Pesticide Supply Chains From China to Australia: Examining Paraquat Amid the Global Pesticide Complex

Journal of Agrarian Change, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Following recent calls to deepen understanding of the Global Pesticide Complex, this article delves into the China‐to‐Australia supply chain of a single herbicide—paraquat. First released in the United Kingdom in the 1960s, acutely toxic paraquat is now primarily produced in China.

Superoxide Dismutase of Micrococcus sp. S2 and Its Involve in Paraquat Detoxification

Indonesian Journal of Biotechnology, 2015
As an active ingredient of herbicide, paraquat will induce formation of superoxide radicals. The previousresearch succeeded in isolating paraquat degrading bacteria from peat soil, Micrococcus sp. S2, that tolerant to highconcentration of paraquat.

MANF inhibits NLRP3 inflammasome activation by competitively binding to DDX3X in paraquat-stimulated alveolar macrophages

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
NLRP3 inflammasome activation in macrophages is involved in paraquat-induced acute lung injury (ALI). MANF exerts an inhibitory effect against inflammation and cell death.

Paraquat, but not maneb, induces synucleinopathy and tauopathy in striata of mice through inhibition of proteasomal and autophagic pathways. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
SNCA and MAPT genes and environmental factors are important risk factors of Parkinson's disease [PD], the second-most common neurodegenerative disease. The agrichemicals maneb and paraquat selectively target dopaminergic neurons, leading to parkinsonism,

Screening for Fall Armyworm (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) Resistance in Early‐Maturing Tropical Maize Adapted to Sub‐Saharan Africa

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fall armyworm (FAW) (Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith) has emerged as a serious pest since 2016 in Africa, affecting the food security and livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers, especially those growing maize. Native genetic resistance to FAW is essential for reducing yield loss.

Saffron aqueous extract effects on paraquat and glyphosate concentration in common carp (Cyprinus carpio) tissues

Agricultural &Environmental Letters, Volume 11, Issue 2, December 2026.
Reduced bioaccumulation of PQ and GLY by saffron extract in Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) tissues Abstract Herbicides such as paraquat (PQ) and glyphosate (GLY) pose ecological and public health risks because of their persistence, bioaccumulation, and toxicity to aquatic organisms. This study evaluated whether aqueous saffron extract (Crocus sativus L.)

Environmental Pesticide Exposure in the Etiology of Pediatric Brain Tumors and Leukemia: A Scoping Review of Epidemiological Studies

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 159, Issue 6, Page 1360-1384, 15 September 2026.
ABSTRACT Pediatric cancer is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in children. The etiologies of pediatric cancer are largely unknown, but environmental pesticide exposures are likely to contribute. Chronic low‐dose exposure to pesticide mixtures through drinking water is a growing concern in agricultural communities.

Differences of endogenous polyamines and putative genes associated with paraquat resistance in goosegrass (Eleusine indica L.).

PLoS ONE, 2019
BackgroundParaquat is one of the most effective herbicides used to control weeds in agricultural management, while the pernicious weed goosegrass (Eleusine indica) has evolved resistance to herbicides, including paraquat.
