Abstract Molecular phylogenetics has fundamentally altered our understanding of the taxonomy, systematics and biogeography corals. Recently developed phylogenomic techniques have started to resolve species-level relationships in diverse ecologically important genus Acropora, providing a path taxonomy this notoriously problematic group. We used targeted capture dataset (2032 loci) investigate sy...

3-[(2-Hydroxyphenyl)amino]butanoic and 3-[(2-hydroxy-5-methyl(chloro)phenyl)amino]butanoic acids were converted to a series of derivatives containing hydrazide, pyrrole and chloroquinoxaline moieties. The corresponding benzo[b]phenoxazine derivatives were synthesized by the reaction of the obtained compounds with 2,3-dichloro-1,4-naphthoquinone. Five of the synthesized compounds exhibited good ...

Impact of brown seaweed, Padina pavonica (Linn.) chloroform, and benzene extracts were evaluated against an economically important cotton pest, Dysdercus cingulatus (Fab.) (Pyrrhocoridae). The result reveled that between the two solvents, benzene extracts of P. pavonica caused more nymphal mortality. It reduce D. cingulatus egg hatchability than chloroform extract. Benzene extract also reduced ...

Padina pavonica (Linnaeus) Thivy 1960 is a brown algae that antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anticancer effects generally used in soup, salad, other dishes. However, no studies have been reported on safe consumption humans to date. For this purpose, study was conducted determine the cytotoxic genotoxic of P. lymphocytes cultured from human blood. The water extract added into culture tubes at var...

Background: Marine seaweeds synthesize different metabolites with various biological activities, including antimicrobial effects. Objectives: The main object of this study was to fractionate the seaweed Padina australis and analyze activities these fractions isolate bioactive compounds. Methods: collected from Persian Gulf extracted by maceration methanol-ethyl acetate solvent. extract evaporat...

Abstract Generalist predators are increasingly used in biological pest control for greenhouse crops, as they multiple pests and persist crops even when prey is scarce. However, some of these may cause plant damage due to their omnivorous feeding behaviour. In many European regions, the predator Nesidiocoris tenuis (Reuter) (Hemiptera: Miridae) considered be a serious tomato pest, regardless ser...
