Root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne incognita) severely limit cotton (Gossypium spp.) productivity, with conventional control methods facing ecological and efficacy challenges. Here, we evaluate a fungal peptidogalactomann (pGM), derived from Cladosporium herbarum (commercially formulated as Hariman), as a novel b...

The production of cultivated meat relies on in vitro animal cell growth and requires the use of scaffolds that structurally resemble key features of the extracellular matrix (ECM), providing mechanical support and biochemical cues for cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation. Electrospin...

Cowpea mild mottle virus (CPMMV) is a carlavirus that is transmitted by whiteflies and can also be spread through seeds in cowpea, soybean, and common bean. Seed transmission of CPMMV has been described in various countries; however, it was only recently reported in Brazil as&...

Recurrent drought episodes, increasingly intensified by climate change, pose a growing threat to global food security by severely limiting crop productivity. Major latex-like proteins (MLPs) play crucial roles in drought tolerance, acting as regulators of stress responses. However, their involvement&#...

Rice is essential to global food security, and its crops are challenged by the presence of Aeschynomene Fabaceae (jointvetch), whose control by herbicides generates environmental, health and resistance risks. Thus, this study aims to characterizing the assemblage of phytophagous insects associate...

Isocyanides constitute a valuable class of organic compounds widely employed in multicomponent reactions (MCRs), heterocycle synthesis, and drug discovery. However, their broader application is limited by low commercial availability and hazardous classical synthetic methods. Herein, we report a greener...

This study quantified total biomass stocks in Carrasco (CAR, n = 12), a dense tropical deciduous vegetation type from the Brazilian semi-arid region for which biomass information remains scarce. We also evaluated differences in floristic composition, diversity, structure, and biomass allocation&#...

Na última década, alguns ácaros fitófagos foram introduzidos nas Américas onde vem causando danos a culturas agrícolas relevantes e acentuado impacto sócioeconômico. Entre estes destacam-se o ácaro vermelho das palmeiras, Raoiella indica Hirst; o ácaro da erinose da lichia, Aceria litchii Ke...

Atualmente considera-se que a integração de fontes de informação independentes e complementares – por exemplo, dados moleculares, detalhado estudo morfológico, dados biológicos, ecológicos e comportamentais – possibilitam a construção de uma sistemática sólida dos para os diversos grupos de organismos...
