Controlling Growth of Ultrasmall Sub‐10 nm Silver Nanoparticles From Cotinus coggygria Scop. Extract and Evaluation of Its In Vitro Anti‐Breast Cancer, Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Activity

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study highlights the potential use of Cotinus coggygria Scop. plant extract in a single‐step synthesis of biocompatible and ultrasmall AgNPs for in vitro applications. Herein, microscopic analyses revealed that AgNP exposure did not induce appreciable morphological changes in CRL‐4010 cells, whereas MCF‐7 and MDA‐MB‐231 cells exhibited ...

Differentially evolved glucosyltransferases determine natural variation of rice flavone accumulation and UV-tolerance

Nature Communications, 2017
In contrast to flavonols, the functions of plant flavones are largely unknown. Here, the authors report the two differentially evolved glucosyltranferases (flavone 7-O-glucosyltransferase and flavone 5-O-glucosyltransferase) determine natural variation ...

Optimizing germination and cultivation of edible halophytes using effluents from an IMTA system

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Halophytes offer nature‐based solutions to food insecurity and soil degradation, while their integration into integrated multi‐trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems promotes circular economy practices. This study aimed to optimize the germination and cultivation of edible halophytic species, namely Limbarda crithmoides, Suaeda vera and

Phenotypic, physicochemical, sensory, and functional attributes of cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) from Brazilian Amazonian floodplain and upland ecosystems

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) from the Brazilian Amazon plays an important role in national production. While most cocoa is cultivated in upland systems, floodplain ecosystems represent a traditional and distinct production environment that may influence bean composition and quality.
