BACKGROUND Bemisia tabaci MEAM1 (Middle East-Asia Minor 1) feeding alters antioxidative enzyme activity in some plant species. Infestation of B. tabaci nymphs decreases Myzus persicae performance on systemic, but not local leaves of tobacco plants. However, it is unclear if B. tabaci nymphs induced antioxidant activities contributing to the aphid resistance. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We ...

Cadmium (Cd) and lead (Pb) are recognized as the most toxic metal ions due to their detrimental effects not only to plants, but also to humans. The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of Cd and Pb treatments on seed germination, plant growth, and physiological response in tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schreb.). We employed six treatments: CK (nutrient solution as control),...

a greenhouse experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of mycorrhial fungus (glomus mosseae) on cadmium (cd) toxicity in pepper (capsicum annuum l. cv. zhongjiao 105) plants. half of plants were inoculated with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf). cd was supplied in the form of cadmium chloride at 0.0, 0.1 and 0.5 mm through irrigation water in the soil. mycorrhizal colonization was hi...

BACKGROUND Our study aimed to characterize and prospect immobilization strategies for a novel fungal peroxidase (POD) insert it in pollutant remediation context. The enzymatic extract was obtained by submerged fermentation of Trichoderma koningiopsis an alternative substrate consisting fresh microalgal biomass. efficiency evaluated monitoring the residual activity (RA) discoloration potential (...

Abstract The aim of the current study was to evaluate therapeutic potentials Hydroxyquinoline Sulfanilamide (HSM) for Alzheimer’s disease in a mice model Streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes. antioxidant analysis brain homogenates carried out by catalase (CAT) assay, reduced glutathione (GSH) and lipid peroxidation (LPO) assay. Biochemical blood plasma conducted peroxidase (POD) assay superoxi...

Mild-temperature photothermal therapy (MPTT) is a promising tumor therapeutic modality because it can avoid the damage of normal tissues near caused by excessive heat. However, its effect severely impaired cells develop heat resistance and self-repair activating shock response cell autophagy. Herein, tannic acid–iron ion metal organic framework-coated, chloroquine (CQ)-loaded mesoporous PdPt na...

The suitability of five apple varieties (Ralls, Qinguan, Fuji, Delicious, and Cattle) for fresh-cut processing was compared based on the evaluation weight loss, firmness, color, titratable acid (TA), polyphenoloxidase (PPO) activity peroxidase (POD) activity, impact pulsed electronic field (PEF) apples’ quality explored. results showed that changes to Delicious apples in terms color parameter, ...

The dyes used in the production of textile industry are toxic substances that resistant to biological treatment. Most them have highly complex polymer structures. Salicylic acid (SA) is an important hormone produced by plants provides tolerance many biotic and abiotic stress factors. Duckweed (L. minor L.) free floating plants. These been laboratory toxicological studies researchers for reasons...

Traditionally, proprioception has been assessed with a passive model, in which an external apparatus moves a body segment. Recently, protocols have been developed based on active movements, which are more representative of functional activities. However, even these approaches require expensive testing equipment and the necessity of a visit to a research lab, as there are no commercially availab...
