The soil-plant system can act as a prevailing zone of pesticide dissipation in agroecosystems, which may influence leaching following rainfall events. Here we examined the contribution leaching, and degradation widely used anilide pesticides planted unplanted mesocosms with contrasting vineyard forest soils. were spiked at 25 mg/kg acetochlor, alachlor, S-metolachlor, butachlor metalaxyl, follo...

Phytophthora cactorum, Ph. cambivora, Ph. cinnamomi, Ph. citricola, Ph. cryptogea, Ph. drechsleri, Ph. infestans, Ph. megasperma, Ph. parasitica, and Ph. syringae contain GSH-conjugation systems as indicated by the presence of active GST enzyme in addition to GSH. Basal levels of both GSH and GST in the thalli of Phytophthora strains studied did not correlate with either fungal sensitivity to p...

During 2017 the herbicides alachlor, atrazine, butachlor, metolachlor, and simazine were detected in water samples, beach sediments marine biota collected at Camps Bay, Cape Town, South Africa. that period, annual rain catchment record was 77,000 m3, whereas volume of chemically laden sewage discharged via outfall 693,500 m3 making by far most predominant source for these bay. The chemical load...

Abstract Multiple-herbicide resistance (MHR) is a global threat to weed control in cereal crops. MHR weeds express specific phi class glutathione transferase (MHR-GSTF) that confers against multiple herbicides and therefore represents promising target weeds. Kinetics inhibition analysis of MHR-GSTFs from grass Lolium rigidum (LrGSTF) Alopecurus myosuroides (AmGSTF) crops Hordeum vulgare (HvGSTF...

The river dolphin or bufeo (Inia boliviensis) is an endemic cetacean of the upper Madeira River basin inBolivia; nevertheless there are few biological studies on this species. This report presents the first record ofthe diet of an individual juvenile bufeo within its distribution. In two rivers of the upper Madeira river basin inBolivia during the rising water season, a newborn and ...

Organic micropollutants continue to worsen groundwater pollution, especially in many areas of the world where water resources are becoming scarce. India uses more than any other nation. The main objective this study is evaluate quality Hyderabad, by comprehensively analyzing organic micropollutants. Samples were collected from borewells eight different sites (Begumpet, Bharatnagar, Dundigal, Ju...

Butachlor (BUT) is a chloroacetanilide herbicide widely applied to rice paddies to control annual grass and broad-leaf weeds. A BUT-degrading bacterial strain (PK) was isolated from paddy soils. Biochemical and 16S rRNA sequencing characteristics confirmed the strain as Pseudomonas aeruginosa (99% resemblance). The isolate dissipated BUT (100 μg/mL) in an M9 liquid medium with a rate of 0.5 ± 0...
