Current Research Status, Opportunities, and Future Challenges of Nine Representative Persistent Herbicides.

Pesticides are extensively utilized in contemporary agriculture to manage pests, enhance crop yields, and sustain productivity. Nevertheless, the persistent herbicide represents a dual-edged weapon. On one hand, their prolonged efficacy enables reduced application frequency during crop growth seasons, resulting in cost savings on labor.

[Effects of allicin on insulin resistance and free fatty acid levels in obese rats with periodontitis].

Purpose: To explore the effects of allicin on insulin resistance and free fatty acids (FFAs) levels in obese rats with periodontitis.

Methods: Forty rats were randomly divided into healthy group, periodontitis group, and low, medium and high dose groups, with 8 rats in each group. The healthy group was healthy rats, and the other groups were induced by sodium glutamate(MSG).

SlGSTE9 participates in the stability of chlorpyrifos resistance in Spodoptera litura.

Background: Spodoptera litura is an important agricultural pest and has developed serious resistance to multiple insecticides. The resistance level to several insecticides is reported to be unstable, but the mechanism is less reported.

Results: Chlorpyrifos and phoxim resistance level in a field-collected population of S.

Characterization of resistance and fitness cost of Descurainia sophia L. populations from Henan and Xinjiang, China.

Descurainia sophia L. is a notorious weed in winter wheat field and has serious resistance to tribenuron-methyl. Xinjiang is a main wheat production region in China with no information on D.

Functional Analysis of in Pyrethroid and Organophosphate Resistance in .

Glutathione -transferase genes in the epsilon group were reported to function in insecticide resistance. was validated to be overexpressed in pyrethroid- and organophosphate-resistant populations of compared to a susceptible population. A functional study of heterologously expressed SlGSTE12 showed that and for 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) conjugating activity were 0.
