Medicinal plants (MPs) account for 70–80% of use in primary care around the world, and this percentage indicates that the number of MP users is high; thus, it is necessary to focus studies on medicinal herbs to ensure their proper use. In addition, MPs have strong genotoxic effects, as some types of MPs can cause DNA damage. Any substance that raises the risk of cancer or a tumor in an organism is called a carcinogen. There are many genotoxic and carcinogenic substances in the environment that can directly or indirectly affect genetic material. There are also nanoparticles (NPs) derived from MPs. Carbon-based NPs contain many nanoscale materials, such as fullerenes and carbon nanotubes, as well as metals such as gold (Au), silver (Ag), and aluminum (Al). Unfortunately, few studies are concerned with the carcinogenicity of NPs from MPs, whereas many researchers are interested in genotoxic assessment. For this reason, there is an urgent need for more studies into the safety of MPs and NPs. Therefore, this study reviewed the genotoxicity and carcinogenicity of MPs and their derived NPs. We also emphasized the need for strict regulation and monitoring of MP usage.

Abstract

Crop plants are continuously exposed to abiotic and biotic constraints like salt, drought, heat, heavy metal, ultraviolet, fungi, bacteria, pathogens etc. Plants respond to them by altering their physiology and metabolism. The response is initiated at molecular, cellular and at whole plant level. Plants undergo alterations in growth, photosynthesis, yield and quality attributes when exposed to stresses. Nevertheless, these complex processes are modulated by the application of different kinds of nanoparticles (NPs). In the current times, nanotechnology, as a broad interdisciplinary area of research, finds potential in agriculture regarding plant disease management, pathogen detection and imparting stress tolerance. Nanoparticles at particular concentrations control growth, morpho-physiology and yield attributes under stress conditions. In the present chapter, we attempt to discuss various response alterations initiated by crop plants towards abiotic and biotic stresses, vis-à-vis controlling nature of various NPs doses in protecting these processes under these stress conditions.

Qi, X., Yaohui Wang, G. Zhang, S. Cao, P. Xu, Xueming Ren, A. Mansour, and C. Niu, "Transcriptome analysis uncovers different avenues for manipulating cold performance in Chrysomya megacephala (Diptera, Calliphoridae).", Bulletin of entomological research, pp. 1-12, 2022. Abstract

Temperature strongly impacts the rates of physiological and biochemical processes, which in turn can determine the survival and population size of insects. At low temperatures performance is limited, however, cold tolerance and performance at low temperature can be improved after short- or long-term acclimation in many insect species. To understand mechanisms underlying acclimation, we sequenced and compared the transcriptome of the blowfly Chrysomya megacephala under rapid cold hardening (RCH) and long-term cold acclimation (LCA) conditions. The RCH response was dominated by genes related to immune response, spliceosome, and protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum with up-regulation during recovery from RCH. In contrast, LCA was associated with genes related to carbohydrate metabolism and cytoskeleton branching and stabilizing. Meanwhile, mRNA levels of genes related to glycerophospholipid metabolism, and some heat shock proteins (Hsps) were collectively up-regulated by both RCH and LCA. There were more genes and pathway adjustments associated with LCA than RCH. Overall, the transcriptome data provide basic information of molecular mechanisms underpinning the RCH and LCA response. The partly independent molecular responses to RCH and LCA suggest that several avenues for manipulating cold performance exist and RCH might be more effective as it only triggers fewer genes and affects the general metabolisms less. These observations provide some appropriate methods to improve cold tolerance of C. megacephala, and hold promise for developing an extended use of mass-reared C. megacephala with better cold performance as a pollinator of crops at low temperatures.

Niu, "Fermented crop straws by Trichoderma viride and Saccharomyces cerevisiae enhanced the bioconversion rate of Musca domestica (Diptera: Muscidae).", Environmental science and pollution research international, vol. 26, issue 2019, pp. 29388–29396, 2019. AbstractWebsite

Crop straw is an abundant renewable resource whose usage is limited due to its high cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin contents. Here, Trichoderma viride, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, and Musca domestica were used to transform crop straws, and we investigated their impact on housefly rearing performance and optimized their utilization. The weights of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin in fermented crop straw diets significantly decreased after bioconversion by M. domestica larvae. The highest bioconversion rate was recorded in corn straw diet (16.19%), followed by wheat straw diet (10.31%) and wheat bran diet (8.97%). Similarly, high larval weight (yield) and pupation rate and fecundity and fertility rate were recorded in fermented crop straw diets composed of corn straw and wheat bran in 1:1 proportions. These results indicated that fermenting crop straw with T. viride and S. cerevisiae represented an efficient strategy that enhanced crop straw bioconversion and improved the rearing capacity of the housefly larvae. The resulting larvae could further be used as proteinaceous feed in poultry and aquaculture industries. Graphical abstract.

Qian, Y. L., R. F. Follett, S. Wilhelm, A. J. Koski, and M. A. Shahba, "Carbon Isotope Discrimination of Three Kentucky Bluegrass Cultivars with Contrasting Salinity Tolerance", Agronomy JournalAgronomy Journal, vol. 96, issue 2: John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, pp. 571 - 575, 2004. AbstractWebsite

We evaluated leaf C isotope discrimination as affected by salinity among three Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) cultivars that differ in their salt tolerance. ?Moonlight?, ?NorthStar?, and ?P-105? Kentucky bluegrass (KBG) were grown in solution culture and exposed to salinity levels of 2.0, 5.0, 8.0, 11.0, and 14.0 dS m?1 for 12 wk. All cultivars exhibited increased leaf firing with increasing salinity. However, Moonlight and NorthStar exhibited less leaf firing than P105 at all salinity levels. The salinity levels that caused 25% shoot growth reduction were 4.9 dS m?1 for NorthStar and Moonlight and 4.1 dS m?1 for P105, indicating that Moonlight and NorthStar have better salinity tolerance than P105. When salinity level was in the range of 2.0 to 8.0 dS m?1, Moonlight produced 1.9-fold more root mass than NorthStar, and NorthStar exhibited 3.9-fold more root mass than P105. When salinity exceeded 8.0 dS m?1, NorthStar had similar root mass as Moonlight, and both showed greater root mass than P105. Cultivar P105 had a higher C isotope discrimination (?) than Moonlight and NorthStar under nonsaline conditions (<2 dS m?1) but a lower ? than Moonlight and NorthStar at 11.0 dS m?1 salinity. The great reduction in ? of P105 as salinity increased suggests that salinity induced a greater degree of stomatal resistance that provided less opportunity for discrimination against the heavier isotope. Carbon isotope discrimination may serve as a useful selection criterion in breeding efforts to develop salt tolerant KBG.

Qian, D., A. E. - M. M. El-Sharkawy, E. Atalar, and P. A. Bottomley, "Interventional MRI: tapering improves the distal sensitivity of the loopless antenna.", Magnetic resonance in medicine, vol. 63, issue 3, pp. 797-802, 2010 Mar. Abstract

The "loopless antenna" is an interventional MRI detector consisting of a tuned coaxial cable and an extended inner conductor or "whip". A limitation is the poor sensitivity afforded at, and immediately proximal to, its distal end, which is exacerbated by the extended whip length when the whip is uniformly insulated. It is shown here that tapered insulation dramatically improves the distal sensitivity of the loopless antenna by pushing the current sensitivity toward the tip. The absolute signal-to-noise ratio is numerically computed by the electromagnetic method-of-moments for three resonant 3-T antennae with no insulation, uniform insulation, and with linearly tapered insulation. The analysis shows that tapered insulation provides an approximately 400% increase in signal-to-noise ratio in trans-axial planes 1 cm from the tip and a 16-fold increase in the sensitive area as compared to an equivalent, uniformly insulated antenna. These findings are directly confirmed by phantom experiments and by MRI of an aorta specimen. The results demonstrate that numerical electromagnetic signal-to-noise ratio analysis can accurately predict the loopless detector's signal-to-noise ratio and play a central role in optimizing its design. The manifold improvement in distal signal-to-noise ratio afforded by redistributing the insulation should improve the loopless antenna's utility for interventional MRI.
