Monoamine oxidase A (MAO-A) is an enzyme involved in the metabolism of monoamine neurotransmitters such as dopamine, serotonin, and noradrenaline in the brain. Previous studies have demonstrated a significant association between MAO-A gene polymorphism and personality traits in males. The purpose of the present study was to examine this association in females. The subjects were 219 healthy Japanese females. We genotyped a variable number of tandem repeats located upstream of the MAO-A gene. Personality traits were assessed using the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI). There was no association between any personality trait and MAO-A genotype. The present results do not support the hypothesis that MAO-A gene polymorphism is related to certain personality traits in females.

Agricultural management significantly affects insects, especially pollinators, which are crucial for crop pollination and biodiversity. In agricultural landscapes, various factors spanning different spatial scales are known to affect pollinator health, which, in turn, can influence pollination services. However, the importance of these factors in driving the health and performance of different pollinator groups remains unclear.

Plant diversity is fundamental to maintaining grassland ecosystem function. Rangeland managers use fencing as a strategy to enhance plant diversity in degraded grasslands. However, the effects of this natural management approach on grasslands across a wide range of environmental gradients and its spatial pattern remain unclear.

Emerging contaminants in estuarine sediments, such as bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and titanium dioxide nanoparticles (nTiO), pose ecotoxicological risks that may be exacerbated by co-contamination. This study investigated the impacts of DEHP, nTiO, and their combinations at environmentally relevant concentrations (1, 10, and 100 μg/g) on the soil nematode Caenorhabditis elegans in estuarine-like sediment (14.25‰ salinity).

The phytotoxic nature of Ozone (O) has been well documented in a number of scientific literatures during the last few decades. Although there are sufficient studies related to O impact assessment studies on crop plants and tree species, studies pertaining to O effects on medicinal plants are comparatively sparse. During the recent years, the mitigation strategies for management of O stress in plants have also assumed paramount significance.
