Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioactivity of Sumac (Rhus Coriaria) Extract as a Green Alternative for Plant Pathogen InhibitionMohammed H. Al-Mamoori, Meisam Zargar, Elena N. Pakina, Fatih DadaşoğluEnvironmental stress caused by pathogenic fungi leads to considerable losses in global crop productivity. Plant-derived extracts are eco-friendly and sustainable alternatives that can inhibit biotic stresses. Sumac (Rhus coriaria) is widely used in industrial and medicinal applications due to its extract rich in secondary metabolites, similar to those found in chemical pesticides and pharmaceuticals. This study aimed to characterize the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 3 · 25 Nov 2025 · 2,209 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLarvicidal Activity of Spondias purpurea (Sineguelas) Leaf and Hylocereus costaricensis (Dragon Fruit) Stem Extracts Against Aedes aegyptiAlfredo V. Corpuz, Nigell Mikhail A. Gallardo, Ace Danielle C. AveroThe study determined the larvicidal activity of the different concentrations of Spondias purpurea and Hylocereus costaricensis extracts by measuring percent mortality in Aedes aegypti larvae, a primary vector of dengue and other arboviral diseases. The hypothesis proposed that combining both extracts would yield greater larvicidal activity due to potential synergistic interactions. Ethanolic extraction was used to isolate a wide array … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 3 · 20 Nov 2025 · 2,417 accessesView PDFCite
