The biology, host plants, and pest status of Podontia Dalman, 1824 species are reviewed. Natural history of Podontia congregata Baly, 1865 a flea beetle endemic to southern India, is reported for the first time. It is distributed from the Western Ghats Mountains westward to the plains. Clusiaceae is reported as a new host plant family for Blepharida-group species, with Garcinia gummi-gutta (L.)...

The demand for nanoparticles has been increasing rapidly in recent years due to their unique properties of interest a wide range applications. Several physical, chemical, or microorganisms-based methods can be employed the synthesis nanoparticles. However, classical processes are time-consuming, complicated, and raise environmental concerns use high energy toxic chemicals. Synthesis using plant...

The cocoa mealybug, Exallomochlus hispidus Morrison (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) is known to attack mangosteen, an important fruit export commodity for Indonesia. The mealybug is polyphagous, so alternative host plants can serve as a source of nourishment. This study aimed to record the bionomics of E. hispidus on mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.) and three alternative hosts, kabocha squash (C...

PURPOSE To characterize the anatomy of the fruit and leaf and the presence of phytocompounds. To evaluate the antitumor and antimicrobial activity of ethanolic extract of Garcinia mangostana L. (mangosteen) cultivated in southeastern Brazil. METHODS Anatomical characterization and histochemical reactions were performed for structural identification and the presence of phytocompounds. Preparat...

A new prenylxanthone, garcimangostanol (1), was isolated from the EtOAc-soluble partition of the ethanol extract of the pericarp of Garcinia mangostana L., along with three known compounds, namely 8-deoxygartanin (2), 1-isomangostin (3), and garcinone C (4). The structure of compound 1 was elucidated on the basis of its 1D, 2D NMR and MS data. Compounds 1-4 exhibited either significant o r mode...

Twenty fruit species representing 12 families were collected from various regions in western Puerto Rico and monitored for the emergence of Anastrepha spp. pupae. We collected 14,154 tephritid pupae from 16 fruit species representing 10 families. The relative infestations of these fruits (pupae per kilogram of fruit) were recorded. Recorded host ranges were not in complete agreement with those ...

Background: One of the most noteworthy concerns in cancer theranostics recent decades is outcome unique nanoparticles for diagnosing and treating purposes. In current study, we used unripe Garcinia cambogia fruits to create silver utilizing a straightforward environmentally friendly process. Materials Methods: When exposed fruit extract, hydroalcoholic ions were decreased stabilized over an ext...
