  • Publication number: 20250031639
    Abstract: A method for screening tobacco resistance against root-knot nematode based on intensive seedling production is provided. The method has two biological properties: inducing and stimulating the hatching of nematode eggs by host root exudates, and easily infecting the root cap elongation zone by hatched second-instar larvae. The second-instar larvae hatched by the root-knot nematode eggs are continuously inoculated. After that, under cultivating the infected tobacco seedlings in shallow water infiltrating and humidifying substrate, the created temperature, humidity and air permeability conditions are suitable for disease induction. After disease investigation, disease index is calculated, and the resistance of tested cultivars is evaluated according to the disease index. The method features simple operation, high selection efficiency, and high accuracy and reproducibility.

  • Publication number: 20240082201
    Abstract: An efficient anti-bacterial hydroxy acid ester oligomer of the present invention has a general structural formula (I). Starting from the design of molecular structure, the present invention rationally designs the end group and chain length structure of the substance of formula (I), and controls its clogP value, so that the substance of formula (I) of the present invention reaches an appropriate size, which maximizes the ability of the substance of formula (I) to penetrate into the bacteria and destroy the bacterial cell membrane, thereby achieving high anti-bacterial efficiency. By precisely designing the molecular structure, the present invention regulates the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity of the hydroxy acid ester oligomer to obtain a bio-based anti-bacterial agent with controllable water solubility.
