Phytopathogenic fungi are responsible for diseases in commercially important crops and cause major supply problems the global food chain. Plants were able to protect themselves from disease before humans played an active role protecting plants. They known synthesize a variety of secondary metabolites (SMs), such as terpenes, alkaloids, phenolic compounds, which can be extracted using conventional unconventional techniques formulate biofungicides; plant extracts have antifungal activity various mechanisms action against these organisms. In addition, they considered non-phytotoxic potentially effective control. sustainable economically viable alternative use agriculture, is why biofungicides increasingly recognized attractive option solve caused by synthetic fungicides. Currently, organic farming continues grow, highlighting importance developing environmentally friendly alternatives crop production.

ABSTRACT RNA‐based biopesticides, heralding the third revolution in agricultural pest and disease control, emerge as pivotal for sustainable aquaculture China. This review delves into background, evolution, applications of RNA emphasizing their transformative impact on management. biopesticides offer myriad advantages. Utilizing dsRNA formulations ensures species‐specific targeting, thereby minimizing effects nontarget organisms. Swift environmental degradation addresses concerns about residual pollution. Crucially, host’s genetic structure remains unchanged, averting heritable variations. Additionally, resistance challenges are easily mitigated through targeted gene replacement. Nevertheless, impede technology’s full potential. Factors such target selection, varying effectiveness across pests, susceptibility to pathogen can influence overall efficacy. The widespread use pesticides prompts scrutiny organisms’ immune systems, necessitating meticulous consideration exogenous biosafety. Furthermore, assessing toxicity viruses microorganisms carriers is crucial. High production costs lower efficiency large‐scale compared conventional demand urgent attention. Future research should prioritize optimization delivery systems improve stability targeting precision. Investigating integration with other practices may further mitigate impacts. Moreover, advancements cost‐effective techniques regulatory frameworks will be critical enabling adoption securing role future management global diseases.

Transitional waters (TWs) are relevant ecological and economical ecosystems that include estuaries, deltas, bays, wetlands, marshes, coastal lakes, lagoons play a central role in providing food, protecting environments, regulating nutrients. However, human activities such as industrialization, urbanization, tourism, agriculture threatening these ecosystems, which results contamination habitat degradation. Therefore, it is essential to evaluate TW develop effective management protection strategies. This study analyses the application of geospatial technologies (GTS) for monitoring predicting contaminant distribution TW. Cartography, interpolation, complex spatial methods, remote sensing were applied assess profiles by heavy metals, persistent organic compounds, analyze indices or some physicochemical water parameters. It concluded integrating environmental demographic data with GTS would help identify critical points promote ecosystem resilience ensure long-term health well-being. review comprehensively analyzes indicators, used transitional conjunction GTS. offers valuable foundation planning future research on pollution types other similar bodies worldwide.

Mycoviral infection can either be asymptomatic or have marked effects on fungal hosts, influencing them positively negatively. To fully understand the of mycovirus host, transcriptomic profiling four Beauveria bassiana isolates, including EABb 92/11-Dm that harbors mycoviruses, was performed 48 h following Tenebrio molitor via topical application injection. Genes participate in carbohydrate assimilation and transportation, those essential for survival oxidative stress tolerance, calcium uptake, iron were found to overexpressed virus-infected isolate during mid-infection stage. Mycotoxin genes encoding bassianolide oosporein switched off all isolates. However, beauvericin, a mycotoxin capable inducing at molecular level, expressed indicating an important contribution virulence against T. molitor. These observations suggest detoxification immune-related (oxidative) defenses nutrient scouting, as mediated by these genes, occurs internal growth phase. Consequently, we observe symbiotic relationship between fungus does not afflict host; contrary, it enhances expression key leading mycovirus-mediated hypervirulence effect.
