Chitinase Inhibitors and Chitin Mimetics for Crop Protection
Pathogen and pest management is a key element in agriculture. The Integrated Pest Management concept relies on the availability of an array of protective measures having different but complementary mechanisms. As a consequence, alternative strategies have to be developed. Because chitin occurs in the cell wall of fungi and in various structural components of arthropods, its metabolism has been ...
متن کاملNatural products in crop protection.
The tremendous increase in crop yields associated with the 'green' revolution has been possible in part by the discovery and utilization of chemicals for pest control. However, concerns over the potential impact of pesticides on human health and the environment has led to the introduction of new pesticide registration procedures, such as the Food Quality Protection Act in the United States. The...
متن کاملNew directions in crop protection
World population is likely to cross the threshold of 7 billion in October, meaning it has doubled since the late 1960s. In relative terms, the growth has already slowed down significantly since its peak in 1963. However, in absolute numbers, there is no escaping the fact that the number of mouths that need feeding is still rising, while the agricultural surface available to produce food is rema...
متن کاملCombining Fungicides and Prospective NPR1-Based “Just-in-Time” Immunomodulating Chemistries for Crop Protection
Each year, crop yield is lost to weeds competing for resources, insect herbivory and diseases caused by pathogens. To thwart these insults and preserve yield security and a high quality of traits, conventional agriculture makes use of improved cultivars combined with fertilizer and agrochemical applications. However, given that regulatory bodies and consumers are demanding environmentally safer...
متن کاملMolecular topology in QSAR and drug design studies
The use of graph theoretical approaches to describe the chemical structure of organic compounds has accomplished more and more relevance along the later years. Since the early times in which such formalism was used to predict simple properties on simple molecules, such as boiling points of alkanes, up to the designfor instanceof novel lead anticancer drugs, a significant progress was achieved a...
