Does dicamba exposure elicit a hormetic response in sensitive soybean?

Transcriptome response to glyphosate in sensitive and resistant soybean.

The majority of soybeans planted in the United States are resistant to glyphosate due to introduction of a gene encoding for a glyphosate-insensitive 5-enolypyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase. Gene expression profiling was conducted using cDNA microarrays to address questions related to potential secondary effects of glyphosate. When glyphosate-sensitive plants were treated with glyphosate, ...

Hormetic response of cholinesterase from Daphnia magna in chronic exposure to triazophos and chlorpyrifos.

In vivo activity of cholinesterase (ChE) in Daphnia magna was measured at different time points during 21-day exposure to triazophos and chlorpyrifos ranging from 0.05 to 2.50 microg/L and 0.01 to 2.00 microg/L, respectively. For exposure to triazophos, ChE was induced up to 176.5% at 1.5 microg/L and day 10 when measured by acetylthiocholine (ATCh), whereas it was induced up to 174.2% at 0.5 m...

Does hyperventilation elicit epileptic seizures?

PURPOSE Voluntary hyperventilation has been advocated for many decades as an "activating" procedure to provoke clinical seizures and epileptiform discharges in subjects with suspected epilepsy who undergo standard EEG recordings. This study was undertaken to determine the effects of hyperventilation in patients with proven epilepsy. METHODS We examined the records of 433 consecutive patients ...

Host-Pathogen Interactions XV. FUNGAL GLUCANS WHICH ELICIT PHYTOALEXIN ACCUMULATION IN SOYBEAN ALSO ELICIT

A 8jglucan isolated from the mycelial wails of Phytophthora megasperma var. sojae and a glucan purified from yeast extract stimulate the accumulation of phytoalexins in red kidney bean, Phaseolus vulgads, and stimulate the accumulation of the phytoalexin, rishitin, In potato tubers, Solanum tuberosum. These glucans have previously been shown to be potent elicitors of glyceollin accumulation In ...
