Dissipation and adsorption of isoproturon, tebuconazole, chlorpyrifos and their main transformation products under laboratory and field conditions
(2016)Assessment of dissipation constitutes an integral part of pesticides risk assessment since it provides an estimate of the level and the duration of exposure of the terrestrial ecosystem to pesticides. Within the frame of ... -
Editorial: Microbial Ecotoxicology Advances to Improve Environmental and Human Health Under Global Change
(2022)[No abstract available] -
The effect of glyphosate on human sperm motility and sperm DNA fragmentation
(2018)Glyphosate is the active ingredient of Roundup®, which is one of the most popular herbicides worldwide. Although many studies have focused on the reproductive toxicity of glyphosate or glyphosate-based herbicides, the ... -
Environmental impacts of genetically modified plants: A review
(2017)Powerful scientific techniques have caused dramatic expansion of genetically modified crops leading to altered agricultural practices posing direct and indirect environmental implications. Despite the enhanced yield ... -
The EU endocrine disruptors’ regulation and the glyphosate controversy
(2021)Endocrine disruptors are compounds that alter the functioning of the endocrine system of humans and wildlife. A large number of chemicals have been identified as EDs and humans can be exposed to them through dietary and/or ... -
Humic and Fulvic Acids as Specific Sorbents of Herbicides in Water
(2021)The ability of humic and fulvic acids (isolated from lignite with a simple, quick, and inexpensive method) to bind the active ingredients of herbicides contaminating drinking water is evaluated. During this study drinking ... -
Insights into the function and horizontal transfer of isoproturon degradation genes (pdmAB) in a biobed system
(2020)Biobeds, designed to minimize pesticide point source contamination, rely mainly on biodegradation processes. We studied the interactions of a biobed microbial community with the herbicide isoproturon (IPU) to explore the ... -
Multiple resistance of silky windgrass to acetolactate synthase-and acetyl-CoA synthase-inhibiting herbicides
(2022)Field and pot experiments were conducted in Greece to study the occurrence of resistance in silky windgrass to acetolactate synthase (ALS)-and acetyl-CoA synthase (ACCase)-inhibiting herbicides. Twenty-four populations of ... -
Nicosulfuron application in agricultural soils drives the selection towards NS-tolerant microorganisms harboring various levels of sensitivity to nicosulfuron
(2016)The action mode of sulfonylurea herbicides is the inhibition of the acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) required for the biosynthesis of amino acids valine and isoleucine in plants. However, this enzyme is also present in a ... -
Pesticides and cardiotoxicity. Where do we stand?
(2018)Cardiovascular diseases are among the most significant causes of mortality in humans. Pesticides toxicity and risk for human health are controlled at a European level through a well-developed regulatory network, but ... -
Shikimate leaf disc assay for early detection of glyphosate resistance in Conyza canadensis and relative transcript levels of EPSPS and ABC transporter genes
(2012)Nol N, Tsikou D, Eid M, Livieratos IC & Giannopolitis CN (2012). Shikimate leaf disc assay for early detection of glyphosate resistance in Conyza canadensis and relative transcript levels of EPSPS and ABC transporter genes. ... -
Terrestrial isopods as bioindicators for environmental monitoring in olive groves and natural ecosystems
(2019)Terrestrial isopods (Crustacea: Isopoda: Oniscidea) are an important component of biodiversity as they constitute useful bioindicators for monitoring environmental quality in a variety of natural and agricultural ecosystems. ... -
Weed interference with peppermint (Mentha x piperita L.) and spearmint (Mentha spicata L.) crops under different herbicide treatments: effects on biomass and essential oil yield
(2018)BACKGROUND: ‘Minor crops’ such as spearmint and peppermint are high added value crops, despite the fact that their production area is comparably small worldwide. The main limiting factor in mint commercial cultivation is ...
