TL;DR: An attempt is made to critically evaluate the chemical, physical, and biological synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) as well as their efficacy in the field of theranostics including microbiology and parasitology to ensure the versatile application of AgNPs in cosmetics, electronics, and medical fields.

TL;DR: High concentration of Cu in the soil affected plant growth and development by reducing plant height, plant diameter and plant fresh and dry biomass and chlorophyll contents in the leaves compared with the control, while L. usitatissimum is able to revoke large amount of Cu from the soil and could be grown as flaxseed and a potential candidate for phytoremediation of Cu.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented for the efficient knockout of rapeseed homologues of CLAVATA3 (CLV3) for a secreted peptide and its related receptors CLV1 and CLV2 in the CLV signalling pathway using the CRISPR/Cas9 system and achieved stable transmission of the mutations across three generations, revealing the potential for plant breeding strategies to improve yield traits in currently cultivated rapeseed varieties.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the first application of CRISPR/Cas9 for creating yellow‐seeded mutants in rapeseed resulted in the broad suppression of phenylpropanoid/flavonoid biosynthesis genes, which indicated a much more complex molecular mechanism underlying seed colour formation in rapesseed than in Arabidopsis and other Brassica species.

TL;DR: The results illustrate that C. capsularis can tolerate Cu concentrations of up to 300 mg kg-1 without significant decreases in growth or biomass, but further increases in Cu concentration lead to significant reductions in plant growth and biomass, and shows a progressive increase in Cu uptake in response to increasing Cu concentrations in the soil, suggesting that the plant is a potential bio-resource for the phytoremediation of Cu in Cu-contaminated soil.
