We describe here a new RNA virus (PserNV1) from the plant protist parasite Phytomonas serpens (family Trypanosomatidae, Kinetoplastida, supergroup Excavata). The properties of PserNV1 permit assignment to the genus Narnavirus (Narnaviridae), the first reported from a host other than fungi or oomycetes.

On an industrial scale, the residues accumulated in essential oil distilleries can be compared to the volume of residues produced in the textile industry. Although these residues are discarded, they possess molecules with diverse biological activities, including their application in phytopathogen control. In this study, the chemical profile of the residue from the hydrodistillation of Lantana camara L.

Chalcone (E)-1,3-diphenyl-prop-2-en-1-one and a series of 14 methoxylated derivatives have been synthesized via Claisen-Schmidt aldol condensation and characterized by FTIR, CG/MS/DIC, 1D (H and C), 2D (COSY, HSQC, and HMBC) NMR, and EMAR techniques. All molecules were tested at 1 mM concentration for antifungal (Sclerotium sp., Macrophomina phaesolina and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides), antibacterial (Acidovorax citrulli two strains), and antiprotozoal (Phytomonas serpens) activities.

Chalcone is a molecule with known biological activities. Based on this, a series of chalcone derivatives bearing methyl, phenyl or furanyl substituents at different positions of A and B rings were synthesised, characterised, and evaluated regarding antiprotozoal activity. Molecules were synthesised via base catalyzed Claisen-Schmidt condensation and characterised by IR and NMR spectral data.

is a protozoan parasite that alternates its life cycle between two hosts: an invertebrate vector and the tomato fruit. This phytoflagellate is able to synthesize proteins displaying similarity to the cysteine peptidase named cruzipain, an important virulence factor from , the etiologic agent of Chagas disease. Herein, the growth of in complex medium (BHI) supplemented with natural tomato extract (NTE) resulted in the increased expression of cysteine peptidases, as verified by the hydrolysis of the fluorogenic substrate Z-Phe-Arg-AMC and by gelatin-SDS-PAGE.
