Carrageenan oligomers and salicylic acid act in tandem to escalate artemisinin production by suppressing arsenic uptake and oxidative stress in Artemisia annua (sweet wormwood) cultivated in high arsenic soil
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2021 Apr 5. doi: 10.1007/s11356-021-13241-w. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe present study is aimed to elucidate the effects of concomitant application of irradiated carrageenan (IC) oligomers and salicylic acid (SA) on Artemisia annua L. varieties, viz. "CIM-Arogya" (tolerant) and "Jeevan Raksha" (sensitive) exposed to arsenic (As) stress. Artemisia annua has been known for its sesqui-terpene molecule artemisinin, which is useful in curing malaria. The two compounds, IC and SA, have been established as effective plant growth-promoting molecules for several agricultural and horticultural crops...

Essential oils from < em > Artemisia < /em > species inhibit biofilm formation and the virulence of < em > Escherichia coli < /em > EPEC 2348/69
Biofouling. 2021 Feb 15:1-11. doi: 10.1080/08927014.2021.1886278. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEnteropathogenic Escherichia coli E2346/69 (EPEC) has caused foodborne outbreaks worldwide and the bacterium forms antimicrobial-tolerant biofilms. The anti-biofilm formation of various components of essential oils extracted from selected medicinal plants were investigated and tested on EPEC and wild strains of E. coli. Oils extracted from the family Asteraceae and their major common constituents at 0.031 and 0.062% (V/v) were found to significantly inhibit biofilm formation without affecting the growth of planktonic cells. In a...

The processing of visual food cues during bitter aftertaste perception in females with high vs. low disgust propensity: an fMRI study
AbstractAn extremely bitter taste can signal food spoilage, and therefore typically elicits disgust. The present cross-modal functional magnetic resonance imaging experiment investigated whether the personality trait ‘disgust propensity’ (DP; temporally stable tendency to experience disgust across different situations) has an influence on the processing of visual food cues during bitter aftertaste perception. Thirty females with high DP and 30 females with low DP viewed images depicting sweet food (e.g., cak es, ice cream) and vegetables, once in combination with an extremely bitter aftertaste (concentrated wormwood te...
