Abstract Owing to the growing need for natural materials in different fields, studying melanin production from biological sources is imperative. In current study, extracellular pigment was produced by fungus Curvularia soli AS21 ON076460. The factors that affect of were optimized Plackett-Burman design (P-BD). effect gamma irradiation on productivity investigated. maximum yield (3.376 mg/L) elicited a stimulus at 1.0 kGy. results evoked that, ON076460 exhibited excellent antimicrobial activity against all tested bacteria and fungi. Klebsiella pneumoniae ATCC 13883 P. digitatum mostly affected registering inhibition zone diameters 37.51 ± 0.012 44.25 0.214 mm, respectively. Moreover, indicated significant antiviral efficacy (77% inhibition) Herpes simplex virus (HSV1). showed antioxidant activities with IC 50 42 0.021 17 0.02 µg/mL DPPH NO, Melanin had cytotoxic action human breast cancer skin cell lines (Mcf7and A431) as well exerting low percentage death normal (Hfb4). effective wound management cells 63.04 1.83% compared control (68.67 1.10%). novelty study attributed possibility using rays safe method small economic doses stimulate fungi have been isolated. summary, has encourage its usage supportive medical route.

Application of gamma irradiation on morphological, biochemical, and molecular aspects of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) under different seed moisture contents

Scientific Reports, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 12(1)

Опубликована: Июнь 30, 2022

Nuclear technology is currently used as a tool in mutation breeding to improve crops by increasing genetic variation. The ionization of gamma rays produces large amounts free radicals, simulating stressors the natural environment. To avoid gamma-ray-induced oxidative stress, plants use antioxidant defense systems. Exposure irradiation can affect germination, growth, and production metabolites. Plants' sensitivity depends on environmental factors such moisture content. For this purpose, effects different doses [0, 100, 200, 300, 400 Gray (Gy)] seed contents (7, 13, 19%) traits seedling molecular biochemical alterations enzymes were examined current study. Based results, highest germination percentage was observed interaction effect at 13% with an dose Gy (98.89%). Seedling survival percent length decreased contents. Increasing reduced root stem fresh dry weight, length. level catalase enzyme activity expression 200 300 peroxidase polyphenol oxidase gene all compared control. It be concluded that 200-300 plant growth 30% terms weight plants, well enhanced enzymes. results study could help breeders select appropriate rate wheat for further research.

Elicitors and Biostimulants to Mitigate Water Stress in Vegetables

Horticulturae, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 10(8), С. 837 - 837

Опубликована: Авг. 7, 2024

The acceleration of the climate crisis and increased demand for water have caused stress in many agricultural lands worldwide. This issue is utmost importance as represents one most crucial challenges sector food security, affecting growth yield crops. Developing strategies to mitigate adverse effects improve crop tolerance therefore crucial. review aimed analyze effect practices such elicitation biostimulation on mitigating vegetables. manuscript provides relevant recent information about studied various vegetable species their responses under deficit non-agricultural stress, highlighting use elicitors biostimulants. Inclusion criteria were scientific reports book chapters published from 2000 2024, including keywords follows: + vegetables, effects, drought management, eustressors biostimulants mitigation. According reported literature, it was found that physiological, biochemical, molecular vegetables depended factors severity duration deficit, plant species, phenological state plants. Traditional agronomic tillage, mulching, intercropping management evaluated. Recently, alternative gained significant interest, exogenous application phytohormones osmoprotectants, nutrient UV-B light, radiation, acoustic waves, among others, whose eustressive (as elicitors) been demonstrated. Among these eustressors, those physical origin show great potential stress. To individual mitigation, we proposed combination hormones gamma rays, He-Ne laser, UV-B. Further exploration required establish doses, conditions, mitigation yield, underscoring ongoing nature this research.

The use of geopolymer in place ordinary Portland cement for concrete design and constructure is gaining attraction due to environmental health considerations. Geopolymers must have high gamma radiation shielding competence order them be useful concrete. In an attempt improve the absorption capacity a metakaolin-based matrix, 10 % (GEO-10Y), 20 (G-20Y) yttria (Y2O3) was mixed with GEO through solid-state reaction process. this study, influence adding on physical parameters investigated. densities GEO, GEO-10Y GEO-20Y were obtained as 2.28, 2.52 2.37 g/cm3, respectively. Through simulation using FLUKA code, mass attenuation coefficients (MAC) other relevant quantities estimated. MACs GEO-10Y, within range 0.0213–6.6429 cm2/g, 0.0282–13.3923 0.0291–14.5136 addition improved photon by increasing MAC reducing buildup factors 15 keV–15 MeV energy range. effectiveness yttria-doped compares well conventional materials. Yttria-doped can used produce effective environmentally-friendly
