Abstract:

To establish meaningful policy directives for sustainable agrochemical use, we require baseline knowledge of the impacts of agrochemicals on non-target organisms. The widespread use of the herbicide glyphosate has resulted in the global presence of its metabolite, aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA). AMPA is commonly found in water bodies, including freshwater systems. We investigated the effects of AMPA exposure on the survivorship, regenerative abilities, and locomotion of the brown planarian (Girardia tigrina), a water-dwelling flatworm commonly found in freshwater ecosystems.

Objective. To investigate the genotoxicity of metformin on planarian with different concentrations and exposure times. Methods. The planarians were treated, respectively, with 10 mmol/L and 50 mmol/L metformin for 1, 3, and 5 days, and then, the comet assay and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis were performed. 13 random primers were used for PCR amplification with the genomic DNAs as templates. Planarians cultured in clear water were used as the control. Genomic template stability (GTS) was calculated by comparing and analyzing the RAPD patterns of the control group and the trea

Abstract:

Planarians are one of the most primitive groups of organisms to have developed acentral nervous system, being a useful model for neurological research. This experiment focused on the foraging behavior of Dugesia sp., a freshwater planarian under the treatment of different concentrations of exogenous neurotransmitters glutamate and acetylcholine. The average velocities of planarians showed dose-related decreasing trends when acetylcholine was applied, while an overall increase was observed in all glutamate groups. Thus, the results suggested the role of the two neurotransmitters in regulating p

Abstract:

Planarians exhibit traits of cephalization but are unique among bilaterians in that they ingest food by means of goal-directed movements of a trunk-positioned pharynx, following protrusion of the pharynx out of the body, raising the question of how planarians control such a complex set of body movements for achieving robust feeding. Here, we use the freshwater planarian Dugesia japonica to show that an isolated pharynx amputated from the planarian body self-directedly executes its entire sequence of feeding functions: food sensing, approach, decisions about ingestion, and intake.

Abstract:

Abstract Asexual freshwater planarians reproduce by transverse bisection (binary fission) into two pieces. This process produces a head and a tail, which fully regenerate within 1–2 weeks. How planarians split into two offspring—using only their musculature and substrate traction—is a challenging biomechanics problem. We found that three different species, Dugesia japonica, Girardia tigrina and Schmidtea mediterranea, have evolved three different mechanical solutions to self-bisect. Using time lapse imaging of the fission process, we quantitatively characterize the main steps of division in th

Planarians, for their efficient regeneration capacity and establishment of a central nervous system, are suitable models for understanding stem cells potency and developmental neuroscience. The ubiquitous neurotransmitter, serotonin, was stated to have a vital role in the regeneration process. This research investigated the regenerative sexual reproduction effect of exogenous serotonin in a recently found marine planarian, Paucumara falcata. Contrary to freshwater species, this marine planarian showed dose-dependent retarded regeneration in presence of serotonin, suggesting possible variation

Abstract:

Chlorpyrifos, an organophosphate insecticide widely used to control agricultural pests, poses a significant environmental threat due to its toxicity and persistence in soil and water. Our work aimed to evaluate the acute (survival) and chronic (regeneration, locomotion, and reproduction) toxicity of chlorpyrifos to the non-target freshwater planarian Girardia tigrina. The 48 h lethal concentration (LC50) of the commercial formulation, containing 480 g L−1 of chlorpyrifos, the active ingredient, was determined to be 622.8 µg a.i. L−1 for planarians.

They are widespread in tropical freshwaters and have been proposed as good candidates to assess the toxic effects of freshwater systems contaminated by insecticides.

Abstract:

HSP60, a well-known mitochondrial chaperone, is essential for mitochondrial homeostasis. HSP60 deficiency causes dysfunction of the mitochondria and is lethal to animal survival. Here, we used freshwater planarian as a model system to investigate and uncover the roles of HSP60 in tissue regeneration and homeostasis. HSP60 protein is present in all types of cells in planarians, but it is relatively rich in stem cells and head neural cells. Knockdown of HSP60 by RNAi causes head regression and the loss of regenerating abilities, which is related to decrease in mitotic cells and inhibition of ste

Abstract:

Biological evolution has generated a vast array of natural compounds produced by organisms across all domains. Among these, secondary metabolites, selected to enhance an organism’s competitiveness in its natural environment, make them a reservoir for discovering new compounds with cytotoxic activity, potentially useful as novel anticancer agents. Slime secretions, the first barrier between epithelial surfaces and the surrounding environment, frequently contain cytotoxic molecules to limit the growth of parasitic organisms. Planarians, freshwater Triclads, continuously secrete a viscous mucus w

Abstract:

This study addresses the uncertain phyletic status of four Australian freshwater planarians: Dugesia glandulosa (Kenk, 1930), Planaria graffi Weiss, 1909, P. hoernesi Weiss, 1909, P. boehmigi Weiss, 1909. Planaria hoernesi and P. boehmigi are redescribed on the basis of newly prepared type material. Following up on previous studies, a new phylogenetic hypothesis concerning relationships within the family Dugesiidae is developed. In view of this hypothesis, and taking into account the incomplete information on the species' morphology, it is concluded that P. graffi is best assigned to the genus

Abstract:

The freshwater planarian is an emerging animal model in neuroscience due to its centralized nervous system that closely parallels closely parallels the nervous system of vertebrates. Cocaine, an abused drug, is the ‘founding member’ of the local anesthetic family. Parthenolide, a sesquiterpene lactone, acts as a behavioral and physiological antagonist of cocaine in planarians and rats, respectively. Previous work from our laboratory showed that both parthenolide and cocaine reduced planarian motility and that parthenolide reversed the cocaine-induced motility decrease at concentrations where p
