Chlorogenic acid rescues zearalenone induced injury to mouse ovarian granulosa cells.

Zearalenone (ZEA), a toxic substance produced by Fusarium fungi, accumulated in cereals grain and animal feed, causes injury to humans and animals. ZEA can induce obvious reproductive toxicity with the ovarian granulosa cells (GCs) as the main target. However, the study on exploring the protective compounds against ZEA-induced mouse primary ovarian GCs damage remains less.

Biotic and Abiotic Stresses Activate Different Ca Permeable Channels in .

To survive, plants must respond rapidly and effectively to various stress factors, including biotic and abiotic stresses. Salinity stress triggers the increase of cytosolic free Ca concentration ([Ca]) via Ca influx across the plasma membrane, as well as bacterial flg22 and plant endogenous peptide Pep1. However, the interaction between abiotic stress-induced [Ca] increases and biotic stress-induced [Ca] increases is still not clear.
