(E)-2-Hexenal Combats Rice Sheath Blight Through Direct Pathogen Inhibition and Host Defense Reprogramming
Thursday, 04-06-2026 | 08:28
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) have garnered substantial research interest in recent years due to their biodegradability, low toxicity, and potent antimicrobial properties against various plant pathogens. As a typical herbivore-induced plant volatile (HIPV) elicited by Nilaparvata lugens (Brown planthopper, BPH), (E)-2-hexenal has been identified as a promising natural antimicrobial agent. In this study, we investigated the protective potential of (E)-2-hexenal against Rhizoctonia solani (R. solani) in rice

Study Reveals Limited GMO Knowledge Among Jordanian Adults
Despite growing global use of biotechnology in food production, a study found that many adults in Jordan have limited knowledge and awareness of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). The research examined public understanding, attitudes, and awareness of GMOs among Jordanian adults and identified factors influencing acceptance of GM products.
