Transposable elements: Functional aspects and applications as drivers of crop innovation

open access: yesCrop Science, Volume 66, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Transposable elements (TEs), which were once relegated to the status of genomic parasites, are today accepted as important agents of plant genome evolution and adaptation. This review integrates evidence pointing to their dual function as drivers of genetic diversity and instability, with a focus on their contribution to phenotypic innovation,

Antimutagenic effect of genistein

open access: yesCzech Journal of Food Sciences, 2006
A great variety of health benefits including the protection against breast and prostate cancers has been attributed to the soya consumption, because of the presence of soy beans isoflavones, genistein, and others. We investigated the antigenotoxic effect

An In Vitro and In Vivo Assessment of the Genotoxic Potential of Maizinol (UP165), a Zea mays Leaf Extract

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, Volume 46, Issue 3, Page 950-960, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Benzoxazinoids are secondary metabolites produced in monocotyledons and some dicotyledons from the Acanthaceae, Ranunculaceae, Scrophulariaceae, Plantaginaceae, and Lamiaceae families. Benzoxazinoids are commonly consumed in bread and cereal products that have been ingested for decades, which supports the safe use of benzoxazinoids as food ...

Spectrum and frequency of mutations induced by gamma rays and EMS in okra [Abelmoschus esculentus (L.) Moench]

open access: yesElectronic Journal of Plant Breeding, 2017
The seeds of okra variety P-8 were treated with different concentrations of gamma rays (65kR, 75kR and 85kR), EMS (1.2%, 1.4% and 1.6%) and their combinations to obtain the phenotypic response during M2 generation.

Are Tetrapleura tetraptera Phytochemicals Druggable Against SARS‐CoV‐2 Papain‐Like Protein? A Computational Approach

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
SARS‐CoV2 Omicron and its substrains are still a critical global health issue and extremely contagious, even with widespread vaccination efforts. Hospitalizations and mortality rates linked to these variants are still prevalent. Current therapeutic options face challenges, including low effectiveness, suboptimal pharmacokinetics, and drug resistance ...

Gamma rays and EMS induced Flower Color Mutation in Grasspea (Lathyrus sativus Linn.)

open access: yesJournal of Agricultural Sciences, 2017
To induce flower color mutants in Grasspea (Lathyrus sativus Linn.) variety “Pusa-24“, the fresh seeds were exposed to 4 different doses of gamma radiation as physical mutagens (100, 200, 300 and 400 Gy) and treated with 4 different concentration of ...

Distribution and activity of nitrate and nitrite reductases in the microbiota of the human intestinal tract

open access: yesThe FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 6, Page 1624-1642, March 2026.
Nitrate from food is first converted to nitrite by oral bacteria and then further processed in the intestine. The gut microbiota reduces nitrate and nitrite to ammonia or nitric oxide, preventing the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines. Our analysis highlights Escherichia coli as a key player in this detoxification process, supported by other ...
