Green Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticles Using Piper Nigrum (Black Pepper) Aqueous Extract
Abstract: In the present study, we wish to report the green synthesis of gold nanoparticles using aqueous extract from fruit of black pepper. The extract with different concentrations was reduced with HAuCl4 aqueous solution at room temperature. The color change, pH change and UV-visible spectroscopic analysis reveal the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of the final reaction product which confirms the reduction of Au3+ ion to gold nanoparticles. The FTIR spectra confirms …

A Rapid and Efficient Protocol of DNA Extraction from Animal Blood and Plant Parts
Abstract: DNA extraction from plant tissues is much more complex in comparison to mammalian tissues and bacterial cells due to the presence of a rigid cell wall. Methods utilized for extraction of DNA from plant tissues can vary depending upon the materials used. It is very essential to obtain the nuclear material (without degradation) by breaking down the cell wall and membrane mechanically. We have used the single protocol for extraction …

Determination of A More Efficient Method of Grafting Mangoes and Optimum Growth Environment for A Successful Graft Union
Abstract: AbstractMangoes (Mangifera indica) have traditionally been propagated through seeds but this process takes many years for trees to start bearing fruits (7–10 years). Grafting is used to shorten the juvenile period in which mangoes start bearing between as early as 1 to 3 years. Farmers believe that after grafting, grafted plants need to be placed in greenhouse for successful union of the graft and growth of the sprouts. Authors know …
