Soybean yield is often reduced by pest attacks. Among these, Anticarsia gemmatalis Hübner (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) stands out as one of the most important defoliating pests of soybean. Therefore, the development of new bioinsecticides targeting Lepidopteran pests is an urgent need.

Native Bacillus spp. isolated from cocoa fermentations demonstrate cadmium resistance and removal capabilities. Through a multidisciplinary approach combining genomics, metagenomics, electron microscopy and functional assays, we identified promising strains for sustainable cadmium bioremediation, offering a natural strategy to improve cocoa safety and ...

Fatores de virulência de Bacillus thuringiensis: o que existe além das proteínas Cry
As proteínas Cry produzidas pela bactéria entomopatogênica Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner são bem conhecidas devido a alta citotoxicidade que exibem a uma variedade de insetos-alvo. O modo de ação destas proteínas é específico e torna os produtos à base

Fried potato consumption is increasingly associated with metabolic disorders, yet preventive strategies remain poorly understood. In a 13‐week mouse model, long‐term potato chip intake induced significant glycolipid metabolic disturbances and tissue damage, which were ameliorated by fish oil supplementation through modulation of inflammation, hepatic ...

Maize varieties producing insecticidal proteins from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) have become an important component of integrated pest management worldwide. For regulatory approval of such plants, risks to the environment need to be assessed. To make such assessments less expensive and time‐consuming, conclusions drawn from data collected in one region
