1-Methyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole as the main marker of 1,1-dimethylhydrazine exposure in plants
Environ Sci Pollut Res Int. 2022 Jul 27. doi: 10.1007/s11356-022-22157-y. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWith their wide application in chemical industry, human health and environmental toxic effects of hydrazines arise extensive concerns. Although hydrazine exposure is known to lead to inhibition of seed germination and seedling growth in plants, there are few reports about the mechanism of oxidation or transformation ways of hydrazines in plant tissue. In this research, garden cress (Lepidium sativum L.) and zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L.) were used as model plant objects to study 1,1-dimethylhydrazine exposure in vitro usin...

A20/AN1 zinc-finger proteins positively regulate major latex-like proteins, transporting factors toward dioxin-like compounds in Cucurbita pepo
Chemosphere. 2022 Jun 27:135536. doi: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2022.135536. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe Cucurbitaceae family accumulates dioxin-like compounds in its fruits. We previously showed that A20/AN1 zinc finger protein (ZFP) genes were highly expressed in the zucchini (Cucurbita pepo) subspecies pepo, which accumulates dioxin-like compounds at high concentrations. Transgenic tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plants overexpressing A20/AN1 ZFP genes show accumulation of dioxin-like compounds in their upper parts. However, the mechanisms underlying the accumulation of dioxin-like compounds regulated by the A20/AN1 ZFPs ...

In vivo Antiphytoviral Activity of Essential Oils and Hydrosols From Origanum vulgare, Thymus vulgaris, and Rosmarinus officinalis to Control Zucchini Yellow Mosaic Virus and Tomato Leaf Curl New Delhi Virus in Cucurbita pepo L.
In the last decades, the interest in biological activity of natural compounds has been growing. In plant protection, essential oils have been reported to exhibit antiviral, antimycotic, and antiparasitic activities, and are regarded as promising for the formulation of safe antimicrobial agents. Attention has also been focused on hydrosols, the by-products of hydro-distillation of essential oils. Their production is easy, fast, and cheap, and they seem to arise less concern for human health than essential oils. Plant viruses represent a major concern for agricultural crops since no treatment compound is available for virus ...

Application of bacteriophages EP75 and EP335 efficiently reduces viable cell counts of Escherichia coli O157 on beef and vegetables
Food Microbiol. 2022 Jun;104:103978. doi: 10.1016/j.fm.2022.103978. Epub 2022 Jan 13.ABSTRACTShiga toxin producing Escherichia coli (STEC) are common etiological agents of food borne illnesses and outbreaks, most often caused by consuming contaminated beef products, followed by raw vegetables and dairy products. Patients infected with E. coli O157 are more likely hospitalized than patients infected with non-O157 STEC, making E. coli O157 an important target for microbiological interventions. We show that a cocktail of bacteriophages EP75 and EP335 effectively reduces E. coli O157 on beef, romaine lettuce, spinach, and zucc...
