Neonicotinoid based insecticides are one of the most commonly used groups of insecticides, but the safety of their used is not well understood. Using chemical genomics we succeeded in identifying the molecular mechanisms of the main side effects caused by the neonicotinoid based formulations.)
B.03 Paper at an international scientific conference
COBISS.SI-ID: 1045499Glyphosate is one of the most commonly used herbicides with poorly understood side effects. Genome-wide analysis in yeast enabled an overview of the molecular mechanisms of action of glyphosate.
B.03 Paper at an international scientific conference
COBISS.SI-ID: 1008891Research work of Polonca Trebše falls within the scope and activities of biological substances (pesticides, polyphenols) in the environment that are important from an environmental, agricultural, food, as well as the health aspect. Her research work is highly interdisciplinary, as it studies the basic mechanisms of such conversions of chemical substances as well as their biological effects on organisms, and the possible direct or indirect impact on human health.

COBISS.SI-ID: 1046011Within the invited lecture the results of stability and toxicity studies of selected organophosphate and neonicotinoid insecticides were presented. It was shown that organophosphates are more toxic then neonicotinoids, but on the other side, neonicotinoids are much more stable under environmental conditions. During degradation in the case of organophosphates several, more toxic products are formed.
