Effects of smoking cessation on serum leptin and adiponectin levels
(2015)Background: Evidence on the association of leptin and adiponectin and smoking is limited and discordant. Leptin and adiponectin represent the most abundant adipokines in human plasma that play crucial roles in the ... -
Genetically modified organism-free RNA interference: Exogenous application of RNA molecules in plants1[open]
(2020)Since its discovery more than 20 years ago, RNA interference (RNAi) has been extensively used in crop protection platforms. So far, RNAi approaches have been conventionally based on the use of transgenic plants expressing ... -
Host selection by winged colonisers within the Myzus persicae group: A contribution towards understanding host specialisation
(2005)1. Myzus persicae sensu lato demonstrates considerable genetic variation in respect to adaptation to host plants. The subspecies M. persicae nicotianae shows a preference for tobacco, while M. persicae sensu stricto (s. ... -
Influence of Zeolite and Posidonia oceanica (L.) in the Reduction of Heavy Metal Uptake by Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) Plants of Central Greece
(2017)In two soils from Central Greece, a pot experiment was conducted with the addition of mixture at various ratios of zeolite and compost (based on Posidonia oceanica (L.) leaves) applied at a rate of 5% w/w (calculated on a ... -
Insecticide resistance status of Myzus persicae in Greece: Long-term surveys and new diagnostics for resistance mechanisms
(2016)BACKGROUND: Myzus persicae nicotianae is an important pest in Greece, controlled mainly by neonicotinoids. Monitoring of the aphid populations for resistance mechanisms is essential for effective control. RESULTS: Two new ... -
A mechatronic system for automated topping and suckering of tobacco plants
(2019)In agricultural crops, such as tobacco, the budding part of the plant is removed (topping) and the growth of axillary shoots (called suckers) is controlled with chemicals in order to produce good quality heavy-bodied darker ... -
Overexpression of a biotic stress‐inducible pvgstu gene activates early protective responses in tobacco under combined heat and drought
(2021)Drought and heat stresses are major factors limiting crop growth and productivity, and their effect is more devastating when occurring concurrently. Plant glutathione transferases (GSTs) are differentially expressed in ... -
Passive smoking, asthma and allergy in children
(2009)Despite the recent campaigns to eliminate smoking and hinder the detrimental effects of passive smoking (PS), actual smoking rates still increase worldwide. Several physiological systems, with the respiratory being the ... -
Population-Mediated Responses of Lasioderma serricorne (Coleoptera: Anobiidae) to Different Diagnostic Protocols for Phosphine Efficacy
(2021)We evaluated different monitoring protocols for phosphine resistance in adults of three populations of the cigarette beetle, Lasioderma serricorne (F.), termed LB, 2KT, and E1. The protocols evaluated were as follows: 1) ... -
Prevalence of electronic cigarette use and its determinants among 13‐to‐15‐year‐old students in greece: results from the 2013 global youth tobacco survey (GYTS)
(2020)Electronic cigarette use has increased over the past decade. Its potential role in smoking cessation, in addiction and as a ‘gateway’ to tobacco smoking is subject to intense research. This cross‐sectional study, carried ... -
Response of hrpZPsph-transgenic N. benthamiana plants under cadmium stress
(2021)The hrpZPsph gene from Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola, in its secretable form (SP/hrpZPsph), has previously proven capable of conferring resistance against rhizomania disease as well as abiotic stresses in Nicotiana ... -
Tobacco-specific nitrosamines: A literature review
(2018)Cigarette smoke is a complex mixture of chemicals, including several tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNA). Most TSNA are formed in tobacco during the post-harvest period, while a number are produced when a cigarette is ...
