Environmental Toxicology, Volume 41, Issue 5, Page 257-269, May 2026.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 ...

Ecological Research, Volume 41, Issue 3, May 2026.Selenium hyperaccumulators are plants able to accumulate over 1000 mg/kg in their shoots while growing in their natural environments. The distribution of selenium in the seeds of the three key hyperaccumulating species was elucidated using X‐ray fluorescence microscopy computed tomography (XFM‐CT). ABSTRACT Selenium hyperaccumulators are plants able to

Bridging wheat kernel microstructure and flour rheology occurring during wheat germination
Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 6, Page 3451-3461, April 2026.Abstract BACKGROUND Wheat germination increases α‐amylase activity, leading to significant biochemical and structural changes that influence flour rheological properties. Understanding the correlation between internal kernel structure and flour rheology is essential for predicting processing performance and optimizing the use of germinated wheat in ...

Effect of salt stress on germination and early growth of Haloxylon persicum seedling [PDF]
مجله جنگل ایران, 2015 Fast germination in Haloxylon persicum is considered as an adaptation strategy to salty and drought areas, so that, if enough moisture is prepared for the seeds in a short period, the seeds can germinate and establish very fast.
