TL;DR: The use of the Allium test for testing liposomes and other nanovectors for drug delivery is proposed, in order to assess the cytotoxicity of these types of medium and the possible increase in cytot toxicity of the associated drug.

TL;DR: The obtained results suggest the strong potential for pollution of the two herbicides, particularly at concentrations higher than 0.5%; therefore, caution in their use is recommended to avoid undesirable effects on the environment.

TL;DR: All extracts, and in particular 10% above-ground extract, significantly reduced the germination of the seeds and had a different effect on the growth of maize seedlings, thus revealing a strong cytotoxic and genotoxic effect on maize.

TL;DR: It is proved that the fungicide Royal Flo, even when administered in smaller quantities than generally recommended, reduces the germination and the mitotic index of maize cells and induces a large number of chromosomal anomalies, which suggests its toxic, mutagenic potential.

TL;DR: The results obtained through real-time PCR quantification show that DNA-RRS was detectable in different amounts in different samples: ranging between 0.27% and 9.36% in soy beans, and reaching 50.98% in Soybean meal.
