Recently, the herbicide fomesafen has frequently failed to control the troublesome weed Ipomoea nil in soybean fields in Liaoning Province, China. Hence, we collected 10 suspected resistant populations and evaluated their sensitivity to fomesafen. The results revealed various degrees of Ipomoea nil resistance to fomesafen, with a resistance index of 2.

Echinochloa phyllopogon is a self-pollinating allotetraploid weed and a serious threat to global rice production. One sensitive and three multiple-resistant populations collected from two provinces of Northeast China were used to analyze the mechanism of multiple resistance of E. phyllopogon to penoxsulam, metamifop, and quinclorac.

is the causal agent of cucumber Corynespora leaf spot, which affects many economically important plant species. Chemical control of this disease is hampered by the common development of fungicide resistance. In this study, 100 isolates from Liaoning Province were collected, and their sensitivity to 12 fungicides was determined.

Sagittaria trifolia control is threatened by the emergence of resistance to acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicides. Hence, we systematically uncovered the molecular mechanism of resistance to the main herbicide (bensulfuron-methyl) in Liaoning Province from target-site and non-target-site resistance perspectives. The suspected resistant population (TR-1) exhibited high-level resistance.

Article Synopsis
  • Peanut stem rot significantly reduces peanut crop productivity, and the use of chemical fungicides contributes to environmental harm and drug resistance.
  • This study focused on a biocontrol agent, identified as strain CB13, which was isolated from pig biogas slurry and shown to effectively inhibit peanut stem rot pathogens.
  • Findings revealed that CB13 can enhance disease resistance in peanuts by improving soil microbial diversity and promoting defense enzyme activity, making it a promising eco-friendly alternative for managing peanut stem rot.

Weeds tend to develop resistance to herbicides with time. Understanding the resistance mechanisms evolved by weeds would help manage weed infestation. Sagittaria trifolia, a paddy weed found in the rice fields of Liaoning, China, has developed resistance to bensulfuron-methyl, causing severe yield losses in rice.

Terpenoids from natural plant sources are valuable for their diverse biological activities that have important roles in the medical and agrochemical industries. In this study, we assessed the antioxidant, antifungal, and aphicidal activities of a mixture of spinasterol and 22,23-dihydrospinasterol from the leaves of Citrullus colocynthis. We used 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) to assess antioxidant activity, and we measured antifungal activity using mycelium growth inhibition assays with three pathogenic fungi, Magnaporthe grisea, Rhizoctonia solani, and Phytophthora infestans.
