Microplastics (MPs), in the form of fragments and fibers, were recently found honey samples collected Ecuador as well bees from Denmark China. However, little is known about how MPs impact bee health. To fill this knowledge gap, we investigated potential toxicity irregularly shaped polystyrene (PS)-MP on In first experiment its kind with bees, chronically exposed a well-established gut microbiome to small (27 ± 17 µm) or large (93 25 PS-MP at varying concentrations (1, 10, 100 µg mL−1) for...
Radiolabeled anthranilic diamide insecticide [N-C(3)H(3)]chlorantraniliprole was synthesized at high specific activity. It compared with phthalic flubendiamide and [(3)H]ryanodine in radioligand binding studies house fly muscle membranes to provide the first direct evidence a native insect ryanodine receptor that major insecticides bind different allosterically coupled sites, i.e., there are three distinct Ca(2+)-release channel targets for action.
Boscalid is a succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor fungicide and frequently detected in surface water. Due to the frequent detection of boscalid, we evaluated its impact on reproduction adult zebrafish following 21 d exposure 0, 0.01, 0.1, 1.0 mg/L. Following fertility female fertilization rate spawning eggs were reduced concentration-dependent manner up respective 87% 20% highest concentration. A significant 16% reduction percentage late vitellogenic oocytes was noted ovaries, 74% spermatids...
Genetically identical female honeybee larvae with different diets develop into sterile workers or fertile queens. It remains unknown whether the reversible RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) mark functionally impact this "caste differentiation." Here, we profile transcriptome-wide m6A methylome of queen and worker at three instar stages discover that methylation dynamics are altered by differential feeding. Multiple comparisons show an obvious increase in marks during larval development reveal a...
Anthranilic and phthalic diamides act on the ryanodine receptor (RyR), which constitutes Ca(2+)-activated Ca(2+) channel can be assayed as shown here in Heliothis thoracic muscle tissue with anthranilic diamide [(3)H]chlorantraniliprole ([(3)H]Chlo), [(3)H]flubendiamide ([(3)H]Flu), [(3)H]ryanodine ([(3)H]Ry). Using [(3)H]Chlo or [(3)H]Flu gives very similar binding site structure-activity correlations, indicating a common site. The stimulation of [(3)H]Ry generally parallels their...
Abstract Thifluzamide is a new amide fungicide, and its extensive application may have toxic effects on zebrafish. To better understand the underlying mechanism, we investigated in detail potential of thifluzamide zebrafish embryos. In present study, embryos were exposed to 0, 0.19, 1.90, 2.85 mg/L for 4 days. Obvious pathological changes found upon histological exam, negative mitochondrial structure observed under Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), which qualitatively noted Moreover,...
