Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.Abstract BACKGROUND Nanoparticulate systems offer an effective strategy for the targeted delivery of agrochemicals and for enhancing their efficacy. This study aimed to synthesize and characterize gibberellic acid (GA3)‐loaded poly(d,l‐lactic‐co‐glycolic acid) nanoparticles (PLGA NPs) and to evaluate the effects of their application on the flower ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Parasitic weeds of the family Orobanchaceae are among the most damaging constraints on food production in the tropics, draining water and nutrients from their hosts and threatening the livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers. Yellow witchweed (Alectra vogelii) can destroy entire legume harvests across sub‐Saharan Africa, where these crops are a ...

Renin-angiotensin and kallikrein-kinin systems in diabetic retinopathy [PDF]
Scripta Medica, 2019 This brief review describes how two complex systems, the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) and the kallikrein-kinin system (KKS), affect the retina.

Responsive Materials, EarlyView.Guided by the spectral demand of plant photosystems, this review summarizes the synthesis, emission regulation, dual‐emission design, and gram‐scale production of CDs for agricultural applications. Spectrally matched blue‐ and red‐emissive CDs enhance plant light utilization by converting underutilized light into photosynthetically active radiation and

Kinins induce abnormal vascular reactivity
, 1988 Previous studies have shown that after experimental neural trauma or acute hypertension the brain produces superoxide anion radicals, and brain arterioles display endothelial lesions, dilation, and loss of normal reactivity in response to a decrease in ...

Kinins : important regulators in inflammation induced bone resorption
, 2006 Inflammatory processes in, or in close vicinity of, the skeleton often lead to loss of bone tissue. Different cytokines have been shown to be involved as stimulators of inflammatory induced osteoclastic bone resorption. During inflammatory processes also

Insect Science, EarlyView.Prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) signaling via its receptor has integral roles in mosquito physiology, mediating fluid excretion, stimulating hindgut contractions, and in modulating uric acid levels. Together, these results uncover previously unrecognized roles of prostaglandin signaling in osmotic balance and metabolic homeostasis in mosquitoes.

Roles of Kinins in the Nervous System
Cell Transplantation, 2015 The kallikrein-kinin system (KKS) is an endogenous pathway involved in many biological processes. Although primarily related to blood pressure control and inflammation, its activation goes beyond these effects.
