Distinct Infection Mechanisms of <i>Rhizoctonia solani</i> AG-1 IA and AG-4 HG-I+II in <i>Brachypodium distachyon</i> and Barley

Rhizoctonia solani is a basidiomycete phytopathogenic fungus that causes rapid necrosis in a wide range of crop species, leading to substantial agricultural losses worldwide. The species complex is divided into 13 anastomosis groups (AGs) b...

Fatty acid composition, bioactive phytochemicals, antioxidant properties and oxidative stability of edible fruit seed oil: effect of preharvest and processing factors

Fruit seed is a by-product of fruit processing into juice and other products. Despite being treated as waste, fruit seed contains oil with health benefits comparable or even higher than the conventional seed oil from field crops. In additio...

Mechanism analysis of mechanical extraction of Pleioblastus amarus fibers by saturated steam pretreatment

Abstract Currently, bamboo fibers (BFs) are commonly processed through alkali boiling softening pretreatment, which generates wastewater that poses environmental pollution risks. This process is also complex and requires significant human a...

The Effects of Alkaline Pretreatment on Agricultural Biomasses (Corn Cob and Sweet Sorghum Bagasse) and Their Hydrolysis by a Termite-Derived Enzyme Cocktail

Sweet sorghum bagasse (SSB) and corncob (CC) have been identified as promising feedstocks for the production of second-generation biofuels and other value-added chemicals. In this study, lime (Ca(OH)2) and NaOH pretreatment efficacy for dec...
