Forestry works using chainsaws result in up to 7 million liters of various mineral oils being soaked annually into forest soils. These substances, containing a complex mixture polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), are highly toxic. The aim the study was determine effect oil contamination with PAHs on physical and biological properties area located southern Poland Miechów district. experiment conducted four treatment blocks amounts addition. included determination PAH content,...
The aim of the study was to assess role salicylic acid (SA) and abscisic (ABA) in osmotic stress tolerance wheat seedlings. This accomplished by determining impact acids applied exogenously on seedlings grown under hydroponics. investigation unique its comprehensiveness, examining changes other conditions, testing a number parameters simultaneously. In both drought susceptible (SQ1) resistant (CS) cultivars, significant physiological biochemical were observed upon addition SA (0.05 mM) or...
Abstract Drought is one of the major threats to food security. Among several mechanisms involved in plant stress tolerance, protein family—the metallothioneins (MTs)—shows great promise for enhancing drought resistance. Plant oat ( Avena sativa L.) have not yet been deeply analysed, and literature lacks a comprehensive study whole family MTs response drought. In this study, we showed that number nature cis -elements linked with promoters AsMTs1–3 differed depending on MT type. plants caused...
Somatic embryogenesis (SE) of Cyathea delgadii presents a model system for investigating the mechanisms associated with acquisition embryogenic competence by single epidermal cells stipe explants cultured on plant growth regulator-free medium. The present work reveals relationship between endogenous hormone and sugar content in process early SE C. delgadii. By comparing two types initial explants, i.e. incapable (non-etiolated) capable (etiolated) SE, it was established that etiolated...
This research’s scope encompassed biotechnological, phytochemical, and biological studies of Schisandra henryi, including investigations into its in vitro microshoot culture grown PlantForm bioreactors (temporary immersion systems, TISs), as well extracts from leaves the parent plant, focusing on anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anticancer, antimicrobial activities. The phytochemical analysis included isolation quantification 17 compounds dibenzocyclooctadiene, aryltetralin lignans,...
Effective microspore embryogenesis in triticale is determined by a specific hormonal homeostasis: low value of IAA/cytokinins, IAA/ABA and cytokinins/ABA ratios as well proper endogenous/exogenous auxin balance, which favours androgenic structure formation green plant regeneration ability. The concentration growth regulators (PGRs): auxins (Auxs), cytokinins (CKs) abscisic acid (ABA) was measured anthers eight DH lines (× Triticosecale Wittm.), associated with (ME) responsiveness. analysis...
Abstract Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are the products of incomplete combustion organic materials, which present in cigarette smoke, deep‐fried food, and natural crude oil. Since PAH‐metabolites form DNA adducts cause oxidative damage, we asked if these environmental carcinogens could affect transforming potential human Polyomavirus JC oncoprotein, T‐antigen (JCV T‐antigen). We extracted DMSO soluble PAHs from Deepwater Horizon oil spill Gulf Mexico (oil‐PAHs), detected several...
The physiological reasons for the differences in sensitivity of C3 and C4 plant species to environmental stresses have not been thoroughly explained. In this study effects drought stress on growth selected traits were examined seedlings 13 single cross maize (C4 plant) hybrids 11 spring triticale (C3 breeding lines varieties differing sensitivity. For plants seedling stage results demonstrated a genetic variation dry matter accumulation shoots roots (DWS, DWR), number (N) length (L)...
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have emerged as efficient light sources for promoting in vitro plant growth and primary secondary metabolite biosynthesis. This study investigated the effects of blue, red, white-red LED lights on biomass growth, photosynthetic pigments, soluble sugars, phenolic compounds, production Amaryllidaceae alkaloids, activities antioxidant enzymes Leucojum aestivum L. cultures. A white fluorescent was used a control. The plants that were grown under red showed highest...
We investigated the modification of cold-induced mechanisms photosynthetic apparatus adjustment and phytohormone response by brassinosteroid 24-epibrassinolide (EBR) its consequences for frost tolerance perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.). recorded responses two cultivars with contrasting tolerances to foliar hormone application, both in non-acclimated plants cold acclimated 3 6 weeks at 4 °C. In non-cold-acclimated cultivars, EBR induced increases carbon fixation lowered sucrose levels....
The aim of the study was to examine combinations base oils and herbal additives with a view obtaining macerates improved health benefits. Base were cold-pressed from seeds black cumin, borage, evening primrose, safflower, walnut, common hazel, oilseed rape, as well flesh sea-buckthorn fruits. They then supplemented herbs, including basil, thyme, sage, in order create macerates. Total antioxidant activity tocopherol level analyzed oils, macerates, oil cakes. Additionally, chemical properties...
Abstract Aims Due to the lack of experimental databases, together with chemical complexity and dynamic nature plants' metabolome, most metabolites in complex biological materials (like plant vitro tissue cultures) are not‐annotated, unidentified metabolites. In this study, a method for further metabolite characterization classification based on UPLC‐HESI‐HRMS/MS approach small‐leaved basil ( Ocimum basilicum L. var. minimum Alef.) callus cell suspension culture is presented. Key results A...
Abstract We investigated changes in concentrations of abscisic (ABA) and salicylic acid (SA), phenolic compounds phenylalanine ammonia‐lyase (PAL) activity relation to cold‐induced tolerance four androgenic genotypes Festulolium ( Festuca × Lolium hybrids ) frost the snow mould fungus Microdochium nivale . Cold acclimation increased resistance mould. Resistant were characterized by higher ABA during first 54 h cold lower SA than susceptible genotypes. After acclimation, content phenolics was...
Culinary rhubarb is a vegetable crop, valued for its stalks, very rich in different natural bioactive ingredients. In commercial stalk production, the bud dormancy development and release are crucial processes that determine yields quality of stalks. To date, reports on regulation, however, lacking. It known status depends cultivars. The study aimed to regulation valuable selection 'Malinowy'. Changes carbohydrate, total phenolic, endogenous hormone levels, gene expression levels during were...
DNA-bound Hoechst 33258 is readily excited with UV light and emits blue fluorescence, however, upon exposure to UV, the dye undergoes photobleaching as well photoconversion a blue-excited green-emitting form. We demonstrate that UV-generated form of exhibits spectral properties very similar can be obtained by subjecting it an acidic environment (pH 0.5-3.0). also (or hydrogen peroxide) leads generation protonated (1+, 2+, 3+ possibly 4+) forms dye. Photoconversion has recently been exploited...
Abstract Ten doubled haploid (DH) lines of winter barley with an increased range freezing/drought tolerance were used to identify phytohormones involved in plant stress acclimation. Cold hardening and drought applied at the most critical stages development on young seedlings heading plants, respectively. The level was significantly higher heading, more than 5-fold respect salicylic acid (SA) total brassinosteroids (BRs) 1.7-fold case abscisic (ABA). Moreover, spectrum detectable BRs from...
Cisplatin is one of the most widely used and effective anticancer drugs against solid tumors including cerebellar tumor childhood, Medulloblastoma. However, cancer cells often develop resistance to cisplatin, which limits therapeutic effectiveness this otherwise genotoxic drug. In study, we demonstrate that human medulloblastoma cell lines acute cisplatin in presence estrogen receptor (ER) antagonist, ICI182,780. This unexpected finding involves a switch from G2/M G1 checkpoint accompanied...
