Fungal pretreatment of lignocellulose by Phanerochaete chrysosporium to produce ethanol from rice straw.

13 Oct 2009 Phanerochaete chrysosporium is a wood-rot fungus that is capable of degrading lignin via its lignolytic system. In this study, an environmentally friendly fungal pretreatment process that produces less inhibitory substances than conventional methods ... Read more...

Aromatic-ring-functionalised benzoxazinones in the system Oryza sativa-Echinochloa crus-galli as biorational herbicide models.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Barnyardgrass, Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) Beauv., is one of the most problematic weeds occurring in rice crops. Although efficient chemical control is provided by herbicides available on the market, resistant biotypes provoked by ... Read more...

Efficacy of grain protectants against four psocid species on maize, rice and wheat.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Psocids are emerging pests in stored products, particularly in amylaceous commodities such as grains. Currently, their control is based on the use of fumigants and contact insecticides; however, newer data indicate that psocids are ... Read more...
