Chemical Agents for Microbial Control01:27

Chemical Agents for Microbial Control

576
Chemicals play important roles in controlling microbial growth by targeting microbial structures and functions as sanitizers, antiseptics, disinfectants, and sterilants.Alcohols are commonly used sanitizers, effectively disrupting lipid membranes, which compromises cell integrity. They are also used as antiseptics and disinfectants due to their rapid action and versatility.Phenols and their derivatives phenolics , known for denaturing proteins and disrupting cell membranes, are particularly...

Plant Breeding and Biotechnology

20.6K
Crop cultivation has a long history in human civilization, with records showing the cultivation of cereal plants beginning at around 8000 BC. This early plant breeding was developed primarily to provide a steady supply of food.

Effects of Chemicals: Overview01:27

Effects of Chemicals: Overview

1.8K
Drugs, encompassing various chemical compounds from natural sources, lab synthesis, or genetic engineering, elicit different biological responses in living organisms. Some of these responses are desirable or therapeutic, while others are undesirable. The primary goal of administering a drug is to achieve a therapeutic effect, that is, to address a specific disease or health condition. Any concurrent effects outside of this therapeutic outcome are considered undesirable. These undesirable...

Defenses Against Pathogens and Herbivores

29.0K
Plants present a rich source of nutrients for many organisms, making it a target for herbivores and infectious agents. Plants, though lacking a proper immune system, have developed an array of constitutive and inducible defenses to fend off these attacks.

Plant Hormones01:56

Plant Hormones

26.1K
Plant hormones—or phytohormones—are chemical molecules that modulate one or more physiological processes of a plant. In animals, hormones are often produced in specific glands and circulated via the circulatory system. However, plants lack hormone-producing glands.

Microorganisms in Agriculture and Food industry

871
Microorganisms play a crucial role in agriculture and the food industry, contributing to soil fertility, crop protection, and food production. Their functions range from nitrogen fixation and biopesticide production to fermentation and food preservation, making them indispensable to sustainable farming and food safety.Role in AgricultureNitrogen-fixing bacteria, such as Rhizobium (symbiotic) and Azotobacter (free-living), convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia through biological nitrogen...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Innovation in crop protection compounds continues, with new fungicides and insecticides remaining steady. The perceived decline in new active ingredients (AIs) is primarily due to fewer new herbicides, not a halt in overall discovery.

Area of Science:

  • Agricultural Chemistry
  • Organic Chemistry
  • Chemical Industry Analysis

Background:

  • The crop protection industry has seen significant consolidation and changes since the mid-20th century.
  • Numerous studies indicate a decline in new active ingredients (AIs) for crop protection over the past decades.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze trends in the introduction rate of new crop protection compounds over the last 70 years.
  • To investigate the factors contributing to the perceived decline in new AI development.
  • To assess the continuity of innovation in discovering new chemical classes of crop protection agents.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of historical data on the introduction of new crop protection compounds.
  • Trend analysis focusing on fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides.
  • Examination of innovation rates, including First-in-Class compounds.

Main Results:

  • The overall output of new AIs shows a complex pattern, not a simple decline.
  • A decrease in new herbicides post-2000 is the main driver of the perceived overall decline.
  • New fungicide and insecticide introductions have remained relatively constant for the past 20 years.
  • Innovation, measured by new chemical classes, has been consistent over 70 years, driven by fungicides and insecticides.

Conclusions:

  • Despite industry changes, the discovery and development of new crop protection AIs persist.
  • Innovation in fungicides and insecticides remains a key driver in crop protection and public health.
  • The perceived decline in new AIs is largely attributable to the reduced introduction of herbicides.
