Rats show individual preference for short-term choice of three human diets [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
A preference test was conducted to investigate whether rats could distinguish among three iso-energetic and iso-nitrogeneous human diets prepared with ingredients cultivated by each of three different farming strategies: LIminusP: low input of ...

Assembling Hexahedral Supramolecular Nano‐Aggregates on Rice Wax Layer Matrices to Promote the Leaf Deposition and Bioavailability of Bactericides for Plant Protections

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
To address the problem of off‐target movement and low bioavailability of pesticides, two anisotropic supramolecular building units (BiTA18@β‐CD and BiTA18@γ‐CD) have been invented that can self‐assemble into nano‐sized hexagonal cuboids on the rice microcrystalline matrix. This manipulation realizes the enhanced utilization of bactericides for rice and

Toxicity of plant essential oils to Cryphonectria parasitica (Murr.) Barr, the causal agent of chestnut blight [PDF]

open access: yesPesticidi i Fitomedicina, 2019
Twenty-two essential oil samples from Germany and Albania were assayed to test their inhibitory and fungicidal activity against Cryphonectria parasitica (Murr.) Barr., the major causal agent of chestnut blight on chestnut trees, using the fumigant ...

Pesti-Gen: Unleashing a Generative Molecule Approach for Toxicity Aware Pesticide Design [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Global climate change has reduced crop resilience and pesticide efficacy, making reliance on synthetic pesticides inevitable, even though their widespread use poses significant health and environmental risks. While these pesticides remain a key tool in pest management, previous machine-learning applications in pesticide and agriculture have focused on ...

Untying Surface Chemistry and Emulsion Stability to Construct Multifunctional Pickering Emulsion SERS Sensors for Pretreatment‐Free Quantitative Analysis in Bio‐Media

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A dual‐particle interfacial self‐assembly approach is used to create surface‐accessible Pickering emulsions with Au@Prussian blue nanoparticles acting as the functional component. These emulsions have strong plasmonic properties and are equipped with molecular sieves and internal standards.

Electronic Nanomaterials for Plants: A Review on Current Advances and Future Prospects

open access: yesAdvanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
Global food security faces mounting challenges from climate change and rapid population growth. This review highlights the pivotal role of electronic nanomaterials–including metals, metal oxides, and carbon‐based structures–in enhancing plant photosynthesis, nutrient uptake, and stress resilience. Furthermore, it explores how emerging platforms such as

Stringency and dissimilarity of Maximum Residue Levels affect bilateral agri‐food trade stability

open access: yesApplied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.
Abstract Food standards are rising in both prevalence and stringency. They protect consumers and may enhance demand stability but also pose compliance challenges to producers, with ambiguous effects on the stability of trade relationships. We analyze the impact of importers' Maximum Residue Levels (MRLs) along with bilateral MRL dissimilarity between ...
