Perinatal exposure to an aromatase inhibitor glyphosate-base herbicide reduced male and female social behavior in juvenile age and the sexual behavior at adult female rats

Objectives: The herbicide glyphosate, a pesticide used in agriculture to control weeds, both in food crops and in other agricultural areas, has been identified as an endocrine modulator through the inhibition of aromatase activity and the activation of estrogen rece...

Leaching of saflufenacil in soils with different organic matter contents

Biosci. j. (Online); 38 (), 2022
Saflufenacil is a herbicide recommended for use in the main agricultural crops in Brazil to control eudicotyledonous weeds. However, the application of saflufenacil has been carried out without previous knowledge of this herbicide interactions with soil colloids, which may increase environmental contamin...

Cloning and Characterization of 5-enopy ruvylshikimate-3-phosphate Synthase from Fragaria vesca

Abstract To discover and isolate a glyphosate-resistant gene from Fragaria vesca through gene mining. An open reading frame (ORF) of 1563 bp encoding EPSPSwas amplified from Fragaria vesca (FvEPSPS). FvEPSPS (Genebank: XP004306932.1) encodes a polypeptide of 520 amino acids and it has hightly homologous ...

Quality of adzuki bean seeds desiccated with flumioxazin and subjected to storage

Arq. Inst. Biol; 87 (), 2020
Production and storage environments influence the physiological and sanitary quality of seeds. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the herbicide flumioxazin applied as a preharvest desiccant and storage on the physiological and sanitary quality of adzuki bean seeds. A randomized block design was ...

Pouteria torta: a native species of the Brazilian Cerrado as a bioindicator of glyphosate action

Braz. j. biol; 78 (2), 2018
Abstract In Brazil, the expansion of agricultural activity and the associated indiscriminate use of herbicides such as glyphosate is directly related to the loss of biodiversity in the Cerrado. The identification of plant species as bioindicators of herbicide action, especially species native to the area...

Impactos do plantio direto na conservaçäo do solo e na utilizaçäo de fertilizantes e produtos fitossanitários
Impacts of direct planting in soil conservation and in use of fertilizers and phytosanitary products

Rev. bras. toxicol; 13 (1), 2000
O plantio direto é um sistema de semeadura em solo não revolvido e com a superfície protegida por resíduos vegetais das culturas anteriores, usando-se implementos apropriados e rotação diversificada de culturas, incluindo o uso de plantas para a cobertura do solo. Contribui para minimizar a erosão...
