    The effect of propolis egg shell coatings on interior egg quality
    (Eugen Ulmer Gmbh Co, 2008) Copur, Gulsen; Camcil, O.; Sahinler, Nuray; Gul, A.
    Effects of various concentrations of propolis for egg coating (5%, 8% and 10% of propolis in ethanol) on the interior quality of fresh eggs were evaluated during 4 weeks of storage. During storage, albumen height decreased whereas albumen pH increased. The albumen pH of the uncoated eggs (control; Group I), and the eggs coated with alcohol (Group II) and 5% propolis (Group III) was significantly higher (P 0.05) than the albumen pH of eggs coated with 8% (Group IV) and 10% propolis (Group V). On the other hand, at 4 weeks storage eggs of Groups IV and V had a higher albumen index than the rest of the groups. The HU value of eggs of Groups IV and V were significantly higher than for eggs of Groups I, II and III. Coating with 10% propolis (Group V) resulted in the maintenance of grade 'A' for 2 weeks longer than for the other groups. Propolis did not affect yolk-index (YI) value (p > 0.05). In conclusion, coating of eggs with 10% propolis extract improved interior egg quality during storage.

    Heavy metal stress and responses in plants
    (Springer, 2019) Ghori, N. -H.; Ghori, T.; Hayat, M. Q.; Imadi, S. R.; Gul, A.; Altay, Volkan; Ozturk, M.
    Heavy metals such as Fe, Mn, Cu, Ni, Co, Cd, Zn, Hg and arsenic are for long being accumulated in soils through industrial waste and sewage disposal. Although some of these metals are essential micronutrients responsible for many regular processes in plants, their excess, however, can have detrimental effects and can directly influence the plant growth, metabolism, physiology and senescence. Plants have different mechanisms to fight stress, and they are responsible to maintain homeostasis of essential metals required by plants. These mechanisms also focus on prevention of plants exposure to heavy metals present in the soil or providing tolerance to the plant by detoxifying the metals. Other mechanisms are specific and are initiated when the respective stress is encountered. The first line of defense provided by a plant is to reduce the uptake of metals when stimulated with toxicity of heavy metals and includes the help offered by cellular and root exudates that restricts metals from entering the cell. Many plants have exclusive mechanisms for individual metal ions and are involved in sequestering these ions in compartments avoiding their exposure to sensitive components of the cells. As a second line of defense, other mechanisms for detoxification of these metals are introduced that chelates, transports, sequesters and detoxifies these metal ions in the plant's vacuole. During the time of metal toxicity, oxidative stress is pronounced in the cells and production of stress-related proteins and hormones, antioxidants, signaling molecules including heat-shock proteins synthesis is initiated.
