aquatic environments are often contaminated by various industrial, agricultural and domestic sewage, while different pesticides have markedly different effects on aquatic life. scenedesmus spp. are often used as an indicator to show changes in physico-chemical and environmental conditions of the aquatic ecosystems. this study aimed to investigate the effects of different concentrations of pesti...

This study aimed to determine the effect of benomyl fungicide with different doses and storage time on quality Indigofera sp. research was conducted in April – July 2021 at Nutrition Animal Feed Laboratory, Department Husbandry, Faculty Agriculture, University Lampung. used a completely randomized design (CRD) factorial pattern (4 x 3) first treatment being dose P0, P1, P2, P3 (0%, 2%, 4%, 6%) ...

An altered beta-tubulin gene that confers resistance to the fungicide benomyl was isolated from a genomic library of a UV-induced mutant of Cercospora kikuchii and used as a selectable marker for transformation. The level of benomyl resistance conferred to the transformants was at least 150-fold greater than the intrinsic resistance of the C. kikuchii recipient protoplasts. In the majority of c...

Benomyl is a benzimidazole fungicide that has been widely used on a variety of food crops and ornamental plants. It is known to cause adverse effects on reproductive systems, including decreased testicular and epididymal weights and reduced epididymal sperm counts and fertility. The brain aromatase gene is up-regulated by estrogens and estrogen mimics and considered a target gene to screen estr...

Endocrine disruptor chemicals are known to cause a range of abnormalities in sexual differentiation and reproduction. One mechanism underlying such effects may be via alteration of aromatase activity, which is responsible for estrogen production. A good screening system for identifying endocrine disruptors has long been desired. We have recently established a human ovarian granulosa-like tumor ...

Fungicide benomyl is easily decomposed to carbendazim (MBC) and butyl isocyanate (BIC) in formulation, BIC is further hydrolyzed to butylamine. The BIC also reacts with butylamine to form N,N'-dibutylurea (DBU), a phytotoxic compound. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of selected additives and the manufacturing method of benomyl water dispersible granules (WG) on reducing...

Thirteen isolates of Cladobotryum spp., isolated from diseased fruiting bodies of Agaricus bisporus, sampled from mushroom farms in Serbia during 2003-2006, were studied. Sensitivity to several selected fungicides was tested and all isolates were found to be highly sensitive to iprodione (EC50 = 0.35-2.30 mg L-1), benomyl (EC50 = 0.14-0.97 mg L-1) and especially to prochloraz-Mn (EC50 = 0.02-0....

The fungicide benomyl has long been known to differentially affect major taxonomic groups of fungi. In the present study 163 species or aggregates of closely similar species of medically important fungi and actinomycetes, as well as species commonly isolated as clinical contaminants, were tested to determine their reactions to three concentrations of benomyl. Fungi of basidiomycetous, endomycet...

Green mold is one of the main diseases in citrus fruits caused by Penicillium digitatum . One managements that can be used to control this disease using yeasts as antagonistic agents. The objective study was evaluate ability yeast suppress P. siam ( Citrus nobilis Lour.). conducted a completely randomized design. treatments were application yeast, consisting Aureobasidium pullulans isolate Dmg ...
