Grape is one of the most common crop plants in the world, and Turkey is seventh in fresh grape production. The seedless Sultani grape (Vitis vinifera L.) produced in Manisa is famous worldwide. The determination of antioxidant properties and phenolic substance levels, as well as investigation of the effects of different drying processes on these levels in grapes, is important in terms of revealing their contribution to health. Additionally, determining the levels of pesticide residues in fruit is another important issue for health. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the levels of pesticide residues and antioxidant substances …

Mercury (Hg) is one of the most important environmental pollutants that negatively affects plant growth and development. Cysteine (Cys) plays an important role in plant response to various environmental stress factors. In the present study, the alleviation of Hg stress through exogenous Cys treatment to maize seedlings was evaluated. For this purpose, a hydroponic experiment was set up to investigate the effect of HgCI2 (100 μM) and in combination with Cys (200 μM) on plant growth, total chlorophyll content, reactive oxygen species, antioxidant enzyme activities, and mRNA expression levels of some antioxidant genes in maize seedlings. The results showed that …
