Modified lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of Pragia fontium were obtained with germanium complexes (IV) of 2-aminobenzoylhydrazon of salicylic aldehyde (2-NH2-H2Bs), 2-hydroxybenzoylhydrazon salicylic aldehyde (2-OH-H2Bs) and nicotinoylhydrazon of salicylic aldehyde (H2Ns). The modification of LPS was confirmed by IR spectroscopy. Comparative investigations of pyrogenic activity of native and modified LPS showed, that only P. fontium 20125 LPS, modified by germanium complexes with 2-hydroxybenzoylhydrazon of salicylic aldehyde (2-OH-H2Bs) has lost the pyrogenic activity. In the homological reactions of double immunodiffusion in agar it was shown that all modified LPS unlike the native ones lose completely antigenic activity.

The poplar bark beetle (Coleoptera: Scolytidae) is a key pest of poplar trees (Malpighiales: Salicaceae, genus ) across northern Spain. However, among the more than 200 poplar clones available on the market, the clone USA 184-411 has the highest susceptibility to attacks. We tested the hypothesis that compounds released by the most susceptible poplar clone chemically mediate behavior.

The title compound, CHClFNO, was synthesized by the condensation between tri-fluoro-methyl-aniline and di-chloro-salicyl-aldehyde by nucleophilic addition, forming a hemiaminal, followed by a dehydration to generate an imine. The compound crystallizes in an ortho-rhom-bic ( = 8) space group with a dihedral angle of 44.70 (5)° between the two aromatic rings.

In orthopedic practice, accommodating irregular defects caused by trauma or surgery with traditional preformed bone graft substitutes is often challenging. As a result, injectable hydrogels with seed cells have garnered significant interest in bone repair due to their adaptability and minimally invasive properties. However, they cannot simultaneously achieve injectability and mechanical properties, providing a biophysical and biochemical environment for cell support.

High selenium (Se) levels can induce toxicity, inhibit growth, and affect gene expression and metabolite content in plants. However, the molecular mechanism by which high Se stress affects soybean plants remains unclear. This study examined the responses of soybean leaves and roots to high Se stress using transcriptome and metabolome analyses.

Boron is an essential micronutrient for plant growth and productivity, yet excessive boron leads to toxicity, posing significant challenges for agriculture. Fragrant rice is popular among consumers, but the impact of boron toxicity on qualitative traits of fragrant rice, especially aroma, remains largely unexplored. The individual potentials of melatonin and salicylic acid in reducing boron toxicity are less known, while their synergistic effects and mechanisms in fragrant rice remain unclear.
