1. Molecular characterization of Bacillus thuringiensis strains to control Spodoptera eridania (Cramer) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) population
Abstract The main objective of this study was to characterize the toxicity and genetic divergence of 18 Bacillus thuringiensis strains in the biological control of Spodoptera eridania. Bacterial suspensions were added to the S. eridania diet. Half of the selected B. thuringiensis strains caused high mortality seven days after infection. The genetic divergenc

2. Methodology for minimum nitrogen compounds removal efficiencies estimation and wastewater treatment systems pre-selection: a watershed approach
RESUMO O nitrogênio constitui importante parâmetro para o controle da poluição hídrica, uma vez que a nitrificação produz consumo de oxigênio do ambiente aquático, além da toxicidade associada à algumas formas de nitrogênio. Este estudo estabeleceu e empregou modelo de otimização visando a determinação simultânea de eficiências mínimas de

3. Genotoxicity of titanium dioxide nanoparticles and triggering of defense mechanisms in Allium cepa
Abstract Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2NPs) are widely used and may impact the environment. Thus, this study used a high concentration of TiO2NP (1000 mg/L) to verify the defense mechanisms triggered by a plant system – an indicator of toxicity. Furthermore, this study aimed at completely characterizing TiO2NP suspensions to elucidate their toxic beh

4. Potato genotypes reaction to early blight and late blight in organic cultivation
RESUMO: O manejo de doenças nos cultivos convencionais de batata requer emprego de maior quantidade de produtos fitossanitários e de maior toxicidade em relação ao cultivo orgânico, que pode acarretar riscos a saúde humana e impacto ambiental. Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o rendimento e a reação de genótipos de batata à requeima e à p

5. Genetic control of aluminum tolerance in tropical maize germplasm
ABSTRACT Aluminum (Al) toxicity is the most limiting factor to maize crop productivity in acid soils. Therefore, the understanding of inheritance of Al tolerance in maize is important for the developmentof more adequate procedures for Al tolerant genotypes selection. In this sense, the objectives of this study were to determine the inheritance, and the gener

6. Preparation and characterization of non-viral gene delivery systems with pEGFP-C1 Plasmid DNA
ABSTRACT In recent years, non-viral delivery systems for plasmid DNA have become particularly important. They can overcome the disadvantages of viral systems such as insertional mutagenesis and unpredicted immunogenicity. Some additional advantages of non-viral gene delivery systems are; good stability, low cost, targetability, delivery of a high amount of g

7. Cytotoxic, genotoxic and mutagenic potential of UHT whole milk
Abstract This study evaluated the action at the cellular level of long life whole milk, full type of six renowned companies operating in the Brazilian market, as well as in other South American countries. The evaluation was performed using root meristem cells of Allium cepa L., at exposure times 24 and 48 hours, directly in milk products marketed. The result

8. New PPARα/γ/δ Optimal Activator Rationally Designed by Computational Methods
The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) is a nuclear receptor that acts as a transcription factor, regulating glucose, lipid and inflammation signaling and it is exploited in type 2 diabetes treatment. However, the selective activation of this PPAR subtype has been linked to important adverse effects which can be mitigated through conco

9. Accuracy of mucocutaneous leishmaniasis diagnosis using polymerase chain reaction: systematic literature review and meta-analysis
The diagnosis of mucocutaneous leishmaniasis (MCL) is hampered by the absence of a gold standard. An accurate diagnosis is essential because of the high toxicity of the medications for the disease. This study aimed to assess the ability of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to identify MCL and to compare these results with clinical research recently published b

10. EFEITO TOXICOGENÉTICO DO POLIMORFISMO ALA16VAL DO GENE MnSOD EM LEUCÓCITOS EXPOSTOS IN VITRO AO METIL MERCÚRIO / TOXIGENETIC EFFECT OF ALA16VAL MnSOD GENE POLYMORPHISM ON LEUCOCYTES IN VITRO EXPOSED TO METHYL MERCURY
The environmental contamination by methyl mercury (MeHg) is a great health public problem in some world regions like Amazonia. The MeHg toxic effects seem to be influenced by environmental and genetic factors. However, there are few studies evaluating the genetic influence on MeHg toxicity in humans. Therefore, the aim of this present study was to evaluate t

11. Identification of Albizia lebbeck seed coat chitin-binding vicilins (7S globulins) with high toxicity to the larvae of the bruchid Callosobruchus maculatus
Seed coat is a specialized maternal tissue that interfaces the embryo and the external environment during embryogenesis, dormancy and germination. In addition, it is the first defensive barrier against penetration by pathogens and herbivores. Here we show that Albizia lebbeck seed coat dramatically compromises the oviposition, eclosion and development of the

Exposure to pesticides represents a potential risk to human health. In addition to poisoning, these compounds may interact with DNA, causing degenerative diseases, including cancer. The risk assessment for pesticides was conducted in the municipalities of Picos, Piripiri, Barras and Josà de Freitas with farm workers (exposed group) and 55 administrative off
