Impact of induced mutation-derived genetic variability, genotype and varieties for quantitative and qualitative traits in Mentha species.

Mutation breeding in the mint species has led to the development of new cultivars with improved genetic variability and desirable traits. This has revolutionized mint cultivation, leading to economic gain for farmers and entrepreneurs.

Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Agents in Artemisia Endophytic Fungi and Their Abundance in Artemisia vulgaris Tissue.

Endophytic fungi from certain plants inhibit the replication of SARS-CoV-2. Stem-based methods are effective for isolating these fungi. This study provides valuable information for developing therapeutic agents against COVID-19.

Antimicrobial effect of hydro-alcoholic extract of apple with and without zinc oxide nanoparticles on Streptococcus Mutans.

This study tested the antimicrobial effect of apple extract with and without ZnO nanoparticles on Streptococcus Mutans bacteria. Apple extract alone had no effect, but with ZnO nanoparticles, it inhibited bacterial growth, though not as effectively as Chlorhexidine.

Investigation of the anti-cancer potential of epoxyazadiradione in neuroblastoma: experimental assays and molecular analysis.

The researchers studied a compound called EAD from seed and found that it effectively suppressed the growth of neuroblastoma, a childhood tumor. EAD inhibited certain proteins (Enolase1 and HSP90) involved in neuroblastoma development, suggesting it could be a potential treatment.
