 Plant Bioactivity Modifications

Naturally occurring bioactive compounds are ubiquitous in most dietary higher plants available to humans and livestock. The natural products such as plant extracts provide unlimited opportunities for new drug discoveries, mostly because of plethora of varieties of chemicals 


GPMB 2021 is a platform where researchers can discuss more interesting topics, among those Bioactivity modification is one session.

We invite all the plant science scientists and encourage scholars to join and give presentation at GPMB 2021 | Virtual Conference.

For more information, please write an email to plant-science@magnusmeetings.com or can send a whatsapp text to +1(434) 381 1007

Temperature is an important factor for Plant Growth


Plant growth and geographic distribution are greatly affected by the environment. If any environmental factor is less than ideal, it limits a plant’s growth and/or distribution. For example, only plants adapted to limited amounts of water can live in deserts.

Temperature influences most plant processes, including photosynthesis, transpiration, respiration, germination, and flowering. As temperature increases (up to a point), photosynthesis, transpiration, and respiration increase. When combined with day-length, temperature also affects the change from vegetative (leafy) to reproductive (flowering) growth. Depending on the situation and the specific plant, the effect of temperature can either speed up or slow down this transition.


We would like to invite researchers to speak on temperature effects plants.

 History of Petrified Wood

Petrified wood is a fossil. It forms when plant material is buried by sediment and protected from decay due to oxygen and organisms. Then, groundwater rich in dissolved solids flows through the sediment, replacing the original plant material with silica, calcite, pyrite, or another inorganic material such as opal.

Some specimens of petrified wood are such accurate preservation that people do not realize they are fossils until they pick them up and are shocked by their weight.


If any of the scientists or scholar would like to talk on petrified wood, can submit their abstract at the following link: GPMB 2021 | Abstract Submission Link

If you have any queries or if any information required, please write an email to plant-science@magnusmeetings.com or can send a whatsapp text to +1(434) 381 1007

 Left Behind Medicinal Potential Plants

We have all most 80,000 species of plants and among those human use only 30 plant species for food and 70,000 species for medicinal purpose.

Apart from that researchers stated that there is only one percentage of rainforest plant species have been studied for medicinal potential and remaining comes under left behind.


Scientists and Scholars who are having with research paper on rainforest plant species can submit abstract at the following link: Abstract Submission Page

For queries or any futhur information, please contact us through an email (plant-science@magnusmeetings.com) r can send a direct text message through whats app (+1(434) 381 1007)

 Carrots were originally Purple

Before the 16th-17th century, almost all cultivated carrots were purple, with mutated versions occasionally including yellow and white carrots. Orange carrots are believed to have been cultivated by Dutch growers who took mutant strains of the purple carrot and developed them into the modern-day variety. It is further believed that orange carrots are easier to grow.


Plant Science proves that we can cultivate the species, which are necessary and required.

Scientists might have different types of ideas, research papers and information on many types of historical species and on new generation mutant species.

We take pleasure to invite scientists to join and speak on mutant species at 6th Edition of Plant Science and Molecular Biology (GPMB 2021)” is scheduled during September 30- October 2, 2021 at Paris, France.

Please follow the link for abstract submission: https://plant-science-biology-conferences.magnusgroup.org/submit-abstract and for queries, please write to plant-science@magnusmeetings.com or can send a whatsapp text to +1(434) 381 1007

 Plastics can change the soil chemistry



Almost from few decades we are all fighting against plastic to save our environment but due to the current COVID situations, every one of us are using hand sanitizers. Where the hand sanitizer bottles are made up of plastic.

As per the safety measures every one need to use the sanitizer, which means an individual use 30ml of sanitizer bottle for two days. If we calculate the world population use, one bottle per two days, it gives huge number.

We only see the financial status are getting down due to COVID but we forget about our Earth. If our Earth is good, we can handle any kind of viruses but if it got damaged, we will be out of protection from our mother earth.


Kindly take care, do not through your sanitizer bottles after it got empty, just club it and send it for the recycling.

Scientists, who has research topic on “How plastic changes the soil chemistry” can drop your abstracts at the following link: GPMB 2021 Abstract Submission Link or for any queries, kindly write us at plant-biology@magnusscigroup.com or can send a whatsapp text to +1(434) 381 1007

Hand Sanitizers Vs Plant Growth

Hand Sanitizers: Also called hand antiseptic, handrub, or hand rub, agent applied to the hands for the purpose of removing common pathogens (disease-causing organisms).

Depending on the active ingredient used, hand sanitizers can be classified in to two types: alcohol-based or alcohol-free. Alcohol-based products typically contain between 60 and 95 percent alcohol, usually in the form of ethanol, isopropanol, or n-propanol. At those concentrations, alcohol immediately denatures proteins, effectively neutralizing certain types of microorganisms. Alcohol-free products are generally based on disinfectants, such as benzalkonium chloride (BAC), or on antimicrobial agents, such as triclosan. The activity of disinfectants and antimicrobial agents is both immediate and persistent.

Alcohol based products contains ethanol or ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH), when applied alcohol based sanitizer ethanol gets evaporated and gets reacted with atmospheric hydroxyl radical and produce acetaldehyde which is the primary sink for atmospheric ethanol, thereby potentially contributing to ozone and smog formation including peroxyacetyl nitrate (PAN).

Study demonstrates that the rainwater concentrations of ethanol have risen due to increased production and use of ethanol as a biofuel. As per the current COVID situations, the production of ethanol from individual person is also added to the industrial ethanol pollution. Rainwater and gas phase ethanol concentrations increased approximately fourfold between 2010 and 2017 in Wilmington, NC, USA


Volume-weighted annual average rainwater concentration and standard deviations for ethanol in nM vs. year for rainwater collected in Wilmington, NC, USA. The year 2010 contains summer data only (n = 11). The Mann−Kendall Trend Analysis for these data is significant at p = 0.043; the regression line shown has R = 0.8678 and p < 0.01 for n = 8

Volume-weighted annual average rainwater concentration of ethanol in nM with standard deviations for rainwater collected in Wilmington, NC, USA between 2010 and 2017 vs. billions of km driven by vehicles in North Carolina, USA, per year over the same time frame. For the regression line, R = 0.9517, n = 8 and p < 0.001

Plants: Plants are really important for the planet and for all living things. Plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen from their leaves, which humans and other animals need to breathe. Plants help to clean water too.

Ethanol tends to stunt the growth of plants. When ethanol is applied to flowers, scientists note that, when watered with a 5 percent solution of ethanol, plant growth slows. When a 10 percent alcohol solution is applied, the plant becomes stressed and, with a 25 percent alcohol solution, the plant dies.

If 50ml of hand sanitizer contains 63.25% of ethanol and an individual use on average 10ml of hand sanitizer per day which contains 12.65%. The current world population is 7.9 billion and approximately if an individual use 10 ml of ethanol per day then it’s producing 79000 Megaliter in to our atmosphere. 

As per the above mentioned studies, the ethanol concentration in rain water and in air is increasing and studies shows increase in ethanol concentration will effects the plant growth but the current COVID situations tends to increase the usage of individual alcohol based hand sanitizers.
