Identification of Fusarium Basal Rot Pathogens of Onion and Evaluation of Fungicides against the Pathogens.

Onion ( L.) is an economically important vegetable crop worldwide. However, various fungal diseases, including Fusarium basal rot (FBR), neck rot, and white rot, reduce onion production or bulb storage life.

Dual anti-angiogenic and anti-metastatic activity of myriocin synergistically enhances the anti-tumor activity of cisplatin.

Purpose: Tumor microenvironment consists of various kind of cells, forming complex interactions and signal transductions for tumor growth. Due to this complexity, targeting multiple kinases could yield improved clinical outcomes. In this study, we aimed to investigate the potential of myriocin, from Mycelia sterilia, as a novel dual-kinase inhibitor and suggest myriocin as a candidate for combined chemotherapy.

The relationship of skin disorders, COVID-19, and the therapeutic potential of ginseng: a review.

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has made significant impacts on global public health, including the development of several skin diseases that have arisen primarily as a result of the pandemic. Owing to the widespread expansion of coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19), the development of effective treatments for these skin diseases is drawing attention as an important social issue. For many centuries, ginseng and its major active ingredients, ginsenosides and saponins, have been widely regarded as herbal medicines.

Wide Bandgap Transparent Conducting Electrode of FTO/Ag/FTO Structure for Ultraviolet Light-Emitting Diodes.

We investigated the effect of the Ag interlayer thickness on the structural, electrical and optical properties of FTO/Ag/FTO structures designed for use in wide bandgap transparent conducting electrodes. The top and bottom FTO layers were deposited on α-Al2O3 (0001) substrates via RF magnetron sputtering at 300 °C and Ag interlayers were deposited using an e-beam evaporator system. We optimized the figure of merit by changing the thickness of the inserted Ag interlayer from 10 nm to 14 nm, achieving a maximum value of 2.

Self-standing ZnO nanotube/SiO core-shell arrays for high photon extraction efficiency in III-nitride emitter.

Self-standing ZnO nanotube (ZNT) arrays were fabricated on the surface of a GaN-based emitter with an indium tin oxide (ITO) transparent layer using a hydrothermal method and temperature cooling down process. For the greater enhancement of photon extraction efficiency, ZNT/SiO core-shell nanostructure arrays were fabricated on the emitter with a 430 nm wavelength. The optical output power of ZNT/SiO core-shell arrays on the emitter with ITO electrode was remarkably enhanced by 18.
