Article Synopsis
  • Cadmium (Cd) is harmful to plants and people, and it makes it hard for rice to grow properly.
  • A protein called OsbZIP39 helps rice manage Cd by controlling how much the plant takes in, and when exposed to Cd, it moves to the cell's nucleus to start a protective response.
  • Some rice types react differently to Cd due to variations in the OsbZIP39 gene, but overall, this protein helps rice take in less Cd, which is important for growing healthier rice.

Taraxacum mongolicum polysaccharide (TMP) exhibits anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity, making it an attractive candidate for aquatic-product-safety applications. Here, this study was aimed to investigate the effects of dietary TMP on the growth, nutritional composition, antioxidant capacity, bioaccumulation and inflammation in Channa asiatica under hexavalent chromium stress. The C.

Chromium (Cr) is the most common heavy metal and that becomes toxic when present at higher concentrations in aquatic environments. Allium mongolicum Regel flavonoids (AMRF) has been documented to possess detoxification, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The aim of this study was to explore the potential of dietary AMRF and Cr exposure on bioaccumulation, oxidative stress, and immune response in Ctenopharyngodon idella.
