The tale of two Ions Na and Cl: unraveling onion plant responses to varying salt treatments.

BMC Plant Biol

October 2024

University of Hohenheim, Institute of Crop Science, Quality of Plant Products 340e, Schloss Westflügel, Stuttgart, 70599, Germany.

Background: Exploring the adaptive responses of onions (Allium cepa L.) to salinity reveals a critical challenge for this salt-sensitive crop. While previous studies have concentrated on the effects of sodium (Na), this research highlights the substantial yet less-explored impact of chloride (Cl) accumulation.

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) is a long-chain legacy congener of the per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) family, notorious as a "forever chemical" owing to its environmental persistence and toxic nature. Essential elements such as zinc (Zn) can cause toxic effects when they change their metal speciation and become bioavailable, such as zinc sulfate (ZnSO). Combined toxicity assessment is a realistic approach and a challenging task to evaluate chemical interactions and associated risks.

Purpose: We introduce a novel algorithmic approach to design phase I trials for oncology drug combinations.

Methods: Our proposed Toxicity Adaptive Lists Design (TALE) is straightforward to implement, requiring the prespecification of a small number of parameters that define rules governing dose escalation, de-escalation, or reassessment of previously explored dose levels. These rules effectively regulate dose exploration and control the number of toxicities.
