Article Abstract
In this work, the molecular recognition of dimethomorph by disulfide bridged β-cyclodextrin (SS-β-CD) was studied by UV spectroscopy, D NMR, and molecular modeling. The results indicated that the SS-β-CD/dimethomorph was more stable than β-CD/dimethomorph, which is ascribed to the fact that the disulfide chain plays an important role in stabilizing the appropriate dual-CD conformation and also promoting the inclusion of the host and guest. In addition, a robust fluorescence method for dimethomorph sensing has been developed based on competitive host-guest interaction by selecting safranine T (ST) as optical indicator and SS-β-CD functionalized reduced graphene oxide (SS-β-CD-RGO) as the receptor. Upon the presence of dimethomorph to the pre-formed SS-β-CD-RGO·ST complex, the ST molecule is displaced by dimethomorph, leading to a "switch-on" fluorescence response. That is due to the fact that the binding constant of the dimethomorph/SS-β-CD complex was more than 5 times greater than that of ST/SS-β-CD. The fluorescence intensity of SS-β-CD-RGO·ST complex increased linearly with increasing concentration of dimethomorph ranging from 0.50 to 20.0μM. The proposed method showed a detection limit of 0.11μM for dimethomorph, and was successfully applied for the determination of dimethomorph residues in vegetables (cabbage, spinach) and environmental samples (water, soil) with good precision and recoveries from 96.5% to 104%.

The γ-butyrolactone scaffold, commonly present in natural products and bioactive compounds, has played a crucial role in the development of novel pesticides. In this study, a series of α-methylene-γ-butyrolactone derivatives containing a diphenyl ether moiety were designed and synthesized using the scaffold splicing strategy. Bioassays revealed that several target compounds demonstrated potent fungicidal activities, particularly against and .

Dimethomorph (DMT) is a widely-used selective active fungicide that effectively controls downy mildew, crown rot, and late blight in crops. The extensive application of DMT raises concerns about its ecological impact on non-target organisms in the environment. However, there is limited understanding of the toxicological properties of DMT on these organisms.

Article Synopsis
- Phytophthora infestans is a serious pathogen causing late blight disease in potatoes, impacting them throughout their growth stages and spreading quickly.
- Field experiments in the 2020-21 and 2021-22 winter seasons tested the effectiveness of novel fungicides, showing that certain treatments resulted in the lowest disease incidence and highest tuber yields.
- The study found that late blight is positively correlated with temperature, humidity, and sunlight, and the use of specific fungicides significantly reduced disease severity and increased profitability compared to untreated controls.
In accordance with Article 43 of Regulation (EC) No 396/2005, the European Commission requested EFSA to perform a targeted risk assessment for dimethomorph considering the residue definition and the toxicological reference values (TRVs) derived during the renewal of the approval of dimethomorph and the most recent version of the EFSA Pesticide Residues Intake Model (PRIMo) (rev.3.1).

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the presence and distribution of neonicotinoid insecticides (NNIs) and agricultural fungicides in the Yangtze River using samples collected from 72 points during both dry and wet seasons.
- - Most NNIs, such as acetamiprid and imidacloprid, were frequently detected, with concentrations ranging from 0.06 to 3.63 ng/L, while transformation products (TPs) of these chemicals showed high detection rates as well.
- - Agricultural fungicides, particularly carbendazim and azoxystrobin, were found in nearly all samples, with their concentrations reaching up to 26.8 ng/L, indicating significant contamination levels in the river water
