<p><em><span>Humans are dependent on plants in a variety of ways. Plants are expanding at a rapid rate in response to rising human and animal demands around the planet. Farmers faced numerous obstacles in cultivating their crops, including the need to preserve their plants from various illnesses, which resulted in significant financial losses. A plant is only considered healthy if it performs its biological functions to the best of its genetic capacity and so retains a similar appearance to other healthy plants. When one or more physiological activities of a healthy or normal plant are disrupted beyond a particular threshold from the usual deviation due to certain reasons (animate or inanimate stimuli; pathogens), the plant is deemed ill. Agricultural experts have been attempting for decades to develop a rapid medication system that can quickly classify plant illnesses and provide immediate therapy. In this paper, we provide a deep learning-based model for diagnosing leaf disease using the images of “potato early blight”, “potato late blight”, and “potato healthy”. Diseases cause significant losses to farmers that are interested in and involved in potato cultivation. This research uses the CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) model with transfer learning to avert these financial losses and give correct cures.</span></em></p>Nitin ProdduturiVijay NalliNikhil Reddy MandadiHanumantha Rao P.Anooja Nawab

https://chemical.journalspub.info/index.php?journal=IJPP&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=1348
<p>The mixed vanadium-titanium oxoalkoxide (VTOA) nanoparticles with molar ratios V/(Ti+V) = 0, 0.01, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.25 and 0.30 were synthesized by the sol-gel method. The nanoparticle sizes of different compositions were in the range between 2.2 and 3.6 nm as measured via dynamic light scattering (DLS) method. Thin films coated on glass beads and powders were prepared of VTOA nanoparticles and used after the heat treatment at 450 and 500C for 4 hours as photocatalyst to decompose representative pollutants methylene blue, paracetamol, and phenol in aqueous solutions under UV-light and natural sunlight. The highest activity under both UV-A and natural sun light illuminations showed photocatalysts with the composition V/(Ti+V) = 0.10. The effective activity of the photocatalysts by varying matrix, pH and number of cycles was investigated. The best performance showed nanopowder with 10 mol% V removing 95, 92, and 86% of MB pollutant from aqueous solutions. The results permit to conclude about photocatalyst stability in the pollutant<br />decomposition over a large range of pH values, which correspond to the natural waters conditions. Results also indicate a better durability of the V-TiO2 photocatalyst in the environmental process compared to pure TiO2 photocatalyst. The prepared material can be used to decompose pollutants in real matrix at the level of pond water under sunlight.</p>Khon KhunnChan Oeurn CheySolida LongLaingshun HuoyKhley ChengMamadou TraoreAndrei Kanaev

https://chemical.journalspub.info/index.php?journal=IJPP&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=1349
<p>Phytochemical screening of flowers is an important area of research that focuses on identifying the bioactive compounds present in these natural sources. Flowers have been traditionally used in folk medicine for their therapeutic properties, and recent scientific studies have shown that they contain a range of chemical constituents that exhibit diverse pharmacological activities. This review article provides an overview of the methods used for the phytochemical screening of flowers, including qualitative and quantitative analysis techniques. We also summarize the bioactive compounds found in different flower species and their potential health benefits. Finally, we discuss the future directions of research in this field and the potential applications of flower-derived bioactive compounds in drug discovery and development. A methanol extract was used to screen the phytochemistry of ten different locally accessible plant parts. Plants contain a variety of phytoconstituents, such as volatile oils, terpenoids, quercetin, steroid, alkaloids, and cardiac glycosides, As per investigations how to phytoconstituents affect the growth of Pisum sativum beans, phytoconstituents included in extracts had a toxic effect on Pisum sativum seed growth. The phytoconstituents in the plant extract had an impact on cell proliferation and growth. In light of this, these plants may be used to create medications that are effective against bacteria and microbes as well as cancer cells.</p>Mohd. Asif

https://chemical.journalspub.info/index.php?journal=IJPP&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=1351
<p>Plants have evolved a range of photoreceptors that enable them to perceive and respond to different wavelengths of light, which in turn regulate various aspects of plant growth and development. However, recent research has revealed that these photoreceptors do not act in isolation but instead interact with each other and with other signaling pathways to coordinate growth responses across different organs of the plant. This phenomenon, known as inter-organ effects, involves the communication and integration of signals from various organs such as leaves, stems, and roots. Understanding the inter-organ effects in the photocontrol of growth is crucial to elucidating the complex signaling networks that govern plant development and to developing strategies to optimize plant growth and productivity. In this review, we highlight recent advances in our understanding of inter-organ effects in the photocontrol of growth and discuss the implications of this knowledge for improving agricultural yields and sustainability. The presence of non-green plastids (etioplasts), which are typically found in chloroplast-containing plant tissues, is a common indicator of the state of etiolation. Etiolation occurs in tandem with a process of growth known as skotomorphogenesis in the widely used dark-grown seedling system. In reaction to illumination, de-etiolation occurs, which is demonstrated by the transition from etioplast to chloroplast therefore, at the seedlings level, a change to photomorphogenic development. It is crucial to comprehend the etiolation and de-etiolation processes in order to comprehend how physiological capability develops over chloroplast biogenesis in addition to how plants react to sunlight, which is the most significant signal for an organism's survival and growth.</p>Manoj Kumar

https://chemical.journalspub.info/index.php?journal=IJPP&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=1352
<p>Chloroplast envelope membranes are essential structures in plant cells that serve as the interface between the plastids and the cytosol. These membranes are composed of an outer and inner membrane, with a space between them known as the intermembrane space. The chloroplast envelope membranes play a critical role in regulating the exchange of metabolites, ions, and proteins between the plastids and the cytosol, which is necessary for proper plant growth and development. Chloroplasts are surrounded by two outer membranes called the envelope, which is the only permanent membrane structure among the various plastid types. The integration of the envelope membranes in cellular processes is the outcome of the lengthy and complex evolutionary history of chloroplasts. Because of the diversity of lipids and terpenoid compounds found in plastid envelope membranes, which are used for a variety of biochemical processes, plants can adapt to changing environmental conditions, such as phosphate deficiency, thanks to the adaptability of their biosynthetic pathways. Proteomic studies focused on envelope membranes have produced a significant body of knowledge, revealing an unexpected level of complexity in this membrane system. In a plant cell, the envelope membranes are undoubtedly one of the most intricate and dynamic systems. An overview of envelope components as well as recent findings regarding the primary roles that envelope membranes play and their dynamics within plant cells.</p>Nisha Pandey
