Tilianin content and morphological characterization of colchicine-induced autotetraploids in .

Background: Linton & Epling subsp. (Lamiaceae) is an aromatic medicinal plant, characterized by a high concentration of tilianin, a flavonoid with therapeutic potential in cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we have explored the use of colchicine to obtain autotetraploid lines of and analyze their morphological characteristics.

Nanomaterials for Plant Disease Diagnosis and Treatment: A Review.

Currently, the excessive use of pesticides has generated environmental pollution and harmful effects on human health. The controlled release of active ingredients through the use of nanomaterials (NMs) appears to reduce human exposure and ecosystem alteration. Although the use of NMs can offer an alternative to traditional methods of disease diagnosis and control, it is necessary to review the current approach to the application of these NMs.

Preliminary Bioactivity Assessment of Species (Stachybotryaceae) Crude Extracts against (Diptera: Culicidae): A First Approach from This Phytopathogenic Fungi.

Mosquitoes, as insect vectors, play a crucial role in transmitting viruses and parasites, leading to millions of human deaths in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of ethanolic extracts of three species within the genus (, , and ) on mosquito larvae to assess the inhibitory effect on growth and development, as well as to determine mortality. We quantify the average lethal concentrations and provide a qualitative characterization of the chemical groups responsible for their potential.

Behavioral report of in response to substrate infestation by and using a tetrahedron olfactometer device.

Calliphoridae are widespread globally and can inhabit a variety of habitats. In this brief report, we assessed the appeal of to resources that were previously inhabited by and , both common carrion colonizers. Two hundred adult male and female (1:1) were released under controlled conditions into clear plastic cages (45 x 45 x 45 cm) with four types of substrates: beef-liver; liver with 100 third-instar larvae of ; (III) liver containing 100 third-instar larvae of L.

Assessing the Larvicidal Properties of Endemic Campeche, Mexico Plant var. (Piperaceae) against (Diptera: Culicidae) Mosquitoes.

The research aims to investigate the mortality effect of essential oil from var. , an endemic plant from Campeche, Mexico, on early second-instar larvae; it also aims to identify the volatile compounds present in the fresh leaves of the plant. To test the effectiveness of the essential oil, we followed World Health Organization Standard Procedures.

Effiiency of the Essential Oil of Porophyllum linaria (Asteraceae) a Mexican Endemic Plant Against Sitophilus zeamais (Coleoptera: Curculionidae).

The insecticidal and repellent effect of essential oil isolated from fresh leaves of Porophyllum linaria on maize weevil was evaluated, as well as the effect on the grain germination after treated. In total, 28 constituents were identified by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry accounting for 99.86% of whole essential oil.
