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.

From the predator to the prey: a case study of the vulnerability of Harmonia axyridis to aggressive competitors

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The level of aggressiveness of an individual is a factor that shapes intraguild predation (IGP) interactions. In Nabis americoferus, high aggressiveness leads to an increase in attack rate and IGP against Harmonia axyridis. Moreover, the absence of extraguild prey seems to exacerbate IGP. In docile N.

Taxonomic and functional diversity of urban bees of the world

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Bees play a pivotal role in terrestrial environments. Urbanization can affect these organisms and the ecosystem services they provide. However, knowledge of the global diversity of urban bees is limited. Thus, we summarized data on urban bee species identities and occurrences; compared distributions of all bees with those found in urban ...

Attractiveness of Melon Genotypes to Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) Mediated by Foliar Morphological and Biochemical Traits

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, EarlyView.
This study identifies melon genotypes resistant to Bemisia tabaci by integrating morphological and biochemical leaf traits. Using free‐choice and no‐choice assays, we demonstrate that resistance is primarily mediated by antixenosis. Genotypes CNPH 11‐1071‐43, CNPH 06‐1047‐343, CNPH 13‐1076, and BG MEL 16 significantly reduced whitefly settling and ...

Serological Detection and Distribution of Eggplant Mosaic and Eggplant Mottled Dwarf Viruses on Eggplant in Kaduna State

, 2022
Eggplant (S. melongena), an important and popular vegetable crop commonly grown in Nigeria and other parts of the world is usually affected by two pertinent viruses: Eggplant mosaic virus (EMV) and Eggplant mottled dwarf virus (EMDV). These two destructive viruses cause considerable yield loss in eggplant production.

Ceramic ecology in an Islamic capital: changes in the production and consumption of pottery in Palermo

Early Medieval Europe, EarlyView.
Palermo became the new capital of Sicily after the Aghlabid conquest in 831. The transformation of the city into a capital took many forms, including the production and consumption of pottery. The perspective from ceramic evidence shows that Palermo underwent faster and deeper processes of Islamization than other urban and rural contexts across the ...

Diets, Fruit and Vegetable Intake and Nutritional Status in Tanzania: Scoping Review

Maternal &Child Nutrition, EarlyView.
This scoping review summarizes evidence on diets, fruit and vegetable (F&V) intake, and nutritional status in Tanzania to identify information gaps and to help with the design and targeting of potential interventions to improve F&V intake. While the majority of existing literature on diets and F&V intake was heterogeneous, evidence suggests that among ...

RNA‐Guided Engineering of the Chloroplast Genome Enabled by Plastid‐Expressed Guide RNAs

Plant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Our goal is to develop RNA‐guided engineering of the chloroplast genome using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. We designed chloroplast minigenes to obtain properly sized single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) in tobacco chloroplasts. The sgRNA 5′ end is defined by transcription from an rRNA operon promoter, and its 3′ end by processing a downstream tRNA (trnG) or ...

Leaf Structure and Hormonal Balance Modulate Host‐Specificity and Pathogenicity of Botrytis cinerea

Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Botrytis cinerea, a highly successful necrotrophic fungal plant pathogen, demonstrates a remarkably broad host range, yet the precise factors governing its host specificity and its ability to coexist non‐pathogenically with plants remain unclear. This study systematically assessed host preference in a series of B. cinerea agricultural isolates,

Identification of Promising Eggplant Genotypes for Root-knot Nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) Resistance

HortScience
Parasitic Meloidogyne incognita root-knot nematodes (RKNs) represent one of the most serious eggplant (Solanum melongena) biotic stress problems. We evaluated 47 eggplant genotypes, including three cultivated eggplant, 13 wild accessions, and 31 eggplant
