Mg(OH)2 was used as the nanocarrier of Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) Cry1Ac protein, and synthesized Cry1Ac–Mg(OH)2 composites were regular uniform nanosheets. Nano-Mg(OH)2 could effectively improve insecticidal effect protein toward Ectropis obliqua. It enhance damage degree to intestinal epithelial cells microvilli, induce enrich production reactive oxygen species (ROS) in midgut, degradation into active fragments. Furthermore, an anti-rinsing assay showed that bound notch structure tea leaf surface. The retention increased by 11.45%, sprayed nano-Mg(OH)2 rapidly absorbed different tissues plants. Moreover, did not significantly affect non-target organisms. These results show can serve a safe effective biopesticide carrier, which provides new approach for stable efficient Bt preparation.

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 15(37), С. 43282 - 43293

Опубликована: Сен. 6, 2023

Soil salinization is one of the global ecological and environmental problems that are tremendously threatening to sustainable development agriculture food supply. In this work, a facile strategy was proposed enhance salt stress resistance plants by preparing salicylic acid (SA)-functionalized mesoporous silica nanocarriers loaded with emamectin benzoate (EB). The obtained nanopesticides demonstrated particle size less than 300 nm. As an endogenous plant hormone, grafting SA in nanopesticide system improved uptake translocation pesticides cucumber 145.06%, applications such enhanced plants. This phenomenon accounted for SA-functionalized increasing superoxide dismutase peroxidase activities (640 175%, respectively) reducing malondialdehyde content (54.10%), correspondingly alleviating accumulation reactive oxygen species cell damage above results were also confirmed Evans blue staining NBT experiments on leaves. addition, these exhibited high insecticidal toxicity, they biosafety toward nontarget organisms due their sustained release property. Therefore, work developed biosafe system, newly have potential agricultural field enhancing

Abstract BACKGROUND Citrus canker caused by Xanthomonas citri subsp. (Xcc) is a devastating bacterial disease that reduces citrus yield and quality, posing serious threat to the industry. Several conventional chemicals have been used control canker. However, this approach often leads excessive use of chemical agents, can exacerbate environmental pollution promotes development resistant Xcc. Therefore, there significant interest in efficient environmentally friendly technologies RESULTS In study, water‐soluble ZnO quantum dots (ZnO QDs) were synthesised as an nanopesticide against The results showed antibacterial activity QDs irradiated with visible light [half‐maximal effective concentration (EC 50 ) = 33.18 μg mL −1 ] was ~3.5 times higher than dark‐treated group 114.80 ). induced generation reactive oxygen species (•OH, •O − 2 1 O under irradiation, resulting DNA damage, cytoplasmic destruction, decreased catalase superoxide dismutase activities. Transcription analysis downregulation Xcc genes related ‘biofilms, virulence, adhesion’ ‘DNA transfer’ exposure QDs. More importantly, also promoted growth citrus.

Nano-TiO2 as an antimicrobial inorganic material, can stimulate cells to produce reactive oxygen species and exhibit effective biochemical properties; however, phenylpyrazole derivatives, organic pesticides, are widely used in agriculture food. To find novel pesticides with environmental friendliness, combined three-dimensional quantitative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) prediction analysis, three types of alkaloidal amine derivatives (PA) were synthesized by a one-pot microwave method. Based on the dye sensitization strategy, four nano-organometallic (PT) prepared organic-inorganic hybridization. PA PT showed 2.5 5.2 times higher insecticidal activity against P. xylostella than fipronil, had 3.9 greater antibacterial A. tumefaciens. The synergistic effect realizes balance amphiphilicity, enhances biological PT, improves phloem fluidity, promotes absorption transportation substances. In addition, this reduces band gap width, light capacity, induces active free radicals (ROS: ·O2-, ·OH), destroys cytomembrane so that better enter cell, resulting cell death. has excellent natural self-degradation performance converts parent moiety, which greatly residues, implying pesticide provides new idea for its degradation fluorescence detection residues.
