Manganese (Mn) toxicity poses a severe hazard to plant growth, with organic acids playing a crucial role in detoxifying toxic metals. However, the regulatory mechanisms governing the response of organic acids to Mn toxicity remain largely elusive, particularly in perennial fruit crops. Herein, we investigated the physio-biochemical and transcriptomic responses of peach seedlings to Mn toxicity.

Introduction/objectives: Escherichia coli strains are known to cause various gastrointestinal disorders, with Shiga toxin 2, a potent cytotoxin, being a key virulence factor contributing to disease severity. Targeting Shiga toxin 2 presents a promising approach for therapeutic intervention in controlling E. coli O157 infections.

Article Synopsis
  • * A study focused on Ginkgo biloba showed that PSNPs harm seedling growth and cause oxidative stress but also trigger an increase in flavonoids, which help plants detoxify and cope with the stress.
  • * Tests on other plants, like Arabidopsis, poplar, and tomato confirmed that the accumulation of flavonoids is a common response across species, highlighting their crucial role in enhancing plant resilience against nanoplastic contamination.
