Behavioral Effects and Potential Mechanisms of Imidacloprid-and Flupyradifurone-Induced Neurotoxicity in Caenorhabditis elegans

Abstract Neonicotinoid insecticides raise concerns about neurotoxicity in nontarget organisms, motivating evaluation of alternatives such as flupyradifurone (FPF). We compared the neurotoxicity of imidacloprid (IMI) and FPF in Caenorhabditis elegans after 72 h exposure to 0.1–100...

A Method Based on Nanobodies Against AMH to Establish Immunochromatography for Evaluation of Follicular Development in Bactrian Camels

(1) Background: Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) is a key indicator for predicting ovarian reserve and fertility. Currently, B-mode ultrasound examination is the primary method for evaluating follicular development in Bactrian camels, although it has several limitations. This study a...

Portulaca oleracea L. Polysaccharide Alleviates AFB1-Induced Liver Injury in New Zealand Rabbits via the Gut–Liver Axis

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a prevalent mycotoxin contaminating food and environmental matrices that can induce hepatic injury, thereby posing a substantial threat to livestock production. Portulaca oleracea L. polysaccharide (POP) possesses diverse biological activities, including an...

Integrated Transcriptomic and Phenotypic Analyses Reveal Tissue-Specific Nitrogen Responses and Candidate Genes for Low-Nitrogen Tolerance in Sorghum

Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is an important crop with remarkable tolerance to adverse environments, including nitrogen deficiency. To investigate the mechanisms underlying sorghum tolerance to low-nitrogen (LN) stress, we integrated phenotypic evaluation, transcriptome...

Effects of vineyard inter-row grass cover treatment on microbial diversity and metabolite profiles during Cabernet Sauvignon fermentation

Inter-row grass cover is an ecological management strategy that profoundly affects vineyard microecology, yet its effects on fermentation-associated microbial diversity and wine metabolites remain incompletely elucidated. This study compared the effects of inter-row clean tillage...

Ecological Restoration of Degraded Mining Soils Through Key‐Layer Construction Using Industrial By‐Products: A Comprehensive Analysis of Soil Physics, Microbiology, and Maize Yield

ABSTRACT Coal mining severely degrades soil profiles and ecosystem functions, highlighting the need for effective reclamation. Reconstructing soil profiles with industrial solid wastes offers a promising waste‐to‐resource approach, but the ecological effects of different engineer...
