Separation of cis- and trans-cypermethrin by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography.

As a pyrethroid insecticide, cypermethrin (CP) possesses three chiral centers and thus consists of eight optical isomers. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods have been established for the separation and determination of pyrethroid insecticides. In this article, we report a new reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method of separating the diastereomers of CP.

Transcriptome and expression profile analysis of highly resistant and susceptible banana roots challenged with Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense tropical race 4.

Banana wilt disease, caused by the fungal pathogen Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense 4 (Foc4), is regarded as one of the most devastating diseases worldwide.
