Ecotoxicological Evaluation of Organic Sunscreens Used Worldwide, Alone and in Mixture, on Terrestrial Plants

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The environmental hazards of sunscreens are discussed worldwide. However, there are few ecotoxicological studies on these compounds alone for edaphic organisms, and none for their mixtures. Avobenzone (1 and 10 ng/L), octocrylene (10 and 100 μg/L), and oxybenzone (2 and 20 μg/L), alone and in binary combinations (between the lowest and the ...

Effects of four food dyes on development of three model species, Cucumis sativus, Artemia salina and Danio rerio: Assessment of potential risk for the environment [PDF]

, 2019
Food dyes, or color additives, are chemicals added to industrial food products and in domestic cooking to improve the perceived flavor and attractiveness. Of natural and synthetic origin, their safety has been long discussed, and concern for human safety

Jasmonates enhance plants tolerance grown in Cd‐contaminated environments: A comprehensive overview

Annals of Applied Biology, EarlyView.
Jasmonates (JAs) enhance plant tolerance to cadmium (Cd) stress by activating antioxidant defences but may reduce Cd uptake, limiting their effectiveness for phytoremediation. This review compiles studies that evaluated the effects of JA application on plants grown in Cd‐contaminated environments. Abstract Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic heavy metal and one of

A PLETHORA3/7 transcription factor shapes cucumber shoot architecture

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary PLETHORA transcription factors (PLTs) are master regulators of plant development. Loss of shoot meristematic PLTs leads to reduced phyllotactic regularity and robustness in Arabidopsis and increased inflorescence branching in tomato. Whether these factors have similar functions in other species is not known.

PPSR1 Protein Functions as an Important Regulator to Enhance Plant Growth Performance Under N, P, and K Deficient Stress Conditions

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Phosphorus (P) is an essential macronutrient for various biological processes in plant growth. Modern agricultural science has advanced the knowledge of regulatory mechanisms underlying phosphorus starvation responses (PSRs), aiming to develop phosphate‐efficient crops with sustainable production under reduced Pi fertilizer application ...

Influence of temperature and host plants on the development and fecundity of the spider mite Tetranychus urticae (Acarina: Tetranychidae)

Plant Protection Science, 2004
Temperature plays a key role in the time needed for development of Tetranychus urticae. It developed fastest at 35°C (6.50 d) and 30°C (6.93 d), while at 15°C it took 16.23 d. The higher the temperature, the faster the development of the mite. As to host

Response of Cucumis sativus to Neighbors in a Species-Specific Manner

Plants, 2022
Plants exhibit various behaviors of growth and allocation that play an important role in plant performance and social interaction as they grow together. However, it is unclear how Cucumis sativus plants respond to different neighbors.
