Atlantic salmon smolts were exposed to three doses of the fungicide azoxystrobin for 4 days, and physiological blood parameters and transcriptional effects in liver and muscle were evaluated in search for potential negative effects. Azoxystrobin exposure mediated up-regulation of catalase, MAPK1 and IGFBP1 in liver tissue. Catalase, transferrin, IGFBP1 and TNFR were up-regulated and CYP1A down-regulated in muscle tissue. Blood parameters glucose, hematocrit, pCO(2), HCO(3) and pH grouped together with transcripts levels of MnSOD, MAPK1, IGFBP1, MAP3K7 and GPx4 in liver of fish exposed to the highest azoxystrobin concentration (352 μgL(-1)) using principal component analysis (PCA). In muscle, the blood parameters glucose, hematocrit, pCO(2), HCO(3) and pH grouped together with transcript levels of heme oxygenase, thioredoxin, MnSOD, TNFR and MMP9. These results suggest that the fungicide azoxystrobin affects mitochondrial respiration and mechanisms controlling cell growth and proliferation in fish and may have negative effects on juvenile Atlantic salmon.

L. (cotton-lavender) is receiving increasing attention due to its potential for modern medicine and is considered both a functional food and nutraceutical. In this work, the phytochemical profile of its flower hydromethanolic extract was investigated by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, and its applications as a biorational for crop protection were explored against spp.

The honey bee () is the most widely managed pollinator and is vital for crop fertilization. Recently, bee colonies have been suffering high mortality rates, exacerbated by factors such as land-use changes and the use of pesticides. Our work aimed to explore the residues of pesticides in honey-bee-collected pollen and how this contamination was affected by seasonality and the landscape composition.

Tan spot caused by is a severe threat to wheat production in all major wheat-growing regions. Sustainable tan spot control can be achieved by an integrated approach, including responsible management of fungicide sprays. The data about the sensitivity of to various fungicides in the Baltic Sea region are rare.

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a widely distributed mycotoxin and potent carcinogen produced by several fungal genera, but mainly by . Grape contamination occurs in vineyards during the period between veraison and pre-harvest, and it is the main cause of OTA's presence in wine. The aim of the current study was the evaluation of 6 chemical and 11 biological plant protection products (PPPs) and biocontrol agents in commercial vineyards of the two important Greek white wine varieties cv.
