The insecticide susceptibility of Waterhouse (Hemiptera: Miridae) is being evaluated using shoot and glass-vial assay as described by IRAC. However, the reliability of the assay depends on feeding preference and contact toxicity. Hence, the cocoa pod was used as a substrate to test the susceptibility of in comparison with existing methods.

Cancer is an extraordinarily complex illness, with many tumors ultimately developing resistance to the currently available therapeutics. This highlights a need for the discovery of new anticancer medicines. Natural products have been utilized for centuries by the indigenous people of Alaska for both spiritual and medicinal purposes and have traditionally been administered as medicine for a wide range of ailments from the common cold to cancer.

Coordination-driven metallo-supramolecular polymers hold significant potential as highly efficient catalysts for photocatalytic CO reduction, owing to the covalent integration of the light harvesting unit, catalytic center and intrinsic hierarchical nanostructures. In this study, we present the synthesis, characterization, and gelation behaviour of a novel low molecular weight gelator (LMWG) integrating a benzo[1,2-:4,5-']dithiophene core with terpyridine (TPY) units alkyl amide chains (TPY-BDT). The two TPY ends of the TPY-BDT unit efficiently chelate with metal ions, enabling the formation of a metallo-supramolecular polymer that brings together the catalytic center and a photosensitizer in close proximity, maximizing catalytic efficiency for CO reduction.

Tea flower, with characteristic flavor formed during blooming, are a significant tea resource. However, studies on the volatile compounds of tea flower and their aroma characteristics during flowering are scarce. In this study, the odor characteristics of tea flower during blooming were comprehensively investigated by GC-MS, PCA, ACI determination and sensory evaluation.

Hawk tea has received increasing attention for its unique flavor and potential health benefits, with antioxidant function being one of its significant bioactivities. However, the metabolic profiles, potential antioxidant components, and action mechanisms of different types of hawk tea are still unclear. In this study, the chemical components of five hawk teas were determined using untargeted metabolomics.
