Production of hydrocarbon-rich bio-oil from catalytic pyrolysis of waste cooking oil over nickel monoxide loaded corn cob-derived activated carbon

Peng Li et al.

Summary: The bio-oil produced from the catalytic pyrolysis of waste cooking oil has potential to replace fossil fuels, but its low yield and high oxygen content reduce its value. To overcome this, a Ni/AC catalyst was used to convert the waste cooking oil into high-quality hydrocarbon-rich pyrolysis oil. The catalyst showed high deoxygenation activity, resulting in a bio-oil with 99% hydrocarbon content and high selectivity for aromatic hydrocarbons. The hydrogen produced by the catalyst facilitated deoxygenation and hydrocarbon production. This study provides valuable insight into a low-cost and efficient method for utilizing waste cooking oil.

Genetic Potential and Inheritance Patterns of Physiological, Agronomic and Quality Traits in Bread Wheat under Normal and Water Deficit Conditions

Mohamed M. Kamara et al.

Summary: Water scarcity is a major environmental stress that negatively affects the growth, production, and quality of wheat. The study found that drought stress significantly reduced wheat yield and photosynthetic efficiency, but increased antioxidant enzyme activities and proline content. Through hybrid analysis, some parental genotypes and combinations were identified with good potential for improving drought resistance and yield traits in wheat. Additionally, certain physiological traits were found to be important for indirect selection of wheat under water deficit conditions.

Molecular Genetic Diversity and Combining Ability for Some Physiological and Agronomic Traits in Rice under Well-Watered and Water-Deficit Conditions

Raghda M. Sakran et al.

Summary: This study evaluated diverse rice genotypes and their hybrids under water-deficit and well-watered conditions, and analyzed the genetic traits. The results showed that water deficit reduced rice growth and yield, while increasing leaf rolling and sterility percentage. Both additive and non-additive gene actions were involved in controlling the inheritance of traits, with additive gene action dominating for most traits.

Field evolved insecticide resistance in the cotton mealybug Phenacoccus solenopsis and its direct and indirect impacts on the endoparasitoid Aenasius arizonensis

Karuppan Shankarganesh et al.

Summary: The invasive mealybug on cotton, Phenacoccus solenopsis, is primarily controlled by conventional insecticides. However, these insecticides also have negative impacts on the potential biocontrol agent, Aenasius arizonenesis. The study found heterogeneity in the development of insecticide resistance and that profenofos, thiodicarb, and imidacloprid were hazardous, non-selective, and harmful to A. arizonenesis.

Stem borers revisited: Host resistance, tolerance, and vulnerability determine levels of field damage from a complex of Asian rice stemborers

Finbarr G. Horgan et al.

Summary: Yield losses from rice stem borers are influenced by the nature of the rice variety, timing of attack, and composition of the stem borer species assemblage. Different herbivore-rice interactions and damage levels were observed across various rice lines exposed to stem borers. Stem borer species displayed preferences and performance differences on rice at different growth stages, with a correlation between rice responses and stem borer attacks mainly observed at the reproductive stage. Recommendations for phenotyping studies to assess rice resistance, tolerance, and vulnerability to stem borer complexes were provided for both controlled and field environments.

Induction of cell wall phenolic monomers as part of direct defense response in maize to pink stem borer (Sesamia inferens Walker) and non-insect interactions

P. Lakshmi Soujanya et al.

Summary: Pink stem borer (PSB) causes significant yield losses in maize. Plant-insect interactions induce phenolic compound mediated defense responses in leaf and stalk tissues, with resistant and moderately resistant genotypes accumulating higher contents of p-CA and FA compared to susceptible ones. The study suggests that phenolic acids may contribute to maize resistance mechanisms in the maize-PSB interaction system.

Relationships between Stalk Resistance and Corn Borers, Agronomic Traits, and Cell Wall Hydroxycinnamates in a Set of Recombinant Inbred Lines from a Maize MAGIC Population

Ana Lopez-Malvar et al.

Summary: Corn borers are the most important pest affecting maize, and resistance to them can compromise plant fitness and yield. Stronger resistant maize lines may exhibit higher concentrations of cell wall-bound hydroxycinnamates, but also characteristics like early maturity, low grain moisture, and reduced plant height. Selecting for resistance may therefore have negative impacts on yield. A breeding strategy focusing on grain yield to tolerate corn borer attack is recommended.
