Investigation of 222‐nm ultraviolet C irradiation bactericidal effect on the surgical field in a rabbit model

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
In a rabbit surgical field model seeded with polymicrobial flora, a single dose of 222‐nm UV‐C (500 mJ/cm2) markedly reduced bacterial colonies, achieving a bactericidal effect comparable to 254‐nm UV‐C (200 mJ/cm2), while no UV‐C irradiation showed heavy growth. Wound healing did not differ among groups. Microbiota profiling detected SSI‐relevant taxa

Genetic and environmental regulation of arbuscular mycorrhizal responsiveness in petunia: Implications for breeding and trait selection

Plant Biology, EarlyView.
Arbuscular mycorrhiza responsiveness varies strongly among Petunia species and RILs, representing a genetically determined trait with breeding potential that is nonetheless strongly modulated by environmental conditions. Abstract Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi enhance plant nutrition and stress tolerance, yet their agricultural use remains limited ...
