Genes, Vol. 13, Pages 2109: Cloning and Functional Analysis of NoMYB60 Gene Involved in Flavonoid Biosynthesis in Watercress (Nasturtium officinale R. Br.)
In this study, NoMYB60 was cloned from watercress and its structure and function were analyzed. Sequence structure analysis showed that NoMYB60 had a highly conserved R2R3 DNA-binding region at the N-terminus. Under the treatment of ABA, SA or MeJA, the expression level of NoMYB60 first significantly increased and then decreased, indicating that ABA, SA and MeJA positively regulated NoMYB60. The subcellular localization of NoMYB60-GFP indicated that NoMYB60 was localized in the nuclear region, which is consistent with the molecular characterization of the transcription factor. Gene silencing experiments were also performed...

Synthesis and effect of CoCuFeNi high entropy alloy nanoparticles on seed germination, plant growth, and microorganisms inactivation activity
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2022 Nov 2. doi: 10.1007/s11356-022-23918-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTImplementation of nanotechnology in agriculture is of interest primarily to improve the growth and productivity of crops, and to minimize the use of traditional expensive chemical fertilizers. This work presents a simple energy-conservative approach for the synthesis of CoCuFeNi high entropy alloy nanoparticles (HEA-NPs) capable of forming a stable suspension with a concentration of 0.3 g/L. The size, composition, and morphology of the nanoparticles were analyzed by XRD, SEM, TEM, and EDS. Obtained HEA-NPs were characteri...

The Content of Cd and Pb in Herbs and Single-Component Spices Used in Polish Cuisine
Biol Trace Elem Res. 2022 Oct 7. doi: 10.1007/s12011-022-03437-7. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSpices and herbs play an important role in the human diet, mostly due to the presence of essential oils and high antioxidant activity. Therefore, the toxicity of metals raises concerns about the safety of consumption of spices and herbs. This paper examines the content of Cd and Pb in fresh and dried herbs and single-component spices that are the most popular in Polish cuisine: 100 samples of nine kinds of dried herbs, 184 samples of 15 kinds of fresh herbs and 148 samples of 14 kinds of loose single-component spices. The level ...

The antibacterial activity of nasturtium officinale extract on common oral pathogenic bacteria
Conclusion: N. officinale extract effectively inhibited the growth of the tested oral bacteria at different concentrations but was more effective against S. mutans, E. faecalis, and S. aureus and so may be effective in managing some oral microbial infections.
