Gamma irradiation-induced metabolic reprogramming as a determinant of radiation tolerance in thai rice germplasm for space agriculture

Abstract Radiation beyond Earth’s atmosphere poses a major challenge for space agriculture by affecting seed viability and plant establishment. As a controllable terrestrial analogue of cosmic radiation, gamma (γ) irradiation provides a practical model for evaluating crop resilie...

Sustainable gamma radiation–assisted synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles on acrylic fabric for durable antibacterial and UV-protective performance

This study demonstrates the successful synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) on acrylic (PAN) fabrics via gamma radiation. PAN fabrics were padded with an alkaline zinc nitrate solution of 0.1 and 0.2 M, before treatment with 2% w/v of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA). Gamma r...
