A Rapid pH-Responsive Pyraclostrobin Delivery System with Enhanced Membrane Passing Property and Fungicidal Activity against Botrytis cinerea

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: March 27, 2025

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.

Multi‐Mechanism Encapsulation in a Bio‐Stimulant‐Based Smart Nanocarrier Enhances Fusarium Head Blight Control Through Synergistic Action and Triggered Release

Advanced Functional Materials, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: April 30, 2025

Abstract Fusarium Head Blight (FHB) threatens global wheat production, exacerbated by fungicide resistance. Synergistic dual‐fungicide combinations show promise, but achieving precise, environmentally‐triggered release on the target remains challenging, and traditional pesticide delivery systems have biosafety issues. To address these limitations, a bio‐stimulant‐based smart nano‐delivery system for enhanced FHB management is introduced. Utilizing bio‐stimulant‐derived polyglutamic acid natural cyclodextrin derivatives, this co‐encapsulates tebuconazole (TEB) prothioconazole (PTC) through multi‐mechanism driven loading, enabling precisely‐ratioed (M PTC :M TEB = 4:3) pH‐responsive release. By strategically employing hydrogen bonding host‐guest interactions to control electrostatic forces with hydrophobic drive assembly of nanocarrier architecture, nanoscale construct achieves predictable, tailored kinetics, maximizing synergistic antifungal activity against graminearum. The eco‐friendly exhibits biocompatibility reduces phytotoxicity, characterization reveals membrane‐like nanoparticle deposition more efficiently delivers retains fungicide. Therefore, study underscores precision via loaded bio‐stimulant nanocarriers can overcome current limitations. And work highlights importance developing bio‐based stimuli‐responsive performance, paving way sustainable, effective, environmentally responsible control.

Synthesis of Bismuth Niobate Nanoparticles Rich in Oxygen Vacancies and Efficient Degradation of Tetracycline Hydrochloride

Langmuir, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: April 7, 2025

With the increasing energy crisis and environmental pollution problems, development of solar-powered photocatalytic technologies for green efficient removal emerging pollutants from aquatic ecosystems has become an urgent need. Bismuth niobate (Bi3NbO7), as a bismuth-based photocatalyst, attracted much attention due to its unique electronic structure optical properties. However, Bi3NbO7 synthesized by traditional hydrothermal method suffers problems large size, limited active sites, harsh preparation conditions, which severely limit performance. In this study, small-sized nanoparticles (BNO-Ov-3) enriched with oxygen vacancies were successfully one-step solvothermal using ethylene glycol solvent structure-directing agent. Glycol not only inhibited grain growth reduced size micrometers nanometers, but also promoted formation through reducing property. Compared conventional method, BNO-Ov-3 enhanced degradation rate tetracycline hydrochloride (TC) 49.8% 92.1% under visible light irradiation. The mechanism performance enhancement was revealed XPS, EPR, PL characterization: synergistic effect nanosize effectively photogenerated carrier complexation charge separation transfer. This study provides strategy controlled synthesis bismuth lays theoretical foundation application in photocatalysis.
