Advancing sustainable agriculture: the potential of seaweed-derived bio pesticides from marine biomass

Bioresources and Bioprocessing, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 12(1)

Published: March 22, 2025

Abstract The exploitation of marine biomass, particularly seaweeds, presents significant opportunities for sustainable biopesticide production. Seaweeds, or macroalgae are diverse photosynthetic organisms found in environments, rich bioactive compounds such as terpenoids, polyphenols, and sulphated polysaccharides. These exhibit potent pesticide properties, offering environmentally friendly alternatives to conventional chemical pesticides. biopesticides derived from seaweeds biodegradable, low toxicity non-target organisms, align with the principles environmental sustainability. growing demand organic agricultural products further underscores economic potential seaweed-based biopesticides. However, challenges scalability production, extraction efficiency, standardization bioactivity must be addressed realize this fully. Advances biorefinery approaches, technologies, formulation techniques critical overcoming these challenges. Additionally, ongoing research into synergistic effects different seaweed development innovative delivery systems will enhance efficacy commercial viability seaweed-derived This review highlights promising role emphasizing need continued interdisciplinary collaboration integrate natural practices.

Cosmeceutical Applications of Phlorotannins from Brown Seaweeds

Phycology, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 5(2), P. 15 - 15

Published: April 27, 2025

Due to the adverse effects associated with synthetic cosmetic ingredients, global demand is increasingly shifting toward natural formulations that offer diverse benefits for enhancing skin health and overall beauty. Researchers around world are extensively exploring a variety of unique secondary metabolites cosmeceutical applications. Among potential candidates, phlorotannins derived from brown seaweeds have shown significant as an active ingredient in The notable properties include antioxidant, anti-aging, whitening, anti-wrinkling, anti-inflammatory, hair growth-promoting effects, making them valuable formulations. However, date, only limited number studies critically reviewed applications phlorotannins, most outdated. Thus, present review, primary attention given collected scientific data published after 2020 about bioactive seaweed related

Effects of Glyphosate on Zebrafish(Danio Rerio)Neural Development

Published: Jan. 1, 2024

Glyphosate, as a non-selective, non-volatile, low-residue organophosphorus herbicide, has always been controversial about its neurotoxicity. In this study, the neurotoxicity of glyphosate was analyzed from four aspects: gene regulation, protein expression, morphological changes, and behavioral effects on development zebrafish nervous system were evaluated. Zebrafish embryos at 6hpf after fertilization exposed to until 72hpf 120hpf. After exposure, it found that central development-related Elavl3 down-regulated, GAP-43, Neurog1, GFAP up-regulated. The expression HuC protein, which maintains neuronal axon homeostasis, significantly is used repair injury inflammation, With regulation genes proteins, larvae showed abnormal changes in series systems, such slowing heart rate, shortening somites, spinal brain malformations. At same time, total duration low high speeds reduced, response dark-light environment stimulation delayed. summary, studies have shown exposure may induce damage inflammation system, resulting developmental malformations, motor behavior, potential This study shows environmental risks aquatic animals should be highly considered.
