To increase the bioavailability of plant protection products, we have applied a new approach based on noncovalent association with natural water-soluble polysaccharides and oligosaccharides as delivery systems (DSs). The mechanochemical technique has been applied to prepare the solid-state nanodispersed compositions of antidote 1,8-naphthalic anhydride (NA) with arabinogalactan, sodium salt of carboxymethylcellulose, and glycyrrhizin as DSs. The effect of DSs on the solubility and the penetration of NA into the seeds of barley and wheat has been investigated by various physicochemical techniques. All DSs considerably enhance the solubility of NA and improve its penetration into the grain. The influence of polysaccharides and oligosaccharides on artificial lipid membranes was studied by the NMR relaxation method. It was concluded that the effect of polysaccharides and oligosaccharides on the penetration efficacy of plant protection products might be associated with the detected solubility enhancement and the affinity of DSs to the surface of cell membranes.

Sweetpotato Stem Rot Nematode () causes the most devastating disease affecting sweetpotato production in China. The objectives of this study were: i) establish a quantification method using real-time PCR for of sweetpotato; ii) analyze the effect of density at harvest on the percentage of disease incidence in sweetpotatoes; and iii) evaluate the effect of soil physical properties on disease incidence. Populations of isolated from 28 different production areas in Henan Province exhibited identical sequences, and then real-time PCR specific primers (PRNf and PRNr) were designed.

Manglietia decidua is an extremely endangered species, known for its limited population and a narrow distribution range restricted to China (Yu 1994). In October 2021, a leaf disease affecting the foliage of 3-year-old M. decidua was observed at the nursery garden of the Yichun Forestry Institute of Jiangxi Province (27°55'52.

The principle of the "growth-defense trade-off" governs how plants adjust their growth and defensive strategies in response to external factors, impacting interactions among plants, herbivorous insects, and their natural enemies. Mineral nutrients are crucial in modulating plant growth and development through their bottom-up effects. Emerging evidence has revealed complex regulatory networks that link mineral nutrients to plant defense responses, influencing the delicate balance between growth and defense against herbivores.
