The present research investigated the effects of different levels of inoculum density of (100, 500, 1000, 1500, and 2000 second-stage juveniles (J2s)/plant) on tomato growth, physiological, and biochemical changes at 7, 14, 21, and 28 days post-inoculation (dpi).

Uncovering the Chemosensory System of a Subterranean Termite, (Shiraki) (Isoptera: Termitidae): Revealing the Chemosensory Genes and Gene Expression Patterns.

Termites are eusocial insects. Chemical signals between colony members are crucial to the smooth running of colony operations, but little is known about their olfactory system and the roles played by various chemosensory genes in this process. Chemosensory genes are involved in basic olfactory perception in insects.

Characterization and Effect of a Nematophagous Fungus sp. nov. for the Biological Control of Corn Cyst Nematode.

The dynamic of plant-parasitic nematode populations in soil is closely related to soil microorganisms. Fungi from cysts were isolated to explore the phenomenon of decline in the population in the soil. Phylogenetic study of partial ITS, , , and gene sequences, in addition to morphological investigations, was utilized to identify a nematode-destroying fungus.

Efficacy of GX3' Fermentation against in Tomato ( L.).

is one of the most virulent root-knot nematodes (RKNs). Raoul Mosseray, 1934, is used to produce bioactive substances, enzymes, and secondary metabolites. However, no research has been conducted yet on the efficacy of against plant-parasitic nematodes.

Insights into the Effects of Insecticides on Aphids (Hemiptera: Aphididae): Resistance Mechanisms and Molecular Basis.

With the passage of time and indiscreet usage of insecticides on crops, aphids are becoming resistant to their effect. The different classes of insecticides, including organophosphates, carbamates, pyrethroids and neonicotinoids, have varied effects on insects. Furthermore, the molecular effects of these insecticides in aphids, including effects on the enzymatic machinery and gene mutation, are resulting in aphid resistance to the insecticides.

risk to agriculture, its present status and future prospective for management.

, commonly known as guava root-knot nematode, poses risk due to its widespread distribution and extensive host range. This species is recognized as the most virulent root-knot nematode (RKN) species because it can emerge and breed in plants that have resistance to other tropical RKNs. They cause chlorosis, stunting, and yield reductions in host plants by producing many root galls.

Comparative Assessment of Phytoconstituents, Antioxidant Activity and Chemical Analysis of Different Parts of Milk Thistle L.

L. is a therapeutic plant belonging to the family Asteraceae, which has exhibited silymarin, a principal component used to cure various physiochemical disorders. The study appraised the phytochemical analysis, antioxidant activity and chemical analysis of an extract from the seed, stem and leaves.

Biodiversity and Community Analysis of Plant-Parasitic and Free-Living Nematodes Associated with Maize and Other Rotational Crops from Punjab, Pakistan.

Maize ( L.) is one of Pakistan's essential staple food crops. Plant-parasitic nematodes (PPNs) are a significant restraint in maize production.

Evaluation of Scopoletin from Snef1650 for the Control of in Soybean.

Soybean cyst nematode (SCN) ( Ichinohe) is responsible for causing a major soybean disease globally. The fungal strain Snef1650 was evaluated against . However, the effective determinants of the strain are unknown.

iTRAQ-Based Proteomic Analysis Reveals the Role of the Biological Control Agent, Strain Sneb183, in Enhancing Soybean Resistance Against the Soybean Cyst Nematode.

The soybean cyst nematode (SCN), Ichinohe, poses a serious threat to soybean production worldwide. Biological control agents have become eco-friendly candidates to control pathogens. Our previous study indicated that the biocontrol agent, strain Sneb183, may induce soybean resistance to SCN.

In vitro evaluation of Penicillium chrysogenum Snef1216 against Meloidogyne incognita (root-knot nematode).

Root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne incognita) is chief plant parasitic nematode of various crops globally. Meanwhile, the negative side effects on human health and environmental concerns associated with haphazard uses of chemical nematicides. Hence, the search for a safe and effective approach is more relevant.

Mycochemical Screening and Analysis, Antioxidant Activity, and Biochemical Composition of Fermentation Strain Snef1216 ().

Antioxidants are the radical scavengers that inhibit peroxidation and other free-radical processes, which in return safeguard different organisms from various diseases attributed to radical reactions. Synthetic antioxidants inhibit free radicals, but they also have harmful side effects. However, mycochemicals of natural fungal origin are safe and best substitutes for harmful synthetic chemical antioxidants.
