Abstract Microplastics (MPs) pollution has recently garnered substantial attention worldwide due to their tendency contaminate ecosystems and transmit toxic substances in the food chain, compromising human health. The primary goal of this study is provide a level understanding about source, occurrence, detection, potential ecological risk MPs Eastern Indian dumping sites years 2022 2023 as well representing scenario encompassing urban, suburban, rural areas. concentrations ranged between 10...
Festivals are significant markers of cultural heritage and community traditions. Nevertheless, every year, increases in pollution levels recorded during celebratory events, due to the overuse firecrackers. This study evaluated gaseous particulate matter (PM) concentrations using a gas sampler, alongside noise measured by sound level meter, pre-to-post-Diwali period 2023 2024 Malda, India, PM Warsaw, Poland 2024, DustAir dust meter. The results indicated that Diwali, PM2.5 PM1 exceeded...
Ultraviolet-B radiation acts as an environmental stimulus, but in high doses it has detrimental effects on plant metabolism. Plasma membranes represent a major target for ROS generated by this harmful radiation. Oxidative reactions occurring the apoplastic space are counteracted antioxidative systems mainly involving ascorbate and, to some extent, glutathione. The occurrence of latter and its exact role extracellular not well documented, however. In Arabidopsis thaliana, gamma-glutamyl...
Fluorescence-based nucleic acid assays frequently exhibit a feeble signal at low analyte concentrations, necessitating complex, expensive methods such as the development of sequence-specific oligo tags, molecular beacons, and chemical modifications to maintain high detection sensitivity. Hence, there is growing interest in accomplishing fluorescence enhancement using robust cost-effective strategies. The study exploits use two compaction agents, PEG 8000 CTAB, compact ITS-2 amplicon fungus...
γ-Glutamyl transferases (GGT; EC 2.3.2.2) are glutathione-degrading enzymes that represented in Arabidopsis thaliana by a small gene family of four members. Two isoforms, GGT1 and GGT2, apoplastic, sharing broad similarities their amino acid sequences, but they differently expressed the tissues: is roots, leaves, siliques, while GGT2 was thought to be only siliques. It demonstrated here also wild-type albeit very amounts. expression enhanced ggt1 knockout mutants, suggesting compensatory...
Particulate matter (PM) pollution poses a severe threat to the environment and health worldwide. This study aimed evaluate mass concentration, physicochemical characteristics, emission sources of aerodynamic diameters ≤1 µm (PM1) within an urban sprawl situated in eastern Indo-Gangetic basin over three years (2017–2019). The encompassed monitoring PM1 using ambient sampler; characteristics were determined through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX),...
Detection of food borne pathogen is outmost importance in the industries and related agencies. For last few decades conventional methods were used to detect pathogens based on phenotypic characters. At advent complementary base pairing amplification DNA, diagnosis became rapid target specific. RNA such as NASBA Real Time RT-PCR are even more sensitive they reflect viability system. This review describes various DNA that widely detection pathogens. Recent become robust with incorporation PCR...
Abstract The effect of ozone on Aspergillus niger causing black rot disease in onion was studied culture. Ozone induced the spore germination all treatments and few spores showed rapid swelling, resulting production 2-3 germ tubes per compared to control. Although treated germinated, them did not produce uniform colony morphology. Some colonies which developed from failed such appeared as grey patches mycelia without amidst surrounding sporulating colonies. Further work is progress study...
Introduction: Recently identified human homologues of ALKB protein have shown the activity DNA damaging drugs, used for cancer therapy. Bioinformatics study hABH2 and hABH3 had led to discovery a novel repair mechanism. Very little is known about structure function hABH4, one members this superfamily. Therefore, in present we are intended predict its through various bioinformatics tools. Materials Methods: Modeling was done with modeler 9v7 3D hABH4 protein. This model validated program...
