Laureliopsis philippiana (Looser) R. Schodde (Monimiaceae) is a native tree widespread in the forest areas in the south of Chile and Argentina, known for its medicinal properties and excellent wood. The aim of this study was to evaluate the chemical composition of L. philippiana leaf and bark essential oils (EOs) using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and to quantify its anti-oomycete activity, specifically against Saprolegnia parasitica and S. australis. Only six components were identified in leaf EO, 96.92% of which are phenylpropanoids and 3.08% are terpenes. As for bark EO, 29 components were identified, representing 67.61% for phenylpropanoids and 32.39% for terpenes. Leaf EO was characterized mainly by safrole (96.92%) and β-phellandrene (1.80%). Bark EO was characterized mainly by isosafrole (30.07%), safrole (24.41%), eucalyptol (13.89%), methyleugenol (7.12%), and eugenol (6.01%). Bark EO has the most promising anti-Saprolegnia activity, with a minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) value of 30.0 µg/mL against mycelia growth and a minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) value of 50.0 μg/mL against spores; for leaf EO, the MIC and MFC values are 100 and 125 µg/mL, respectively. These findings demonstrate that bark EO has potential to be developed as a remedy for the control of Saprolegnia spp. in aquaculture.

A significant population of biocontrol microorganisms resides in the rhizosphere of plants, which can be utilized for plant disease control. To explore the potential of rhizosphere soil microorganisms as biocontrol agents against pepper blight, a bacterial strain Pa608 was screened from rhizosphere soil of pepper and identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa through morphological characteristics and 16S rRNA sequences. The result showed that the strain Pa608 demonstrated antagonistic activity against Phytophthora capsici, effectively suppressing mycelial growth.

Oleanolic acid is a pentacyclic triterpenoid extracted and isolated from the fruit of plants in the Ligustrum lucidum Ait. in the family Oleaceae. To discover biorational natural product-based pesticides, a series of oleanolic acid derivatives containing anhydride active skeletons were prepared by ingeniously introducing an active acyloxy group at its C-28 carboxyl position, and their structures were well characterized by H-NMR, C NMR, HRMS, and m.

Article Synopsis
- Picarbutrazox is a newly discovered fungicide that is effective against specific oomycetes like Phytophthora and Pythium, though it shows limited antifungal activity.
- In laboratory tests, it demonstrated strong inhibition of growth and reproduction in various oomycetes, particularly Phytophthora capsici.
- Under greenhouse conditions, picarbutrazox outperformed a standard fungicide (dimethomorph) in protecting and curing infected pepper plants, and it is noted for its excellent ability to move within the plant.

Background: The natural product paeonol is a rich and sustainable natural bioresource, and its derivatives have various unique biological efficacy. As is well known, Schiff bases are a class of organic compounds with a wide range of biological activities, including anti-fungal, insecticidal, anti-viral, and nematicidal.
Results: To discover biorational natural product-based pesticides, nine intermediates (2-10), 12 sulfonylhydrazones (11a-11c, 12a-12c, 13a-13c, and 14a-14c) and 20 benzylidene hydrazones (18a-18r, 19a, and 20a) were synthesized by structural modification of paeonol, and their structures were characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (H NMR), carbon-13 (C) NMR, and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS).
