the structural requirements for the inhibitor activity of various furan carboxanilide derivatives against succinate dehydrogenase complex (sdc) activity in mitochondria of either wild or mutant strains of ustilago maydis were investigated with the aid of hansch qsar analysis. it has been found that the inhibitor activity against both types of enzymes is best related to the ??? or ??m of the sub...

BACKGROUND In recent years the need has arisen to study and develop (or re-discover) foods that have nutritional characteristics as well as specific functions, such as improving health and/or reducing the risk of disease. For this reason knowledge of the nutritional value of food is important to promote greater consumer acceptance. In Mexico huitlacoche (also, cuitlacoche) has traditionally bee...

Gibberella zeae (anamorph: Fusarium graminearum) is the most common cause of Fusarium head blight (FHB) of wheat (Triticum aestivum) worldwide. Aggressiveness is the most important fungal trait affecting disease severity and stability of host resistance. Objectives were to analyze in two field experiments (i) segregation for aggressiveness among 120 progenies from each of two crosses of highly ...

Corn (Zea mays L.) is one of the most widely grown cereals in world. However, Cameroon, particularly Far North Region, yields remain low because diseases increasing due to farming practices and climate change. This work aimed characterize Brown Spot Stalk Rot corn evaluate susceptibility two maize varieties Physoderma maydis field conditions. Two varieties, CMS9015, CMS8704 were evaluated a ran...

A novel method of management maize pathogens in vitro and vivo using newly synthesized copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) has been documented this study. CuNPs have CuSO4 as a precursor, NaBH4 ascorbic acid reducing agent, polyethylene glycol 8000 (PEG-8000) stabilizing agent. Characterization Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) confirmed the nanoparticles’ size range 35–70 nm. Fourier transform i...
