Cassava root rots are important diseases in different agroecological zones of West Africa. The causing pathogens were collected from 101 farmers’ fields in forest mosaic savanna, southern guinea savanna, northern guinea savanna and sudan savanna of Benin were isolated, identified and analyzed for their virulence. A total of 51 isolates were found showing different disease reaction with 13.7% hi...

Synthesis of 4-[(2/4-chloro-/2,3-dichloro-/2/4-bromo-/2,4-dinitro-/4-nitrophenyl) anilinemethyl]6-t-butyl-2H-1-benzopyran-2-ones have been carried out. Synthesized compounds were characterized by 1HNMR, IR and other physical and analytical data. All of the synthesized compounds were evaluated for their antifungal activity against Aspergillus awamori and Sclerotium rolfsii and antibacterial acti...

Penicitroamide (1), a new metabolite with a new framework, was isolated from the ethyl acetate extract of the PDB (Potato Dextrose Broth) medium of Penicillium sp. (NO. 24). The endophytic fungus Penicillium sp. (NO. 24) was obtained from the healthy leaves of Tapiscia sinensis Oliv. The structure of penicitroamide (1) features a bicyclo[3.2.1]octane core unit with a high degree of carbonylizat...
