It also recommended conducting in vivo experiments to verify their effects, as well as testing their activity against pathogenic fungi affecting humans, plants, and animals and exploring their potential use as environmentally friendly pesticides.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">The study further recommended investigating variations in the types and concentrations of chemical compounds in different parts of the plant, including the leaves, fruits, roots, and stems. In addition, it recommended exploring the possibility of synthesizing nanoparticles using the plant extract or its active compounds and evaluating their potential effects in the treatment of cancer cells.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;3184&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;img_link_large&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;3185&#8243; img_size=&#8221;large&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;img_link_large&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] The faculty member at the Institute of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology for Postgraduate Studies, University of Baghdad, Dr. Hawazen &#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":37,"featured_media":3183,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14,17,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3197","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archives","category-last-news","category-a-a"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
