Bee products as alternatives in the treatment of viral infections

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Medicines used in the treatment of viral infections usually reduce symptoms. There is a need to develop drugs that inhibit the viruses and do not merely relieve the symptoms. Natural bee products possess many pharmacological properties and are widely used in folk medicine. There are many studies on the antibacterial effects of bee products but

Leptocybe invasa Fisher & La Salle, 2004 and Ophelimus maskelli Haliday, 1844 - two new records of gall forming Eulophidae from Malta (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The Eulophidae (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea) currently accommodates more than 4,000 described species worldwide in some 300 genera (noyES, 2003). In Europe, the family is represented by about 1,100 species (GAuld & Bolton, 1988).

Temperature and inoculation method influence disease phenotypes and mortality of Eucalyptus marginata clonal lines inoculated with Phytophthora cinnamomi [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Survival of 1-year-old plants of three clonal lines of Eucalyptus marginata (jarrah), two ranked as resistant (RR1 and RR2) and one as susceptible (SS1) to Phytophthora cinnamomi, was assessed after pathogen inoculation with either mycelial mats ...

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

Active chitosan coating to inhibit decay and maintain mango postharvest quality

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Microbial decay limits the storage, quality and trade of mangoes (Mangifera indica). We developed an active chitosan coating containing zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO‐NPs) and Eucalyptus radiata essential oil (EEO) to inhibit decay and preserve postharvest quality of mango. Chitosan (cationic) can disrupt microbial membranes; ZnO‐NPs

Optimizing Odorants for Olfactory Training Based on Olfactory Receptor–Ligand Pair Analysis

open access: yesThe Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study employs receptor–ligand interaction analysis and olfactory epithelium transcriptomics to optimize olfactory training (OT). A novel four‐odorant combination (galaxolide, eugenol acetate, [−]‐menthol, geranyl acetate) activates 83.9% of 385 human olfactory receptors (ORs), covering 69.9% of estimated OR expression—significantly outperforming ...

Coppice potential of 16 different species of Eucalyptus after an eight-year rotation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The adoption of coppice is a commonly used management in different regions of Brazil for plantations of Eucalyptus, which requires less investments. However, there are variations in the ability of each genotype to emit sprouts, and higher yields can be ...
