Plants and Microbes: Bioresources for Sustainable Development and Biocontrol

Potential of lignocellulosic fiber reinforced polymer composites for automobile parts production: Current knowledge, research needs, and future direction

“…Natural fibers are renewable organic materials produced from plants, animals, or minerals and are mainly used as sustainable sources of materials for both industrial and domestic purposes [ 1 , 2 ]. They are considered one of the largest sources of materials for sustainable energy generation and composite production because of their eco-friendly nature, renewability, biodegradability, and lower cost [ [3] , [4] , [5] ].…”

“…In addition, many of the spices are proven to protect against the development of acute and chronic, non-communicable diseases, and help people maintain health. [1][2][3] There is now sufficient evidence that spices and herbs possess antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antitumorigenic, anticarcinogenic, antimalarial, antifungal, and glucose-and cholesterollowering activities. Herbs such as rosemary are excellent sources of antioxidants with their high content of phenolic compounds.…”

“…Herbs such as rosemary are excellent sources of antioxidants with their high content of phenolic compounds. [3,[4][5][6][7] Most of the medicinal plants are an upscale source of novel drugs that form the ingredients in traditional medicinal systems, modern medicinal products, nutraceuticals, food supplements, folk medicines, medicines intermediate bioactive principles, and lead compounds in synthetic drugs. Humankind has been using plant medicines since ages for the diagnosis and cure of various diseases.…”
