This study evaluated the insecticidal efficacy and physiological selectivity of three novel aminoaryl-phosphoramidate compounds under controlled laboratory conditions. The biological models were larvae of the phytophagous Spodoptera frugiperda and adult workers of the predatory Polybia occidentalis. The S. frugiperda larvae used for the bioassays were reared on an artificial diet, while P. occidentalis adults were collected from field colonies. The acute larvicidal efficacy of the novel phosphoramidate compounds against S. frugiperda larvae was lower than that of the control treatment (a commercial product of the same chemical class); however, these same compounds exhibited significant acute toxicity to workers of P. occidentalis. Following topical application of phosphoramidate compounds, insects were provided an ad libitum feeding diet, and toxicity associated with potential delayed neurotoxic effects was assessed under these conditions. The LD50 (lethal dose killing 50% of the tested population) of the three aminoaryl-phosphoramidate compounds ranged from 28.10 to 99.94 μg mg-1 for S. frugiperda larvae and from 54.86 to 68.71 μg mg-1 for adult P. occidentalis adults. The synthesized compound exhibits more pronounced acute and chronic effects on the non-target insect (P. occidentalis) and a less pronounced rapid lethal effect on S. frugiperda compared to commercial insecticides, indicating undesirable properties. However, its notable delayed neurotoxic effect to S. frugiperda, which is understudied for compounds of this nature, could be further explored as an additional tool for pest control.","PeriodicalId":55326,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Biology","volume":"86 ","pages":"e301647"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147693854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The growing increase in bacterial resistance to antimicrobials used in the food industry and public health represents a serious health challenge, making the search for new microbial control strategies urgent. In this context, natural products, such as essential oils, have gained prominence for their bioactive compounds with significant antimicrobial potential, such as the terpenes found in Citrus sinensis (sweet orange) essential oil, which have been shown to be effective against various pathogenic bacteria involved in WFDIs. The objective of the study was to conduct a systematic review to evaluate the therapeutic potential of Citrus sinensis essential oil against foodborne pathogenic bacteria. The search covered documents in Portuguese and English published between 2019 and 2024. Data were collected through CAPES electronic journal platforms, using the Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science databases. The studies were organized and managed with the help of Mendeley software. Initially, 1,562 articles were found. After applying exclusion criteria and refining the search, 12 studies were selected for this review. It was observed that Citrus sinensis essential oil, both alone and in combination with other compounds, demonstrated significant antibacterial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative strains. Citrus sinensis essential oil appears to be a promising alternative in combating pathogenic bacteria, although further studies are needed to elucidate its mechanism of action and broaden its spectrum of application.","PeriodicalId":55326,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Biology","volume":"86 ","pages":"e304325"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147640151","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following PCOS induction, female rats received TMP extract at 150, 300, and 600 mg/kg BW for 30 consecutive days. Untreated PCOS rats displayed persistent diestrus, hormonal dysregulation, and polycystic ovaries, and no pregnancies were observed. After TMP treatment, especially at 300 mg/kg BW, significantly reversed these impairments: estrous cyclicity normalized, hormonal profiles improved (increasing FSH and estradiol, decreasing LH and testosterone levels), and ovarian histology showed active folliculogenesis and reappearance of multiple corpus lutea. In addition, TMP could reduce the body weight and downregulate the ovarian androgen receptor (AR), estrogen receptor alpha (ERα), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) protein expression. Moreover, TMP restored the fertility index and promoted embryo implantation, comparable to control animals.

Sex determination in date palms is typically possible only at the flowering stage, which occurs at reproductive maturity between four and five years. Consequently, sex cannot be determined at the early seedling stage. This study aimed to determine the sex of date palm seedlings through phenotypic characterization and molecular analysis of the SRY gene, validated using ISSR markers. A total of 10 seedlings from each of two cultivars-KL.1 and Barhee-were used. In vivo propagation method enabled phenotypic characterization based on radicle structure (spiraled or non-spiraled) and leaf primordium morphology (curved or straight). Molecular determination of sex was conducted using SRY gene-specific primers (SRY-date F-R) and ISSR markers (IS_A02 and IS_A71). Phenotypic characterization of KL.1 resulted in the identification of seven male seedlings (K1, K3, K4, K5, K12, K14, K15) and three female seedlings (K2, K6, K9). For Barhee, phenotypic analysis indicated seven male seedlings (B1, B2, B5, B8, B11, B12, B15) and three female seedlings (B4, B6, B10). Molecular analysis of KL.1 validated the phenotypic results, with identical sex indications. In Barhee, molecular analysis identified five male and five female seedlings, showing discrepancies with the phenotypic results for two seedlings (B12 and B15). Despite these inconsistencies, Chi-square and Cramer's V tests revealed that the p-values for KL.1 (0.012) and Barhee (0.048) indicated strong and statistically significant associations between phenotypic and molecular sex determination.","PeriodicalId":55326,"journal":{"name":"Brazilian Journal of Biology","volume":"86 ","pages":"e302811"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147596524","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to identify and characterize local stingless bee species at the molecular level. A total of 32 specimens were collected from three communities in Tutóia, Maranhão (MA). Samples were processed at the LabWick/UEMA, with DNA extracted using the phenol-chloroform method and amplification of the COI region via PCR. Sequence analyses were performed using dedicated software. The mitochondrial COI marker enabled the identification of eight stingless bee species distributed across seven distinct genera. The DNA fragments analyzed averaged 450 bp in length, with a predominance of adenine (A) and thymine (T). Sequence similarity with the NCBI database ranged from 96.33% to 98.93%, with Melipona fuliginosa showing the highest match. A total of 25 haplotypes were identified, 10 belonging to the Melipona genus and 15 to other genera. Phylogenetic analysis revealed four groupings within Melipona and six among the remaining genera. The geographic isolation of the sampled communities may have limited species distribution across the study area. Despite the effectiveness of COI, the absence of a clear barcode gap and the scarcity of reference data in databases such as GenBank limit identification accuracy for certain genera.
