Fungal Plant Disease Management by Natural Essential Oils

Safaei-Farahani B. and Mostowfizade-Ghalamfarsa R. 2019. Fungal plant disease management by natural essential oils. Plant Pathology Science 8(1):24-37. DOI: 10.2982/PPS.8.1.24.  Essential oils are hydrophobic, volatile and aromatic compounds that have been used as fragrances and flavors for a long time. Recent studies have shown that some plant essential oils have fungicidal effects agains...

Nanotechnology for Alzheimer’s Disease Detection

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia among people of age 65 and older. The diagnosis of sporadic AD is based on clinical exclusion criteria and is only definite at necropsy. So, biochemical markers for AD would be of great value for its early diagnosis. During the last decade, research efforts have focused on developing cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) biomarkers for AD. The d...

Newer insecticides for plant virus disease management.

Effective management of insect and mite vectors of plant pathogens is of crucial importance to minimize vector-borne diseases in crops. Pesticides play an important role in managing vector populations by reducing the number of individuals that can acquire and transmit a virus, thereby potentially lowering disease incidence. Certain insecticides exhibit properties other than lethal toxicity that...
