Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is one of the fungi that cause plant diseases. It damages plants by secreting large amounts oxalic acid and cell wall-degrading enzymes. To meet this challenge, we designed a new pH/enzyme dual-responsive nanopesticide Pro@ZnO@Pectin (PZP). This uses zinc oxide (ZnO) as carrier prochloraz (Pro) encapsulated with pectin. When encountering released sclerotiorum, acidic environment promotes decomposition ZnO; at same time, pectinase produced can also decompose outer pectin layer PZP, thereby promoting effective release active ingredient. Experimental data showed PZP was able to achieve an efficient rate 57.25% 68.46% when added or under conditions, respectively. In addition, in vitro tests antifungal effect comparable commercial Pro (Pro SC) on market, its efficacy 1.40 times 1.32 original drug TC), Crucially, application significantly alleviated detrimental impacts wheat development. Soil wetting experiments have proved primarily remained soil, decreasing likelihood contaminating water sources reducing potential risks non-target organisms. Moreover, improved foliar wettability Pro, lowering contact angle 75.06°. Residue analyses indicated did not elevate residue levels tomato fruits compared conventional applications, indicating formulation does lead excessive pesticide buildup. summary, shows great promise for effectively managing while minimizing environmental impact.

Abstract Hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) has emerged as a novel endogenous gas signaling molecule, joining the ranks of nitric oxide (NO) and carbon monoxide (CO). Recent research highlighted its involvement in various physiological processes, such promoting root organogenesis, regulating stomatal movement photosynthesis, enhancing plant growth, development, stress resistance. Tobacco, significant cash crop crucial for farmers’ economic income, relies heavily on development to affect leaf disease resistance, chemical composition, yield. Despite importance, there remains scarcity studies investigating role H S tobacco growth. This study exposed seedlings different concentrations NaHS (an exogenous donor) − 0, 200, 400, 600, 800 mg/L. Results indicated positive correlation between concentration length, wet weight, activity, antioxidant enzymatic activities (CAT, SOD, POD) roots. Transcriptomic metabolomic analyses revealed that treatment with 600 mg/L significantly effected 162 key genes, 44 enzymes, two metabolic pathways (brassinosteroid synthesis aspartate biosynthesis) seedlings. The addition not only promoted but also potentially reduced pesticide usage, contributing more sustainable ecological environment. Overall, this sheds light primary involved response NaHS, offering new genetic insights future investigations into development.

As the second most important fungal pathogen, Botrytis cinerea (B. cinerea) poses a serious threat to crop yields and agricultural safety. Pyraclostrobin (PYR), broad-spectrum QoI fungicide, has been widely utilized since its launch in 2003. However, inhibitory effects of both PYR technical formulations on B. are not outstanding. Even at concentration 50 μg/mL, inhibition rates by remain below 85%. In this work, we prepared an acid-responsive Pickering emulsion encapsulating (PYR@BTIB-PE), which completely inhibited low concentrations (25 μg/mL) for first time. The PYR@BTIB-PE achieved fragmentation release within 4 min pH 5, was consistent with around cinerea. can rapidly when infected increased cinerea, thereby enhancing efficacy PYR. addition, released organic solvent from enhanced passing property membrane, facilitating more enter body improvement membrane rapid response worked together achieve complete Furthermore, flexible amphiphilic structures interaction leaf surface, suppressed droplet splashing, promoted spreading, reducing pesticide loss improving utilization rate pesticide. This study presents efficient strategy inhibiting is also expected be extended other antifungal preparations.
