Toxic effects of co-exposure to polystyrene nanoplastics and arsenic in zebrafish (Danio rerio): Oxidative stress, physiological and biochemical responses by Guoxin Li, Min Lv, Heng Zhang, Dandan Zhang, Haitao Yu, Qingsong Li, Lei Wang

“…Furthermore, the activities of glutathione-S-transferase and glutathione peroxidase in the liver and intestine were found to be instrumental in mitigating oxidative stress during co-exposure. Furthermore, the presence of PS-NPs led to a further reduction in As-induced acetylcholinesterase activity in the liver and intestine of zebrafish. …”

Synergistic effects of melatonin and chitosan in alleviating drought stress in saffron: (Crocus sativus) insights into plant growth and biochemical responses by Sahar A. A. Malik Al-Saadi, Karzan Omer Qader, Hatem Mohammed Hasan, Masoumeh Eskandari, Heidar Meftahizade

“…Abstract Saffron (Crocus sativus L.) is recognized as a strategic crop with high economic, nutritional, and cultural value in Iran; however, in recent years, its yield has significantly declined due to climate change, particularly drought stress. This study was conducted to evaluate the combined effects of drought stress at three field capacity (FC) levels (100%, 70%, and 40%), melatonin (100, 200, and 400 mg/L), and chitosan (100, 150, and 200 mg/L) on saffron performance over two years. …”

Evaluation of bread wheat Triticum aestivum L. callus genotypes for water stress tolerance using Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) by Baghdad Science Journal

“…A fixed callus weight of 150 mg was induced from immature embryos of three bread wheat Triticum aestivum L. genotypes (Tamos 2, El-izz and Mutant 1) cultured on nutrient medium {MS) containing Polyethylene glycol (PEG-6000) supplemented with concentrations (0.0, 3.0, 6.0, 9.0 or 12.0%) to evaluate their tolerance to water stress. Cultures were incubated in darkness at temperature of 25?…”
