ABSTRACT: Analysis of the structure and diversity of denitrifying bacteria mediated by suspended particulate matter in aquaculture water bodies in Higher place pond
Project description:Purpose: Determine the mechanism of particulate matter-induced signaling in melanocytes. Method: Primary human epidermal melanocytes were treated with particulate matter (5 μg/cm2) and incubated for 24 h. Total RNA (1 ug) from melanocytes were extracted and subjected to library synthesis. Results: Particulate matter-treated melanocytes exhibited upregulation of ER stress, unfolded protein response, and melanogenesis-related molecules. Conclusion: Particulate matter-induced melanocyte signaling was well evaluated using RNA sequencing.
Project description:This study aimed to shed light on the gene regulatory networks underlying plant leaf responses to air particulate matter. Our investigation focused on shrubs of Photinia x fraseri grown in pots located in two contrasting areas: a highly polluted traffic road and rural countryside within the same town (Altopascio, Lucca, Italy). RNA-seq data were related to leaf morphological traitsand air particulate matter, allowing to identify key players in modulating the capabilities of plants to phyllo-remediate high air particulate matter levels in urban environment.
Project description:This study aimed to shed light on the gene regulatory networks underlying plant leaf responses to air particulate matter. Our investigation focused on autochthonous shrubs of laurel (Laurus nobilis L.) grown in pots located in two contrasting areas: a highly polluted traffic road and rural countryside within the same town (Altopascio, Lucca, Italy). RNA-seq data were related to leaf morphological traits and air particulate matter, allowing to identify key players in modulating the capabilities of plants to phyllo-remediate high air particulate matter levels in urban environment.
