Myrrh has unique medicinal properties: it is an anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antibacterial material. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of ethanolic myrrh extract on the production and properties of modified PP and PLA melt spun yarns. In this work, multifilament yarns of polylactide (PLA) and polypropylene (PP) containing 10 wt% myrrh resin at different melt-spinning drawing ratios (DRs) were prepared.

Residues of veterinary antibiotics are a worldwide problem of increasing concern due to their persistence and diverse negative effects on organisms, including crops, and limited understanding of their phytotoxicity. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the phytotoxic effects of veterinary antibiotics tetracycline (TC) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) applied in a wide range of concentrations on model plant oilseed rape (Brassica napus). Overall phytotoxicity of 1-500 mg kg of TC and CIP was investigated based on morphological, biochemical, and physiological plant response.

This study aimed to assess Cd phytoextraction efficiency in well-watered and drought-stressed B. napus plants under current climate (CC, 21/14 °C, 400 ppm CO) and future climate (FC, 25/18 °C, 800 ppm CO) conditions. The underlying physiological mechanisms underpinning the obtained results were investigated by studying Cd (1, 10, 50, and 100 mg kg) effect on B.
