The phytopathogenic effect of the pseudomallei group Burkholderia is demonstrated on the Peireskia aculeata model. A method for evaluation of the effect is suggested. The effect correlates with the levels of Burkholderia pseudomallei, Burkholderia mallei, and Burkholderia thailandensis virulence for laboratory animals. P. aculeata can be used as a model for preliminary studies of the virulence of the above species.

Article Synopsis
- Macauba (Acrocomia aculeata) is a promising non-domesticated palm species with potential for oil production, comparable to the commercially used oil palm, driving interest in its genetic study for domestication efforts.
- The study utilized various genotyping strategies to identify SNPs in 201 palms and performed GWAS to associate genetic traits with vegetative and oil production characteristics, despite lacking a reference genome.
- Results indicated significant genetic variation among traits, with heritability values suggesting the presence of favorable genotypes for breeding programs; a total of 92 significant SNPs were identified in single-trait GWAS using de novo data.

Orphan perennial native species are gaining importance as sustainability in agriculture becomes crucial to mitigate climate change. Nevertheless, issues related to the undomesticated status and lack of improved germplasm impede the evolution of formal agricultural initiatives. - neotropical palm with potential for oil production - is an example.

The study aimed to evaluate the antithrombotic action of pulp oil (AAPO) in natura, in an in vitro experimental model. AAPO was obtained by solvent extraction, and its chemical characterization was performed by gas chromatography coupled to a mass spectrometer (GC-MS). In vitro toxicity was evaluated with the Trypan Blue exclusion test and in vivo by the model.

The process of green synthesis of metal nanoparticles is considered to be eco-friendly and cost-effective. In this study, bimetallic Ag@Se-P and Ag@Se-S nanoparticles were synthesized successfully using aerial parts and seed extracts. The phytochemical contents in aerial parts and seed aqueous extract serve as reducing and stabilizing capping agents without the need for any chemical stabilization additive in the synthesis of bimetallic nanoparticles.

The removal of pollutants from tannery wastewaters, which is renowned for its substantial volumes, intricate composition, and considerable hazards to human health and the environment, is a prominent research area in the field of water treatment. The aim of this study is to employ a bio-coagulant derived from seeds and a bio-flocculant derived from to minimise the concentration of pollutants in the combined wastewater originating from tanneries. In the course of the research, a thorough physicochemical analysis of the coagulating and flocculating agents, (PA) and (HE), was performed using techniques such as XRD (X-ray diffraction), FTIR (Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy), and SEM-EDS (scanning electron microscopy-energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy).
