Salt tolerant Pseudomonas taiwanensis PWR-1 in combination with a reduced dose of mineral fertilizers improves the nutritional and antioxidant properties of wheatgrass grown in saline soil
AbstractSalt-tolerant plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (ST-PGPR) are known to ameliorate salt stress in plants by various mechanisms. The current study aims to investigate the role of an ST-PGPR strainPseudomonas taiwanensis PWR-1 applied along with a reduced dose of mineral fertilizers (N, P, and K) in the improvement of the antioxidant and nutritional properties of wheatgrass (Triticum aestivum L.) grown in saline soil. Application ofP. taiwanensis PWR-1 along with 50% of the recommended dose of mineral fertilizers resulted in a significant improvement of growth parameters including shoot length (22.79%), root length...

Modulation of wheatgrass ( < em > Triticum aestivum Linn < /em > ) toxicity against breast cancer cell lines by simulated microgravity
This study scrutinizes the effects of simulated microgravity on the antioxidant and cytotoxic potential, along with the phytochemical content of wheatgrass (Triticum aestivum Linn). To imitate microgravity, wheatgrass seeds were germinated in a 3D-clinostat at different rotations per minute (5, 10, 15, and 20 rpm), together with terrestrial gravity control, over 10 days. After germination, the methanolic extracts were analyzed using UPLC-Triple Quad LCMS for their phytochemical composition and tested for their hydrogen peroxide, nitric oxide, and DPPH scavenging activities. The cytotoxic effects of these extracts were eval...

Capacity Building of a Self-Reliant Model Community for Cholangiocarcinoma Prevention by Producing Fruit and Vegetable Juice Products in a High-Risk Area of Thailand
Conclusions: These findings demonstrated that improving communities' capacity to be health leaders by producing FVPs to prevent CCA in high-risk areas is critical to early disease prevention and community health care. These issues can also be applied to public policy implications for other regions and diseases in order to emphasize community health care and long-term community development.PMID:36853325 | DOI:10.31557/APJCP.2023.24.2.725 (Source: Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention)
