Pesticides, which are toxic chemicals, are widely used in agriculture to increase crop yields. These substances have been linked to metabolic disorders, carcinogenic effects, neurotoxicity, and fertility issues. Potatoes, a vegetable widely consumed by the Algerian population, are particularly contaminated with pesticides. The objectives of this study are to investigate the toxicity of certain pesticides commonly used in potato cultivation: metribuzin and mancozeb. In vivo assessment of the long-term effects of low-dose pesticides on lipid and protein metabolism, oxidative/antioxidant status, the activity of certain enzymes, and the histology of various organs allows for the identification of functional and structural disturbances in male and female rats. The results show that pesticide treatment induces a decrease in body weight, increased levels of urea, creatinine, and transaminases, and hyperlipidemia. Furthermore, alterations in the oxidative/antioxidant status are noted. The histology of various organs is characterized by architectural disorganization.

Breeding Oilseed Crops for Sustainable Production: Opportunities and Constraints
<i> <p>Breeding Oilseed Crops for Sustainable Production: Opportunities and Constraints</i> presents key insights into accelerating the breeding of sustainable and superior varieties. </p> <p>The book explores the genetic engineering/biotechnology that has played a vital role in transforming economically important traits from distant/wild species to cultivated varieties, enhancing the quality and quantity of oil and seed yield production. Integrated nutrient management, efficient water management, and forecasting models for pests diseases outbreaks and integrated pest and pest management have also added new dimensions in breeding for sustainable production. With the rise in demand, the scientific community has responded positively by directing a greater amount of research towards sustainable production both for edible and industrial uses. </p> <p>Covering the latest information on various major world oil crops including rapeseed mustard, sunflower, groundnut, sesame, oilpalm, cotton, linseed/flax, castor and olive, this book brings the latest advances together in a single volume for researchers and advanced level students. </p>

Stress Tolerance in Horticultural Crops: Challenges and Mitigation Strategies
<p><i>Stress Tolerance in Horticultural Crops: Challenges and Mitigation Strategies</i> explores concepts, strategies and recent advancements in the area of abiotic stress tolerance in horticultural crops, highlighting the latest advances in molecular breeding, genome sequencing and functional genomics approaches. Further sections present specific insights on different aspects of abiotic stress tolerance from classical breeding, hybrid breeding, speed breeding, epigenetics, gene/quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping, transgenics, physiological and biochemical approaches to OMICS approaches, including functional genomics, proteomics and genomics assisted breeding. </p> <p>Due to constantly changing environmental conditions, abiotic stress such as high temperature, salinity and drought are being understood as an imminent threat to horticultural crops, including their detrimental effects on plant growth, development, reproduction, and ultimately, on yield. This book offers a comprehensive resource on new developments that is ideal for anyone working in the field of abiotic stress management in horticultural crops, including researchers, students and educators.</p>
