Roundup and its active ingredient glyphosate are among the most widely used herbicides worldwide and may contaminate surface waters. Research suggests both Roundup and glyphosate induce oxidative stress in fish and may also cause reproductive toxicity in mammalian systems. We aimed to investigate the reproductive effects of Roundup and glyphosate in fish and the potential associated mechanisms ...

El uso de plaguicidas puede afectar el ecosistema acuático. A través del suelo, estos contaminantes se drenan a los ríos y lagunas. En la Argentina, agroquímicos base glifosato como Roundup, utilizan ampliamente en actividades agrícolas. Considerando esto, objetivo este trabajo fue evaluar efectos genotóxicos Roundup Full II® células sanguíneas ejemplares juveniles Prochilodus lineatus. Los pec...

Roundup is the major herbicide used worldwide, in particular on genetically modified plants that have been designed to tolerate it. We have tested the toxicity and endocrine disruption potential of Roundup (Bioforce on human embryonic 293 and placental-derived JEG3 cells, but also on normal human placenta and equine testis. The cell lines have proven to be suitable to estimate hormonal activity...

The toxicity of the active molecule in herbicides has been used to determine safe concentrations, because other components are considered inert. Roundup, which contains the active molecule Glyphosate, was described as an endocrine disrupter because non-cytotoxic concentrations inhibited progesterone synthesis in vitro. Human chorioplacental JAr cells synthesise progesterone, and increase synthe...

In order to evaluate the eco-toxicological effects of Roundup on Carassius auratus (C. auratus), fish were exposed to 32 μg/L Roundup, isopropylamine salt of glyphosate (G.I.S) and polyoxyethylene amine (POEA) over different periods (0.5, 1, 3, 7 and 14 d). Hydroxyl radical (·OH), malondialdehyde (MDA) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) in liver were detected in this study. Results showed that the...

SUMMARY We have created a tool for ortholog and phylogenetic profile retrieval called Roundup. Roundup is backed by a massive repository of orthologs and associated evolutionary distances that was built using the reciprocal smallest distance algorithm, an approach that has been shown to improve upon alternative approaches of ortholog detection, such as reciprocal blast. Presently, the Roundup r...

This paper compares the profitability and cost of production of irrigated Roundup Ready cotton varieties and conventional cotton varieties grown under crop share rental agreements in the Texas High Plains Region for 1998. The Standardized Performance Analysis (SPA) program was used to analyze 25 sub-enterprises for each variety type from six producers selected from the regional SPA database for...

Ten field experiments, in which high rates of Roundup (glyphosate, 410g ailQ) and Fusilade Super (fluazifop-butyl, 125 g ailQ) were sprayed onto sugarcane cropsshortly before harvest, were carried out over a period of two years. Changes in cane quality were measured and regrowth of the subsequent ratoon was assessed. Treatment with Fusilade Superdid not result in an acceptable kill of the stool...
