Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Salmonella is a major concern in terms of human health, environmental sustainability, and global food security. Salmonella, the world's most prevalent foodborne pathogen, has gradually gained resistance to important drugs, complicating treatment efforts and leading to rising morbidity, mortality, and economic costs. Overuse of antibiotics in human medicine and agriculture, inadequate regulatory compliance, and environmental pollution from agricultural runoff and treated sewage all contribute to the growth and spread of AMR in Salmonella. Health as well as viewpoints on environmental, animal, and human health will be required to address this complicated problem. This includes promoting reasonable antibiotic use, improving global surveillance systems, and researching novel treatments including phage therapy, probiotics, and new antibiotics. Proposals for vaccination and precise food safety standards are critical for limiting Salmonella transmission across the food chain. Despite significant progress, critical research gaps continue, specifically in understanding the molecular basis of resistance and the role of environmental practices. However, contemporary research endeavors are concentrated on identifying and comprehending the prevalence of extensively drug-resistant Salmonella strains, elucidating the bacterium's defense mechanisms against antibiotics, and investigating outbreaks associated with vegetables. Global surveillance, the development of alternative therapies, and the implementation of stricter antibiotic policies are essential strategies in addressing AMR in Salmonella. Additionally, policy design and implementation, capacity building in low- and middle-income countries, and raising public awareness all necessitate urgent global collaboration among governments, international agencies, non-governmental organizations, and the corporate sector. Stricter regulations on overuse of antibiotics in agriculture is also called for. This review highlights the importance of multi-disciplinary struggles in engaging Salmonella, as integrated resolutions through a One Health approach are crucial for ensuring food safety, preserving public health, and minimizing the worldwide threat of AMR.

Legumes are rich in starch, proteins, lipids, vitamins, and minerals, making them a better source for developing films with high nutritional value. They have become a sustainable and eco‐friendly coating to prolong the shelf life of perishable products while preserving both quality and safety. Legume‐based polysaccharides and proteins are cost‐effective materials to use as an alternative to synthetic materials. Additionally, legume‐based edible coatings are gluten free and acceptable to consumers with dietary restrictions for coatings derived from nonplant sources. Their use in edible coating further extends the economic significance of legumes. The physicochemical properties of these coatings may vary based on several factors including composition of the film, conditions of processing, and additives used. Legume‐based edible coatings and films hold the ability to enhance the shelf life and quality of food items by acting as barriers against oxygen, moisture, and solute transfer. Also, they can aid in maintaining the nutritional value, flavor, and sensory qualities of food products. Incorporation of bioactive compounds, such as antioxidants and antimicrobials, into legume‐based coatings further enhances their functionality in food preservation. This article provides an in‐depth review of the current state of research on legume‐based edible coatings, focusing on their development, physical and mechanical properties, applications in food preservation, and future scope.

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is a highly valued tropical fruit known for its exceptional flavor and nutritional benefits. Grafting is a key practice in modern horticulture, significantly boosting fruit yield and quality, as well as enhancing resilience to various biotic and abiotic challenges. This article emphasizes the impact of grafting on mango trees for accelerating flowering, and fruit production, improving yield, and enhancing overall orchard efficiency. Furthermore, the key aspects of grafting such as grafting compatibility, selection of suitable rootstocks, and the influence of environmental factors on successful grafting discussed. This study also focused on the adaptability of grafted mango trees to diverse environmental conditions, offering insights into their resilience against abiotic challenges such as temperature extremes, drought, and salinity stress. This literature review provides a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of mango grafting offering valuable insights for researchers, horticulturists, and growers engaged in mango cultivation.

This study aimed at developing Impatiens niamniamensis Gilg (Parrot Impatiens) as a dwarf, attractive potted plant with increased flower production. Stem cuttings with three nodes were planted and maintained under a polythene propagator for two weeks. They were gradually exposed to sunlight and then transferred to different shade levels (0%, 50%, 70%, and 80%). Each group of plants was subdivided into two groups, and one was treated with 25 mL of 5 mg/L Paclobutrazol (PBZ) during the sixth week. Plants that were exposed to 0% shade were burnt and wilted within one week after planting. This treatment was not considered for further analysis. The interactive effect of different shade levels and application of PBZ was significant (P < 0.0001) on plant height. However, it was not significant for internodal length (P >0.05). There was no significant effect (P >0.05) of different shade levels and PBZ treatment on maximum quantum yield (Fv/Fm), absorption in active reaction center (ABS/RC), or trapped energy flux (ET0/RC). The number of flower buds was significantly higher in PBZ-treated plants that were kept under 70% shade. Shade levels and PBZ treatment significantly affected on color intensity of the flowers, while the length was not significantly affected (P>0.05). There was a significant effect on the number of days taken to flowering among treatments (P < 0.0001). Flowering was delayed in PBZ-treated plants. The 70% shade level with PBZ treatment can be recommended as the best treatment combination to develop shorter plants with better flowering of I. niamniamensis.
