Application of Silica Nanoparticles for Improving Growth, Yield, and Enzymatic Antioxidant for the Hybrid Rice EHR1 Growing under Water Regime Conditions

Omnia M. Elshayb et al.

Summary: The study found that foliar application of silica oxide nanoparticles at different concentrations could enhance rice growth, yield, and certain metabolites. Plants treated with SiO2 nanoparticles under water stress showed higher growth and yield parameters compared to those without SiO2 nanoparticles, suggesting a potential for mitigating the adverse effects of water stress on rice plants.

Hazardous Effects of SiO2 Nanoparticles on Liver and Kidney Functions, Histopathology Characteristics, and Transcriptomic Responses in Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Juveniles

Hany M. R. Abdel-Latif et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the impacts of sub-lethal concentrations of silicon dioxide nanoparticles (SiO(2)NPs) on hepato-renal functions, histopathological characteristics, and gene transcription in gills and liver of Nile tilapia juveniles. Exposure to SiO₂NPs induced irreversible dose-dependent histopathological changes in multiple organs and modulation of inflammatory and oxidative stress genes in exposed fish. Results provide insights into the toxic effects of SiO(2)NPs in Nile tilapia at hematological, tissue, and molecular levels.

Bacillus thuringiensis Spores and Cry3A Toxins Act Synergistically to Expedite Colorado Potato Beetle Mortality

Ivan M. Dubovskiy et al.

Summary: The insect integument acts as a barrier to disease-causing agents, but Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) must overcome gut-based defences to establish infection. Bt spores and Cry3A toxins have negative impacts on larval health, activating the insect detoxification system and causing tissue damage.

RNAi-mediated suppression of insect metalloprotease inhibitor (IMPI) enhances Galleria mellonella susceptibility to fungal infection

Ekaterina Grizanova et al.

Summary: The co-evolutionary arms race between disease-causing agents and their insect victims has led to the development of specialized attack and defense strategies. Insects release metalloprotease inhibitors and other immune factors to counter fungal invasion. Suppressing the IMPI gene via RNAi significantly reduces antifungal defenses in greater wax moth larvae.

Silica nanoparticles as pesticide against insects of different feeding types and their non-target attraction of predators

Ahmed F. Thabet et al.

Summary: The study found that silica NPs can reduce the populations of three insect pests and their associated predators on field-cultivated faba bean and soybean, although in soybean fields, the number of predators initially increased after applying the lowest concentration. Additionally, it was discovered that silica NPs can enhance the attraction of natural enemies towards herbivore-infested plants via herbivore-induced plant volatiles.

Assessment the using of silica nanoparticles (SiO2NPs) biosynthesized from rice husks by Trichoderma harzianum MF780864 as water lead adsorbent for immune status of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

Nashwa El-Gazzar et al.

Summary: Rice husks were utilized as a substrate for biosynthesis of high-value Silica nanoparticles by Trichoderma harzianum. The SiO(2)NPs exhibited efficient lead adsorption capacity in water, showing potential for water remediation applications.
