Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a major global health challenge, particularly in intestinal infections where the efficacy of conventional antibiotics is rapidly declining. The rising prevalence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens underscores the urgent need for alternative antimicrobial agents with favorable activity profiles. This study evaluated the antibacterial potential of bioactive anthraquinones isolated from Cassia...

Purpose: Based on its crucial regulatory role in several biochemical processes, potassium (K) is considered to greatly influence fruit yield and quality. Methods: Two field experiments were carried out in two seasons (2021 and 2022) to explore the response of lemon (Baladi cv.) trees grown in K-deficient soil to four different K fertilizer sources applied individually as a foliar spray. K citrate (KC 1 = 1.3 vs. KC 2 = 2.6 g L...

Purpose The present research’s main objective was to explore the potential stimulative effect of fulvic acid (FA) as a soil conditioner and salicylic acid (SA) as foliar spraying on morpho-physio-biochemical attributes, fruit yield, and quality of ‘Sediek’ and ‘Ewais’ mango cultivars (cvs.) grown under saline calcareous soil and heat stress conditions Methods Eight treatments, namely, 200 (FA 200 ) and 400 (FA 400 ) g FA tree...
