Biopolymeric chitosan/ZnO-nanocomposite films from pomegranate peels for sustainable and functional food packaging

Sangodkar, V.; Vaidya, M.; Ayyanar, M.; Prabhu, S.; Nadaf, S.; Naik, A.V.; Gurav, N.; Kumbhar, P.; Kharkar, P.; Gurav, S. (Inorganic Chemistry Communications. 186(Part I); 2026; ArticleID_116200.)

Chitosan (CS), a biopolymer derived from chitin, is well known for its biodegradability and significant antimicrobial, photocatalytic, and UV-protective properties, making it an intriguing candidate for sustainable and ...
Bioremediation of chromium by Oscillatoria pseudogeminata: growth dynamics, metal uptake, and physiological responses

Chahal, S.; Chanekar, T.; Bhandari, R. (International Journal of Phytoremediation. NYP; 2026; NYP.)

Hexavalent chromium, Cr(VI), is a highly toxic heavy metal that disrupts metabolic processes and threatens aquatic ecosystems. Cyanoremediation using metabolically active cyanobacteria for heavy-metal sequestration and ...
What determines the host preferences of hemiepiphytic Ficus species? A study from Western Ghats, Goa, India

Fernandes, A.P.; Janarthanam, M.K.; Krishnan, S. (Plant Ecology. 227(2); 2026; ArticleID_14.)

The Ficus species play a vital role as keystone species in the tropical forest ecosystem. They are also referred to as figs and are classified as "free-standing" and "hemiepiphytic" based on their dependencies on host ...
Sustainable production of Syzygium laetum-engineered ZnO nanoparticles: From physicochemical properties to in vitro bioactivities and in vivo ecotoxicity assessment

Nadar, A.P.; Krishnan, S. (Biomedical Materials & Devices. NYP; 2026; NYP.)

This study reports the green synthesis of zinc oxide nanoparticles (SL-ZnONPs) using an aqueous leaf extract of Syzygium laetum (Buch.-Ham.) Gandhi, a riverine endemic from the Western Ghats, via a solution combustion ...
Anatomical characterization of genus Garcinia (Clusiaceae) from the Western Ghats of India and their potential use in identification of species at vegetative stage

Dabolkar, A.; Palkar, R.S.; Krishnan, S. (Phytotaxa. 736(3); 2025; 241-274.)

In the genus Garcinia, most species are dioecious; moreover, the flowers in this genus are usually very small (5-30 mm) compared to the leaves, making floral-based identification among the species very challenging. Hence, ...
Invisible pollutants, visible impact: ZnO nanoparticles (nZnO) induce nanoecotoxicity, oxidative stress and functional decline in the freshwater alga Nostoc spongiaeforme Agardh

Naik, A.V.; Sharma, P.K. (Environmental Sustainability. 8(4); 2025; 759-771.)

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs), widely used in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and various industrial products, are increasingly detected in freshwater ecosystems, posing potential ecological risks. This study investigated ...
Paleobiological Significance of Trichome Inclusions in Baltic Amber from Goa, India

Dabolkar, S.; Kamat, N.M. (Journal of Geosciences Research. 11(1); 2026; 109-113.)

Baltic amber (succinate) is a fossilized resin belonging to the Eocene period (44-49 million years old) derived from the Araucariaceae and Leguminosae families of trees containing up to 8 percent of succinic acid and ...
Molecular phylogeny of Strobilanthes (Acanthaceae) from the northern Western Ghats of India: phylogenetic relationships and implications for systematics and biogeography

Fernandes, M.C.; Surveswaran, S.; Krishnan, S. (Nordic Journal of Botany. 2025(10); 2025; ArticleID_e04678.)

Strobilanthes is the second largest genus of Acanthaceae and grows naturally in the tropical regions of Asia. India is a centre of diversity for this genus in the Western Ghats and the northern/northeastern regions of India ...
The Genus Syzygium Gaertn. - A phytochemically-enriched reservoir for the bioengineering of nanostructures and its role in nanofabrication

Nadar, A.P.; Krishnan, S. (International Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences and Nanotechnology. 18(2); 2025; 7968-7990.)

The non-toxic and eco-sustainable fabrication of plant-based nanoparticles led to a boon in the material science field, with distinct medicinal plants producing nanostructures of diverse applications. Syzygium Gaertn. is ...
Impact of copper toxicity on physiological and biochemical parameters in Vigna radiata L. plants

Parkar, D.; Jamuni, V.; D'silva, R.; Chahal, S.; Bhandari, R. (International Journal of Phytoremediation. NYP; 2025; NYP.)

Copper (Cu) is a toxic metal that accumulates in soil due to agricultural and industrial activities, potentially impacting plant growth and productivity. Our study examined the phytotoxic effects of Cu on Vigna radiata L. ...
