  1. Effects of plant density and the number of emitters on plant growth and nitrate concentration in spinach cultivated in substrate. The effects of plant density and the number of emitters per Styrofoam box on plant growth and nitrate (NO3-) concentration were evaluated in spinach (Spinacia oleracea L. cv. Tapir). Spinach seedlings were transplanted at 45 days after emergence into Styrofoam boxes filled with the substrate and were grown during winter in an unheated greenhouse with no supplemental lighting. The experiment was ca. 2016. Machado, Rui; Ferreira, Rui; Isabel- Alves, Pereira. http://hdl.handle.net/10174/19271.
  2. Salinity and Atrazine Sublethal Levels Induce Gill Cells Basolateral Membrane Phospholipids Modulation in Sea Lamprey Downstream Migrants. Conditions experienced by anadromous fishes while in freshwater may be critical to their subsequent survival in the sea. During the trophic migration to the ocean, juveniles of sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus L.) are exposed to several stress factors, including different types of pollutants. We analyzed gill histopathological biomarkers, characterized the lipid profile of the basolateral membrane. 2015.

  3. SUB-LETHAL EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE TO ATRAZINE IN GILL CELLS OF SEA LAMPREY DOWNSTREAM MIGRANTS. In Portugal, atrazine (ATZ) was one of the most widely used herbicides in agriculture, and despite prohibited since 2007, it still continued to be detected in the surface and ground waters. Recent research demonstrated that the conditions experienced by anadromous fishes, while in freshwater, may be critical to their subsequent fitness and survival in the sea. Several studies established a decline. 2015. Lança, Maria João; Machado, Maria; Filipa, Ferreira; Candeias, Marta; Ferreira, Rui; Alves-Pereira, Isabel; Carrola, João S.; Quintella, Bernardo; R.

Nanotechnology can be used to obtain materials at nanoscale (<100 nm) with new physicochemical and structural properties which depend on particle size and, probably, may trigger new biological effects. As Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an excellent model for study molecular and cell biology responses is growingly used in the toxicological evaluation of chemicals, such as heavy metals or nanoparticles. 2013.

  6. Feeding strategy assessment through fatty acid profiles in muscle of adults sea lamprey from the Western Iberian Coast. Fatty acid signature of sea lamprey Petromyzon marinus (L.) muscle were used as a tool to detect feeding strategies used during the species parasitic marine trophic phase. Adult sea lampreys were collected near the river mouth of six Portuguese river basins (i.e. Minho, Lima, Douro, Vouga, Mondego and Tagus) and muscle fatty acid profile characterized.

  7. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles inhibits Saccharomyces cerevisiae BY4741 proliferation, modifying the profile of antioxidant response. physicochemical properties are poorly known. In the case of metal nanoparticles, their dimension is often important, since their surface area increases as molecular size decreases, causing alterations in their magnetic and thermodynamic properties. Consequently, the influence they exert on life is an attractive topic of research in biochemical toxicology by the novelty of their behavior. Although. 2013.
