Assessment of antioxidant/anticarcinogenic activity of plant extracts by a combination of molecular methods
(2005)Cancer chemoprevention is considered to be a promising approach for cancer control, as it has been identified by both epidemiological and molecular studies that environmental factors are the major causes of cancer. ... -
Bioavailability and health risk assessment of potentially toxic elements in Thriasio Plain, near Athens, Greece
(2017)Elevated concentrations of potentially toxic elements (PTEs) are usually found in areas of intense industrial activity. Thriasio Plain is a plain near Athens, Greece, where most of the heavy industry of the country has ... -
Bioavailability and risk assessment of potentially toxic elements in garden edible vegetables and soils around a highly contaminated former mining area in Germany
(2017)Although soil contamination by potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in Europe has a history of many centuries, related problems are often considered as having been dealt with due to the enforcement of tight legislations. ... -
Computational fluid dynamics modelling of the microclimate within the boundary layer of leaves leading to improved pest control management and low-input greenhouse
(2021)This work aims at using the Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) approach to study the distributed microclimate in the leaf boundary layer of greenhouse crops. Understanding the interactions in this microclimate of this natural ... -
The effects of aphid traits on parasitoid host use and specialist advantage
(2016)Specialization is a central concept in ecology and one of the fundamental properties of parasitoids. Highly specialized parasitoids tend to be more efficient in host-use compared to generalized parasitoids, presumably owing ... -
Effects of the active constituent of Crocus sativus L. crocin on recognition and spatial rats' memory
(2007)Crocus Sativus L. is a plant cultivated in various parts of the world. Its involvement in learning and memory processes has been proposed. The present study was designed to investigate in the rat the effects of the active ... -
Factors affecting biodiversity in agrosylvopastoral ecosystems with in the Mediterranean Basin: A systematic review
(2018)The biodiversity of Mediterranean agrosylvopastoral ecosystems has been extensively studied, because the Mediterranean Basin is a crossroad of biogeographical influences between cold temperate biota and subtropical species. ... -
Feeding studies on gynoparae, males and apterous virginoparae of Myzus persicae on potato by electrical penetration graph
(2004)Feeding behaviour of parthenogenetic apterae, post-teneral gynoparae and males of a holocyclic parthenogenetic lineage of Myzus persicae (Sulzer) (Hem., Aphididae) was studied on potato plants, Solanum tuberosum L. ... -
Human health risk via soil ingestion of potentially toxic elements and remediation potential of native plants near an abandoned mine spoil in Ghana
(2021)Integrated studies about potentially toxic elements (PTEs) in sites near gold mining spoils, their contamination and human health risk, as well as remediation potential of native plants are limited. Therefore, our aim was ... -
Ménage à Trois: Unraveling the Mechanisms Regulating Plant–Microbe–Arthropod Interactions
(2020)Plant–microbe–arthropod (PMA) three-way interactions have important implications for plant health. However, our poor understanding of the underlying regulatory mechanisms hampers their biotechnological applications. To ... -
Microclimatic effects of planted hydroponic structures in urban environment: measurements and simulations
(2017)The objectives of this effort was to study the effect of vertical (green wall) and horizontal (pergola) green structures on the microclimate conditions of the building surroundings and estimate the thermal perception and ... -
NAT/NCS2-hound: a webserver for the detection and evolutionary classification of prokaryotic and eukaryotic nucleobase-cation symporters of the NAT/NCS2 family
(2018)Nucleobase transporters are important for supplying the cell with purines and/or pyrimidines, for controlling the intracellular pool of nucleotides, and for obtaining exogenous nitrogen/carbon sources for metabolism. ... -
Phytoremediation potential of twelve wild plant species for toxic elements in a contaminated soil
(2021)Green remediation of soils highly contaminated with potentially toxic elements (PTEs) can be achieved using suitable plants. Such phytoremediation procedure often takes into consideration PTE concentrations in plants only, ... -
Plant phenolics protect from bleomycin-induced oxidative stress and mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium TA102
(2004)Antioxidants are deemed to be important against DNA damage and mutations induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS). An assay for the ability of plant phenolics to protect against mutations caused by bleomycin treatment in ... -
Soil dynamics of Cr(VI) and responses of Portulaca oleracea L. grown in a Cr(VI)-spiked soil under different nitrogen fertilization regimes
(2022)The reduction potential of the highly toxic Cr(VI) to the inert Cr(III) in an alkaline soil was studied during a 50-day experiment with Portulaca oleracea L. grown in pots. We aimed at assessing whether our test species ... -
Unraveling the roles of plant specialized metabolites: using synthetic biology to design molecular biosensors
(2021)Plants are a rich source of specialized metabolites with a broad range of bioactivities and many applications in human daily life. Over the past decades significant progress has been made in identifying many such metabolites ...
