Other important challenges include the urgent need to reduce the volume of pollutants discharged into various environmental compartments and mitigate the effects of their release on the functioning of natural ecosystems. In this context, p...

Muito antes de conquistar um inequívoco protagonismo na produção de todos os grandes tragediógrafos da Época Clássica ? que parecem ter vertido quase obsessivamente no seu caudal simbólico a sombra ominosa das lutas fratricidas contemporâneas ? a saga mítica de Tebas, alicerçada sobre a desventurada linha sucessória da família real inaugurada por Cadmo, ocorre em múltiplas alusões narrativas, desde o primordial...
Long before gaining an unequivocal prominence in the production of all the great tragediographers of the Classical Period - who seem to have almost obsessively poured the ominous shadow of contemporary fratricidal struggles into their symbolic flow - the mythical saga of Thebes, based on the unfortunate line of succession of the royal family inaugurated by Cadmus, occurs in multiple narrative allusions, from th...
Heavy metal toxicity leads to impaired crop growth and reduced crop yields and product quality by disrupting plant nutrient uptake, inhibiting development, inducing oxidative stress, and causing cellular toxicity. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) can play a crucial role in crops’ adaptation to manganese (Mn) toxicity by regulating nutrient uptake and altering subcellular compartmentalization. The present stud...
As the first European literary documents, the Iliad and the Odyssey ensure in the cultural history of the West a unique status, assuming itself since Antiquity as the first foundation of philological and philosophical research, and also as superior literary and artistic model. In the framework of their traditional nature, due to the creative elaboration of generations of aedos, both epics, based on a peculiar t...
In the present study, the levels of Al, Fe, Mn and Zn in wheat shoots were quantified by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Wheat was grown in an acidic soil with toxic levels of Mn and with intact or disrupted extraradical mycelium (ERM) as the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) inoculum source, resulting from the previous growth of O. compressus. In the presence of an intact ERM, toxic Mn ...
