Abstract: Microbial symphonies, which reflect the complex relationships and harmonious functioning of microbial communities, have drawn a lot of attention due to their applications in biotechnology, environmental sustainability, and human health. Microbial symphonies are thoroughly examined in this review, which distinguishes them from the more general notion of the microbiome by highlighting the coordinated, group-based behaviours and interactions that occur within these communities. Nutrient cycling, immunological modulation, illness prevention,........

Abstract: The rhizosphere of medicinal plants hosts a complex and diverse microbial community, including fungi that significantly influence plant health, growth, and secondary metabolite production. This study investigated the fungal biodiversity in the rhizosphere soils of ten medicinal plants at Barkatullah University campus analyzing soil physico-chemical properties and fungal diversity. Soil samples exhibited alkaline pH (7.9–9.14) and loamy sand texture, favoring diverse fungal communities. Among 96 fungal morphotypes isolated, Ascomycota dominated, followed........

Abstract: Landfill leachate is a highly contaminated liquid formed from the percolation of water through solid waste in landfills. Its composition varies depending on landfill age, waste composition, and environmental conditions, but it typically contains high concentrations of organic matter, heavy metals, ammonia, and inorganic salts. Due to its potential for environmental pollution, landfill leachate requires effective treatment before disposal or reuse. This paper explores the chemical composition of landfill leachate, its environmental impact, and various treatment strategies, including physical, chemical, and biological methods. Emerging treatment technologies such as electrocoagulation.......

Abstract: Background: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia, which leads to severe complications affecting multiple organs. Alloxan is a diabetogenic compound that induces diabetes by selectively destroying pancreatic β-cells. Momordica charantia (bitter melon) is widely known for its antidiabetic properties, but its role in restoring serum protein levels in diabetic conditions remains unclear. Aim: This study aims to investigate the biochemical changes in serum protein expression upon alloxan-induced diabetes and the potential.....

Abstract: The resurgence of indigenous knowledge and organic practices in Indian horticulture offers a critical pathway toward sustainable agricultural development. Rooted in centuries-old ecological wisdom, these practices include seed preservation, vermicomposting, natural pest control, and community-driven water management. In recent years, government initiatives such as the Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana and Bhartiya Prakritik Krishi Paddhati have institutionalized support for organic clusters and traditional inputs. Complementing these efforts are NGOs, farmer collectives.....

Abstract: Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) is globally recognized not only as a staple vegetable but also as a potent functional food due to its rich phytochemical profile. This review synthesizes the current understanding of the antioxidant properties, health-promoting benefits, and biochemical diversity among tomato cultivars. Particular attention is given to the effects of post-harvest processing and storage on the stability and bioavailability of key compounds, especially lycopene, vitamin C, flavonoids, and phenolic acids. The implications of these properties in the prevention and management of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular diseases, cancers, and metabolic disorders, are also discussed. Recognising how varietal and processing influences tomato phytochemistry can help guide breeding programs, dietary recommendations, and food industry innovations.
