Pydiflumetofen is a new succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor fungicide, and the method for determination of its residues in rice and associated environmental samples has not yet been reported. Here, we optimized, Quick Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, Safe (QuEChERS) method for sample preparation, and used high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) to detect the residual amounts of pydiflumetofen in rice and its environment. The results showed that there was a good linearity over the pydiflumetofen concentration range of 0.01-0.1 mg/L in all matrices (R > 0.99). At the spiked levels of 0.01, 0.05, and 0.1 mg/kg, the recovery rates of pydiflumetofen from various matrices were between 84.23 and 105.10 %, with the relative standard deviation of 1.07-9.99 %. The limit of detection (signal-to-noise ratio = 3) of the proposed method for pydiflumetofen was in the range of 1.9-3.5 µg/kg, and the limit of quantification (signal-to-noise ratio = 10) was in the range of 6.3-11.7 µg/kg.

Anions have more pronounced effect on the aggregation power of proteins than cations. Herein, the effect of different types of anions on rice glutelin (RG) based fibrils formation was investigated. The fibrils yield and growth rate of RG were enhanced with various anions, due to the specific ions effect and intermolecular interaction.

The biomethanization of lignocellulosic wastes remains an inefficient and complex process due to lignin structures that hinder the hydrolysis step, therefore, some treatments are required. This work describes the addition of an enriched microbial consortium in the biomethanization of rice straw. The experiment was carried out in lab batch reactors following two strategies: (i) pretreatment of rice straw for 48 h using the enriched microbial consortium (dilution 1:100), and (ii) addition of this enriched microbial consortium (dilution 1:100) directly to the anaerobic reactors (bioaugmentation).

Mycotoxins are detectable in 60-80% of food crops, posing significant threats to human health and food security, and causing substantial economic losses. Most mitigation approaches focus on detecting mycotoxins with standard methods based on liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Typical MS methods require extensive sample preparation and clean-up due to the matrix effect, followed by time-consuming LC separation, complicating the analysis process and limiting analytical throughput.

: BABY BOOM (BBM), a transcription factor from the APETALA2 (AP2) protein family, plays a critical role in somatic embryo induction and apomixis. has now been widely applied to induce apomixis or enhance plant transformation and regeneration efficiency through overexpression or ectopic expression. However, the structural and functional evolutionary history of genes in plants is still not well understood.

The search for alternative material sources to conventional ones has had a significant impact on the construction sector today, driven by the implementation of sustainable development policies on a global scale. Alternative cementitious materials, such as agricultural industry by-products, have been introduced to ensure the efficient use of renewable natural resources while promoting a balance between the technical and economic aspects of infrastructure projects. This article provides an overview of research conducted on the use of pozzolans derived from agro-industrial by-products, such as rice husk ash (RHA), palm oil fuel ash (POFA), and sugarcane bagasse ash (SCBA), which have a high content of amorphous silica.
