Bioactive Molecules Derived from Plants in Managing Dengue Vector (Linn.).

Mosquitoes are the potential vectors of several viral diseases such as filariasis, malaria, dengue, yellow fever, Zika fever and encephalitis in humans as well as other species. Dengue, the most common mosquito-borne disease in humans caused by the dengue virus is transmitted by the vector . Fever, chills, nausea and neurological disorders are the frequent symptoms of Zika and dengue.

Seed treatment and foliar application of methyl salicylate (MeSA) as a defense mechanism in rice plants against the pathogenic bacterium, Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae.

Methyl salicylate (MeSA) is a volatile biological compound synthesized from salicylic acid (SA) and is a plant hormone that helps defend against pests and pathogens. A major bacterial pathogen of rice, Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) causes severe disease.

Iron incorporated heterogeneous catalyst from rice husk ash.

Silica supported iron catalyst was prepared from rice husk ash (RHA) via the sol-gel technique using an aqueous solution of iron(III) salt in 3.0 M HNO3. The sample was dried at 110 degrees C and labeled as RHA-Fe.
