Abstract
4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase inhibiting herbicides (HIHs) represent a recent class (HRAC group 27) of herbicides that offer many advantages, such as broad-spectrum activity, crop selectivity, and low resistance rates. However, emerging studies have highlighted the potential toxicity of HIHs in the environment. This review aims to provide a comprehensive summary of the toxicity of HIHs toward nontarget organisms, including plants, microorganisms, animals, and humans. Furthermore, the present work discusses the ecological roles of these organisms in the environment and their significance in agriculture. By shedding light on the toxicity of HIHs, this study seeks to raise awareness among end users, including environmentalists, researchers, and farmers, regarding the potential ecological implications of these herbicides. Hopefully, this knowledge can contribute to informed decision-making and sustainable practices in green agriculture and environmental management.

Abstract
The presence of undesired agrochemicals residues in soil and water poses risks to both human health and the environment. The behavior of pesticides in soil depends both on the physico-chemical properties of pesticides and soil type. This study examined the adsorption-desorption and leaching behavior of the maize herbicide tembotrione in soils of the upper (UGPZ), trans (TGPZ) and middle Gangetic plain zones of India. Soil samples were extracted using acetone followed by partitioning with dichloromethane, whereas liquid-liquid extraction using dichloromethane was used for aqueous samples. Residues of tembotrione and its metabolite TCMBA, {2-chloro-4-(methylsulfonyl)-3-[(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy) methyl] benzoic acid}, were quantified using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The data revealed that tembotrione adsorption decreased with increasing pH and dissolved organic matter but increased with salinity. The maximum adsorption occurred at pH 4, 0.01 m sodium citrate and 4 g/L NaCl, with corresponding Freundlich constants of 1.83, 2.28 and 3.32, respectively. The hysteresis index <1 indicated faster adsorption than desorption. Leaching studies under different flow conditions revealed least mobility in UGPZ soil and high mobility in TGPZ soil, consistent with groundwater ubiquity scores of 4.27 and 4.81, respectively. Soil amendments decreased tembotrione mobility in the order: unamended > wheat straw ash > wheat straw > farm yard manure > compost. The transformation of tembotrione to TCMBA and its mobility in soil columns were also assessed.

Abstract
Excessive pesticide use can harm human health, making it essential to develop new techniques to monitor hazardous pesticides in food. Our study focuses on detecting mesotrione (MST) using an unmodified boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode. This was the first application of cathodically pretreated BDD electrode for the detection of MST, based on its oxidation at a high potential value of +1.4 V. We theoretically examined the oxidation mechanism of MST trough the utilization of density functional theory (DFT) methodology. The utilized DPV method achieved a detection limit of 0.45 μM and showed satisfactory selectivity. The practical application of this method was demonstrated by examining corn-based food products. To ensure practical application of the method, MST was deliberately added to the samples to evaluate the accuracy of the proposed method. The effectiveness of the method was confirmed by using HPLC method. This environmentally-friendly approach can establish a solid foundation for future use in food analysis.

First Clarification of the Mechanism of Action of the Apple Glycosyltransferase MdUGT91AJ2 Involved in the Detoxification Metabolism of the Triketone Herbicide Sulcotrione. PLANTS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2024; 13:1796.

Abstract
Sulcotrione is a member of triketone herbicides, a class of HPPD (4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase) inhibitors with broad-spectrum herbicidal activity. Modifications of glycosylation mediated by glycosyltransferases (GT) are involved in plant detoxification. In this study, we analyzed chip data published online and found that eight glycosyltransferases from group A of the apple glycosyltransferase family 1 may be involved in the metabolic mechanism of detoxification of triketone herbicides. To verify this prediction, we induced apple seedlings with six types of triketone herbicides, and then detected the expression levels of eight glycosyltransferase genes through real-time PCR. We found that triketone herbicides induced up-regulation of eight glycosyltransferase genes to varying degrees, with MdUGT91AJ2 being the most significantly up-regulated by sulcotrione-induced glycosyltransferase gene expression. Then, through in vitro enzymatic reactions and HPLC identification of glycoside substrates, it was found that the glycosyltransferase MdUGT91AJ2 had the highest specific enzyme activity against the triketone herbicide sulcotrione. Furthermore, the in vivo mechanism of the glycosyltransferase MdUGT91AJ2 in the detoxification metabolism of sulcotrione was further validated by overexpressing the strain in the plant. HPLC analysis showed that the content of sulcotrione glycosides in the overexpressing strain of MdUGT91AJ2 was significantly higher than that in the wild type. This result indicated that the apple glycosyltransferase MdUGT91AJ2 can still glycosylate and modify sulfotrione in plants, and participate in its detoxification metabolism. In summary, this study identified for the first time a novel apple glycosyltransferase MdUGT91AJ2 and elucidated its mechanism of action in the detoxification and metabolism of the triketone herbicide sulfotriene.

Abstract
Mesotrione is a herbicide used in agricultural production; however, its stability and long-term residues pose ecological risks to soil health and subsequent crops. In this research, the strain Amycolatopsis nivea La24 was identified as capable of completely degrading 50 mg∙L-1 mesotrione within 48 h. It exhibited a broad adaptability to various environment and could degrade three sulfonylurea herbicides (nicosulfuron, chlorimuron-methyl, and cinosulfuron). Non-target metabonomic and mass spectrometry demonstrated that La24 strain broke down the mesotrione parent molecule by targeting the β-diketone bond and nitro group, resulting in the production of five possible degradation products. The differentially expressed genes were significantly enriched in fatty acid degradation, amino acid metabolism, and other pathways, and the differentially metabolites in glutathione metabolism, arginine/proline metabolism, cysteine/methionine metabolism, and other pathways. Additionally, it was confirmed by heterologous expression that nitroreductase was directly involved in the mesotrione degradation, and NDMA-dependent methanol dehydrogenase would increase the resistance to mesotrione. Finally, the intracellular response of La24 during mesotrione degradation was proposed. This work provides insight for a comprehensive understanding of the mesotrione biodegradation mechanism, significantly expands the resources for pollutant degradation, and offers the potential for a more sustainable solution to address herbicide pollution in soil.

The Influence of Mesotrione on Human Colorectal Adenocarcinoma Cells and Possibility of Its Toxicity Mitigation by Cichoric Acid. Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:5655.

Abstract
Mesotrione, as a widely used herbicide, is present in the environment in detectable amounts, causing serious damage. Here, we aimed to investigate the effect of mesotrione on Caco-2 cells and the possibility of its toxicity mitigation by cichoric acid. Therefore, we analyzed the cytotoxicity of both these compounds and the selected oxidative stress parameters, apoptosis and interaction of both the tested compounds with the cell membrane and their accumulation within the cells. In cytotoxicity studies, the stimulating activity of mesotrione was observed, and simultaneously, the inhibitory effect of cichoric acid was noticed. This effect was related to the results of oxidative stress analysis and apoptosis measurements. The activity level of key enzymes (glutathione peroxidase, catalase and superoxide dismutase) in Caco-2 cells exposed to cichoric acid was higher as compared to that of the control. The treatment with mesotrione did not induce apoptosis in the Caco-2 cells. The penetration of the studied compounds into the Caco-2 cells was measured by using an HPLC methodology, and the results indicate mesotrione's high penetration capacity. The distribution of charge on the surface of the cell membranes changed under the influence of both compounds. Considering the mutual interactions of beneficial and potentially toxic food ingredients, it should be noted that, despite the observed favorable trend, cichoric acid is not able to overcome the toxic and cancer-stimulating effects of this pesticide.

Abstract
Herbicides have been intensively used for weed control, raising concerns about their potentially adverse effects on non-target organisms. Research on the effects of these common agrochemicals on beneficial insects and the ecosystem services they provide (e.g., predation and pollination) is scarce. Therefore, we tested whether a commercial formulation comprising a mixture of mesotrione and atrazine was detrimental to adult females and larvae of the Neotropical predatory social wasp Polistes satan, which is an effective natural enemy of crop pests. Wasps were individually fed syrups contaminated with different concentrations of the herbicide above and below the maximum label rate (MLR = 12 mL/L). Survival was assessed. The locomotor activity, immune response, and midgut morphology of adults as well as the immune response of the larvae were also studied. Herbicide concentrations far above the MLR (12, 40, and 100 times) caused adult mortality, whereas lower concentrations (0.5, 1, and 6 times) did not. Herbicide exposure at 0.5 to 12 times the MLR increased adult activity. Adult exposure at 0.1 or 0.5 times the MLR did not affect melanotic encapsulation of foreign bodies but led to changes in the morphology of the midgut epithelium and peritrophic matrix. In larvae, the ingestion of herbicide at 0.1 or 0.2 times the MLR (corresponding to 9.6 and 19.2 ng of herbicide per individual) did not cause mortality but decreased their melanization-encapsulation response. Increased locomotor activity in herbicide-exposed adults can affect their foraging activity. The altered midgut morphology of adults coupled with the decreased immune response in larvae caused by herbicide exposure at realistic concentrations can increase the susceptibility of wasps to infections. Therefore, herbicides are toxic to predatory wasps.

Abstract
Alternative farming systems have developed since the beginning of industrial agriculture. Organic, biodynamic, conservation farming, agroecology and permaculture, all share a grounding in ecological concepts and a belief that farmers should work with nature rather than damage it. As ecology-based agricultures rely greatly on soil organisms to perform the functions necessary for agricultural production, it is thus important to evaluate the performance of these systems through the lens of soil organisms, especially soil microbes. They provide numerous services to plants, including growth promotion, nutrient supply, tolerance to environmental stresses and protection against pathogens. An overwhelming majority of studies confirm that ecology-based agricultures are beneficial for soil microorganisms. However, three practices were identified as posing potential ecotoxicological risks: the recycling of organic waste products, plastic mulching, and pest and disease management with biopesticides. The first two because they can be a source of contaminants; the third because of potential impacts on non-target microorganisms. Consequently, developing strategies to allow a safe recycling of the increasingly growing organic matter stocks produced in cities and factories, and the assessment of the ecotoxicological impact of biopesticides on non-target soil microorganisms, represent two challenges that ecology-based agricultural systems will have to face in the future.

Abstract
Tembotrione (TBT) is a β-triketone herbicide targeting the 4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase enzyme (4-HPPD) of weeds. This molecule can also affect soil microorganisms, either through both direct and indirect toxic effects for microorganisms expressing 4-HPPD, or by promoting tolerant and/or degrading microbial populations. Our study aimed to characterize the impacts of TBT on the diversity of total- and hppd (coding for 4-HPPD) -soil bacterial communities. Soil microcosms were treated with the active ingredient TBT at the recommended field dose (100 g a.i/ha; D1) or the tenfold dose (D10). Soil samples were collected from 0 to 55 days post-treatment to study: (i) total- and hppd-bacterial diversities using 16SrRNA and hppd amplicons sequencing, respectively; (ii) TBT dissipation in soil. Both total- and hppd-bacterial community composition was not affected by TBT treatments (D1 and D10). However, D10 treatment slightly increased richness and phylogenetic diversity of the total bacterial community while decreasing hppd richness. Overall, the highest dose of TBT seemed to promote TBT-tolerant or TBT-degrading bacterial populations and to deplete TBT-sensitive ones. These effects were transient as TBT was rapidly dissipated with a DT50 of 7 days and 15 days for D1 and D10, respectively. Differential abundance analysis with a Generalized Linear Model allowed the identification of Sphingomonas, Steroidobacter and Lysobacter as genus that were influenced by TBT, and which could be used as a new class of exposure biomarkers.

Abstract
4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase inhibitors (Echinochloa crus-galli 1.13.11.27, HPPD) have gained significant popularity as one of the best-selling herbicides worldwide. To identify highly effective HPPD inhibitors, a rational design approach utilizing bioisosterism was employed to create a series of 2-(arylformyl)cyclohexane-1,3-dione derivatives. A total of 29 novel compounds were synthesized and characterized through various techniques, including IR, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and HRMS. Evaluation of their inhibitory activity against Arabidopsis thaliana HPPD (AtHPPD) revealed that certain derivatives exhibited superior potency compared to mesotrione (IC50 = 0.204 μM). Initial herbicidal activity tests demonstrated that compounds 27 and 28 were comparable to mesotrione in terms of weed control and crop safety, with compound 28 exhibiting enhanced safety in canola crops. Molecular docking analyses indicated that the quinoline rings of compounds 27 and 28 formed more stable π-π interactions with the amino acid residues Phe-360 and Phe-403 in the active cavity of AtHPPD, surpassing the benzene ring of mesotrione. Molecular dynamics simulations and molecular structure comparisons confirmed the robust binding capabilities of compounds 27 and 28 to AtHPPD. This study provides a valuable reference for the development of novel triketone herbicide structures, serving as a blueprint for future advancements in this field.

Abstract
β-triketone herbicides have been efficiently employed as an alternate to atrazine. Triketones are 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) enzyme inhibitors and exposure is reported to cause significant increase in plasma tyrosine levels. In this study, we have employed a non-target organism Caenorhabditis elegans to determine the impact of β-triketone exposures at recommended field doses (RfD). Our results indicate sulcotrione and mesotrione, negatively influence the survival, behavior, and reproduction of the organism at RfD. Additionally, we have traced the parallels regarding the impact of triketones on the tyrosine metabolism pathway, in C. elegans to those in mammalian models, wherein the expression of the tyrosine metabolism pathway genes are altered, directly influencing tyrosine catabolism leading to significant tyrosine accumulation in exposed organism. Further, we investigated the impact of sulcotrione and mesotrione exposure on fat deposition (triglyceride levels, Oil-Red-O staining and lipidomics) and the fatty acid metabolism pathway. In the exposed worms, the expression of enlongases and fatty acid desaturases were up-regulated along with an increase in the levels of triglycerides. Thus, the data indicates a positive association of β-triketone exposure to mis-regulation of the fatty acid metabolism pathway genes leading to fat accumulation in worms. Therefore, β-triketone might be a potential obesogen.

Abstract
Cypyrafluone, a novel hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD)-inhibiting herbicide, can successfully control a wide species of grass and broadleaf weed in wheat fields. However, the dissipation behaviors and terminal residues of cypyrafluone in wheat fields remain unclear. Here, a simple, accurate, and dependable approach for the analysis of cypyrafluone in soil, wheat plant, and grain was constructed utilizing an adapted QuEChERS extraction combined with UPLC-MS/MS. For accurate quantification, matrix-matched calibrations with high linearity (R2 >0.99) were employed to eliminate matrix interference. The method possessed high accuracy with recoveries in the range of 85.5%- 100.6% and precision with relative standard deviations < 14.3%, as well as high sensitivity with limits of quantifications of 0.001 mg kg-1 in the three matrixes. The dissipation kinetics and terminal residues of cypyrafluone were determined at two separate locations with different climates, soil types and cropping systems in 2018. The half-lives of cypyrafluone in soil and wheat plant were 1.47-1.55 d and 1.00-1.03 d, respectively. At harvest, the terminal residue values of cypyrafluone detected in wheat plants were 0-0.0025 mg kg-1 and 0.0044-0.0057 mg kg-1 at the recommended dose and 1.5 times of the recommended dose, respectively, and 0.0049 mg kg-1 of this herbicide was detected in grain at 1.5 times of the recommended dose, which was below the maximum residue limit (MRL). Finally, the risk quotient for cypyrafluone ranged from 0.33% to 0.81% (<1) for different age groups in China, indicating that the impact of residues from the cypyrafluone application on wheat was acceptable. These findings above will offer scientific guidelines for cypyrafluone application in the wheat field ecosystem.

Abstract
Tembotrione is a new triketone HPPD herbicide widely used in Europe, USA, and other areas. However, tembotrione is moderately to highly toxic to algae and daphnia in aquatic ecosystems. In this study, hydrolysis, photolysis, soil degradation, soil adsorption, and bioaccumulation of tembotrione were systematically studied. Hydrolysis experiment revealed that tembotrione was stable in acidic, neutral, and alkaline conditions with half-lives of 231-289 days. The photolysis half-lives of tembotrione were 112-158 days and 76-107 days in pH 4, 7, 9 buffer solutions and on three soils surface, respectively, which demonstrated that tembotrione could be persisted in soil and water. Meanwhile, tembotrione Kfoc was 128-196 mL/g, indicating that tembotrione was not easily adsorbed to soil, and the adsorption capacity increased with the decrease in pH. The half-lives of tembotrione in the test soil were 32-48 days, and high organic matter soil is conducive to microbial activity and accelerates the degradation of tembotrione. Moreover, bioaccumulation experiment demonstrated that tembotrione with a BCF of 0.664 to 0.724 had a low risk of exposure to zebrafish. This study is very helpful for the evaluation environmental risk and safe use of tembotrione.

Abstract
4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) is the molecular target of β-triketone herbicides in plants. This enzyme, involved in the tyrosine pathway, is also present in a wide range of living organisms, including microorganisms. Previous studies, focusing on a few strains and using high herbicide concentrations, showed that β-triketones are able to inhibit microbial HPPD. Here, we measured the effect of agronomical doses of β-triketone herbicides on soil bacterial strains. The HPPD activity of six bacterial strains was tested with 1× or 10× the recommended field dose of the herbicide sulcotrione. The selected strains were tested with 0.01× to 15× the recommended field dose of sulcotrione, mesotrione, and tembotrione. Molecular docking was also used to measure and model the binding mode of the three herbicides with the different bacterial HPPD. Our results show that responses to herbicides are strain-dependent with Pseudomonas fluorescens F113 HPPD activity not inhibited by any of the herbicide tested, when all three β-triketone herbicides inhibited HPPD in Bacillus cereus ATCC14579 and Shewanella oneidensis MR-1. These responses are also molecule-dependent with tembotrione harboring the strongest inhibitory effect. Molecular docking also reveals different binding potentials. This is the first time that the inhibitory effect of β-triketone herbicides is tested on environmental strains at agronomical doses, showing a potential effect of these molecules on the HPPD enzymatic activity of non-target microorganisms. The whole-cell assay developed in this study, coupled with molecular docking analysis, appears as an interesting way to have a first idea of the effect of herbicides on microbial communities, prior to setting up microcosm or even field experiments. This methodology could then largely be applied to other family of pesticides also targeting an enzyme present in microorganisms.

Abstract
Nitisinone (NTBC) is currently used for the treatment of tyrosinemia type 1, a rare disease. It also exhibits potential in the treatment of other orphan diseases as well as nervous system disorders - this is however limited by its side effects. In all living organisms, NTBC inhibits 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase activity, thereby affecting l-tyrosine (L-TYR) catabolism, which results in the therapeutic effect. The NTBC metabolites formed in patient's body is one of the causes of its side effects. The influence of NTBC and its metabolites; 2-amino-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid, 2-nitro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid, and cyclohexane-1,3-dione on L-TYR catabolism was investigated in Raphanus sativus var. longipinnatus. Based on targeted LC-MS/MS analysis the concentration of NTBC and its metabolites in exposed plant tissues was determined. Based on non-targeted LC-MS/MS analysis the concentrations of products of L-TYR catabolism: levodopa, epinephrine, norepinephrine, normetanephrine, dopamine, tyramine and vitamins C, B5 and B6, additionally leucine and valine were identified as influenced by the NTBC or its metabolites. NTBC and its metabolites influenced L-TYR catabolism differently. Particularly significant changes were found in the content of epinephrine and normetanephrine: in the plant tissues exposed to NTBC, an increase in the content of these neurotransmitters was found (+42%), whereas in the plant treated with 2-amino-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid or 2-nitro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid a decrease in concentration (-39% and 55%, respectively) was observed. Cyclohexane-1,3-dione does not influence epinephrine and normetanephrine concentration. The conclusions of this study provide a platform for expanded research on the causes of side effects of NTBC treatment.

Abstract
This study sheds light on the occurrence of emerging pesticides and their transformation products (TPs) in an urban river in Beijing that is mainly supplemented with treated wastewater. To this end, suspect and non-target screening was conducted using a database of 557 commercial pesticides and over 1400 predicted TPs. Finally, 30 pesticides and 20 TPs were identified, with 12 pesticides and 10 TPs detected in all samples. Eleven pesticides and 17 TPs were detected in Beijing for the first time. Among these, 18 compounds were confirmed using authentic standards. Concentrations of the confirmed and suspected compounds were determined by quantification and semi-quantification, respectively, based on 18 authentic standards. Fungicides and their TPs constituted the largest group and exhibited the highest total concentration (26 compounds; 52.2 μg/L), followed by insecticides (14 compounds; 51.3 μg/L) and herbicides (10 compounds; 24.5 μg/L). DEET, carbendazim, prometryn, ω-carboxylic acid, 2-aminobenzimidazole, metolachlor TP, hexaconazole TP, metalaxyl TP, and azoxystrobin TP exhibited relatively high mean concentration (>100 ng/L). Among the 20 TPs, approximately 65% showed higher concentrations than their parent compounds. Correlation analysis revealed that 6 pesticides and 10 TPs in the river were mainly contributed by the discharge from a wastewater treatment plant. Although a majority of the emerging pesticides had low toxicity, 10 pesticides exhibited high risks to aquatic systems, especially invertebrates.

Abstract
The application of phenylurea herbicides (PUHs) may lead to the extensive distribution in soils, while the role of straw biochar as a soil amendment on the transport and sorption of PUHs are still unclear. Thus, the transport and sorption behavior of three typical PUHs with rice straw biochar (RSB) was studied in both adsorption simulation experiments of aqueous solution and packed column experiments. The sorption mechanism of RSB to herbicides was investigated through batch sorption studies with three influencing factors including dosage of RSB, pH, and ionic strength (IS) with orthogonal test. The sorption coefficients were improved significantly by increasing the dosage of RSB, while there was no obvious influence by enhancing the pH and IS value. The optimal sorption conditions (pH value at 3, IS at 0.1 M, and RSB dosage at 60 mg) of three herbicides were set and the maximum removal rates of Monuron, Diuron, and Linuron were 41.9%, 25%, and 56.8%, respectively. The co-transport process of RSB and PUHs were investigated under different RSB dosage, pH value, and IS value. The retention effect increased greatly with enhancing the RSB dosage and pH value. However, IS did not have a significant influence on the retention of RSB, and therefore it had little effect on the adsorption capacity, which was consistent with the results of sorption experiments. The breakthrough curves (BTCs) for co-transport were well simulated by the two-site non-equilibrium convection-dispersion equation (CDE). Most of the regression coefficients (R2) were above 0.99, which uncovered the co-transport in packed column were affected by physical absorption and chemical forces. According to the fitting parameters analysis, the RSB particles and PUHs were subjected to a greater resistance and a stronger stability by reducing pH value in porous media. The presence of RSB increased the amount of dynamic sorption sites in the entire co-transport system, which led to a significant promotion of the PUHs' sorption and interception.

Abstract
Isoxazole, nicotinic acid and benzoic acid are important components in many natural products and useful synthons to build macrostructures having valuable biological activities. In continuation of our effort to discover 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD, EC 1.13.11.27) inhibitors and search for active fragments from natural products, a series of substituted aryl-formyl piperidinone derivatives with natural product fragments was rationally designed, synthesized and tested for their herbicidal activity. Compound I-9 was considered the most effective candidate with an IC50 value of 0.260 μM. The molecular docking results showed that the triketone group of compound I-9 forms a bidentate complex with a metal ion, and the benzene ring interacted with Phe424 and Phe381 via π-π stacking, which was similar to the mechanisms of mesotrione. The present work indicates that compound I-9 may serve as a potential lead compound for further development of green HPPD inhibitors.

Abstract
A mixture of Mesotrione and Atrazine (Calaris®) has been reported as an improvement of the atrazine herbicides, which are agrochemicals used for weed control. However, its possible harmful effects on non-target organisms, including pollinators, needs to be better understood. In this work, the effects of the mix of herbicides on food consumption, behaviour (walking distance, and meandering), and the morphology of the midgut of the stingless bee Partamona helleri were studied. Foragers were orally exposed to different concentrations of the mix. The concentrations leading to 10% and 50% mortality (LC10 and LC50, respectively) were estimated and used in the analysis of behaviour and morphology. The ingestion of contaminated diets (50% aqueous sucrose solution + mix) led to a reduction in food consumption by the bees when compared to the control, bees fed a non-contaminated diet (sucrose solution). Ingestion of the LC50 diet reduced locomotor activity, increased meandering, induced the degradation of the epithelium and peritrophic matrix, and also changed the number of cells positive for signalling-pathway proteins in the midgut. These results show the potential toxicological effects and environmental impacts of the mix of herbicides in beneficial insects, including a native bee.

Abstract
Mesotrione (MTR) is a highly effective pesticide widely used for weeding in farmland. Overload of MTR in agricultural soils may result in environmental problems. To evaluate the potential contamination of MTR in environments, a better understanding of the MTR degradation process and mechanisms in crops is required. This study investigated the impact of MTR on growth and toxicological responses in rice (Oryza sativa). The growth of rice tissues was significantly compromised with increasing MTR concentrations. RNA-sequencing combined with HRLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS analysis identified many transcriptional components responsible for MTR degradation. Four libraries composed of root and shoot tissues exposed to MTR were RNA-sequenced in biological triplicate. Compared to -MTR, treatment with environmentally realistic MTR concentration upregulated 1995 genes in roots and 326 genes in shoots. Gene enrichment revealed many MTR-degradative enzymes functioning in resistance to environmental stress and molecular metabolism of xenobiotics. Specifically, many differentially expressed genes are critical enzymes like cytochrome P450, glycosyltransferases, methyltransferase, glutathione S-transferases and acetyltransferase involved in the process. To evidence MTR degradative metabolisms, HRLC-Q-TOF-MS/MS was used to characterize eight metabolites and five conjugates in the pathways involving hydrolysis, reduction, glycosylation, methylation or acetylation. The precise association between the specific MTR-degraded products and enhanced activities of its corresponding enzymes was established. This study advanced our understanding of the detailed MTR degradative mechanisms and pathways, which may help engineer genotypes to facilitate MTR degradation in the paddy crop.

Abstract
4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvatedioxygenase (HPPD) is a Fe(II)/Co(II)-dependent enzyme which has become one of the most effective herbicide targets. HPPD inhibitors have been developed as efficient herbicides for resistant weed control. Developing a method for efficient and rapid HPPD inhibitors detection is still challenging. N-n-butyl-4-methylhydrazinecarbothioamide-1,8-naphthalimide (NMN) was synthesized and used to detect Co2+ efficiently with the limit of detection (LOD) of 7.82 nM with a turn-on fluorescence. Herein a novel fluorescent complex, NMN‒Co2+ was employed to determine HPPD inhibitors which performed a turn-off effect in the sensing process based on the competitive coordination between the probe and HPPD with Co2+. The LODs for three commercial triketone HPPD inhibitors (mesotrione, tembotrione and NTBC) were 6.60 nM, 7.37 nM and 10.22 nM with good sensitivity and selectivity. Furthermore, the present probe has potentials to quantitatively detect mesotrione and tembotrione in real samples.

Abstract
Benfuresate (2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethylbenzofuran-5-yl ethanesulphonate) is a widely used pre-emergence herbicide of the benzofurane group, which works through the inhibition of lipid synthesis. During embryonic development of zebrafish, benfuresate retards growth while causing internal changes in the body, including alteration of the expression of cell cycle regulators, induction of apoptosis, and suppression of the circulatory system. Acute toxicity towards benfuresate is seen across the range of 5-15 μM in a dose-dependent manner and contributes to pathological conditions and subsequent morphological changes. For embryos 120 h post fertilization (hpf), benfuresate exposure results in an array of malformations involving eye or otolith development, pericardial edema, yolk sac edema, and abnormal curvature of the spine. Mechanistically, benfuresate exposure altered the transcription levels of the proliferative pathway genes ccnd1, ccne1, cdk2, and cdk6, all of which sensitize cells to apoptosis. Benfuresate exposure also affected vascular formation, including the formation of various vessels (DA, SIVs, CA, CV) whose functions in lymphatic-blood circulation were disrupted following decreased vegfaa, vegfc, flt1, flt4, and kdrl expression. These findings provide evidence of embryo-larval toxicity due to benfuresate and highlight the perils of herbicide exposure for non-target organisms far removed from application sites, especially in aquatic environments.

Abstract
Pharmaceuticals and pesticides are emerging contaminants problematic in the aquatic environment because of their adverse effects on aquatic life and humans. In order to remove them from water, photocatalysis is one of the most modern technologies to be used. First, newly synthesized photocatalysts were successfully prepared using a sol-gel method and characterized by different techniques (XRD, FTIR, UV/Vis, BET and SEM/EDX). The photocatalytic properties of TiO2, ZnO and MgO nanoparticles were examined according to their removal from water for two antibiotics (ciprofloxacin and ceftriaxone) and two herbicides (tembotrione and fluroxypyr) exposed to UV/simulated sunlight (SS). TiO2 proved to be the most efficient nanopowder under UV and SS. Addition of (NH4)2S2O8 led to the faster removal of both antibiotics and herbicide fluroxypyr. The main intermediates were separated and identified for the herbicides and antibiotic ciprofloxacin. Finally, the toxicity of each emerging pollutant mixture and formed intermediates was assessed on wheat germination and biomass production.

Abstract
Tembotrione is a triketone group herbicide having worldwide applications for weed management in maize. It is considered to be less stable in the environment and its degradation products may have toxicological consequences due to longer persistence and off-site movements. We studied the persistence behavior and leaching potential of tembotrione and its major metabolite TCMBA in clay loam and sandy loam soils having different physico-chemical properties. The rapid transformation of parent tembotrione to degradation products and their high interactions with soil provided challenging task of residues separation from complex soil matrix. Therefore, a novel sample preparation method (modified QuEChERS) was optimized for trace estimation of tembotrione and TCMBA which offered 86.6-95.6% recoveries with limit of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) as 0.001 and 0.003 μg/g, respectively in both soils without any matrix interference. A first order dissipation kinetics was followed by tembotrione and TCMBA residues with half-life ranged from 7.2 to 13.4 days in both soils. Residues reached below detectable limit on 45-60 days after treatments in two application doses. Leaching experiment revealed maximum retention of tembotrione residues from 15 to 25 cm depth in both soils whereas TCMBA show appreciable leaching potential. It was concluded that tembotrione can be phytotoxic to the succeeding crops if applied at late post-emergence stage. TCMBA can contaminate surface and ground water due to continuous and prolonged use of tembotrione particularly in light textured soils.

Abstract
Tembotrione is a rather novel pesticide, usually used for post-emergence weed control. Even though its use is rapidly growing, it is not followed by an adequate flow of scientific evidence regarding its toxicity towards non-target organisms. We evaluated the potential of low doses of tembotrione to induce oxidative stress and cytogenetic damage in blood and brain cells of adult male Wistar rats. Parameters of lipid peroxidation, glutathione levels, activities of antioxidant enzymes and primary DNA damage were assessed following 28-day repeated oral exposure to doses comparable with the currently proposed health-based reference values. The results of the alkaline comet assay showed that such low doses of tembotrione have the potency to inflict primary DNA damage in both peripheral blood leukocytes and brain of treated rats, even with only slight changes in the oxidative biomarker levels. The DNA damage in blood and brain cells of Wistar rats significantly increased at all applied doses, suggesting that tembotrione genotoxicity is mainly a result of direct interaction with DNA while the induction of oxidative stress responses contributes to DNA instability in a lesser extent. The findings of the present study call for further research using other sensitive biomarkers of effect and different exposure scenarios.

Abstract
The influence of pesticides on the metabolism of edible plants has not been fully investigated. Moreover, once introduced into the environment, pesticides are degraded to many compounds with undefined bioactivity. In presented work, under experimental conditions, model edible plant (Raphanus sativus var. longipinnatus) was exposed to herbicide stress by application of a herbicide (mesotrione, 2-(4-methanesulfonyl-2-nitrobenzoyl)cyclohexane-1,3-dione, MES) or its degradation products (amino-4-(methylsulfonyl)benzoic acid, AMBA; 4-(methylsulfonyl)-2-nitrobenzoic acid MNBA; cyclohexane-1,3-dione, CHD). Metabolic profiles of plants were employed to estimate the plant's defence response to MES and its metabolites. The intensity of herbicide stress was determined by measuring the changes in chlorophyll and catecholamines concentration formed in the shikimic acid pathway. Non-target analysis was conducted by LC-MS/MS, determination of catecholamines by LC-FL, chlorophyll by spectrophotometry. The highest phytotoxicity is characterized by MES (2000%-fold increase in the content of herbicide stress marker (normetanephrine) compared to a blank), followed by CHD (500%) combined with 15% increase in chlorophyll concentration. AMBA and MNBA as stress factors caused the increase in the content of catecholamines in the plant (86-160%). Simultaneously, an increase in chlorophyll content was observed (26-50%). Such diversity of the organism's defence response, also visible on metabolic profiles, can be associated with the chemical structure of compounds that are stress factors. MES and CHD, in contrast to AMBA and MNBA, have cyclohexano-1,3-moiety in their structure, which seems to be responsible for herbicidal properties.

Abstract
The dissipation and residues of tembotrione in corn field application were investigated using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method. The average recoveries of tembotrione in maize, corncob, and straw were in the ranges of 98-107% with relative standard deviations (RSDs ≤9.3%), respectively. The recoveries of M5 was in the ranges of 90-108% in all three matrices of maize, with RSDs were 3.3-12.8%. The LODs for tembotrione and M5 in maize were 0.85 μg/L and 1.0 μg/L, 0.84 μg/L and 0.43 μg/L in corncob, 0.94 μg/L and 1.5 μg/L in straw, respectively. The LOQs of the method in maize grain, corncob and straw were 0.01, 0.01 and 0.05 mg/kg for both analytes, respectively. The dissipation of tembotrione in straw was in compliance with the first-order dynamic equation, with half-lives of 1.18-1.23 days at Beijing and Heilongjiang. Total residue of tembotrione in maize grain and corncob matrix were both below 0.02 mg/kg, lower than the max residue limit (MRL) recommended by european food safety authority (EFSA). Risk quotients (RQs) of this pesticide was assessed via comparing national estimated daily intake with acceptable daily intake. The dietary intake risk of tembotrione residue in maize was very low for all groups of Chinese residents. These data could provide scientific data and strategies and facilitate Chinese government to establish the MRLs of tembotrione.

Fonseca E, Renau-Pruñonosa A, Ibáñez M, Gracia-Lor E, Estrela T, Jiménez S, Pérez-Martín MÁ, González F, Hernández F, Morell I. Investigation of pesticides and their transformation products in the Júcar River Hydrographical Basin (Spain) by wide-scope high-resolution mass spectrometry screening. ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2019; 177:108570. [PMID: 31325630 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2019.108570] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/13/2019] [Revised: 06/07/2019] [Accepted: 07/01/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
The Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC implemented by the European Union established as the main objectives to achieve a "good ecological and chemical status" of the surface water and a "good quantitative and chemical status" of groundwater bodies. One of the major pressures affecting water bodies comes from the use of pesticides and their potential presence in the water ecosystems. For this purpose, the reliable determination of pesticides and their transformation products (TPs) in natural waters (both surface and groundwater) is required. The high number of compounds potentially reaching the aquatic environment makes extraordinary difficult, if not impossible, to investigate all these compounds even using the most powerful analytical techniques. Among these, liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry is emphasized due to its strong potential for detection and identification of many organic contaminants thanks to the accurate-mass full spectrum acquisition data. This work focuses on wide-scope screening of many pesticides and their TPs in surface water and groundwater samples, collected between March and May 2017, in the Júcar River Hydrographical Basin, Spain. For this purpose, a home-made database containing more than 500 pesticides and TPs was employed. Analyses performed by liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole-time of flight mass spectrometry (LC-QTOF MS) allowed the identification of up to 27 pesticides and 6 TPs. The most detected compounds in groundwater were the herbicides atrazine, simazine, terbuthylazine, and their TPs (atrazine-desethyl, terbumeton-desethyl and terbuthylazine-desethyl). Regarding surface water, the fungicides carbendazim, thiabendazole and imazalil, the herbicide terbutryn and the TP terbumeton-desethyl were also detected. These results illustrate the wide use of these compounds (in the present or in the recent past) in the area under study and the vulnerability of the water bodies, and are in accordance with previous findings in other water bodies of the different Spanish Hydrographic systems.

Abstract
Conventional agriculture still relies on the general use of agrochemicals (herbicides, fungicides and insecticides) to control various pests (weeds, fungal pathogens and insects), to ensure the yield of crop and to feed a constantly growing population. The generalized use of pesticides in agriculture leads to the contamination of soil and other connected environmental resources. The persistence of pesticide residues in soil is identified as a major threat for in-soil living organisms that are supporting an important number of ecosystem services. Although authorities released pesticides on the market only after their careful and thorough evaluation, the risk assessment for in-soil living organisms is unsatisfactory, particularly for microorganisms for which pesticide toxicity is solely considered by one global test measuring N mineralization. Recently, European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) underlined the lack of standardized methods to assess pesticide ecotoxicological effects on soil microorganisms. Within this context, there is an obvious need to develop innovative microbial markers sensitive to pesticide exposure. Biomarkers that reveal direct effects of pesticides on microorganisms are often viewed as the panacea. Such biomarkers can only be developed for pesticides having a mode of action inhibiting a specific enzyme not only found in the targeted organisms but also in microorganisms which are considered as "non-target organisms" by current regulations. This review explores possible ways of innovation to develop such biomarkers for herbicides. We scanned the herbicide classification by considering the mode of action, the targeted enzyme and the ecotoxicological effects of each class of active substance in order to identify those that can be tracked using sensitive microbial markers.

Abstract
This study investigated the environmental fate of myrigalone A, a light absorbing natural herbicide found on leaves and fruits of Myrica gale. Myrigalone A was irradiated in water and as a dry solid deposit to simulate reactions on leaves, alone and in the presence of the terpenes generated by Myrica gale. The phototransformation was fast ( t1/2 = 35 min in water). Analyses by liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution orbitrap electrospray mass spectrometry (MS) and gas chromatography-MS revealed the formation of 11 photoproducts in water and solid and 9 in gaseous phase. Some were detected in the leaf glands and oil covering the fruits of Myrica gale, which suggested that photodegradation occurred in the field. Moreover, myrigalone A photoinduced the oxidation of terpenes that in turn protected it against photolysis. This highlights the need for additional research on the effect of terpenes on the photodegradation of pesticides on vegetation.

Abstract
The aim of the present work is to estimate remediation potential of Pistia stratiotes, its ability to uptake mesotrione (MES) - one of the most frequently used herbicides, and its main degradation products: 2-amino-4-methylsulfonyl benzoic acid (AMBA) and 4-methylsulfonyl-2-nitrobenzoic acid (MNBA). This research focuses on model experiments performed under laboratory conditions. The results show that Pistia stratiotes can uptake up to 75% of degradation products from 1 L of surface water samples polluted with 0.4 µg/L of each analyte during 7 days without significant phytotoxic effect. Under the same experimental conditions, the effectiveness of mesotrione sorption is in the range of 42-58%. The phytotoxicity of this compound is higher in comparison to its degradation products (decrease of chlorophyll concentration in plant tissues exposed to MES 27-32% vs 4-13% in case of exposition to AMBA and MNBA). The adequate nutrition of the plants is crucial to their well-being and thus the sorption of pollutants.

Abstract
Nitisinone (2-(2-nitro-4-trifluoromethylbenzoyl)-1,3-cyclohexanedione, NTBC) was the first synthetically produced triketone herbicide. However, its unsatisfactory herbicidal properties, negative impact on the natural environment and the high cost of synthesis have hindered its commercialization as a plant protection agent. Nevertheless, NTBC has become the medical treatment of choice for a rare hereditary metabolic disease -hepatorenal tyrosinemia. Literature review shows that most research on nitisinone focuses on its medical applications, while there are neither in-depth studies of its stability nor its degradation pathways. Therefore, the aim of our study was to employ liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to determine the stability of NTBC in different experimental conditions (pH of solution, temperature, time of incubation, ultraviolet radiation), identify its degradation products and determine the stability of the latter. Electrospray ionization (ESI) in the negative ion mode was used as an ionization method and the analytes were detected by multiple reaction monitoring. We show that nitisinone stability increases with increasing pH of the solution. At pH similar to that of gastric juice in the human stomach, two major products of NTBC degradation are formed: 2-amino-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid (ATFA) and 2-nitro-4-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid (NTFA), which show considerable stability under studied conditions. The results of these studies shed new light on the properties of NTBC, therefore contributing to better understanding of possible risks and benefits of its medical application.

Abstract
Volatile organic compounds (VOC) produced by microorganisms in response to chemical stressor showed recently increasing attention, because of possible environmental applications. In this work, we aimed to bring the first proof of concept that volatolomic (i.e., VOCs analysis) can be used to determine candidate VOC markers of two soil bacteria strains (Pseudomonas fluorescens SG-1 and Bacillus megaterium Mes11) exposure to pesticides. VOC determination was based on solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Accordingly, we highlighted a set of bacterial VOCs modulated in each strains according to the nature of the pesticide used. Three out these VOCs were specifically modulated in P. fluorescens SG-1 when exposed with two pyrethroid pesticides (deltamethrine and cypermethrine): 2-hexanone; 1,3-ditertbutylbenzene and malonic acid, hexyl 3-methylbutyl ester. Our results thus suggest the possible existence of generic VOC markers of pyrethroids in this strain. Of particular interest, two out of these three VOCs, the 1,3-ditertbutylbenzene and the malonic acid, hexyl 3-methylbutyl ester were found also in B. megaterium Mes11 when exposed with cypermethrine. This result highlighted the possible existence of interspecific VOC markers of pyrethroid in these two bacteria. Altogether, our work underlined the relevance of volatolomic to detect signatures of pesticides exposure in microorganisms and more generally to microbial ecotoxicology. Based on these first results, considerations of volatolomics for the chemical risk assessment in environment such as soils can be indirectly explored in longer terms.

Abstract
Earthworms are exposed to herbicides both through their skin and digestive system. Herbicides can influence earthworms' survival, physiology and reproduction. However, there is a lack of data on herbicide effects on earthworms as they are often regarded as low or non-toxic. The aim of our study was to investigate whether widely used commercial formulations of glyphosate (GLF), tembotrione (TBT) and nicosulfuron (NCS) each applied at three environmentally relevant concentrations have adverse effects on various biomarkers and reproduction in epigeic earthworm Dendrobaena veneta. The activities of measured biomarkers varied depending on the herbicide used and the exposure duration and suggest that oxidative stress plays an important role in the toxicity of tested herbicides. Namely, GLF caused an acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity induction after seven days, and NCS after 28 days, while TBT caused an inhibition up to 47% (6.6 μg kgdw soil-1) after seven days. Only TBT caused a significant change (H2 = 13.96, p = 0.002) to catalase (CAT) after seven days of exposure. Malondialdehyde concentrations (MDA) were increased all the time after NCS exposure, but only after seven days in GLF and 28 days in TBT treatments, respectively. The tested herbicides did not have a significant effect on reproduction success, expect of NCS which increased the number of juveniles (p < 0.05).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Resistance to the 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD)-inhibiting herbicide tembotrione in an Amaranthus palmeri population from Nebraska (NER) has previously been confirmed to be attributable to enhanced metabolism. The objective of this study was to identify and quantify the metabolites formed in Nebraska susceptible (NES) and resistant (NER) biotypes. RESULTS NER and NES formed the same metabolites. Tembotrione metabolism in NER differed from that in NES in that resistant plants showed faster 4-hydroxylation followed by glycosylation. The T50 value (time for 50% production of the maximum 4-hydroxylation product) was 4.9 and 11.9 h for NER and NES, respectively. This process is typically catalyzed by cytochrome P450 enzymes. Metabolism differences between NER and NES were most prominent under 28 °C conditions and herbicide application at the four-leaf stage. CONCLUSION Further research with the aim of identifying the gene or genes responsible for conferring metabolic resistance to HPPD inhibitors should focus on cytochrome P450s. Such research is important because non-target-site-based resistance (NTSR) poses the threat of cross resistance to other chemical classes of HPPD inhibitors, other herbicide modes of action, or even unknown herbicides. © 2017 Society of Chemical Industry.

Abstract
Certain agricultural practices, such as the repeated application of herbicides or organic amendments to soil, can influence herbicide dissipation. This research has studied the effects of two repeated applications of mesotrione, pethoxamid, and triasulfuron on their dissipation rates in unamended soil (S) and soil amended with green compost (S+GC) or sewage sludge (S+SS). The dissipation experiment has also included an evaluation of the adsorption of the three herbicides by soils and of changes in soil dehydrogenase activity (DHA). The adsorption of the three herbicides by amended soils (Kf range 0.83-2.98) was higher than by unamended soil (Kf range 0.20-0.64). The adsorption coefficients (Kd) of mesotrione and triasulfuron were higher for S+SS, while that of pethoxamid was higher for S+GC, but no relationship between values for the time to 50% degradation (DT50) and adsorption coefficients could be determined. The repeated application of mesotrione decreased its dissipation rate in unamended soil (DT50 increased from 4.75 to 8.15 days) and amended soils (DT50 increased from 11.7 to 28.2 days in S+GC and from 17.7 to 37.9 in S+SS), whereas the repeated application of pethoxamid increased its dissipation rate in all the treatments, and the rate for triasulfuron increased only in amended soils. The highest DT50 values for pethoxamid (12.3 days) and triasulfuron (57.1 days) were in S+GC, and the lowest in S+SS (8.35 and 24.7 days). Soil DHA was stimulated by the presence of GC in the soil and by the first application of mesotrione. The second application of mesotrione and pethoxamid positively affected soil DHA, but this did not occur for triasulfuron. The repeated applications of herbicides and soil organic amendments have different effects on herbicide dissipation, adsorption, and soil DHA, and they should be taken into account when assessing soil quality and other potential environmental implications of pesticide use.

Phytotoxicity of Essential Oils on Selected Weeds: Potential Hazard on Food Crops. PLANTS 2018; 7:plants7040079. [PMID: 30248993 PMCID: PMC6313844 DOI: 10.3390/plants7040079] [Citation(s) in RCA: 29] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/11/2018] [Revised: 09/19/2018] [Accepted: 09/20/2018] [Indexed: 12/13/2022]
Abstract
The chemical composition of winter savory, peppermint, and anise essential oils, and in vitro and in vivo phytotoxic activity against weeds (Portulaca oleracea, Lolium multiflorum, and Echinochloa crus-galli) and food crops (maize, rice, and tomato), have been studied. Sixty-four compounds accounting for between 97.67–99.66% of the total essential oils were identified by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry analysis. Winter savory with carvacrol (43.34%) and thymol (23.20%) as the main compounds produced a total inhibitory effect against the seed germination of tested weed. Menthol (48.23%), menthone (23.33%), and iso-menthone (16.33%) from peppermint only showed total seed germination inhibition on L. multiflorum, whereas no significant effects were observed with trans-anethole (99.46%) from anise at all concentrations (0.125–1 µL/mL). Low doses of peppermint essential oil could be used as a sustainable alternative to synthetic agrochemicals to control L. multiflorum. The results corroborate that in vivo assays with a commercial emulsifiable concentrate need higher doses of the essential oils to reproduce previous in vitro trials. The higher in vivo phytotoxicity of winter savory essential oil constitutes an eco-friendly and less pernicious alternative to weed control. It is possible to achieve a greater in vivo phytotoxicity if less active essential oil like peppermint is included with other active excipients.

Mesotrione herbicide does not cause genotoxicity, but modulates the genotoxic effects of Atrazine when assessed in mixture using a plant test system (Allium cepa).

Abstract
Mesotrione (MES) is an herbicide from the triketone family and has been used as an alternative to Atrazine (ATZ), which was banned in some countries due to its toxicity to non-target organisms. Despite being considered an eco-friendly herbicide, data from the literature about the harmful effects of MES in its pure form and/or in combination with other herbicides is still scarce. Aimed at assessing the potential of MES to induce cell death and DNA damage, seeds of Allium cepa (higher plant, monocotyledon) were exposed to this herbicide, pure and in mixture with ATZ, and the number of dividing cells (cytotoxicity), chromosomal aberrations (CA, genotoxicity) and micronuclei (MN, mutagenicity) were then quantified. The pure MES (1.8 to 460 μg/L) did not show either cytotoxicity or genotoxicity/mutagenicity under the tested conditions. The genotoxicity of ATZ (1.5 to 400 μg/L), previous reported in the literature, was confirmed herein. The assessment of MES + ATZ mixtures (1.8 + 1.5; 7 + 6.25; 30 + 25 μg/L, respectively) showed that MES, at low concentrations, enhance the genotoxicity of ATZ (potentiation), since the significant frequencies of CA and MN were greater than the ones expected in additive effects. Taking together, MES in its pure form seems to be a safe alternative to ATZ regarding the capacity to damage (at cellular and DNA levels) non-target plants (Monocots); however, MES in combination with ATZ appeared to act as a co-mutagen at low concentrations.

Assembly of nitroreductase and layered double hydroxides toward functional biohybrid materials. J Colloid Interface Sci 2018; 533:71-81.

Abstract
The development of new multifunctional materials integrating catalytically active and selective biomolecules, such as enzymes, as well as easily removable and robust inorganic supports that allow their use and reuse, is a subject of ongoing attention. In this work, the nitroreductase NfrA2/YncD (NR) from Bacillus megaterium Mes11 strain was successfully immobilized by adsorption and coprecipitation on layered double hydroxide (LDH) materials with different compositions (MgAl-LDH and ZnAl-LDH), particle sizes and morphologies, and using different enzyme/LDH mass ratios (Q). The materials were characterized and the immobilization and catalytic performance of the biohybrids were studied and optimized. The nitroreductase-immobilized on the nanosized MgAl-LDH displayed the best catalytic performance with 42-46% of catalytic retention and>80% of immobilization yield at saturation values of enzyme loading Cs ≈ 0.6 g NR/g LDH (Q = 0.8). The adsorption process displayed high enzyme-LDH affinity interactions yielding to a stable biohybrid material. The increase in the amount of enzyme loading favoured the catalytic performance of the biohybrid due to the better preservation of the native conformation. The biohybrid was reused several times with partial activity retention after 4 cycles. In addition, the biohybrid was successfully dried maintaining the catalytic activity for several weeks when it was stored in its dry form. Finally, thin films of NR@LDH biohybrid deposited on glassy carbon electrodes were evaluated as a modified electrode applied for nitro-compound detection. The results show that these biohybrids can be used in biotechnology applications to efficiently detect compounds such as dinitrotoluene. The search for new non-hazardous chemical designs preventing or reducing the use of aggressive chemical processes for human being and the environment is the common philosophy within sustainable chemistry.

Abstract
The prediction of chemical mixture toxicity is a major concern regarding unintentional mixture of pesticides from agricultural lands treated with various such compounds. We focused our work on a mixture of three herbicides commonly applied on maize crops within a fortnight, namely mesotrione (β-triketone), nicosulfuron (sulfonylurea) and S-metolachlor (chloroacetanilide). The metabolic pathways of mesotrione and nicosulfuron were qualitatively and quantitatively determined with a bacterial strain (Bacillus megaterium Mes11). This strain was isolated from an agricultural soil and able to biotransform both these herbicides. Although these pathways were unaffected in the case of binary or ternary herbicide mixtures, kinetics of nicosulfuron disappearance and also of mesotrione and nicosulfuron metabolite formation was strongly modulated. The toxicity of the parent compounds and metabolites was evaluated for individual compounds and mixtures with the standardized Microtox® test. Synergistic interactions were evidenced for all the parent compound mixtures. Synergistic, antagonistic or additive toxicity was obtained depending on the metabolite mixture. Overall, these results emphasize the need to take into account the active ingredient and metabolites all together for the determination of environmental fate and toxicity of pesticide mixtures.

Abstract
Urban agriculture is crucial to local populations, but the risk of it contaminating water has rarely been documented. The aim of this study was to assess pesticide contamination of surface waters from the Méfou watershed (Yaoundé, Cameroon) by 32 selected herbicides, fungicides, and insecticides (mainly polar) according to their local application, using both grab sampling and polar organic compounds integrative samplers (POCIS). Three sampling campaigns were conducted in the March/April and October/November 2015 and June/July 2016 rainy seasons in urban and peri-urban areas. The majority of the targeted compounds were detected. The quantification frequencies of eight pesticides were more than 20% with both POCIS and grab sampling, and that of diuron and atrazine reached 100%. Spatial differences in contamination were evidenced with higher contamination in urban than peri-urban rivers. In particular, diuron was identified as an urban contaminant of concern because its concentrations frequently exceeded the European water quality guideline of 0.200 μg/L in freshwater and may thus represent an ecological risk due to a risk quotient > 1 for algae observed in 94% of grab samples. This study raises concerns about the impacts of urban agriculture on the quality of water resources and to a larger extent on the health of the inhabitants of cities in developing countries.

Abstract
This study evaluates the dissipation of terbuthylazine, metolachlor, and mesotrione at different depths in soils with contrasting texture. The field trial was conducted at the Padua University Experimental Farm, north-east Italy. The persistence of three herbicides was studied in three different soil textures (clay soil, sandy soil, and loamy soil) at two depths (0-5 and 5-15 cm). Soil organic carbon content was highest in the clay (1.10%) followed by loam (0.67%) and sandy soil (0.24%); the pH of soils was sub-alkaline. Terbuthylazine, metolachlor, and mesotrione were applied on maize as a formulated product (Lumax®) at a dose of 3.5 L ha-1. Their dissipation in the treated plots was followed for 2 months after application. The concentrations of herbicides were analyzed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. The dissipation of terbuthylazine, metolachlor, and mesotrione could be described by a pseudo first-order kinetics. Terbuthylazine showed the highest DT50, followed by metolachlor and mesotrione. Considering the tested soil, the highest DT50 value was found in clay soil for terbuthylazine and metolachlor, whereas for mesotrione there was no difference among soils. Significant differences were found between the two soil depths for terbuthylazine and metolachlor, whereas none were found for mesotrione. These results suggest that soil texture and depth have a strong influence on the dissipation of terbuthylazine and metolachlor, whereas no influence was observed on mesotrione because of its chemical and physical properties.

Abstract
Bispyribac sodium (BS), is a selective, systemic and post emergent herbicide used to eradicate grasses and broad leaf weeds. Extensive use of this herbicide has engendered serious environmental concerns. Hence it is important to develop strategies for bioremediation of BS in a cost effective and environment friendly way. In this study a bacterial consortium named BDAM, comprising three novel isolates Achromobacter xylosoxidans (BD1), Achromobacter pulmonis (BA2), and Ochrobactrum intermedium (BM2), was developed by virtue of its potential for degradation of BS. Different culture conditions (temperature, pH and inoculum size) were optimized for degradation of BS by the consortium BDAM and the mutual interactions of these parameters were analysed using a 23 full factorial central composite design (CCD) based on Response Surface Methodology (RSM). The optimal values for temperature, pH and inoculum size were found to be 40 °C, 8 and 0.4 g/L respectively to achieve maximum degradation of BS (85.6%). Moreover, the interactive effects of these parameters were investigated using three dimensional surface plots in terms of maximum fitness function. Importantly, it was concluded that the newly developed consortium is a potential candidate for biodegradation of BS in a safe, cost-effective and environmentally friendly manner.

Abstract
This review highlights the current research on the interactions between biological cells and Layered Double Hydroxides (LDH). The as-prepared biohybrid materials appear extremely attractive in diverse fields of application relating to health care, environment and energy production. We describe how thanks to the main features of biological cells and LDH layers, various strategies of assemblies can be carried out for constructing smart biofunctional materials. The interactions between the two components are described with a peculiar attention to the adsorption, biocompatibilization, LDH layer internalization, antifouling and antimicrobial properties. The most significant achievements including authors' results, involving biological cells and LDH assemblies in waste water treatment, bioremediation and bioenergy generation are specifically addressed.

Abstract
Fluazaindolizine suspension concentrate (500gL-1 SC), as a pre-commercialized product, was firstly investigated under open-field conditions. A sensitive method for simultaneous determination of fluazaindolizine and seven metabolites (IN-QEK31, IN-F4106, IN-A5760, IN-UJV12, IN-UNS90, IN-QZY47 and IN-TMQ01) was established and validated using HPLC-QqQ-MS/MS technique. The LOQs of these pollutants in tomato were 0.01mgkg-1, and their recoveries were 81.1%-117% with the relative standard deviations (RSDs <11.8%). The dissipation behaviours of fluazaindolizine in soil followed first-order kinetics with the half lives of 4.6-32.4days, whilst the residues in plant were below its LOQ after 7days. The fluazaindolizine residues in soil were below 0.963mgkg-1, based on root irrigation applications (50-75mg a.i. per plant) twice and pre-harvest interval (PHI, 3days), while the residues of IN-QEK31, IN-F4106 and IN-A5760 were below 3.9mgkg-1, excluding other four metabolites (<0.01mgkg-1). The residues of fluazaindolizine in tomato were below 0.01mgkg-1, and IN-QEK31 remained 0.135mgkg-1. The current study could not only guide reasonable usage of the formulation, but also facilitate the setting of residue definition and its maximum residue limits (MRLs) of fluazaindolizine in tomato.

Abstract
Elevated concentrations of trifluoroacetate (TFA) of more than 100 μg/L in a major German river led to the occurrence of more than 20 μg/L TFA in bank filtration based tap waters. Several spatially resolved monitoring programs were conducted and discharges from an industrial company were identified as the point source of TFA contamination. Treatment options for TFA removal were investigated at full-scale waterworks and in laboratory batch tests. Commonly applied techniques like ozonation or granulated activated carbon filtration are inappropriate for TFA removal, whereas TFA was partly removed by ion exchange and completely retained by reverse osmosis. Further investigations identified wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) as additional TFA dischargers into the aquatic environment. TFA was neither removed by biological wastewater treatment, nor by a retention soil filter used for the treatment of combined sewer overflows. WWTP influents can even bear a TFA formation potential, when appropriate CF3-containing precursors are present. Biological degradation and ozonation batch experiments with chemicals of different classes (flurtamone, fluopyram, tembotrione, flufenacet, fluoxetine, sitagliptine and 4:2 fluorotelomer sulfonate) proved that there are yet overlooked sources and pathways of TFA, which need to be addressed in the future.
