Potential of Biosynthesized Silver Nanoparticles (AgNPs) to Promote Growth and Control Plant Pathogenic Bacteria of Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera)
Nanotechnology has recently emerged as a rapidly growing area in science, medicine, disinfection, and agriculture. Bacteria pathogens affect lotus agriculture both in crop yield and economic loss. This study aimed to identify pathogen that caused brown leaf spot disease on the lotus and evaluate the antimicrobial efficacy in vitro of silver nanoparticles. Molecular based identification using 16S ribosomal DNA sequences revealed that…

A simple method for in vitro growth stimulation of tomato plantlets (Solanum lycopersicum)…
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) have primarily been utilized as hardening agents for micropropagated plants. While in vitro co-culture models between AMF and plants exist, they are limited to pre-rooted explants and require either placing spores near roots, coating seeds with spores, or promoting root growth through water. Thus, this study aimed to create a simpler in vitro plant-fungal co-culture model…

Microbiology associated with disease on white lotus (Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn.) and application of silver nanoparticles for the control of plant pathogens in vitro
Many bacterial and fungal pathogens are known to affect lotus, which limits both flower quality and yield production. Treatments such as pesticides can reduce pathogens but can result in resistance. This study was conducted to identify the most common fungal, and bacterial pathogens associated with leaf spot diseases of white lotus (Nelumbo nucifera). Molecular–based identification using ITS and 16 s…

Effects of Plant Elicitors on Growth and Gypenosides Biosynthesis in Cell Culture of Giao co lam (Gynostemma pentaphyllum)
Giao co lam (Gynostemma pentaphyllum (Thunb.) Makino) is used in Northeast and Southeast Asia countries for the treatment of various diseases, including hepatitis, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. G. pentaphyllum saponins (gypenosides) are the major components responsible for the pharmacological activities. In this study, different concentrations of abiotic (25–200 μM methyl jasmonate-MeJA and salicylic acid-SA) or biotic elicitors (1–5 g/L yeast…
