This work evaluated the removal of a mixture eight antibiotics (i.e. ampicillin (AMP), azithromycin (AZM), erythromycin (ERY), clarithromycin (CLA), ofloxacin (OFL), sulfamethoxazole (SMX), trimethoprim (TMP) and tetracycline (TC)) from urban wastewater, by ozonation operated in continuous mode at different hydraulic retention times (HRTs) 10, 20, 40 60 min) specific ozone doses 0.125, 0.25, 0.50 0.75 gO3 gDOC- 1). As expected, efficiency was highly dose- contact time-dependent. The parent...
The World Health Organization Global Action Plan recommends integrated surveillance programs as crucial strategies for monitoring antibiotic resistance. Although several national are in place clinical and veterinary settings, no such schemes exist antibiotic-resistant bacteria the environment. In this transnational study, we developed, validated, tested a low-cost easy to implement approach evaluate resistance wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) by targeting cefotaxime-resistant (CTX-R)...
Lathyrus sativus (grass pea) is a valuable crop for sustainable agriculture, offering dietary benefits and desirable agronomic traits. However, its yield stability limited by diseases such as powdery mildew caused Erysiphe pisi. Increasing fungal resistance to pesticides environmental concerns demand the development of resistant varieties. To identify key defense mechanisms effector genes involved in sativus-Erysiphe pisi interaction we analyzed four L. accessions exhibiting varying E....
Standardized methods are needed to support monitoring of antibiotic resistance in environmental samples. Culture-based target species human-health relevance, while the direct quantification genes (ARGs) measures potential microbial community. This study compared measurements tetracycline-, sulphonamide-, and cefotaxime-resistant presumptive total fecal coliforms enterococci versus a suite ARGs quantified by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) across waste-, recycled-, tap-,...
Abstract Bactrocera oleae (Rossi) (Diptera: Tephritidae) is considered the most devastating pest of olive tree worldwide. In an effort to develop management and biological control strategies against this pest, new molecular tools are urgently needed. study, we present design B. -specific primers based on mitochondrial DNA sequences cytochrome oxidase subunit I ( COI ) gene. Two pairs were successfully designed named as SBo1-F/SBo1-R SBo2-F/SBo1-R, being able amplify 108 214 bp fragments,...
ABSTRACT DELLA proteins modulate GA signalling and are major regulators of plant plasticity to endure stress. DELLAs mostly regulated at the post-translational level, their activity relies on interaction with upstream transcription factors (TFs). SUMOylation is a modification (PTM) capable changing protein found influence in Arabidopsis. We determined that single rice SLENDER RICE1 (SLR1) occurs lysine residue different from one previously identified Arabidopsis REPRESSOR OF (RGA)....

SUMOylation of SLR1 at K2 protects productivity under salt stress, possibly by modulation interactome. DELLA proteins modulate GA signaling and are major regulators plant plasticity to endure stress. DELLAs mostly regulated the post-translational level, their activity relies on interaction with upstream transcription factors (TFs). is a modification (PTM) capable changing protein has been found influence in Arabidopsis. We determined that single rice DELLA, SLENDER RICE1 (SLR1), occurs...
DELLA proteins are a unique class of transcriptional regulators in plants, playing critical roles diverse biological processes. Far from being only negative the Gibberellin (GA) signalling pathway, DELLAs act as central hubs due to their versatile binding capacity and responsiveness GA fluctuations. This adaptability allows interact with wide array but also makes functional study challenging: disruptions function lead pleiotropic effects across multiple pathways. To address this complexity,...
Chromatin Immunoprecipitation followed by sequencing (ChIP-seq) is a powerful technique for identifying transcription factor (TF) binding sites across the genome. By combining immunoprecipitation of DNA-bound TFs with high-throughput sequencing, it enables precise mapping target regions. However, applying ChIP in plants remains challenging due to low abundance many TFs, which often results weak signals and requirement large amounts starting material. Obtaining sufficient tissue particularly...
