Solanesyl diphosphate synthase (SPS) is essential for plastoquinone-9 (PQ-9) biosynthesis and has emerged as a promising target for herbicide discovery. The commercial SPS herbicides bind to the dimer interface of the protein; however, substrate-competitive SPS inhibitors are still rare, particularly in agronomically r...

BACKGROUND
The increasing prevalence of phytopathogenic oomycetes and bacteria, particularly Phytophthora capsici (Pc) and Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo), poses severe threats to global agricultural production. Developing novel antimicrobial agents with dual antimicrobial activities, multiple mechanisms of action,...

BACKGROUND
Plant pathogenic fungi and bacteria cause substantial losses in agricultural production worldwide, and escalating resistance to conventional agrochemicals necessitates the development of novel, environmentally benign pesticides. Formononetin, a naturally occurring isoflavone, exhibits promising bioactivities...

A series of thiazolidinedione derivatives containing thioamide and piperidine moieties were designed, synthesized, and evaluated for antifungal activity against plant pathogenic fungi. Several compounds exhibited potent antifungal activity, among which Z17 was the most active against Rhizoctonia solani (EC50 = 1.8 μg/m...
