Lignin-Grafted-Poly(lactic- co -glycolic) Acid Nanoparticles as a Delivery System for CuS-C18 Nanoparticles Translocation inSoybean ( Glycine max ) and Lettuce ( Lactuca sativa )

Abstract Translocation of lignin-grafted poly(lactic-co-glycolic) acid (PLGA) nanoparticles (LNPs) and CuS-C18-loaded LNPs was investigated in hydroponically grown soybean (Glycine max) and lettuce (Lactuca sativa). Fluorescent polymer characterization using NMR and FTIR spectros...

Adaptive Sequencing Resolves Bacterial Genomes from the Mosquito Microbiome: Linking Function to Larval Development

ABSTRACT Adaptive sequencing was employed as a host DNA depletion approach to improve microbial sequence recovery from Aedes aegypti larvae. This methodology was applied to a colonization experiment where axenic larvae were reared in water collected from three habitats allowing f...

Nanoscale Strategiesfor Improving Plant SalinityTolerance

Abstract Soil salinity poses a major threat to global food security, impairing plant physiology through ionic toxicity, osmotic stress, and oxidative damage. However, conventional breeding and genetic engineering approaches face limitations due to the complexity of stress respons...
