Diazinon impairs bioenergetics and induces membrane permeability transition on mitochondria isolated from rat liver
(Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health - Part A: Current Issues, 2020) [Artigo]Diazinon (DZN) is a broad-spectrum insecticide extensively used to control pests in crops and animals. Several investigators demonstrated that DZN produced tissue toxicity especially to the liver. In addition, the mitochondrion ... -
Response of soybean to soil waterlogging associated with iron excess in the reproductive stage
(Physiology and Molecular Biology of Plants, 2020) [Artigo]Soil waterlogging is a common problem in some agricultural areas, including regions under soybean (Glycine max) cultivation. In waterlogged soils, soil O2 depletion occurs due to aerobic microorganisms and plants, affecting ... -
Feedlot performance and rumen morphometrics of Nellore cattle adapted to high-concentrate diets over periods of 6, 9, 14 and 21 days
(Animal, 2020) [Artigo]The energy content of finishing diets offered to feedlot cattle may vary across countries. We assumed that the lower is the energy content of the finishing diet, the shorter can be the adaptation period to high-concentrate ... -
Azospirillum brasilense can impressively improve growth and development of urochloa brizantha under irrigation
(Agriculture (Switzerland), 2020) [Artigo]Development of strategies to ensure grazing systems are sustainably produced in harsh environments, while not fertilizing them conventionally, is challenging. Figuring out the extent to which dose of inoculation and period ... -
Determination of soil volume by planialtimetric survey methods
(Engenharia Agricola, 2020) [Artigo]Considering the importance of topographic surveys to determine soil volumes and study efficient and accessible alternatives for this operation, this study aimed to analyze methods and respective equipment for planialtimetric ... -
Behaviour of soybean seedlings in situations involving cotyledon removal
(Bulgarian Journal of Agricultural Science, 2020) [Artigo]Cotyledons have photosynthetic and reserve functions. In initial development, cotyledon herbivory makes the majority of species more susceptible to the environment. This study aimed to reproduce herbivory situations occurring ... -
Importance of temperament in the pregnancy by timed insemination in bovine females Bos taurus indicus
(Livestock Science, 2020) [Artigo]The aim of this research was to evaluate the effects of the temperament of bovine females Bos taurus indicus submitted to a timed artificial insemination (TAI) protocol on the concentrations of cortisol, diameter of the ... -
Mitochondrial Respiratory Inhibition Promoted by Pyraclostrobin in Fungi is Also Observed in Honey Bees
(Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2020) [Artigo]There is no use restriction associated with bees for many fungicides used in agriculture; however, this does not always mean that these pesticides are harmless for these nontarget organisms. We investigated whether the ... -
Effect of cattle breed and basal diet on digestibility, rumen bacterial communities, and eating and rumination activity
(Journal of Animal Science, 2020) [Artigo]The objectives of this study were to compare ruminal total tract digestibility, bacterial communities, and eating and rumination activity between Holstein and Angus steers fed grain- or forage-based diets. Six Holstein ... -
Optimization of cultivation techniques improves the agronomic behavior of Agaricus subrufescens
(Scientific Reports, 2020) [Artigo]New species of medicinal mushrooms have emerged over the past several decades, such as the Sun mushroom, Agaricus subrufescens. Horticultural improvements are required to shift its cultivation from small-scale local ... -
Glyphosate plus carboxylic compounds boost activity of free radical-scavenging enzymes in sugarcane
(Agriculture (Switzerland), 2020) [Artigo]Drought, heat, and salinity, as well as pests, are stressing agents, which have impressively declined the productivity and quality of sugarcane crop in harsh environments. Our study aimed to examine the effect of various ... -
Chemical composition and biological properties of Pleurotus spp. cultivated on peat moss and wheat straw
(Emirates Journal of Food and Agriculture, 2019) [Artigo]The productivity parameters of 2 Pleurotus spp. cultivated with two mixtures of wheat straw (WS) and peat moss (MG) were evaluated, the chemical composition of the mushrooms and also the antioxidant, antibacterial activities ... -
