In the present study, we evaluated aqueous extracts of willow (Salix alba L.) and cherry plum (Prunus cerasifera f. rosaceae) at different concentrations (5, 10, 15 and 20%) under in vitro conditions using poisoned food technique for their efficacy against Fusarium pallidoroseum causing wilt disease of chilli. The efficacy of the extracts was compared with synthetic fungicide, carbendazim 50 WP, which at 0.05% concentration resulted in 100% inhibition. Both the tested botanical extracts significantly inhibited mycelial growth at all the test concentrations with 100 per cent inhibition at 20% concentration. The present study showed that both the botanicals have the potential to be used against F. pallidoroseum.

Flavonoids and Phenols from the plant waste also contributed in reducing the particles to nano size. ICP-MS and ICP-OES studies revealed that the nbF contained different concentrations of N, P, K, Zn, Mn, Fe, Ca, Mg, Cu and Se mineral elements and were found in plant root and shoot system after the application of nano- biofertilizer (nbF) suggesting effective uptake and translocation of these minerals. SEM and zeta size study suggested that nano-biofertilizer particles were in the size range of 100-200 nm and 100-116 nm, respectively. Zeta potential of the nano bio-fertilizer of the order of -47.18 mv showed the nanoparticles to be highly stable. FT-IR verified the successful coordination of citrate to the metal atoms. Morphological and biochemical parameters of CBZ-90 common bean plants increased upon the application of nano-biofertilizer in phyta jar. When compared to control plants (without nbF) both in agar (optimum dose of 40 ppm) and MGRL media highlighting the vital role of nano- biofertilizer in providing plants with a complete range of macro and micro elements. This indicates the quantitative and qualitative efficiency of the nano-biofertilizer. Amino acid Proline was seen to decrease with the application of nbF revealing alleviation from mineral stress caused due to nutrient deficiency in the control conditions. An additional concentration dependent antifungal property was seen in the nbF. At a concentration of 100 ppm, more than 79 per cent fungal growth inhibition was achieved

The gluten free nature of protein, having balanced amino acid profile along with health promoting bioactive flavonoids make it a golden crop of future. Besides scanty basic research, not much attention has been paid to the improvement of plant type and breeding of nutraceutical traits. In this study Buckwheat (Fagopyrum tartaricum) flour was defatted first and the isolated protein was prepared from this defatted flour which was then lyophilized and used for further analysis. Proteins from buckwheat flour were hydrolyzed enzymatically followed by confirmation of protein concentration and examination on Sodium Dodecyl Sulphate Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Formation of bioactive peptides which are smaller in size were further analysed for antioxidant activity. The protein isolate of hydrolysed sample exhibited higher radical scavenging activity compared to unhydrolysed samples. This research highlights the use of enzymatic hydrolysis process for development of bioactive peptides with potential nutraceutical importance in the pharmaceutical and food industry.
