A new virus was isolated from a lettuce plant grown in an open field in the Netherlands in 2011. This plant was showing conspicuous symptoms that consisted of necrosis and moderate leaf curling. The virus was mechanically transferred to indicator plants, and a total RNA extract of one of these indicator plants was used for next-generation sequencing. Analysis of the sequences that were obtained and further biological studies showed that the virus was related to, but clearly distinct from, viruses belonging to the genus Torradovirus. The name "lettuce necrotic leaf curl virus" (LNLCV) is proposed for this new torradovirus.

Basic dyes are highly toxic and have adverse effects on humans such as accelerated heart rate, shock, cyanosis, and tissue necrosis upon ingestion or skin contact. Efficient removal of basic dye pollutants from wastewater is therefore essential for the protection of the environment and human health. Biomolecules exhibit excellent dye removal performance in terms of removal capacity, selectivity, and rate.

Article Synopsis
  • Moringa and Sildenafil oleifera (MO) may protect against gastric ulcers caused by medication in rats.
  • The study tested various groups of rats with one group receiving the ulcer-inducing drug indomethacin, and some receiving the protective effects of either Sildenafil, Moringa, or both beforehand.
  • Results showed that Sildenafil and Moringa effectively reduced ulcer severity and inflammation markers, indicating their potential as gastroprotective agents.
