    Piper nigrum L., commonly known as black pepper, is a species of tropical plant and belongs to the family Piperaceae. Black pepper is a very common spice around the world and is often used to add flavor to dishes. The active ingredients found in black pepper have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. These properties indicate that black pepper may have effects such as supporting digestive health, speeding up metabolism and strengthening the immune system. Additionally, some studies suggest that black pepper may have pain-relieving properties.

    3Sepideh Feizollahi graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry from Islamic Azad University, Iran, in 2014. She obtained her Master’s degree in Biochemistry from Islamic Azad University, Iran, in 2016. Currently, she is a Ph.D. student in the Department of Biology, Botany sub-branch, at Istanbul University. In 2022, as part of a BAP project at Istanbul University, she conducted research for 5 months on the phytochemical analyses, determination of antioxidant activities, and in vitro bioavailability of cherry genetic resources distributed in Giresun and surrounding areas. In 2023 and 2024, under a Tübitak project at Istanbul University, she investigated the physiological, biochemical, and molecular effects of brassinosteroid application on the phytoremediation of microplastics and cadmium in Azolla. In 2023, as part of a BAP project at Istanbul University, she studied the effects of brassinosteroid and gibberellic acid on cadmium detoxification in Pinnata R.Br.
