminary phytochemical analysis, UV Visible spectral technique, FTIR analysis and GC-MS analysis. The preliminary phytochemical test confirms the presence of alkaloids, anthraquinone, cardiac glycosides, coumarins, flavonoids, glycosides, phenols, reducing sugars, saponins, steroids, tannin and triterpenes in Ischaemumpilosum.UV Visible spectra and FTIR gives the ranges of absorptions and functional group like Carboxylic acids (O-H) at 2956,92 cm-1, Alkanes (O-H) at 2849,89 cm-1, Aldehydes (C=O) at 1735,92 cm-1, Aromatic Rings (C=C) at 1462,95 cm-1, Alkanes (C-H) at 1377,97 cm-1, Esters (C-O) 1166,95 cm-1and Phenyl Ring (C-H) 758,97 cm-1. The GC-MS analysis related twenty-one compounds like Phenol, 4-bis (1,1-dimethylethyl), Pentanoic acid, 5-hydroxy, 2,4-di-t-butylphenyl esters, E-15-Heptadecenal, 1-Hexadecanol, n-Hexadecanoic acid, l (+)-Ascorbic acid 2,6-dihexadecanoate, Palmitic anhydride, Cycloeicosane, Cis-13-Octadecenoic acid and Triacontane from Ischaemumpilosumleaves extract.
  • Plant Disease Detection using ResNet

    Deep learning and computer vision have recently emerged as useful methods for the phenotyping of sick plant tissue. The majority of prior research focused on illness categorization based on images. In conventional agricultural procedures, the diagnosis of illnesses affecting rice plants is performed by professionals in a manner that is very subjective, while laboratory testing takes a significant amount of time. As a direct result of this, there is a decrease in agricultural productivity, which results in economic loss for farmers. In order to find a solution to this problem, there is a pressing need to create methods that are quick and accurate in identifying and categorizing illnesses that affect rice plants. In the field of agriculture, the development of image-based automated systems for the categorization of rice plant diseases has become an intriguing and expanding study subject. When it comes to classifying rice plant diseases, color is one of the most crucial factors. Within the scope of this investigation, an image-based method is provided for classifying rice plant diseases based on color characteristics. Deep convolutional neural systems consume recently realized astonishing results in a number of applications, one of which is the classification of tomato plants that have been affected with many illnesses. Deep convolutional neural networks with a variety of residual networks underpin our work. In conclusion, this research study has conducted disease classification based on tomato leaves by employing a pre-trained deep CNN in conjunction with the residual network. The result that ResNet-50 produced demonstrates a remarkable result with an accuracy of 96.35%
