The continuing significance of chiral agrochemicals

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 4, Page 1697-1716, April 2025.
In the time frame 2018–2023, around 43% of the 35 chiral agrochemicals introduced to the market (herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, acaricides, and nematicides) contain one or more stereogenic centers in the molecule, and almost 69% of them have been marketed as racemic mixtures of enantiomers or stereoisomers.

Stable flies preferentially oviposit on sites offering conspecific eggs with egg‐derived bacterial semiochemicals

Insect Science, EarlyView.
Stable flies preferentially oviposit on sites offering conspecific eggs with egg‐derived airborne semiochemicals. Egg‐borne bacterial symbionts, and Serratia marcescens in particular, produce odorants which attract gravid female flies and elicit oviposition.

Fly me to the canopy: Diptera communities in oak forest crowns as bioindicators of stand decline

Insect Conservation and Diversity, EarlyView.
Diptera diversity: Oak decline increases the overall Diptera diversity, particularly in saproxylic and floricolous guilds, likely due to more open canopies and greater deadwood and floral resource availability. Family responses: Dolichopodidae, Empididae, Hybotidae and Anthomyiidae thrive in declining stands, whereas Mycetophilidae and other fungus ...

Fungal specificity in degradation of Moso bamboo: White-rot versus brown-rot fungi

Industrial Crops and Products
Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys edulis) is a cornerstone material in industrial processing, bamboo construction, and the manufacturing of bamboo products. However, its unique composition, particularly its high starch content, makes it highly susceptible to ...

Circadian Clock Gates Verticillium dahliae Defence in Cotton by Modulating JAZs Expression

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The circadian clock plays critical roles in orchestrating temporal regulation of diverse physiological processes. However, its role in mediating root‐associated immunity against soil‐borne pathogens in crops remains poorly understood. Here, we show that cotton circadian clock gates nighttime resistance to vascular fungal pathogen Verticillium ...

Characterization of acetylated wood decayed by brown-rot and white-rot fungi

Journal of Wood Science, 1999
The objective of this study was to characterize the decay of acetylated wood due to brown-rot and white-rot fungi by analysis of chemical composition, X-ray measurements, and13C-NMR spectroscopy. The decay by brown-rot fungus became inhibited at a weight percent gain (WPG) due to acetylation of more than 10%, and the mass loss (LOSS) due to decay ...

Resistance of Chip Block Pallet from Teak Wood Particle against Decay Fungi and Subterranean Termites

Jurnal Sylva Lestari, 2023
Wood biomass such as sawdust, particles, and chip obtained wood industry can be used as raw material for chip block pallets (CBP). This study evaluated the resistance of chip block pallets made from teak-sawn waste and polyurethane adhesive against decay

A Repertoire of Major Genes From Crop Wild Relatives for Breeding Disease‐Resistant Wheat, Rice, Maize, Soybean and Cotton Crops

Plant Breeding, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global food demand is predicted to rise anywhere from 59% to 98% by 2050 because of increasing population. However, the continued depletion of natural resources and increasing biotic and abiotic stresses will continue to pose significant threats to global food security in coming years.

Living in the Mycelial World

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView.
Abstract This manuscript documents a systematic ethnomycological analysis of ethnographic archives. Focusing on texts describing human–fungi interactions, I conduct a global, cross‐cultural review of mushroom use, covering 193 societies worldwide. The study reveals diverse mushroom‐related cultural practices, emphasizing the significance of fungi ...

Brown Rot-Type Fungal Decomposition of Sorghum Bagasse: Variable Success and Mechanistic Implications

International Journal of Microbiology, 2018
Sweet sorghum is a promising crop for a warming, drying African climate, and basic information is lacking on conversion pathways for its lignocellulosic residues (bagasse).
