Megalomeric microemulsion is a new term referring to lipid-based formulation using amphiphilic megalosaccharide as a coexcipient. Quercetin is a dose-dependent bioactive compound and has promising therapeutic potential, but its low water solubility and permeability restrict its treatment efficacy....

One-carbon chemicals (C 1s) are potential building blocks as they are cheap, sustainable, and abiotic components. Methanol-derived formaldehyde can be another versatile building block for the production of 2-keto-4-hydroxyacid derivatives that can be used for amino acids, hydroxy carboxylic acids,...

Walnuts are abundant in oil content, especially for polyunsaturated fatty acids, but the understanding of their formation is limited. We collected walnut (Juglans regia L.) kernels at 60, 74, 88, 102, 116, 130, and 144 days after pollination (designated S1-S7). The ultrastructure and accumulation...

Background: Extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi (S. Typhi) poses a grave threat to public health due to increased mortality and morbidity caused by typhoid fever. Honey is a promising antibacterial agent, and we aimed to determine the antibacterial activity of honey...

Ambrosia beetles (Coleoptera; Curculionidae; Scolytinae and Platypodinae) can cause severe damage to trees growing in plant nurseries, orchards and natural forests. Ethanol is emitted by stressed trees and represents an important cue used by ambrosia beetles to locate suitable hosts to infest....

Hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) is one of the most important agricultural products of Türkiye with over 77% of total global production occurring here. Some diseases such as powdery mildew, nectria canker and bacterial blight negatively affect hazelnut production. Changing climatic conditions have...

Ethanedinitrile is a chemical soil fumigant with promising efficacy against several key pests including weeds, nematodes, and soil-borne pathogens. The efficacy of 12 concentrations of ethanedinitrile, ranging from 8.7 to 1,751 mg kg^{- 1} soil, to control seeds and tubers of five weed species (...

In the present communication, two members of the family Strophariaceae have been reported of which Pholiota populnea is a new record from India while P. squarrosa is the first regional record from the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh. Pholiota populnea was found on the dead wood of ...

Recently available EBI and Strobilurin fungicides were evaluated against Uromyces appendiculatus (Pers.) Unger, the causal agent of French bean rust under laboratory, semi-controlled and in vivo conditions during 2015 and 2016 crop seasons. Tebuconazole + trifloxystrobin (100 ppm), azoxystrobin...

Phytochemicals derived from natural products have previously been studied as an alternative to conventional synthetic fungicides. In this view, the current research was carried out to determine the potential use of Myrtus guajava extract to control anthracnose in mango fruits caused by ...
