BackgroundTissue culture is an effective method for the rapid breeding of seedlings and improving production efficiency, but explant browning is a key limiting factor of walnut tissue culture. Specifically, the polymerization of PPO-derived quinones that cause explant browning of walnut is not well understood. This study investigated explants of ‘Z...

The process of feeding is complex and highly dependent on parent, child, social, and environmental factors. Given the rising rates of food insecurity and concomitant poor nutrition and health, the purpose of this article was to outline the important and complex ways in which the context of food insecurity can impact parent feeding practices. Key fa...

Efficient fermentable sugar release from softwood biomass is considerably hampered by the recalcitrant nature of its plant cell wall. Here, we reported an ultrasonic and microwave assisted ethylene glycol pretreatment coupled with fast pyrolysis to make total utilization of softwood (pine sawdust) for pyrolytic sugar (levoglucosan), hemicellulosic ...

Aroma compounds are diverse low molecular weight organic molecules responsible for the flavour of food, medicines or cosmetics. Natural and artificial aroma compounds are manufactured and used by the industry to enhance the flavour and fragrance of products. While the low concentrations of aroma compounds present in food may leave no effect on the ...

Herein, eight common endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) were exposed to zebrafish (Danio rerio) to investigate the relationship between different EDCs and their activated estrogen receptors. Under acute exposure, we identified five major malformation types whose incidence and deformity modes differed among EDCs. Luciferase analysis divided the E...

Contamination of agricultural land with heavy metal is a serious biological and environmental issue. Such threat can be challenged by exploring the plant symbiotic microbes that can improve plant growth through phyto-hormones secretion and chromate chelation. In the current study, chromate resistant rhizospheric Staphylococcus arlettae strain MT4 w...

A Chlorella sp.-Cupriavidus necator (C. necator) microcosm was artificially established for phenol degradation. The cooperation relationship between Chlorella sp. and C. necator was initially demonstrated, and then the effects of Chlorella sp./C. necator inoculation ratio, light intensity, temperature and pH on the performance of this microcosm wer...
