Non-linear responses via agglomeration and aggregation of gold nanoparticles for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) coupled with chemometric analysis for chlorpyrifos detection. Food Chem 2024; 455:139944. [PMID: 38850989 DOI: 10.1016/j.foodchem.2024.139944] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/23/2024] [Revised: 05/30/2024] [Accepted: 05/31/2024] [Indexed: 06/10/2024]
Abstract
This study investigates the behaviour of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) when exposed to chlorpyrifos, an agricultural pesticide, and its application in detecting the pesticide via surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS). Under synergistic addition of NaCl, AuNPs undergo agglomeration at lower chlorpyrifos concentrations but aggregation at higher concentrations, resulting in a distinctive nonlinear SERS response. A linear relationship is obtained between 0.001 and 1 ppm with detection limit (LOD) of 0.009 ppm, while an inverse response is observed at higher concentrations (1-1000 ppm) with a LOD of 1 ppm. Combining the colorimetric response of AuNP solutions, their absorbance spectra, and principal component analysis can improve detection reliability. The assay, coupled with a simple recovery method using acetonitrile swabbing, achieves high reproducibility in detecting chlorpyrifos in cucumber, even at concentrations as low as 0.11 ppm. This approach can be tailored for various chlorpyrifos concentrations not only in cucumbers but also in different food matrices.

Abstract
Lettuce, a globally consumed nutritious vegetable, is often linked to concerns regarding pesticide residues. To address this issue, we conducted field trials and utilized dynamiCROP modeling to examine the uptake, distribution, translocation, and dissipation of five pesticides (λ-cyhalothrin, difenoconazole, acetamiprid, dimethomorph, and β-cypermethrin) commonly detected in lettuce. At harvest, pesticides residues were below the maximum residue limits (MRLs) at 0.05, 0.39, 0.047, 0.72, and 0.072 mg kg-1, respectively. Simulation results elucidated distinct behaviors of the pesticides following application to lettuce foliage across various compartments. However, all pesticides exhibited a common dissipation trend, initially stabilizing or increasing before gradually declining. For all five pesticides, the largest contribution of residues on lettuce leaves came from the leaf surface during the early period after application, and from the soil in the long term. Health risk assessments indicated negligible risks associated with consuming lettuce containing these pesticides, both in the short and long term.

Abstract
The absorption, transport, and subcellular distribution of strobilurin fungicides (azoxystrobin, pyraclostrobin, and trifloxystrobin) have been studied in cucumbers. Under hydroponic laboratory conditions, pyraclostrobin and trifloxystrobin mainly accumulated in cucumber roots whereas azoxystrobin accumulated in cucumber leaves. In the subcellular distribution experiment, azoxystrobin mainly accumulated as a soluble component. Pyraclostrobin and trifloxystrobin accumulated more in the organelles and cell walls. Azoxystrobin and pyraclostrobin enter the root primarily through the apoplast pathway, whereas trifloxystrobin enters the root through the symplastic pathway. Azoxystrobin can be transported in cucumber through anion and cation channels, whereas pyraclostrobin and trifloxystrobin can be transported only through anion channels. This study has great significance in evaluating environmental risks and food safety.

Abstract
Pesticide residues in citrus may cause health risks in related juice products, and bring much uncertainty during the processing procedures. In this study, based on the dispersive solid-phase extraction (d-SPE) and UPLC-MS/MS, the residual levels of ten analytes in citrus and its processed products were monitored. The results showed that dissipation of the pesticides followed the first-order kinetics and the half-lives in citrus varied greatly, ranging from 6.36 to 63.0 days. The terminal residues of the five pesticides at harvest time were <0.01-0.302 and <0.01-0.124 mg/kg in raw citrus and citrus flesh, respectively, all of which were lower than the corresponding maximum residue limits (MRLs) of 0.5-1 mg/kg. In the processing experiments, the residues of ten analytes in sterilized juice, concentrated juice, and citrus essential oil were in the range of <0.01 to 0.442 mg/kg, <0.01 to 1.16 mg/kg, and <0.01 to 44.0 mg/kg, respectively, and the corresponding processing factors (PFs) were 0.127-1.00, 0.023-3.06, and 0.006-39.2. Particularly, in citrus essential oil, the PFs of etoxazole, fluazinam, lufenuron and spirotetramat-keto-hydroxy were 1.68-39.2, exhibiting obvious enrichment effects. By integrating the residue data of the field trials and the PFs, the acute and chronic dietary risks of the target pesticides in citrus juice were 0.031-1.83 % and 0.002-2.51 %, respectively, which were far lower than 100 %, demonstrating no unacceptable risk to human health. This work provides basic data for the establishment of the MRLs and dietary exposure risk assessment for processed citrus products.

Abstract
Proso millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) is a cereal crop with potential resistance to drought and heat stress, making it a promising alternative crop for regions with hot and dry climates. Because of its importance, it is crucial to investigate pesticide residues in proso millet and assess their potential risks to the environment and human health to protect it from insects or pathogens. This study aimed to develop a model for predicting pesticide residues in proso millet using dynamiCROP. The field trials consisted of four plots, with each plot containing three replicates of 10 m2. The applications of pesticides were conducted two or three times for each pesticide. The residual concentrations of the pesticides in the millet grains were quantitatively analyzed using gas and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The dynamiCROP simulation model, which calculates the residual kinetics of pesticides in plant-environment systems, was employed for predicting pesticide residues in proso millet. Crop-specific, environment-specific, and pesticide-specific parameters were utilized to optimize the model. Half-lives of pesticides in grain of proso millet, which were needed to input for dynamiCROP, were estimated using a modified first-order equation. Proso millet-specific parameters were obtained from previous studies. The accuracy of the dynamiCROP model was assessed using statistical criteria, including the coefficient of correlation (R), coefficient of determination (R2), mean absolute error (MAE), relative root mean square error (RRMSE), and root mean square logarithmic error (RMSLE). The model was then validated using additional field trial data, which showed that it could accurately predict pesticide residues in proso millet grain under different environmental conditions. The results demonstrated the accuracy of the model in predicting pesticide residues in proso millet after multiple applications.

A case study of two field-cultivated wheat varieties. THE SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT 2023; 875:162709. [PMID: 36907395 DOI: 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2023.162709] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/13/2022] [Revised: 03/03/2023] [Accepted: 03/04/2023] [Indexed: 06/18/2023]
Abstract
Pesticides that are absorbed by plants undergo biotransformation and might affect plant metabolic processes. The metabolisms of two cultivated wheat varieties, Fidelius and Tobak, treated with commercially available fungicides (fluodioxonil, fluxapyroxad, and triticonazole) and herbicides (diflufenican, florasulam, and penoxsulam) were studied under field conditions. The results provide novel insights regarding the effects of these pesticides on plant metabolic processes. Plants (roots and shoots) were sampled six times during the six-week experiment. Pesticides and pesticide metabolites were identified using GC-MS/MS, LC-MS/MS, and LC-HRMS, while root and shoot metabolic fingerprints were determined using non-targeted analysis. Fungicide dissipation kinetics were analyzed according to the quadratic mechanism (R2: 0.8522-0.9164) for Fidelius roots, and zero-order for Tobak roots (R2: 0.8455-0.9194); shoot dissipation kinetics were analyzed according to first-order (R2: 0.9593-0.9807) and quadratic (R2: 0.8415-0.9487) mechanisms for Fidelius and Tobak, respectively. The fungicide degradation kinetics were different compared to reported literature values, most likely due to differences in pesticide application methods. The following metabolites were respectively identified in shoot extracts of both wheat varieties for fluxapyroxad, triticonazole, and penoxsulam: 3-(difluoromethyl)-N-(3',4',5'-trifluorobiphenyl-2-yl)-1H pyrazole-4-carboxamide, 2-chloro-5-{(E)-[2-hydroxy-3,3-dimethyl-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)-cyclopentylidene]-methyl}phenol, and N-(5,8-dimethoxy[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidin-2-yl)-2,4-dihydroxy-6 (trifluoromethyl)benzene sulfonamide. Metabolite dissipation kinetics varied depending on the wheat variety. These compounds were more persistent than parent compounds. Despite having the same cultivation conditions, the two wheat varieties varied in their metabolic fingerprints. The study revealed that pesticide metabolism has a greater dependence on plant variety and method of administration compared to the physicochemical properties of the active substance. This highlights the necessity of conducting research on pesticide metabolism under field conditions.

Abstract
A comprehensive approach was applied to evaluate the effects of pesticides on the metabolism of wheat (Triticum aestivum L). The application of commercially available pesticide formulations under field cultivation conditions provided a source of metabolic data unlimited by model conditions, representing a novel approach to study the effects of pesticides on edible plants. Gas and liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry were employed for targeted and non-targeted analysis of wheat roots and shoots sampled six times during the six-week experiment. The applied pesticides: prothioconazole, tebuconazole, fluoxastrobin, diflufenican, florasulam, and penoxulam were found at concentrations ranging 0.0070-25.20 mg/kg and 0.0020-2.2 mg/kg in the wheat roots and shoots, respectively. The following pesticide metabolites were identified in shoots: prothioconazole-desthio (prothioconazole metabolite), 5-(4-chlorophenyl)-2,2-dimethyl-3-(1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl)pentane-1,3-diol (tebuconazole metabolite), and N-(5,8-dimethoxy[1,2,4]triazolo[1,5-c]pyrimidin-2-yl)-2,4-dihydroxy-6-(trifluoromethyl)benzene sulphonamide (penoxulam metabolite). The metabolic fingerprints and profiles changed during the experiment, reflecting the cumulative response of wheat to both its growth environment and pesticides, as well as their metabolites. Approximately 15 days after the herbicide treatment no further changes in the plant metabolic profiles were observed, despite the presence of pesticide and their metabolites in both roots and shoots. This is the first study to combine the determination of pesticides and their metabolites plant tissues with the evaluation of plant metabolic responses under field conditions. This exhaustive approach contributes to broadening the knowledge of pesticide effects on edible plants, relevant to food safety.

Abstract
The non-judicious application of the harmful pesticide endosulfan on okra, one of India's most consumed vegetable crops, has resulted in the frequent detection of residues in food samples. This can lead to resistance and the resurgence of various pests and diseases. In this context, combined dissipation and residue dynamics of different endosulfan components or mixtures (isomers and metabolites) in crop compartments are not yet well understood. To address this research gap, the present study evaluates the dissipation and persistence behavior of different endosulfan isomers (alpha-, beta-isomers) and major metabolite (endosulfan sulfate) on okra during 2017 and 2018. The half-life of endosulfan on okra leaves was found to be between 1.79 and 3.47 days. Half of the endosulfan deposits on okra fruits at the recommended doses were dissipated after 2.39 days compared to 1.99 days at double recommended doses (mean of 2017 and 2018 residue data). Measured endosulfan residues were evaluated against the dynamic plant uptake model dynamiCROP. The better fits were observed between modeled and measured residues for fruits (R2 from 0.84 to 0.96 and residual standard error (ER) between 0.6 and 1.47) as compared to leaves (R2 from 0.57 to 0.88). We also report fractions of endosulfan components ingested by humans after crop harvest. Intake fractions range from 0.0001-7.2 gintake/kg of applied pesticide. Our results can evaluate pesticide residues in different crops grown for human consumption, including their isomers and metabolites. They can be combined with dose-response information to evaluate human exposure and/or health risk assessment.

Abstract
Agricultural chemical residues in farmland and crops is one of the serious public issues that constantly threatens crop production, food security, and human health. Understanding their decay mechanism in crops for accelerating their degradative metabolism is important. In this study, a rice uncharacterized cytochrome P450 gene encoding CYP76C6 was functionally identified in rice exposed to isoproturon (IPU). To verify the role of CYP76C6 in rice resistance to IPU toxicity, CYP76C6 overexpression (OEs) and knockout mutant rice by CRISPR/Cas9 were generated through genetic transformation and gene-editing technologies. Assessment of growth and physiological responses revealed that the growth of OE lines was improved, the IPU-induced cellular damage was attenuated, and IPU accumulation was significantly repressed, whereas the Cas9 lines displayed a contrasting phenotype compared to the wild-type. Both relative contents of IPU metabolites and conjugates in OE lines were reduced and those in Cas9 line were increased, suggesting that CYP76C6 plays a critical role in IPU degradation. Our study unveils a new regulator, together with its mechanism for IPU decay in rice crops, which will be used in reality to reduce environmental risks in food safety and human health.

Effects of Pymetrozine and Tebuconazole with Foliar Fertilizer Through Mixed Application on Plant Growth and Pesticide Residues in Cucumber. BULLETIN OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION AND TOXICOLOGY 2022; 108:267-275. [PMID: 34748044 DOI: 10.1007/s00128-021-03396-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/05/2021] [Accepted: 10/13/2021] [Indexed: 06/13/2023]
Abstract
The mixed application of pesticides and foliar fertilizer has been widely used in the production of cucumber, however, their effects on plant growth and pesticide dissipation are still unclear. In this study, the effects of mixed application of pymetrozine, tebuconazole and foliar fertilizer on the cucumber plant growth and pesticide dissipation were investigated simultaneously. The results show that the mixed use of pymetrozine, tebuconazole, especially adding foliar fertilizer, improved the physiological indexes (i.e., area, nitrogen content and chlorophyll content of the leaves, and root growth) of cucumber plants compared to those with the application of single pesticide. Meanwhile, it can significantly affect the dissipation of pymetrozine even in the slower growth matrices (lower leaves, stems, and plants). The residue of tebuconazole in cucumber plants was affected by the combination of formulation type and foliar fertilizer. This study can provide data for scientifically guiding the mixed application of pesticide and fertilizer.
