RETRACTED: Environmental Impact of Pharmaceutical Pollutants: Synergistic Toxicity of Ivermectin and Cypermethrin by Davide Di Paola, Carmelo Iaria, Fabio Marino, Enrico Gugliandolo, Cristian Piras, Rosalia Crupi, Salvatore Cuzzocrea, Nunziacarla Spanò, Domenico Britti, Alessio Filippo Peritore

“…In the present study, we evaluated the toxicity after exposure of different concentration of ivermectin (IVM; 50, 100, and 200 μg L⁻¹) and cypermethrin (CYP; 5, 10, and 25 μg L⁻¹) and the combination of these two compounds at non-toxic concentration (IVM 100 + CYP 5 μg L⁻¹) in zebrafish embryos. Combination of IVM at 100 μg L⁻¹ with CYP at 5 μg L⁻¹ exposure induced hatching delay and malformations at 96 hpf in zebrafish larvae as well as significant induction of cell death in zebrafish larvae. …”

MicroRNA and Putative Target Discoveries in Chrysanthemum Polyploidy Breeding by Fengjiao Zhang, Jingya Zhao, Sujuan Xu, Weimin Fang, Fadi Chen, Nianjun Teng

“…As a result, a total of 170 miRNAs were identified and there are 41 special miRNAs in cross of paternal chromosome doubling, such as miR169b, miR440, and miR528-5p. miR164c and miR159a were highly expressed in a normal embryo at 18 days after pollination, suggesting the regulatory role at the late stage of embryonic development. miR172c was only detected in the normal embryo at 18 days after pollination, which means that miR172c mainly mediates gene expression in postembryonic development and these genes may promote embryo maturation. …”
