Meloidogyne incognita (root-knot nematode) is a devastating soil-borne pathogen which can infect almost all cultivated plants around the globe, expediting huge pecuniary losses. The purpose of current study was to use the aqueous root extract of Glycyrrhiza glabra for synthesizing silver nanoparticles (GRAgNPs) and assess their nematicidal potential against M. incognita by in vitro methods, including hatching inhibition and mortality assays. The active uptake of FITC labeled GRAgNPs by the nematode and their effect on the expression of selected genes involved in oxidative stress and DNA damage repair were also studied. An HRTEM micrograph confirmed their spherical morphology with sizes ranging from 9.61 nm to 34.735 nm. Complete inhibition of egg-hatching was observed after 48 h of treatment with as low as 10.0 ppm of GRAgNPs. In addition, 100% mortality was recorded at the lowest dose of 6.0 ppm, after 12 h of treatment. The LC-50 for GRAgNPs was found to be 0.805 ± 0.177 ppm at p < 0.0001, R2 = 0.9930, and α = 0.05. The expression of targeted genes (skn-1, mev-1, sod-3, dhs-23, cyp-450, xpa, cpr-1, gst-n, and ugt) was significantly enhanced (1.09–2.79 folds), at 1.0 ppm (α = 0.05, 95% CI) GRAgNPs treatment. In conclusion, GRAgNPs performed efficaciously and considerably in contrast to chemical nematicide and commercial silver nanoparticles (CAgNPs) and might be used as a promising alternative as relatively lower concentration and short exposure time were enough to cause higher mortality and nanotoxicity in nematodes.

Review ArticleProviding a clean and safe environment is one of the great challenges facing humanity. As a result of various human activities over thousands of years in the field of agriculture, industry, housing, burning fuel and elimination of forests and agricultural areas, the environment has been greatly destroyed, and water, air and soil are polluted, and this has resulted in a several risks and problems that It began threatening humanity, perhaps the most important of which is the spread of diseases and epidemics caused by pollution, such as climate change and global warming, which caused major climatic problems that led to storms and floods on the one hand, and drought, desertification and water scarcity on the other hand. It may also lead to bigger and deeper problems if we delay facing this challenge. Green environmental applications such as nanotechnology have great for environmental sanitation (land, water, air) and treatment of pollution resulting from agricultural and industrial activities, accommodation and others. It has a set of low-cost solutions to environmental cleaning problems. Environmental protection is one of the most prominent applied fields that nanotechnology pays great attention to because of the interrelationship between human health and environment in which-it lives. Green technology aims to use less harmful technology to human health and the environment and gradually leads to storage, distribution and use systems that are clean and non-Journal homepage www.ajas.uoanbar.edu.iq

Nanotechnology is being explored widely to improve food packaging. The development of innovative packaging materials using nanotechnology has had remarkable growth in the last few years. For the last two decades, substantial scientific efforts have been placed into replacing bulk and conventional materials with eco-friendly and biodegradable nanotechnology products or, more specifically, nanostructured materials in the food packaging industry. The advantages of nanotechnology and applications of nanostructured materials in food packaging are overviewed in this chapter. The common, profitable, and marketable acceptance of nanomaterial based food packaging systems and future perspectives are discussed by providing a broad and improved understanding of implementing nanotechnology products in food packaging.
