    Abstract The building of fully functional and well-proportioned individuals relies on the precise regulation of the size of each of their constituting organs. A new study unravels a mechanism that confers precision to size regulation of the adult Drosophila eye through morphogen-mediated modulation of cell survival.

    Abstract Anisotropic growth and large-scale morphogenetic movements contribute to the final size and shape of the adult Drosophila wing. A new study unravels an unexpected contribution of cell death, which follows a spatial and temporal pattern, to the growth of the wing and the acquisition of its elongated shape.

    Abstract A balanced gene complement is crucial for proper cell function. Aneuploidy, the condition of having an imbalanced chromosome set, alters the stoichiometry of gene copy numbers and protein complexes and has dramatic consequences at the cellular and organismal levels. In humans, aneuploidy is associated with different pathological conditions including cancer, microcephaly, mental retardation, miscarriages, and aging. Over the last century, Drosophila has provided a valuable system for studying the consequences of systemic aneuploidies. More recently, it has contributed to the identification and molecular dissection of aneuploidy-induced cellular behaviors and their impact at the tissue and organismal levels. In this perspective, we review this active field of research, first by comparing knowledge from yeast, mouse, and human cells, then by highlighting the contributions of Drosophila. The aim of these discussions was to further our understanding of the functional interplay between aneuploidy, cell physiology, and tissue homeostasis in human development and disease.

    Abstract Leaching of glyphosate and AMPA as affected by the time elapsed between the spraying and first leaching event was studied on large-scale lysimeters in a two-year study. The leaching events were induced by irrigation interventions able to deliver 336 L, equivalent to a rainfall of 40 mm. Four groups of three lysimeters were randomly selected between the 12 lysimeters available. They were irrigated on either one day after herbicide treatment (1 DAT), 7 DAT, 14 DAT or 28 DAT. The same group of lysimeters were irrigated a second time 14 days after the first irrigation, corresponding to a period of time of 15 DAT (1 + 14), 21 DAT (7 + 14), 28 DAT (14 + 14) and 42 DAT (28 + 14). In both years, lysimeters were sprayed with glyphosate (360 L ha⁻¹) at a rate of 12 L ha⁻¹, the maximum field rate allowed on the label. Our results pointed out that the leaching of glyphosate and AMPA is effectively event-driven and highlighted the importance of the first rainfall event in moving glyphosate through the soil, increasing the potential risk of water contamination. Overall, both chemicals showed a risk of water contamination. Glyphosate may persist more than usually considered, and its residues were found in leached waters from lysimeters treated 30 days before the leaching event. Other factors may affect the movement of these two compounds through the soil profile after spraying: temperature pattern and soil moisture. Finally, the results of this study refer to a very high application rate of glyphosate. Hence, at lower field rates, observed concentrations can likely be minor.

  7. Article: A new and integrated approach to evaluate the environmental and ecotoxicological impact of herbicide mixtures: A case study in maize

    Abstract An index-based approach for a comprehensive evaluation of the potential risk for active substances and their mixtures to impact the environment was developed. Some of the indices considered already exist (PRISW-1, Priority Index), while others were created ex novo from indicators available on open-source platforms (PESTi, ECOi, AGROi). These indices maybe used for an evaluation before use of pesticides by farmers and advisers. The present approach was initially validated for herbicides in maize crops, but it can readily be applied to other PPPs and crops. PESTi index underline the physical and chemical characteristics as a whole, not considering the impact of other factors such as application rate or period of application. Hence, this index may underestimate the risk associated to a certain chemical. AGROi has a precautionary approach. The risk associated to a specific mixture derives from a combination of intrinsic characteristics of the chemicals, agronomic impacts, regulation restrictions and potential hazard to water compartment. The ECOi index is focused on the ecotoxicological impact against non-target organisms. The helpfulness of this index stands in its ability to easily discriminate the ecotoxicological impact of chemicals using indicators commonly available in literature and without making complex calculations. PRISW-1 Index discriminate active substances according to their risk against three representative non-target organisms. However, due to the intrinsic characteristics of each pesticide, a high PRISW-1 value could not always mean an easy movement of the chemical via runoff waters. The information deriving from Priority index may certainly help public authorities to select chemicals to be detected in water monitoring campaigns. The application of these indices may represent a valid decision tool for public stakeholders in defining agricultural measures to reduce the externalities of pest control.

    Abstract The Drosophila wing has served as a paradigm to mechanistically characterize the role of morphogens in patterning and growth. Wingless (Wg) and Decapentaplegic (Dpp) are expressed in two orthogonal signaling centers, and their gradients organize patterning by regulating the expression of well-defined target genes. By contrast, graded activity of these morphogens is not an absolute requirement for wing growth. Despite their permissive role in regulating growth, here we show that Wg and Dpp are utilized in a non-interchangeable manner by the two existing orthogonal signaling centers to promote preferential growth along the two different axes of the developing wing. Our data indicate that these morphogens promote anisotropic growth by making use of distinct and non-interchangeable molecular mechanisms. Whereas Dpp drives growth along the anterior-posterior axis by maintaining Brinker levels below a growth-repressing threshold, Wg exerts its action along the proximal-distal axis through a double repression mechanism involving T cell factor (TCF).
