Arbuscular mycorrhizae reduced arsenic induced oxidative stress by coordinating nutrient uptake and proline-glutathione levels in Cicer arietinum L. (chickpea).

Arsenic accumulation in plants causes oxidative stress. Arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis enhances sulfur-rich peptides and nitrogenous osmolytes to increase tolerance. Certain chickpea genotypes respond better to this symbiosis, especially with Rhizoglomus intraradices. This study shows the importance of selecting specific genotypes for As stress tolerance.

Cytotoxic and Antitumoral Effects of Methanolic Extracts of Avocado Fruit Mesocarp in Colorectal Cancer Cell Line HT29.

Researchers studied avocado extract effects on colorectal cancer cells. Avocado at different ripening stages showed antitumoral properties, with chlorogenic acid being most effective in inducing cytotoxicity, apoptosis, cell cycle arrest, and inhibiting inflammation and invasion. Results suggest potential for developing cancer treatment agents.
