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.

Article Synopsis
  • Innovative strategies are needed to combat fungal pathogens for sustainable crop protection, with traditional fungicides facing resistance issues due to their single-target action.
  • The study investigated the synergistic effects of chitosan (CS) and the fungicide azoxystrobin, finding a high synergy score that significantly improves antifungal efficacy.
  • Additionally, combining CS and azoxystrobin with RNA interference techniques enhanced fungal control, highlighting a promising eco-friendly approach and the need for further research on its molecular mechanisms.

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.

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.
