Lipids and amino acids inhibitory herbicides impaired the leaf structure and photosynthetic capacity of wheat seedlings under elevated temperature.

Weeds management without herbicides seems impossible in modern day agriculture while, their phytotoxic effects on the crops are equally anticipated. However, the magnitude of herbicidal phytotoxicity on wheat seedlings in the perspective of global warming has predominantly remained unexplored. In the line of that, an experiment was conducted in which the wheat seedlings were raised in a high and normal temperature environment and treated with the amino and fatty acids synthesis inhibitory herbicides including Atlantis Super, Axial, and Puma Super along with a control.

The fungicide azoxystrobin causes histopathological and cytotoxic changes in the midgut of the honey bee Apis mellifera (Hymenoptera: Apidae).

Apis mellifera is an important bee pollinating native and crop plants but its recent population decline has been linked to the use of pesticides, including fungicides that have been commonly classified as safe for bees. However, many pesticides, in addition to direct mortality cause sublethal effects, including damage to target selective honey bee organs. The midgut is the organ responsible for the digestion and absorption of nutrients and the detoxification of ingested substances, such as pesticides.
