Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Effect of nanoparticles on antioxidant activity of alfalfa seedlings   Order a copy of this article
    by Yurong Wang, Jipeng Mo 
    Abstract: Background: Alfalfa, a perennial legume from the family Fabaceae, is well known for its uses in agriculture and medicine. It is utilised as a cover crop, green manure, and for hay, silage, and grazing. It has been long utilised as a successful treatment for digestive problems, cardiac issues, and neurological issues. Small antioxidant compounds and enzymes help alfalfa become a stress tolerant plant. Objective: Research investigates the impact of different NP, specifically TiO2 and Fe2O3, on the antioxidant activity of alfalfa seedlings. Methods: To assess the effects of these NPs on the formation of ROS, antioxidant enzyme activities, and general plant health, seedlings were subjected to various doses of these NPs. Results: The result shows that by reducing the formation of ROS and increasing reduced GSH, alfalfa improves cell viability of p-value < 0.001 by reducing DNA fragmentation and blocking the apoptotic pathway. Conclusion: Research emphasises alfalfas potential as an adjuvant in agriculture involving NP procedures and as a preventive agent against oxidative stress generated by NP.
    Keywords: antioxidant activity; TiO2; titanium oxide; Fe2O3; iron oxide; alfalfa; ROS; reactive oxygen species.
