1. Integrated UPLC-HRMS, Chemometric Tools, and Metabolomic Analysis of Forage Palm (Opuntia spp. and Nopalea spp.) to Define Biomarkers Associated with Non-Susceptibility to Carmine Cochineal (Dactylopius opuntiae)
Metabolomics, together with analytical methods and chemometric tools, point to new paths for selecting species that are resistant to pests and diseases. In this work, the forage palm species' metabolomic profile was investigated, and the relation between the chemical composition and resistance to Dactylopius opuntiae (carmine cochineal). The study was perfor

2. Acrylamide reduces plasma antioxidant vitamin levels in rats due to increased oxidative damage
RESUMO Objetivo A acrilamida é um químico potencialmente neurotóxico e carcinogênico, sendo naturalmente criada durante o processo de aquecimento de alimentos ricos em carboidratos, como batatas fritas e cereais matinais. Dado que o composto pode ser ingerido através do consumo de alimentos, o presente trabalho teve por objetivo investigar o seu efeito

3. Preference of Neoseiulus californicus (Acari: Phytoseiidae) for volatiles of Bt maize induced by multiple herbivory
ABSTRACT Plant indirect induced defenses against herbivores are characterized by the production of plant volatiles that to attract natural enemies. The objective of this study was to evaluate whether the attack of the two-spotted spider mite Tetranychus urticae or the multiple herbivory of T. urticae together with the fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda are

4. Terrorismo químico: proposta de modelagem de risco envolvendo ricina em eventos de grande visibilidade no Brasil
RESUMO Grandes eventos estão no centro de estratégias terroristas e vem-se repetindo com frequência no âmbito internacional. Durante os últimos anos, o Brasil é palco de megaeventos esportivos; e este ano sediará a Copa do Mundo Fifa Sub-17. Assume-se que a maior exposição, nesses contextos, aumenta a vulnerabilidade ante as ameaças não convencion

6. Phyto- and Bio-Chemical evaluation of Diospyros kaki L. cultivated in Egypt and its biological activities
Resumo Diospyros kaki L. ou Costata é a principal variedade de caqui progressivamente consumida no mercado e exportação egípcia. O objetivo deste estudo foi investigar os efeitos bioprotetores do extrato alcoólico de frutos e folhas de D. kaki utilizando modelos de ratos “in vivo”. Extratos de éter de petróleo provenientes de frutos e folhas foram

7. Perspectives and Applications of Natural Products as Civilian Defense Devices
Civilian defense devices are physical and chemical artefacts used to incapacitate an aggressor without causing death or injury. As city violence increases, safety feelings became worst and a growing commercial demand for these materials supply faces technologically challenges not only to riot control but also to self-protection. Controversies on the use of t

8. Does mechanical damage on soybean induces the production of flavonoids?
Abstract The response of plants to grazing includes the production of chemical defense compounds such as proteases inhibitors and secondary metabolites as flavonoids, which makes them less palatable to feeding and negatively affecting the physiology of insects. The aim of this study was to evaluate the phytochemical response of soybean cultivars (Glycine max

9. Antimicrobial Diterpene from the Brazilian Termite Nasutitermes macrocephalus (Isoptera: Termitidae: Natutitermitinae)
Termites are insects with a complex social organization on castes among which soldiers are the only responsible for the colony defense. The soldiers of the Nasutitermes genus use chemical defense, which comprises a mixture of mono, sesqui and mainly diterpenes. The new diterpene 2b,3a-dihydroxy-trinervita-1(15),11-diene, found in Nasutitermes macrocephalus,

10. Potassium-modulated physiological performance of mango plants infected by Ceratocystis fimbriata
ABSTRACT Mango wilt, caused by the fungus Ceratocystis fimbriata, is an important disease affecting mango production. In view of the beneficial effects of potassium (K) in other profitable crops and the lack of information about the effect of macronutrients on mango wilt development, the present study aimed to evaluate how mango plants supplied with K respon

11. Evaluation of Chemical Defense and Chemical Diversity in the Exotic Bryozoan Amathia verticillata
The present investigation tests the effects against feeding by fishes of crude extracts obtained from eleven distinct populations of the bryozoan Amathia verticillata, an invasive species found globally in tropical to warm-temperate waters. Investigation of extracts from 11 populations of A. verticillata led to the identification and quantification of the kn

12. Advances in induced resistance by natural compounds: towards new options for woody crop protection
ABSTRACT: The activation of defensive responses of plants is a promising tool for controlling pests in conventional agriculture. Over the last few years, several compounds have been studied to protect crops from pests, without displaying direct toxicity for pathogenic organisms. These compounds have the ability to induce a priming state on the plants that re
