This work aims to elucidate the potential of Spirulina platensis (SP) to hinder the accumulation of polyethylene nanoparticles (PE-NPS) in crayfish ( Procambarus clarkii ) and to reduce their detrimental impacts. Four groups (control (only food), PE-NP S (10 mg/L), PE-NPS (10 mg/L) + S. platensis, and only S. platensis in the last group) were studied. The group exposed to PE-NP S only showed: (1) an increase in oxidative stres...

The potato crop ranks as the fourth most important food crop after rice, wheat and maize. Approximately 50 viruses affect potato plants, with potato virus Y (PVY) being the most serious one. To date, an effective anti-PVY agent remains elusive. The current study investigates the potential of Trichoderma culture filtrates as antiviral agents against PVY. PVY and Trichoderma isolates were molecularly identified using the PCR tec...
