In order to discover novel eco-friendly lead compounds for plant pathogenic fungi control, a series of benzaldehyde thiosemicarbazide derivatives with a piperidine moiety have been designed and synthesized. Fungicidal activities of all the synthesized compounds were evaluated in vitro. The results indicated that all the title compounds exhibited moderate to good fungicidal activities. Compound ...

Lecithin washed with NaCl solution was stimulatory to oospore formation of Phytophthora boehmeriae, P. sojae, P. cactorum, and Pythium aphanidermatum. Commercial glycerides of palmitic acid with 99% purity were found to contain a substance inhibitory to oospore formation. Purification with florisil column chromatography was more effective in removing the inhibitory substance than thin-layer chr...

Lysobacter enzymogenes is a ubiquitous, beneficial, plant-associated bacterium emerging as a novel biological control agent. It has the potential to become a new source of antimicrobial secondary metabolites such as the Heat-Stable Antifungal Factor (HSAF), which is a broad-spectrum antimycotic with a novel mode of action. However, very little information about how L. enzymogenes detects and re...

Los Oomycetes son un grupo de organismos que alberga géneros y especies destructivas plantas cultivadas silvestres. En México, especialmente en el Estado Sinaloa, la información sobre esos su presencia aguas superficiales empleadas para uso agrícola es escasa. Esta investigación se realizó con objetivo determinar del género Pythium irrigación Valle Culiacán, México. De septiembre 2018 a enero 2...

A novel slightly distorted octahedral complex of Cr(III) of norfloxacin (Nor) with the formula [Cr(III)(Nor)(Bipy)Cl2]Cl·2CH3OH has been synthesized hydrothermally in the presence of a N-containing heterocyclic compound 2,2'-bipyridyl (Bipy). The complex was characterized with FT-IR, elemental analysis, UV-visible spectroscopy, and X-ray crystallography. Spectral studies suggest that the Nor ac...
