Due to the limited number of studies, it has been reported that phytoestrogens in plants like eurycomanone affect the expressions of reproductive-associated genes in fish. A significant increase in the expression of CYP17A1, STAR, CYP19A1, SOX9A, and DMRT1 in the testis and an up-...
we investigated PFAS concentrations in eggs and blood plasma of great tit (Parus major) and blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus) nestlings near a PFAS hotspot in Belgium, reproductive impairment, and associations between the accumulated levels and nestling body condition. In total, 29 eggs and 22 blood...
2.2. Biochemical Changes in Contrasting Rice Cultivars on Drought Stress Estimation of the effects of reproductive-stage drought on rice plants was assessed based on its impact on biochemical parameters in panicles compared to that in leaf and root. Though antioxidant activity in different tissues of...
Reproduction in G. imbricata occurs by both sexual and asexual processes. Fertilization involves the fusion of a non-flagellated male gamete, the spermatium, with a sessile egg-containing cell, the carpogonium on the female gametangial thalli. After fertilization, the zygote is retained on the ...
Farm fertilizers, sewage plants, animal pens, and coal plants produce excess nitrogen that ends up in the oceans, where it stimulates algal growth, depletion of oxygen, and large dead zones. Significant reductions in pollution from agriculture and manufacturing require better technology and better ...
