Organohalogen compounds in whale blubber provide window into marine habitats for 11 species

Organohalogen compounds in whale blubber provide window into marine habitats for 11 species

Comprehensive screening analysis of organohalogen compounds in blubber samples of 11 toothed whale species stranded on Japanese coasts revealed species-specific accumulation profiles, with a total of more than 300 organohalogen compounds detected. For the first time, the composition profiles of marine natural products were found to be useful indicators of the feeding habitats and migration…

Widespread plant metabolite shows potential for combating bacterial diseases in crops

Widespread plant metabolite shows potential for combating bacterial diseases in crops

Bacterial pathogens, such as those causing rice bacterial blight, tomato bacterial wilt, and kiwifruit bacterial canker, pose significant threats to global agriculture. However, effective pesticides to control these diseases are scarce, with copper-based bactericides and antibiotics offering limited efficacy and posing environmental risks. Bacterial pathogens, such as those causing rice bacterial blight, tomato bacterial wilt, and…
