The Role of Edible Bulbous Layers on Macro, Micro, and Heavy Metal Contents of Leek (Allium porrum) Plant
In this study, the degree of accumulation of biogenic element and heavy metal contents of different parts and edible layers of leeks cultivated in Konya in Turkey was revealed. The amounts of P and K of leek were determined from 154.69 (leaf top of leek) and 985.05 mg/kg (root of leek) to 1377.63 (onion part of leek) and 2688.50 mg/kg (root of leek), respectively. P and K contents of leek layers changed from 139.45 (1st layer) and 446.63 mg/kg (7th layer) to 1596.69 (2nd layer) and 2201.53 mg/kg (4th layer), respectively. While Ca amounts of leek parts vary between 577.09 (leaf of leek) and 666.87 mg/kg (root of leek), Mg ...

The effects of a glyphosate-based herbicide on the bovine gametes during an in vitro embryo production model

Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRoundup® (R), while it is the most used herbicide globally, and its residues are ubiquitous in urban and suburban areas, its impact on vertebrates' safety remains highly debated. Here, in three in vitro experiments, we investigated the effects of a very low dose (1 ppm) of R on the fertilization capacity and embryo development in cattle. In the first experiment, frozen-thawed bull semen exposed to R for 1 h exhibited reduced motility parameters but unaffected fertilization ability. However, after in vitro fertilization, th...

Zinc-Substituted Hemoglobin-Albumin Cluster as a Porphyrin-Carrier for Enhanced Photodynamic Therapy
Chem Asian J. 2024 Apr 17:e202400257. doi: 10.1002/asia.202400257. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTApohemoprotein is focused on the field of theranostics, serving as a porphyrin carrier. Hemoglobin (Hb) consists of α2β2 tetramer with iron(II)-protoporphyrin IX (heme) bound to each globin. However, heme-removed Hb (apoHb) causes dissociation at αβ interfaces and aggregation under physiological conditions. We synthesized a stable apoHb derivative comprising intramolecular-crosslinked apoHb (apoXHb) and human serum albumin (HSA), apoXHb-HSA3. ApoXHb-HSA3 engendered no aggregates in the physiological solutions. Moreover, apo...

Materials analysis in three paintings of Thomas Gainsborough (1727-1788) by portable X-ray fluorescence
Appl Radiat Isot. 2024 Apr 16;209:111324. doi: 10.1016/j.apradiso.2024.111324. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThree paintings of Thomas Gainsborough (1727-1788), one of the most influential English portrait painters of the late 18th century, from the collection of the Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP) - "Francis Rawdon" (1783-1784), "Portrait of Mrs. John Bolton" (1770), and "Drinkstone Park" (1747) - were investigated using portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF), employing a W tube anode and an XR-100CR detector. These artworks represent the only paintings by Thomas Gainsborough located in the southern hemisphere. Through an ...

GSE237742 The N-terminal dimerization domains of human and Drosophila CTCF have similar functionality
Contributors : O Maksimenko ; N KlimenkoSeries Type : Genome binding/occupancy profiling by high throughput sequencingOrganism : Drosophila melanogasterCTCF is the main architectural protein found in the majority of examined bilaterians. CTCFs of various organisms contain unstructured N-terminal dimerization domain (DD) along with clusters consisting of eleven zinc-finger domains of C2H2 type. The Drosophila (dCTCF) and human (hCTCF) CTCF share sequence homology only in five C2H2 domains that specifically bind to conserved 15 bp motif. By using CTCFattP(mCh) platform to introduce desired changes in the Drosophila CTCF ge...
