Abstract
The effect of monomeric glutaraldehyde fixation and amino acid detoxification on biocompatibility and tissue-guided regenerative potential of decellularized bovine pericardium was evaluated. The degree of cross-linking, porosity, enzymatic degradation, alpha-galactosyl content, the efficacy of detoxification, and cytotoxicity towards human epithelial cells were assessed. Tissue was subcutaneously implanted for eight weeks in male juvenile Sprague-Dawley rats, and mechanical properties, host cell infiltration, and calcification were evaluated. Three groups were compared i) decellularized tissue, ii) decellularized, monomeric glutaraldehyde fixed and amino acid detoxified tissue, and iii) commercial glutaraldehyde fixed non-decellularized tissue (Glycar®) (n = 6 rats per group). The fixation process gave a high degree of cross-linking (>85%), and was resistant to enzymatic degradation, with no significant effect on porosity. The detoxification process was effective, and the tissue was not toxic to mammalian cells in vitro. Tissue from both decellularized groups had significantly higher (p < 0.05) porosity and host cell infiltration in vivo. The process mitigated calcification. A non-significant decrease in the alpha-galactosyl content was observed, which increased when including the alpha-galactosidase enzyme. Mechanical properties were maintained. The fixation and detoxification process adequately removes free aldehyde groups and reduces toxicity, preventing enzymatic degradation and allowing for host cell infiltration while mitigating calcification and retaining the mechanical properties of the tissue. This process can be considered for processing decellularized bovine pericardium with tissue-guided regeneration potential for use in cardiovascular bioprostheses; however, methods of further reducing antigenicity, such as the use of enzymes, should be investigated.

Abstract
Pesticide pollution is one of the most important factors for global bee declines. Despite many studies have revealed that the most important Chinese indigenous species,Apis cerana, is presenting a high risk on exposure to neonicotinoids, the toxicology information on Apis cerana remain limited. This study was aimed to determine the acute and chronic toxic effects of thiacloprid (IUPAC name: {(2Z)-3-[(6-Chloro-3-pyridinyl)methyl]-1,3-thiazolidin-2-ylidene}cyanamide) on behavioral and physiological performance as well as genome-wide transcriptome in A. cerana. We found the 1/5 LC50 of thiacloprid significantly impaired learning and memory abilities after both acute and chronic exposure, nevertheless, has no effects on the sucrose responsiveness and phototaxis climbing ability of A. cerana. Moreover, activities of detoxification enzyme P450 monooxygenases and CarE were increased by short-term exposure to thiacloprid, while prolonged exposure caused suppression of CarE activity. Neither acute nor chronic exposure to thiacloprid altered honey bee AChE activities. To further study the potential defense molecular mechanisms in Asian honey bee under pesticide stress, we analyzed the transcriptomes of honeybees in response to thiacloprid stress. The transcriptomic profiles revealed consistent upregulation of immune- and stress-related genes by both acute or chronic treatments. Our results suggest that the chronic exposure to thiacloprid produced greater toxic effects than a single administration to A. cerana. Altogether, our study deepens the understanding of the toxicological characteristic of A. cerana against thiacloprid, and could be used to further investigate the complex molecular mechanisms in Asian honey bee under pesticide stress.

Abstract
Hexavalent chromium (Cr(VI)) is a known carcinogen in living organisms, and many studies have investigated Cr(VI) removal methods. Biosorption, one of the Cr(VI) removal methods, is dominated by chemical binding, ion exchange, physisorption, chelation and oxidation-reduction. Among these mechanisms, Cr(VI) can be removed by nonliving biomass through a redox reaction, which has been recognized as 'adsorption-coupled reduction'. Cr(VI) is reduced to Cr(III) during biosorption, but there are no studies on the property and toxicity of the reduced-Cr(III). In this study, the harmfulness of reduced-Cr(III) was identified through assessment of mobility and toxicity in nature. Pine bark, a low-cost biomass, was used to remove Cr(VI) from aqueous solution. Reduced-Cr(III) was characterized by structural features using X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure (XANES) spectra, mobility assessed using precipitation, adsorption and soil column test, and toxicity using radish sprouts and water flea. XANES analysis confirmed that reduced-Cr(III) has an unsymmetrical structure, and the reduced-Cr(III) showed low mobility and was virtually non-toxic, and helpful for plant growth. Our findings demonstrate that Cr(VI) biosorption technology using pine bark is a groundbreaking technology for Cr(VI) detoxification.

Abstract
Accumulating studies have raised concerns about gut dysbiosis associating autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and its related symptoms. However, the effect of gut microbiota modification on the Chinese ASD population and its underlying mechanism were still elusive. Herein, we enrolled 24 ASD children to perform the first course of fresh washed microbiota transplantation (WMT), 18 patients decided to participate the second course, 13 of which stayed to participate the third course, and there were 8 patients at the fourth course. Then we evaluated the effects of fresh WMT on these patients and their related symptoms. Our results found that the sleeping disorder symptom was positively interrelated to ASD, fresh WMT significantly alleviated ASD and its sleeping disorder and constipation symptoms. In addition, WMT stably and continuously downregulated Bacteroides/Flavonifractor/Parasutterella while upregulated Prevotella_9 to decrease toxic metabolic production and improve detoxification by regulating glycolysis/myo-inositol/D-glucuronide/D-glucarate degradation, L-1,2-propanediol degradation, fatty acid β-oxidation. Thus, our results suggested that fresh WMT moderated gut microbiome to improve the behavioral and sleeping disorder symptoms of ASD via decrease toxic metabolic production and improve detoxification. Which thus provides a promising gut ecological strategy for ASD children and its related symptoms treatments.

Abstract
The release of contaminants of environmental concern including heavy metals and metalloids, and contaminants of emerging concern including organic micropollutants from processing industries, pharmaceuticals, personal care, and anthropogenic sources, is a growing threat worldwide. Mitigating inorganic and organic contaminants, which can be coined as contaminants of environmental and emerging concern (CEECs), is a big challenge as traditional physicochemical processes are not economically viable for managing mixed contaminants of low concentrations. As a result, low-cost materials must be designed to provide high CEEC removal efficiency. One of the environmentally viable and energy-efficient approaches is biosorption, which involves using biomass or biopolymers isolated from plants or animals to decontaminate heavy metals in contaminated environments using inherent biological mechanisms. Among chemical constituents in plant biomass, cellulose, lignin, hemicellulose, proteins, polysaccharides, phenolic compounds, and animal biomass include polysaccharides and other compounds to bind heavy metals covalently and non-covalently. These functional groups include carboxyl, hydroxyl, carbonyl, amide, amine, and sulfhydryl. Cation-exchange capacities of these bioadsorbents can be improved by applying chemical modifications. The relevance of chemical constituents and bioactives in biosorbents derived from agricultural production such as food and fodder crops, bioenergy and cash crops, fruit and vegetable crops, medicinal and aromatic plants, plantation trees, aquatic and terrestrial weeds, and animal production such as dairy, goatery, poultry, duckery, and fisheries is highlighted in this comprehensive review for sequestering and bioremediation of CEECs, including as many as ten different heavy metals and metalloids co-contaminated with other organic micropollutants in circular bioresource utilization and one-health concepts.

Abstract
Microbial remediation of environmental pollutants can be advanced by carrier based cells immobilization. Whereas the effects of microorganisms immobilized on biochar for removal of zearalenone (ZEN) still remain unknown. Herein, this work presented the characterization of rice straw biochar (RSB) around modification in immobilizing Bacillus subtilis 168 and the role in fighting ZEN in vitro. Specifically, 10% of RSB with pH 5 condition were optimal for bearing cells, where majority of cells loaded inside the pore and minority on surface with agglomeration or scattering status. Octadecyl trimethyl ammonium chloride-inclusion RSB showed better performances including over 93% of ZEN detoxification rate (32.48% in free cells), cells preservation, and stability of detoxification in simulated gastrointestinal environment. RSB treated with sulphuric acid made nutrients adsorption generally less than 6.5%. No residues of α-ZEL and α-ZAL were found in ZEN biotransformation process whether by free cells or composites. Mechanism discussion implied that predominant monolayer chemisorption by RSB and subsequent biodegradation by extracellular enzymes from microorganism involved in ZEN-removal process. Collectively, these findings contribute to provide an applying strategy for coordination of biochar and microorganisms as potentially mycotoxin detoxifying agent in agricultural feed bioremediation and environmental decontamination processes.

Abstract
Diphenyl ether herbicides, typical globally used herbicides, threaten the agricultural environment and the sensitive crops. The microbial degradation pathways of diphenyl ether herbicides are well studied, but the nitroreduction of diphenyl ether herbicides by purified enzymes is still unclear. Here, the gene dnrA, encoding a nitroreductase DnrA responsible for the reduction of nitro to amino groups, was identified from the strain Bacillus sp. Za. DnrA had a broad substrate spectrum, and the Km values of DnrA for different diphenyl ether herbicides were 20.67 μM (fomesafen), 23.64 μM (bifenox), 26.19 μM (fluoroglycofen), 28.24 μM (acifluorfen), and 36.32 μM (lactofen). DnrA also mitigated the growth inhibition effect on cucumber and sorghum through nitroreduction. Molecular docking revealed the mechanisms of the compounds fomesafen, bifenox, fluoroglycofen, lactofen, and acifluorfen with DnrA. Fomesafen showed higher affinities and lower binding energy values for DnrA, and residue Arg244 affected the affinity between diphenyl ether herbicides and DnrA. This research provides new genetic resources and insights into the microbial remediation of diphenyl ether herbicide-contaminated environments. KEY POINTS: • Nitroreductase DnrA transforms the nitro group of diphenyl ether herbicides. • Nitroreductase DnrA reduces the toxicity of diphenyl ether herbicides. • The distance between Arg244 and the herbicides is related to catalytic efficiency.

Abstract
Human activities, including industrial and agricultural production, as well as domestic sewage discharge, have led to heavy metal pollution and eutrophication in coastal waters. This has caused a deficiency of dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP), but an excess dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP) and high concentrations of zinc. However, the impact of high zinc stress and different phosphorus species on primary producers remains unclear. This study examined the impact of different phosphorus species (DIP and DOP) and high zinc stress (1.74 mg L-1) on the growth and physiology of the marine diatom Thalassiosira weissflogii. The results showed that compared to the low zinc treatment (5 μg L-1), high zinc stress significantly decreased the net growth of T. weissflogii, but the decline was weaker in the DOP group than in the DIP group. Based on changes in photosynthetic parameters and nutrient concentrations, the study suggests that the growth inhibition of T. weissflogii under high zinc stress was likely due to an increase in cell death caused by zinc toxicity, rather than a decrease in cell growth caused by photosynthesis damage. Nonetheless, T. weissflogii was able to reduce zinc toxicity by antioxidant reactions through enhancing activities of superoxide dismutase and catalase and by cationic complexation through enhancing extracellular polymeric substances, particularly when DOP served as the phosphorus source. Furthermore, DOP had a unique detoxification mechanism by producing marine humic acid, which is conducive to complexing metal cations. These results provide valuable insights into the response of phytoplankton to environmental changes in coastal oceans, particularly the effects of high zinc stress and different phosphorus species on primary producers.

Abstract
Glutathione (GSH) participates in plant response to heavy metals (HMs) stress, however, the epigenetic regulating mechanisms of GSH in HMs detoxification remains unclear. In this study, to reveal the potential epigenetic regulating mechanisms, kenaf seedlings were treated with/without GSH under chromium (Cr) stress. A comprehensive physiological, genome-wide DNA methylation and gene functional analysis were performed. Results showed that external GSH obviously recovered Cr-induced growth inhibition, significantly decreased H2O2, O2.- and MDA accumulation, increased the activities of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, CAT, GR and APX) in kenaf exposed to Cr. In addition, the expression level of the main DNA methyltransferase (MET1, CMT3 and DRM1) and demethylase (ROS1, DEM, DML2, DML3 and DDM1) genes were investigated by qRT-PCR. The result indicated that Cr stress decreased DNA methyltransferase genes expression while increased demethylase genes expression; however, apply exogenous GSH led to the recovery trend. These indicating exogenous GSH alleviation Cr stress on kenaf seedlings by increasing DNA methylation level. At the same time, the MethylRAD-seq genome-wide DNA methylation analysis showed the DNA methylation level was significantly increased after GSH treatment compared with Cr treatment alone. The differentially methylated genes (DMGs) were uniquely enriched in DNA repair, flavin adenine dinucleotide binding and oxidoreductase activity. Furthermore, a ROS homeostasis-associated DMG, HcTrx, was selected for further functional analysis. Results showed that the knock-down of HcTrx kenaf seedlings displayed yellow-green phenotype and impaired antioxidant enzyme activity; in contrast, the overexpression lines of HcTrx improved chlorophyll levels and enhanced Cr tolerance in Arabidopsis. Taken together, our results illustrate the novel role of GSH-mediated Cr detoxification in kenaf by modulating the DNA methylation, and thus further affect the activation of antioxidant defense systems. The present characterized Cr tolerant gene resource could be further used for kenaf Cr tolerant breeding via genetic improvement.

Abstract
In the recent past, the development of efficient materials for degradation and detoxification of antibiotics has gained more attention in wastewater treatment process. As a visible light active material AgVO3 has attracted much concern in environmental remediation. To improve its efficiency and stability, a novel heterojunction was prepared by combining AgVO3 with rGO and BiVO4 through a hydrothermal method. The prepared AgVO3/rGO/BiVO4 composite was further utilized for effective detoxification of Norfloxacin (NFC) antibiotic. The morphological analysis revealed the clear rod shaped AgVO3 and leaf like BiVO4 that are evenly distributed on reduced graphene oxide (rGO) layers. The visible light absorbance and the catalytic activity of AgVO3/rGO/BiVO4 was dramatically improved compared to pure AgVO3 and BiVO4. From the results it showed that the degradation efficiency of AgVO3/rGO/BiVO4 (∼96.1%, k = 0.01782 min-1) was 2.5 times higher than pure AgVO3 and 3.4 times higher than the pure BiVO4 respectively towards NFC after 90 min. The higher efficiency could be attributed to the heterojunction formation and faster charge separation. The radical trapping experiments results indicated that the •OH, and O2•- are the main species responsible for degradation. The degradation products of NFC were analysed through ESI-LC/MS and pathway was proposed. Furthermore, the toxicity assessment of pure NFC and its degradation products was studied using E. coli as the model bacteria through colony forming unit assay and the results indicated the efficient detoxification was attained during the degradation process. Thus, our study provides new insight into detoxification of antibiotics using AgVO3 based composites.

Abstract
The emerging contaminants removal from the environment has recently been raised concerns due to their presence in higher concentrations. Over usage of emerging contaminant such as sulfamethazine poses serious threat to the aquatic and human health as well. This study deals with rationally structured a novel BiOCl (110)/NrGO/BiVO4 heterojunction which is used to detoxify sulfamethazine (SMZ) antibiotic efficiently. The synthesised composite was well characterized and the morphological analysis evidenced the formation of heterojunction consisted of nanoplates BiOCl with dominant exposed (110) facets and leaf like BiVO4 on NrGO layers. Further results revealed that the addition of BiVO4 and NrGO tremendously increased the photocatalytic degradation efficiency of BiOCl with the rate of 96.9% (k = 0.01783 min-1) towards SMZ within 60 min of visible light irradiation. Furthermore, heterojunction energy-band theory was employed to determine the degradation mechanism of SMX in this study. The larger surface area of BiOCl and NrGO layers are believed to be the reason for higher activity which facilitates the excellent charge transfer and improved light absorption. In addition, SMZ degradation products identification was carried out by LC-ESI/MS/MS to determine the pathway of degradation. The toxicity assessment was studied using E. coli as a model microorganism through colony forming unit assay (CFU), and the results indicated a significant reduction in biotoxicity was observed in 60 min of degradation process. Thus, our work gives new methods in developing various materials that effectively treat emerging contaminants from the aqueous environment.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to explore the potential of utilizing Chlorella sorokiniana SU-1 biomass grown on dairy wastewater-amended medium as sustainable feedstock for the biosynthesis of β-carotene and polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) by Rhodotorula glutinis #100-29. To break down the rigid cell wall, 100 g/L of microalgal biomass was treated with 3% sulfuric acid, followed by detoxification using 5% activated carbon to remove the hydroxymethylfurfural inhibitor. The detoxified microalgal hydrolysate (DMH) was used for flask-scale fermentation, which yielded a maximum biomass production of 9.22 g/L, with PHB and β-carotene concentration of 897 mg/L and 93.62 mg/L, respectively. Upon scaling up to a 5-L fermenter, the biomass concentration increased to 11.2 g/L, while the PHB and β-carotene concentrations rose to 1830 mg/L and 134.2 mg/L. These outcomes indicate that DMH holds promise as sustainable feedstock for the production of PHB and β-carotene by yeast.

Abstract
Macroalgae (seaweed) is considered a favorable feedstock for polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) production owing to its high productivity, low land and freshwater requirement, and renewable nature. Among different microbes Halomonas sp. YLGW01 can utilize algal biomass-derived sugars (galactose and glucose) for growth and PHAs production. Biomass-derived byproducts furfural, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), and acetate affects Halomonas sp. YLGW01 growth and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) production i.e., furfural > HMF > acetate. Eucheuma spinosum biomass-derived biochar was able to remove 87.9 % of phenolic compounds from its hydrolysate without affecting sugar concentration. Halomonas sp. YLGW01 grows and accumulates a high amount of PHB at 4 % NaCl. The use of detoxified unsterilized media resulted in high biomass (6.32 ± 0.16 g cdm/L) and PHB production (3.88 ± 0.04 g/L) compared to undetoxified media (3.97 ± 0.24 g cdm/L, 2.58 ± 0.1 g/L). The finding suggests that Halomonas sp. YLGW01 has the potential to valorize macroalgal biomass into PHAs and open a new avenue for renewable bioplastic production.

Abstract
The main goal of this study was to provide possible alternative production medium containing xylose enriched spent lemongrass hydrolysate with glycerol as a feedstock and corn gluten meal as a nitrogen source for their ability to support the cell growth of the Streptomyces clavuligerus MTCC 1142 for the production of clavulanic acid. The xylose was extracted from spent lemongrass by using 0.25% dilute nitric acid and further partial purification of acid spent hydrolysate was performed using ion exchange resin. The method was optimized using xylose enriched hydrolysate as feed stock combined with glycerol at ratio 1:1 and growing the selected strain aerobically in media at neutral pH containing 5 mM phosphate ion concentration and using corn gluten meal as a nitrogen source, fermenting at a temperature of 28-30 °C for 96 h and 0.59 g/L clavulanic acid was effectively produced. These results demonstrate the feasibility of using spent lemongrass as feedstock for the cultivation of S. clavuligerus to produce clavulanic acid.

Abstract
Enzymatic catalysis is a promising approach for the degradation of organic pollutants and peroxidases (PODs) are one of the most common enzyme classes used to degrade organic pollutants. Proso millet peroxidase (PmPOD) is a peroxidase extracted and purified from proso millet bran which is the by-product of proso millet processing. In this study, we investigated the effects of PmPOD on the degradation of typical organic pollutants (Rhodamine B (RhB), bisphenol A, sulfadiazine) for the first time. Moreover, we screened RhB as the substrate with the best degradation effect. The degradation rate of RhB catalyzed by PmPOD (10 nM) reached 99.46% in 30 min under the optimal conditions (pH 5, 30 ℃, and molar ratio of RhB, H2O2 and HOBT of 1:9.58:1.94 × 10-3). The reaction kinetics parameters of PmPOD-mediated RhB degradation Km, Vmax and kcat were 62.2, 935.7 and 9.357 × 104, respectively. High-performance liquid chromatography analyses confirmed that PmPOD transformed RhB into two new products. Furthermore, toxicological evaluation in Caenorhabditis elegans demonstrated that 10 μg/mL RhB significantly reduced the lifespan by 8.3%, reduced the motility and pharynx-pumping rate compared with the control group, while the 10 μg/mL RhB product had no significant effect on these indexes. These data indicated that the toxicity of RhB disappeared after catalytic degradation by PmPOD. Taken together, these data suggest that catalysis of PmPOD is an effective method for degradation and detoxification of RhB. This study provides a potential candidate method for the biological treatment of RhB, and improves the added value of proso millet bran.

Abstract
Anthropogenic activities such as mining, smelting, and overapplication of fertilizers contribute to introducing cadmium (Cd) into the biosphere. Cd accumulation in edible plants leads to phytotoxicity and reduces biomass formation and food production, posing a significant threat to global food security. Nitric oxide (NO) is a highly active gaseous signalling molecule involved in regulating plant responses to Cd stress. These responses include the protective role of NO in enhancing plant resistance to Cd exposure via activating the antioxidant defense system, maintaining intracellular redox homeostasis, and initiating the expression of genes relevant to stress defense. However, NO exacerbates Cd toxicity by promoting Cd uptake and accelerating programmed cell death in plants. These contradictory responses render the role of NO in regulating plant performance under Cd exposure highly controversial. To better understand the mechanisms responsible for the dual role of NO, we summarized the current knowledge on (1) the processes of Cd accumulation and detoxification in plants, (2) the pathways of NO synthesis and metabolism under Cd stress, and (3) the function of NO in regulating plant responses to Cd stress at the physiological and molecular levels. From this literature review, the processes responsible for the dual role of NO in plant responses to Cd exposure were deduced, and topics for future studies on the mechanisms of NO-mediated regulation of Cd detoxification in plants were identified.

Abstract
The complete pathway of chromium (Cr) transfer from soil to plant tissues and subcellular components under biochar amendment remains to be quantified, as well as the involved diverse detoxification processes in roots and stems respectively. Pot experiments and quantitative analysis were conducted to investigate Cr fixation in soil amended with Enteromorpha prolifera-derived biochar and subsequent phytoprocesses (Cr uptake, transfer, and phytotoxicity) in cultivated Secale cereale L. (rye). The results indicated that adding 5-30 g kg-1 of biochar increased the residual form of Cr (B4) in soil by 8-21% and decreased the bioavailable form of Cr (B1) by 9-29%. For Cr transferred to rye, Cr in the rye was mainly present in the low-toxicity bound state, with the acetic acid-extracted Cr (F4) (45-54%) in roots and the NaCl-extracted Cr (F3) (37-47%) in stems. The subcellular distribution of Cr in both roots and stems was predominantly in the cell wall and residues (T1), followed by the cytoplasm (T4). Partial least squares path model (PLS-PM) was used for quantifying the effect of biochar on the form changes and subcellular detoxification of Cr from soil to roots and stems to sub-cells. In soils, biochar reduced the bioavailability of Cr and decreased the transfer of Cr to rye. In plant roots, Cr was distributed mainly as low-toxicity phosphate complexes in cell walls and vacuoles in sub-cells (with the largest path coefficients of 0.90 and -0.91, respectively). In the stems, Cr was distributed mainly as proteins integrated into the cell walls and vacuoles. This was due to the difference in subcellular compartmentalization of detoxification in the roots and stems. These PLS-PM results provide new insights into the entire process of pollutant detoxification in complex environments.

Abstract
Cadmium (Cd) accumulation in crops causes potential risks to human health. Microbial extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are a complex mixture of biopolymers that can bind various heavy metals. The present work examined the alleviating effects of EPS on Cd toxicity in rice and its detoxification mechanism. The 100 μM Cd stress hampered the overall plant growth and development, damaged the ultrastructures of both leaf and root cells, and caused severe lipid peroxidation in rice plants. However, applying EPS at a concentration of 100 mg/L during Cd stress resulted in increased biomass, reduced Cd accumulation and transport, and minimized the oxidative damage. EPS application also enhanced Cd retention in the shoot cell walls and root vacuoles, and actively altered the expression of genes involved in cell wall formation, antioxidant defense systems, transcription factors, and hormone metabolism. These findings provide new insights into EPS-mediated mitigation of Cd stress in plants and help us to develop strategies to improve crop yield in Cd-contaminated soils in the future.

Abstract
Lepidopteran specialist herbivores of the Notodontidae family have adapted to thrive on poplar and willow species (Salicaceae). Previous research showed that Cerura vinula, a member of the Notodontidae family occurring throughout Europe and Asia, uses a unique mechanism to transform salicortinoids, the host plant's defense compounds, into quinic acid-salicylate conjugates. However, how the production of this conjugates relates to the detoxification of salicortinoids and how this transformation proceeds mechanistically have remained unknown. To find the mechanisms, we conducted gut homogenate incubation experiments with C. vinula and re-examined its metabolism by analyzing the constituents of its frass. To estimate the contribution of spontaneous degradation, we examined the chemical stability of salicortinoids and found that salicortinoids were degraded very quickly by midgut homogenates and that spontaneous degradation plays only a marginal role in the metabolism. We learned how salicortinoids are transformed into salicylate after we discovered reductively transformed derivatives, which were revealed to play key roles in the metabolism. Unless they have undergone the process of reduction, salicortinoids produce toxic catechol. We also studied constituents in the frass of the Notodontidae species Cerura erminea, Clostera anachoreta, Furcula furcula, Notodonta ziczac, and Pheosia tremula, and found the same metabolites as those described for C. vinula. We conclude that the process whereby salicortinoids are reductively transformed represents an important adaption of the Notodontidae to their Salicaceae host species.

Abstract
In insects, glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) play a pivotal role in the detoxification of a wide range of pesticides. The cigarette beetle, Lasioderma serricorne, is an economically important pest insect of stored products. Recently, pyrethroid insecticides have been used to control this pest. However, little is known concerning the responses and functions of GSTs in L. serricorne under pyrethroid exposure. In this study, transcriptome sequencing was performed on L. serricorne, and a total of 14 GSTs were identified by retrieving the unigene dataset. Of these, 13 predicted GSTs fell into six cytosolic classes, namely, delta, epsilon, omega, sigma, theta, and zeta, and one was assigned to an "unclassified" group. The GST genes were differentially expressed in various larval tissues and at different developmental stages. Exposure to the pyrethroid insecticide lambda-cyhalothrin (LCT) caused oxidative stress in L. serricorne larvae and led to significantly elevated expression levels of six genes, among which LsGSTe1 was the most upregulated. Recombinant LsGSTE1 protein displayed LCT-metabolizing activity. Furthermore, LsGSTE1 protects cells against oxidative stress. Moreover, knockdown of LsGSTe1 by RNA interference dramatically increased the susceptibility of L. serricorne larvae to LCT treatment. The results from this study provide sequence resources and expression data for GST genes in L. serricorne. Our findings indicate that LsGSTE1 plays a dual role in LCT detoxification by metabolizing the pesticide and by preventing LCT-induced oxidative stress. Thus, the LsGSTe1 gene could be used as a potential target for sustainable management of the cigarette beetle.

Abstract
As an organic macromolecule, humic acid (HA) has been extensively used as the protectant for bacteria applied in Cr(VI) microbial remediation. However, the effect of the structural properties of HA on the reduction rate of bacteria and the respective contribution of bacteria and HA to soil Cr(VI) management remained uncertain. In this paper, the structural differences between two kinds of humic acid (AL-HA and MA-HA) were explored by means of spectroscopy and electrochemical characterization, and the potential influence of MA-HA on Cr(VI) reduction rate and physiological characteristics of bacteria (Bacillus subtilis, SL-44) also were analyzed. The results showed that the phenolic groups and carboxyl on the surface of HA are firstly complex with Cr(VI) ions, and the fluorescent component with more п-п conjugate structure in HA is the most sensitive species. Compared with single bacteria, the application of SL-44 and MA-HA complex (SL-MA) not only enhanced the reduction of 100 mg/L Cr(VI) to 39.8 % within 72 h and formation rate of intermediate Cr(V), but also reduced the electrochemical impedance. Moreover, the addition of 300 mg/L MA-HA also relieved the Cr(VI) toxicity and decreased the accumulation of glutathione to 94.51 % in bacterial extracellular polymeric substance, furthermore down-regulated the gene expression related to amino acid metabolism and polyhydroxybutyric acid (PHB) hydrolysis in SL-44. Finally, the application of SL-MA also enhanced the stability of chromium in soil and decreased its phytoavailability to 86.09 %, which further reduced chromium enrichment in cabbage organs. These findings provide new insights into Cr(VI) removal, which is also critical for evaluating the application potential of HA for enhancing Cr(VI) bio-reduction.

Abstract
Eriocheir sinensis is one of the most important economic aquatic products in China. However, nitrite pollution has become a serious threat to the healthy culture of E. sinensis. Glutathione S-transferase (GST) is an important phase II detoxification enzyme, which plays a leading role in the cellular detoxification of exogenous substances. In this study, we obtained 15 GST genes (designated as EsGST1-15) from E. sinensis, and their expression and regulation in E. sinensis under nitrite stress were studied. EsGST1-15 belonged to different GST subclasses. EsGST1, EsGST2, EsGST3, EsGST4, and EsGST5 belonged to Delta-class GSTs; EsGST6 and EsGST7 are Theta-class GSTs; EsGST8 is a mGST-3-class GST; EsGST9 belonged to mGST-1-class GSTs; EsGST10 and EsGST11 belonged to Sigma-class GSTs; EsGST12, EsGST13, and EsGST14 are Mu-class GSTs; EsGST15 is a Kappa-class GST. Tissue distribution experiments showed that EsGSTs were widely distributed in all detected tissues. The expression level of EsGST1-15 was significantly increased in the hepatopancreas under nitrite stress, indicating that EsGSTs were involved in the detoxification of E. sinensis under nitrite stress. Nuclear factor-erythroid 2 related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a transcription factor that can activate the expression of detoxification enzyme. We detected the expression of EsGST1-15 after interfering with EsNrf2 in the hepatopancreas of E. sinensis with or without nitrite stress. Results showed that EsGST1-15 were all regulated by EsNrf2 with or without nitrite stress. Our study provides new information about the diversity, expression, and regulation of GSTs in E. sinensis under nitrite stress.

Abstract
The poultry red mite (PRM), Dermanyssus gallinae, is a major threat for the poultry industry worldwide. Chemical compounds have been extensively used for PRM control, leading to selection of resistant mites. Molecular mechanisms of resistance have been investigated in arthropods, showing the role of target-site insensitivity and enhanced detoxification. Few studies are available about those mechanisms in D. gallinae, and none have yet focused on the expression levels of detoxification enzymes and other defense-related genes through RNA-seq. We tested PRM populations from Italy for their susceptibility to the acaricidal compounds phoxim and cypermethrin. Mutations in the voltage-gated sodium channel (vgsc) and in acetylcholinesterase (AChE) were investigated, detecting mutations known to be associated with acaricide/insecticide resistance in arthropods, including M827I and M918L/T in the vgsc and G119S in the AChE. RNA-seq analysis was performed to characterize metabolic resistance in fully susceptible PRM and in cypermethrin-resistant PRM exposed and unexposed to cypermethrin as well as phoxim resistant PRM exposed and unexposed to phoxim. Detoxification enzymes (including P450 monooxygenases and glutathione-S-transferases), ABC transporters and cuticular proteins were constitutively overexpressed in phoxim and cypermethrin resistant mites. In addition, heat shock proteins were found constitutively and inductively upregulated in phoxim resistant mites, while in cypermethrin resistant mites esterases and an aryl hydrocarbon receptor were constitutively highly expressed. The findings suggest that acaricide resistance in D. gallinae is due to both target-site insensitivity and overexpression of detoxification enzymes and other xenobiotic defense-related genes, which is mostly constitutive and not induced by treatment. Understanding the molecular basis of resistance could be useful to screen or test PRM populations in order to select targeted acaricides and to avoid the abuse/misuse of the few available compounds.

Abstract
Anthropogenic activities pose a more significant threat to the environment than natural phenomena by contaminating the environment with heavy metals. Cadmium (Cd), a highly poisonous heavy metal, has a protracted biological half-life and threatens food safety. Plant roots absorb Cd due to its high bioavailability through apoplastic and symplastic pathways and translocate it to shoots through the xylem with the help of transporters and then to the edible parts via the phloem. The uptake and accumulation of Cd in plants pose deleterious effects on plant physiological and biochemical processes, which alter the morphology of vegetative and reproductive parts. In vegetative parts, Cd stunts root and shoot growth, photosynthetic activities, stomatal conductance, and overall plant biomass. Plants' male reproductive parts are more prone to Cd toxicity than female reproductive parts, ultimately affecting their grain/fruit production and survival. To alleviate/avoid/tolerate Cd toxicity, plants activate several defense mechanisms, including enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants, Cd-tolerant gene up-regulations, and phytohormonal secretion. Additionally, plants tolerate Cd through chelating and sequestering as part of the intracellular defensive mechanism with the help of phytochelatins and metallothionein proteins, which help mitigate the harmful effects of Cd. The knowledge on the impact of Cd on plant vegetative and reproductive parts and the plants' physiological and biochemical responses can help selection of the most effective Cd-mitigating/avoiding/tolerating strategy to manage Cd toxicity in plants.

Abstract
Natural and anthropogenic causes are continually growing sources of metals in the ecosystem; hence, heavy metal (HM) accumulation has become a primary environmental concern. HM contamination poses a serious threat to plants. A major focus of global research has been to develop cost-effective and proficient phytoremediation technologies to rehabilitate HM-contaminated soil. In this regard, there is a need for insights into the mechanisms associated with the accumulation and tolerance of HMs in plants. It has been recently suggested that plant root architecture has a critical role in the processes that determine sensitivity or tolerance to HMs stress. Several plant species, including those from aquatic habitats, are considered good hyperaccumulators for HM cleanup. Several transporters, such as the ABC transporter family, NRAMP, HMA, and metal tolerance proteins, are involved in the metal acquisition mechanisms. Omics tools have shown that HM stress regulates several genes, stress metabolites or small molecules, microRNAs, and phytohormones to promote tolerance to HM stress and for efficient regulation of metabolic pathways for survival. This review presents a mechanistic view of HM uptake, translocation, and detoxification. Sustainable plant-based solutions may provide essential and economical means of mitigating HM toxicity.

Abstract
Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a transcription factor that regultes the cellular antioxidant defense system at the posttranscriptional level. During oxidative stress, Nrf2 is released from its negative regulator Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 (Keap1) and binds to antioxidant response element (ARE) to transcribe antioxidative metabolizing/detoxifying genes. Various transcription factors like aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and nuclear factor kappa light chain enhancer of activated B cells (NF-kB) and epigenetic modification including DNA methylation and histone methylation might also regulate the expression of Nrf2. Despite its protective role, Keap1/Nrf2/ARE signaling is considered as a pharmacological target due to its involvement in various pathophysiological conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, hepatotoxicity and kidney disorders. Recently, nanomaterials have received a lot of attention due to their unique physiochemical properties and are also used in various biological applications, for example, biosensors, drug delivery systems, cancer therapy, etc. In this review, we will be discussing the functions of nanoparticles and Nrf2 as a combined therapy or sensitizing agent and their significance in various diseases such as diabetes, cancer and oxidative stress-mediated diseases.

Abstract
Metabolic resistance is one of the most frequent mechanisms of insecticide resistance, characterized by an increased expression of several important enzymes and transporters, especially cytochrome P450s (CYPs). Due to the large number of P450s in pests, determining the precise relationship between these enzymes and the insecticide substrates is a challenge. Herein, we developed a luminescence-based screening system for efficient identification of insecticide substrates and insect P450 inhibitors. We recombinantly expressed Bemisia tabaci CYP6CM1vQ (Bt CYP6CM1vQ) in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe and subsequently permeabilized the yeast cells to convert them into "enzyme bags". We exploited these enzyme bags to screen the activity of twelve luciferin substrates and identified Luciferin-FEE as the optimal competing probe that was further used to characterize the metabolism of eight candidate commercial insecticides. Among them, Bt CYP6CM1vQ exhibited notable activity against pymetrozine and imidacloprid. Their binding modes were predicted by homology modeling and molecular docking, revealing the mechanisms of the metabolism. We also tested the inhibitory effect of eight known P450 inhibitors using our system and identified letrozole and 1-benzylimidazole as showing significant activity against Bt CYP6CM1vQ, with IC50 values of 23.74 μM and 1.30 μM, respectively. Their potential to be developed as an insecticide synergist was further proven by an in vitro toxicity assay using imidacloprid-resistant Bemisia tabaci. Overall, our luciferin-based enzyme bag method is capable of providing a robust and efficient screening of insect P450 substrates and, more importantly, inhibitors to overcome the resistance.

Abstract
T-2 toxin, a type A trichothecene, is a secondary metabolite produced by Fusarium poae, Fusarium sporotrichioides, and Fusarium tricinctum. As the most toxic trichothecenes, T-2 toxin causes severe damage to multiple organs, especially to liver. However, the contamination of T-2 toxin covers a wide range of plants, including nuts, grains, fruits and herbs globally. And due to chemical stability of T-2 toxin, it is difficult to be completely removed from the food and feeds, which poses a great threat to human and animal health. Liver is the major detoxifying organ which also makes it the main target of T-2 toxin. After being absorbed by intestine, the first pass effect will reduce the level of T-2 toxin in blood indicating that liver is the main metabolic site of T-2 toxin in vivo. In this review, updated researches on the hepatotoxicity of T-2 toxin were summarized. The metabolic characteristic of T-2 toxin in vivo was introduced. The main hepatotoxic mechanisms of T-2 toxin are oxidative stress, mitochondrial damage, deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) methylation, autophagy and apoptosis. Recent research of the main hepatotoxic mechanisms of T-2 toxin and the interactions between these mechanisms were summarized. The remission of the hepatotoxicity induced by T-2 toxin was also studied in this review followed by new findings on the detoxification of hepatotoxicity induced by T-2 toxin. The review aimed to offer a comprehensive view and proposes new perspectives in the field of hepatotoxicity induced by T-2 toxin.

Abstract
Mercury (Hg) is a heavy metal (HM) that affects crop growth and productivity. In a previous study, we found that application of exogenous abscisic acid (ABA) alleviated growth inhibition in Hg-stressed wheat seedlings. However, the physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying ABA-mediated Hg detoxification remained unclear. In this study, Hg exposure reduced the plant fresh and dry weights and root numbers. Exogenous ABA treatment significantly resumed the plant growth, increased the plant height and weight, and enriched the roots numbers and biomass. The application of ABA enhanced Hg absorption and raised the Hg levels in the roots. In addition, exogenous ABA decreased Hg-induced oxidative damage and significantly brought down the activities of antioxidant enzymes, such as SOD, POD and CAT. Global gene expression patterns in the roots and leaves exposed to HgCl2 and ABA treatments were examined via RNA-Seq. The data showed that genes related to ABA-mediated Hg detoxification were enriched in functions related to cell wall formation. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) further indicated that the genes implicated in Hg detoxification were related to cell wall synthesis. Under Hg stress, ABA significantly induced expression of the genes encoding cell wall synthesis enzymes, regulated the activity of hydrolase, and increased the concentrations of cellulose and hemicellulose, hence promoting cell wall synthesis. Taken together, these results suggest that exogenous ABA could alleviate Hg toxicity in wheat by promoting cell wall formation and suppressing translocation of Hg from roots to shoots.

Abstract
The western honeybee, Apis mellifera, is a managed pollinator of many crops and potentially exposed to a wide range of foreign compounds, including pesticides throughout its life cycle. Honeybees as well as other insects recruit molecular defense mechanisms to facilitate the detoxification of xenobiotic compounds. The inventory of detoxification genes (DETOXome) is comprised of five protein superfamilies: cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450), carboxylesterases, glutathione S-transferases (GST), UDP-glycosyl transferases (UGT) and ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters. Here we characterized the gene expression profile of the entire honeybee DETOXome by analyzing 47 transcriptomes across the honeybee life cycle, including different larval instars, pupae, and adults. All life stages were well separated by principal component analysis, and K-means clustering revealed distinct temporal patterns of gene expression. Indeed, >50% of the honeybee detoxification gene inventory is found in one cluster and follows strikingly similar expression profiles, i.e., increased expression during larval development, followed by a sharp decline after pupation and a steep increase again in adults. This cluster includes 29 P450 genes dominated by CYP3 and CYP4 clan members, 15 ABC transporter genes mostly belonging to the ABCC subfamily and 13 carboxylesterase genes including almost all members involved in dietary/detox and hormone/semiochemical processing. RT-qPCR analysis of selected detoxification genes from all families revealed high expression levels in various tissues, especially Malpighian tubules, fatbody and midgut, supporting the view that these tissues are essential for metabolic clearance of environmental toxins and pollutants in honeybees. Our study is meant to spark further research on the molecular basis of detoxification in this critical pollinator to better understand and evaluate negative impacts from potentially toxic substances. Additionally, the entire gene set of 47 transcriptomes collected and analyzed provides a valuable resource for future honeybee research across different disciplines.

Abstract
Atorvastatin (ATV) is a hypolipidemic drug widely detected in the aquatic environment. Nevertheless, limited information is provided about the toxic effects of ATV on estuary or coastal species and the underlying mechanisms. In the present study, the responses of genes expression in pregnane X receptor (PXR) signaling pathway and enzymatic activities in the liver of the estuarine benthic fish (Mugilogobius chulae) were investigated under acute and sub-chronic ATV exposure. Results showed that PXR was significantly inhibited in the highest exposure concentration of ATV for a shorter time (24 h, 500 μg L-1) but induced in a lower concentration (72 h, 5 μg L-1). The downstream genes in PXR signaling pathway such as CYP3A, SULT, UGT, and GST showed similar trends to PXR. P-gp and MRP1 were repressed in most treatments. GCLC associated with GSH synthesis was mostly induced under ATV exposure for a long time (168 h), suggesting that reactive oxygen species (ROS) were generated under ATV exposure. Similarly, GST and SOD enzymatic activities significantly increased in most exposure treatments. Under ATV exposure, SIRT1 and SIRT2 displayed induction to some extent in most treatments, suggesting that SIRTs may affect PXR expression by regulating the acetylation levels of PXR. The investigation demonstrated that ATV exposure affected the expression of the Sirtuin/PXR signaling pathway, thus further interfered adaption of M. chulae to the environment.

Abstract
In recent years, nanoparticles derived from cellular membranes have been increasingly explored for the prevention and treatment of human disease. With their flexible design and ability to interface effectively with the surrounding environment, these biomimetic nanoparticles can outperform their traditional synthetic counterparts. As their popularity has increased, researchers have developed novel ways to modify the nanoparticle surface to introduce new or enhanced capabilities. Moving beyond naturally occurring materials derived from wild-type cells, genetic manipulation has proven to be a robust and flexible method by which nanoformulations with augmented functionalities can be generated. In this review, an overview of genetic engineering approaches to express novel surface proteins is provided, followed by a discussion on the various biomedical applications of genetically modified cellular nanoparticles.

Abstract
Phytochemicals are a class of potential pesticides for pest control. Our previous studies have demonstrated that the development of Spodoptera litura is suppressed by two phytochemicals, flavone and xanthotoxin. Generally, phytochemical is metabolized by insect detoxification enzyme systems. Nuclear receptor (NR) is the ligand-activated transcription factor that involved in the regulation of detoxification gene expressions. To explore how NR responds to phytochemical to mediate detoxification gene expression, in the present study, 19 NRs were firstly identified in S. litura genome. The transcriptional levels of most NRs were significantly induced in the midgut of S. litura larvae after exposure to flavone and xanthotoxin. RNAi-mediated knockdown of FTZF1, EcR, Dsf, and HR3 remarkably reduced the larval tolerance to flavone or xanthotoxin. In addition, many crucial detoxification genes were downregulated by dsNR administrations, which might be responsible for the high sensitivity of S. litura to phytochemicals. Molecular docking indicated that phytochemicals as the potential ligands had high affinity to bind to NRs. This study suggested that NR potentially regulated the transcriptional expression of detoxification genes in response to phytochemical stresses, which partially elucidated the mechanism of extensive host adaptation in S. litura and provided the theoretical evidences for the development of NR-targeted insecticides.

Abstract
Hazardous pollutants released into the real environment mostly own long-lasting cumulative characteristics and have progressively negative impacts on organisms, which are always neglected in laboratory toxicological tests. Here in this study, the different ecotoxicity of Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) on earthworm Eisenia fetida was compared via various endpoints and transcriptional sequencing between the 28-day progressively repeated (from 60 to 80, final 100 mg/kg) and one-step (directly to 100 mg/kg) exposure. The results showed that earthworms under progressively repeated exposure showed significantly less biomass loss and reproductive inhibition, as well as lower Ag bioaccumulation (15.6 mg/kg) compared with one-step exposure (17.9 mg/kg). The increases in enzyme activities (superoxide enzyme and catalase) and gene expression (metallothionein) also implied higher antioxidant and genetic toxicity in one-step exposed earthworms compared with those from progressively repeated exposure. Furthermore, the transcriptomic analysis identified 582 and 854 differentially expressed genes in the treatments of one-step and repeated exposure respectively compared with the control group. The results of pathway annotation and classification suggested similar enrichments of damage induction but different in toxic stress responses, whereas earthworms from repeated exposure possessed more detoxification-related pathways like translation and multicellular organismal processes. This study innovatively took into account the impacts of processive exposure occurring in the real environment and elucidated distinctions of toxicity and adaptation caused by different exposure patterns, which provided the theoretical basis for real risk identification under the framework and guidance of traditional toxicology, also the implication for the improvement of eco-toxicological risk assessment.

Abstract
The medical value of mosquitoes attracted researchers worldwide to search for a valuable way to control such serious insects. The continuous development of resistance against chemical insecticides pushed toward looking for novel and promising compounds against mosquitoes. In this study, the toxicity and physio-developmental effects of 10-30 nm spherical zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) in aqueous suspension was addressed against the first larval instar of Culex pipiens mosquito. The calculated value of LC50 was about 0.892 g/L while the sub lethal concentration LC20 recorded about 0.246 g/L. Larvae treated with ZnONPs suffered reduced growth rate, longer developmental period and malformations in the breathing tube. Furthermore, the treated larvae showed clear abnormal appearance of the gastric caeca and midgut epithelia under transmission electron microscope (TEM). These abnormalities appeared as condensation of the nuclear chromatin, abnormal shape or absence of microvilli, highly increased amount of smooth endoplasmic reticulum in the cytoplasm and appearance of numerous vacuoles. Additionally, ZnONPs interfered with several biochemical pathways such as induction of oxidative stress which appeared in the form of increased levels of hydrogen peroxide and inability to activate the detoxifying enzymes alkaline phosphatase (ALP), catalase and glutathione peroxidase (GPX). On the contrary, the activity of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) increased in treated larvae. Furthermore, LC20 and LC50 of ZnONPs inhibited the growth rate of the larval gut fauna in vitro. These results clearly show that ZnONPs target several tissues leading to serious alteration in the physiological and developmental processes in C. pipiens mosquito larvae.

Abstract
Acid mine drainage (AMD) is low-pH with high concentration of sulfates and toxic metal(loid)s (e.g. As, Cd, Pb, Cu, Zn), thereby posing a global environmental problem. For decades, microalgae have been used to remediate metal(loid)s in AMD, as they have various adaptive mechanisms for tolerating extreme environmental stress. Their main phycoremediation mechanisms are biosorption, bioaccumulation, coupling with sulfate-reducing bacteria, alkalization, biotransformation, and Fe/Mn mineral formation. This review summarizes how microalgae cope with metal(loid) stress and their specific mechanisms of phycoremediation in AMD. Based on the universal physiological characteristics of microalgae and the properties of their secretions, several Fe/Mn mineralization mechanisms induced by photosynthesis, free radicals, microalgal-bacterial reciprocity, and algal organic matter are proposed. Notably, microalgae can also reduce Fe(III) and inhibit mineralization, which is environmentally unfavorable. Therefore, the comprehensive environmental effects of microalgal co-occurring and cyclical opposing processes must be carefully considered. Using chemical and biological perspectives, this review innovatively proposes several specific processes and mechanisms of Fe/Mn mineralization that are mediated by microalgae, providing a theoretical basis for the geochemistry of metal(loid)s and natural attenuation of pollutants in AMD.

Abstract
Difenoconazole (DFZ) is a broad-spectrum fungicide widely applied in wheat production. However, excessive accumulation is linked to phytotoxicity. The effects of DFZ on plants and the response mechanisms to DFZ toxicity are poorly understood. Herein, the uptake, accumulation, and translocation of DFZ and induced changes in the morphology, physiology, and gene expression were investigated under hydroculture of roots treated with 50, 100, and 200 mg/L DFZ concentrations. Compared with the control, DEZ treatment upregulated the expression of genes encoding 4-coumarate-CoA ligase (4CL) and peroxidase (POD) involved in the lignin biosynthesis pathway and enhanced lignin biosynthesis. DFZ accumulated more in older leaves (cotyledons and lower true leaves), with 0.49-5.71 and 0.09-2.14 folds higher than levels in new upper leaves and roots, respectively. The excessive accumulation of DFZ in tissues was rapidly degraded, with a 15.7-69.3% reduction of DFZ content in roots and leaves from 3 DAT to 6 DAT. The genes expression and activity of glutathione S-transferase (GST) were increased. Furthermore, DFZ treatments upregulated genes encoding chalcone synthase (CHS), chalcone isomerase (CHI), and anthocyanidin synthase (ANS) involved in the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway and increased the amount of flavonoid and anthocyanins in leaves. This study provides new insights into the self-protective behaviors exhibited by wheat plants under DFZ stress. The mechanisms included hindering DFZ penetration from roots by enhancing lignin biosynthesis, accumulating more in old leaves, degrading by GST, and alleviating oxidative damage by increasing the content of flavonoids and anthocyanins in leaves.

Abstract
Coupled reactions among chromium (Cr), organic matter (OM), and iron (Fe) minerals play significant roles in Cr and carbon (C) cycling in Cr-contaminated soils. Although the inhibitory effects of Cr or polysaccharides acid (PGA) on ferrihydrite transformation have been widely studied, mechanistic insights into detoxification of Cr(VI) and immobilization of Cr and C during the microbially mediated reductive transformation of ferrihydrite remain unclear. In this study, underlying sequestration mechanisms of Cr and C during dissimilatory Fe reduction at various Cr/Fe ratios were investigated. Solid-phase analysis showed that reductive transformation rates of ferrihydrite were impeded by high Cr/Fe ratio and more magnetite was found at low Cr loadings. Microscopic analysis showed that formed Cr(III) was immobilized by magnetite and goethite through isomorphous substitution, whereas PGA was adsorbed on the crystalline Fe mineral surface. Spectroscopic results uncovered that binding of Fe minerals and PGA was achieved by surface complexation of structural Fe with carboxyl functional groups, and that the adhesion order of PGA functional groups and Fe minerals was influenced by the Cr/Fe ratios. These findings have significant implications for remediating Cr contaminants, realizing C fixation, and developing a quantitative model for Cr and C cycling by coupling reductive transformation in Cr-contaminated environments.

Abstract
A practical photocatalytic method using efficient and nontoxic is crucial for wastewater treatment technology. The present study deals with the preparation of BiPO4/Ag3PO4@rGO heterojunction through hydrothermal process and utilized it for efficient degradation and detoxification of Tetracycline (TCL) antibiotic. The prepared composite was characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV-vis DRS spectroscopy, Scanning electron microscope (SEM), Transmission electron microscope (TEM) and XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy). From our study, it was evident that the addition of Ag3PO4 extensively improved the photocatalytic efficiency of BiPO4 with a degradation of the rate of 94.6% (k = 0.01783 min-1) towards TCL under visible light within 90 min irradiation. The heterojunction energy-band theory has been adopted to understand the mechanism of degradation. The improved efficiency was ascribed to the excellent charge transfer between the interface of p-n heterojunction and the improvement in the absorption of light. Furthermore, LC/ESI-MS/MS (liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry) carried out TCL degradation product identification to propose the degradation pathway. The biotoxicity assessment studies revealed that effective detoxification was observed during degradation. Thus, this work extends new methods for developing new BiPO4-based heterojunction composites to meet the requirements for remediation of a contaminated aqueous environment.

Abstract
The water-soluble coordination polymer of formula {[Pb(Sal)2(H2O)]n} (SaLead), was obtained from the reaction between Pb(NO3)2 and the potassium salt of salicylic acid (SalH), an anti-inflammatory drug, which is also use as food preservation, in cosmetics etc. The compound was characterized by melting point, Attenuated Total Reflectance-Fourier Transform Infra-Red (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction crystallography (XRD) in solid state and in solution by Ultra Violet (UV) and 1H NMR spectroscopies. The binding affinity of SalK to Pb(II) ions towards SaLead was determined in order to examine its possible implementation in lead detoxification. The in vitro non-toxic behaviour of SalK and its complex SaLead was evaluated against normal human fetal lung fibroblast cells (MRC-5). The corresponding IC50 values are 260 ± 13 and > 1600 μM respectively. The non-genotoxic in vitro activity of SaLead was confirmed with the micronucleus (MN) assay, while its in vivo non-toxicity behaviour was evaluated with Allium cepa and Artemia salina assays.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Various toxic medicinal materials have been used by different ethnic minorities in China for thousands of years because of their extraordinary pharmacological activities. However, the improper use and complex toxicity-efficacy relationship could cause poisoning and even death. Therefore, the study of toxicity-attenuating methods and mechanisms is necessary. AIM OF THE STUDY This review aims to summarize commonly used toxic ethnomedicines and their processing methods as well as the underlying mechanisms to potentially reduce toxicity and even enhance or preserve efficacy. Prospective for possible future investigations is also discussed. MATERIALS AND METHODS Processing methods and mechanisms are investigated mainly through literature review. RESULTS Processing methods with heating (boiling, stir frying, and steaming, etc.) and without heating (soaking) are usually used by Chinese ethnic minorities to attenuate the toxicity of ethnomedicines. Wheat bran, vinegar, wine, and herbal decoction are commonly used processing excipients. The mechanisms of detoxification by processing can be briefly summarized into three major categories: (1) direct elimination of impurities or reduction of toxic constituents' contents of ethnomedicines by cutting, washing, soaking or frosting; (2) chemical structure transformation of toxic constituents, such as alkaloids, glycosides, toxic proteins, animal toxicants, and mineral components, during heating and/or soaking; and (3) biological synergism or antagonism effects between the chemical constituents of processing excipients and ethnomedicines in vivo, to reduce toxicity and protect target organs. CONCLUSION Toxic ethnomedicines have long been used in China, and detoxification by processing is the prerequisite for their safe clinical application. However, understanding on the special processing methods and detoxification mechanisms of ethnomedicines in China remains insufficient. Investigations on quality control of toxic ethnomedicines, as well as evaluation of processing methods and studies of the corresponding mechanisms should be further strengthened for safe and effective clinical application.

Abstract
The particle size distribution (PSD), composition, morphology, and formation mechanism of particulate matter (PM) released from the combustion of spent pot lining with and without CaSiO3 were investigated. The results showed that NaF and Na3AlF6 were found to be the main compositions of PM, and the particle size distribution of PM shows a bimodal distribution. CaSiO3 substantially inhibited the emission of PM by transforming NaF, Na3AlF6, and CaF2 into stable Ca4Si2O7F2. Moreover, CaSiO3 also limited the formation of high hazardous PM0.2 by providing SiO2, Al2O3, and NaAlSiO4 with high melting points as the core of promoting the growth of PM in particle size.

Abstract
Amphipods are ideal indicators for biomonitoring and ecotoxicological studies of environmental contaminants because they are extensively distributed in aquatic environments, are easy to collect and are important in nutrient cycling. Marine amphipods (Allorchestes compressa) were exposed to two concentrations of copper and pyrene, and their mixtures, for 24 and 48 h. Changes in polar metabolites were assessed using Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS)-based untargeted metabolomics. Generally, limited metabolite changes were observed for copper and pyrene single exposures (eight and two significant metabolites, respectively), while 28 metabolites had changed following exposures to mixtures. Furthermore, changes were mainly observed after 24 h but had seemingly returned to control levels after 48 h. Multiple types of metabolites were affected including amino acids, Tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle intermediates, sugars, fatty acids, and hormones. This study highlights the sensitivity of metabolomics in assessing the impacts of low concentrations of chemicals compared to traditional ecotoxicological endpoints.

Abstract
Mycotoxins are the secondary fungal metabolites generally produced by wide range of fungi including aflatoxins (AF), ochratoxin A (OTA), fumonisins (FB), zearalenone (ZEN), and deoxynivalenol (DON). Nowadays, they are main concern to food and agricultural commodities due to undesirable health and socio-economic effect. This investigation was designed to synthesized microcapsules loaded the bioactive compounds of date seed and evaluated its inhibitory activities in mice received mold-contaminated diet. The finding revealed that the developed microcapsule is homogenous and mostly spherical with size of 2.58 μm with acceptable PDI of 0.21. The main phytochemical has been confirmed by HPLC analysis were xylose, fructose, mannose, glucose, and galactose with the respective values of 41.95%, 2.24%, 5.27%, and 0.169%. The in vivo analyses manifested that the mice received date seed microcapsules significantly (p < 0.05) improved the average daily weight gain, feed intake, liver enzymes (ALT, ALP, and AST), and lipid peroxidation values compare to mice group received mycotoxin-contaminated diet. Furthermore, encapsulation date seed bioactive compounds notably up-regulated the expression of GPx, SOD, IFN-γ, and IL-2 genes while down-regulated the iNOS gene. Consequently, the novel microcapsules loaded date seed is suggested to be considered as a promising mycotoxin inhibitor.

Abstract
Dilute acid hydrolysis is the most common and effective method for converting lignocellulosic substrates into fermentable sugars. However, this hydrolysis partially degrades the lignin into phenolic compounds (PC), inhibiting the fermentation medium by retaining it in the hydrolyzate. Response surface methodology is a modeling and optimization technique used to examine the effect of multiple factors on a given response. In this study, shows the removal of PC from cocoa pod husks hydrolyzate, while preserving a considerable level of reducing sugar (RS). An Alkalinization from pH 11 with NaOH, then readjustment of pH to 6 with H2SO4 were first carried out, while eliminating 89.39% of PC and 13.41% of sugars. Then, an optimization of the activated carbon detoxification of the hydrolyzate was carried out by considering the contact time factors (X1), carbon to hydrolyzate ratio (X2) and the agitation speed (X3) in a Box-Behnken plan. The optimal conditions were 60 min of contact, a carbon to hydrolyzate ratio of 1.984% (w/v), and a stirring speed of 180 revolutions per minute (rpm). 0.153 mg/mL of PC and 6.585 mg/mL of RS remained in the hydrolyzate, corresponding to 95.18% of PC and 28.88% of RS lost.

Abstract
Chromium (Cr) is a naturally occurring, carcinogenic heavy metal that has become a pressing concern in recent decades for environmentalists. Due to high anthropogenic activities, the concentration of Cr has crossed the environmental threshold levels and consequently contaminated soil and water. The high solubility of Cr ions in the groundwater results in its high uptake by the plants leading to phytotoxicity and yield loss. The dearth of efficient and cost-effective treatment methods has resulted in massive chromium pollution. However, some phytoaccumulators capable of accumulating Cr in high amounts in their shoots and then performing their metabolic activity typically have been identified. Chromium bioremediation using phytoaccumulators is very contemplative due to its eco-friendly and cost-effective outcome. These accumulators possess several mechanisms, such as biosorption, reduction, efflux, or bioaccumulation, naturally or acquired to counter the toxicity of chromium. This review focuses on the detoxification mechanism of Cr by the phytoaccumulator species, their responses against Cr toxicity, and the scope for their application in bioremediation. Besides, Cr bioavailability, uptake, distribution, impairment of redox homeostasis, oxidative stress, and phytotoxicity imposed on the plants are also summarized. Further, the knowledge gap and prospects are also discussed to fill these gaps and overcome the problem associated with the real-time applicability of phytoaccumulator-based bioremediation.

Abstract
The constant use of the pesticide oxyfluorfen (OFF) in farmland contaminates the soil, posing threats to crop growth and human health. To avoid the contamination of food crops with OFF, it is critically important to understand its absorption and degradation mechanisms. In this study, we characterized a new functional locus encoding an acetyltransferase (OsACE2) that can facilitate OFF degradation in rice. OsACE2 was drastically induced by OFF at 0.04-0.2 mg L-1 for 6 days and the rice growth was significantly inhibited. To demonstrate the regulatory role of OsACE2 in resistance to OFF toxicity, we generated OsACE2 overexpression (OE) and knockout mutant using genetic transformation and gene-editing technologies (CRISPR/Cas9). The OE plants grown in the hydroponic medium showed improved growth (plant elongation and biomass), increased chlorophyll content, and reduced OFF-induced oxidative stress. The OsACE2-improved growth phenotypes of rice were attributed to the significantly lower OFF accumulation in OE plants. Conversely, knocking out OsACE2 resulted in compromised growth phenotypes compared to the wild-type (WT). Using LC-LTQ-HRMS/MS, five mono-metabolites and eleven conjugates of OFF were characterized through various canonical pathways, such as hydrolysis, oxidation, reduction, glycosylation, acetylation, malonylation, and interaction with amino acids. These metabolites increased in the OE plants, and five acetylated conjugates were reported for the first time. Collectively, OsACE2 plays a primary role in catabolizing OFF residues in rice through multiple degradation pathways and reducing OFF in its growth environment.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to identify the key glutathione S-transferase (GST) isozymes involved in the detoxification of Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in ducks' primary hepatocytes. The full-length cDNA encoding the 10 GST isozymes (GST, GST3, GSTM3, MGST1, MGST2, MGST3, GSTK1, GSTT1, GSTO1 and GSTZ1) were isolated/synthesized from ducks' liver and cloned into the pcDNA3.1(+) vector. The results showed that pcDNA3.1(+)-GSTs plasmids were successfully transferred into the ducks' primary hepatocytes and the mRNA of the 10 GST isozymes were overexpressed by 1.9-3274.7 times. Compared to the control, 75 μg/L (IC30) or 150 μg/L (IC50) AFB1 treatment reduced the cell viability by 30.0-50.0% and increased the LDH activity by 19.8-58.2% in the ducks' primary hepatocytes. Notably, the AFB1-induced changes in cell viability and LDH activity were mitigated by overexpression of GST and GST3. Compared to the cells treated with AFB1, exo-AFB1-8,9-epoxide (AFBO)-GSH, as the major detoxified product of AFB1, was increased in the cells overexpression of GST and GST3. Moreover, the sequences, phylogenetic and domain analysis revealed that the GST and GST3 were orthologous to Meleagris gallopavo GSTA3 and GSTA4. In conclusion, this study found that the ducks' GST and GST3 were orthologous to Meleagris gallopavo GSTA3 and GSTA4, which were involved in the detoxification of AFB1 in ducks' primary hepatocytes.

Abstract
There are many insect pests worldwide that damage agricultural crop and reduce yield either by direct feeding or by the transmission of plant diseases. To date, control of pest insects has been achieved largely by applying synthetic insecticides. However, insecticide use can be seriously impacted by legislation that limits their use or by the evolution of resistance in the target pest. Thus, there is a move towards less use of insecticides and increased adoption of integrated pest management strategies using a wide range of non-chemical and chemical control methods. For good pest control there is a need to understand the mode of action and selectivity of insecticides, the life cycles of the pests and their biology and behaviours, all of which can benefit from good quality genome data. Here we present the complete assembled (chromosome level) genomes (incl. mtDNA) of 19 insect pests, Agriotes lineatus (click beetle/wireworm), Aphis gossypii (melon/cotton aphid), Bemisia tabaci (cotton whitefly), Brassicogethes aeneus (pollen beetle), Ceutorhynchus obstrictus (seedpod weevil), Chilo suppressalis (striped rice stem borer), Chrysodeixis includens (soybean looper), Diabrotica balteata (cucumber beetle), Diatraea saccharalis (sugar cane borer), Nezara viridula (green stink bug), Nilaparvata lugens (brown plant hopper), Phaedon cochleariae (mustard beetle), Phyllotreta striolata (striped flea beetle), Psylliodes chrysocephala (cabbage stem flea beetle), Spodoptera exigua (beet army worm), Spodoptera littoralis (cotton leaf worm), Diabrotica virgifera (western corn root worm), Euschistus heros (brown stink bug) and Phyllotreta cruciferae (crucifer flea beetle). For the first 15 of these we also present the annotation of genes encoding potential xenobiotic detoxification enzymes. This public resource will aid in the elucidation and monitoring of resistance mechanisms, the development of highly selective chemistry and potential techniques to disrupt behaviour in a way that limits the effect of the pests.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Diet and parasitism can have powerful effects on host gene expression. However, how specific dietary components affect host gene expression that could feed back to affect parasitism is relatively unexplored in many wild species. Recently, it was discovered that consumption of sunflower (Helianthus annuus) pollen reduced severity of gut protozoan pathogen Crithidia bombi infection in Bombus impatiens bumble bees. Despite the dramatic and consistent medicinal effect of sunflower pollen, very little is known about the mechanism(s) underlying this effect. However, sunflower pollen extract increases rather than suppresses C. bombi growth in vitro, suggesting that sunflower pollen reduces C. bombi infection indirectly via changes in the host. Here, we analyzed whole transcriptomes of B. impatiens workers to characterize the physiological response to sunflower pollen consumption and C. bombi infection to isolate the mechanisms underlying the medicinal effect. B. impatiens workers were inoculated with either C. bombi cells (infected) or a sham control (un-infected) and fed either sunflower or wildflower pollen ad libitum. Whole abdominal gene expression profiles were then sequenced with Illumina NextSeq 500 technology. RESULTS Among infected bees, sunflower pollen upregulated immune transcripts, including the anti-microbial peptide hymenoptaecin, Toll receptors and serine proteases. In both infected and un-infected bees, sunflower pollen upregulated putative detoxification transcripts and transcripts associated with the repair and maintenance of gut epithelial cells. Among wildflower-fed bees, infected bees downregulated immune transcripts associated with phagocytosis and the phenoloxidase cascade. CONCLUSIONS Taken together, these results indicate dissimilar immune responses between sunflower- and wildflower-fed bumble bees infected with C. bombi, a response to physical damage to gut epithelial cells caused by sunflower pollen, and a strong detoxification response to sunflower pollen consumption. Identifying host responses that drive the medicinal effect of sunflower pollen in infected bumble bees may broaden our understanding of plant-pollinator interactions and provide opportunities for effective management of bee pathogens.
