To identify a post-plant nematicide to control root lesion nematode [RLN (Pratylenchus penetrans)] in red raspberry (Rubus idaeus), a number of nematicides was tested in soil-only and plant-based experiments. In soil-only experiments, soil naturally infested with RLN was drenched with the nematicides and nematode survival was assessed 7 and 14 days after treatment. Fosthiazate and oxamyl reduce...

The purpose of the study was to compare cytotoxicity two Quillaja saponaria bark saponin (QBS) mixtures against lung cell lines: normal MRC-5 fibroblast line and tumor A-549 epithelial cells lungs’ alveoli. study, performed both at a macro-scale in dedicated microfluidic device, showed that QBS more toxic abundant cholesterol (MRC-5). mixture with higher fraction found be cytotoxic towards line...

The adjuvant effect of Quillaja saponaria saponin (QSS) on protection of turbot fry was investigated with immersion vaccination of formalin-killed Vibrio anguillarum O1 and various concentrations of QSS (5, 25, 45 and 65 mg/L). Fish were challenged at days 7, 14 and 28 post-vaccination. Significantly high relative percent of survival (RPS) ((59.1 ± 13.6)%, (81.7 ± 8.2)%, (77.8 ± 9.6)%) were rec...
