The metabolism of benzyl and phenyl glucosinolates by three phytopathogenic fungal species is investigated and established that <i>A. brassicicola </i>metabolized intact benzyl and phenyl glucosinolates and the corresponding desulfo derivatives. Syntheses and spectroscopic characterization of benzyl and phenyl desulfo-glucosinolates are reported. Phenylacetonitrile and benzylisothiocyanate are the first metabolic products of benzyl glucosinolate; benzyl isothiocyanate is further metabolized to 3-benzyl-2-thioxo-2,3-dihydrothiazolidine-4-carboxylic acid.

The title compound [systematic name: (R)-(−)-2-acetoxy-2-phenylacetic acid], C10H10O4, is a resolved chiral ester derivative of mandelic acid. The compound contains an acetate group and a carboxylic acid group, which engage in intermolecular hydrogen bonding, forming chains extending parallel to [001] with a short donor–acceptor hydrogen-bonding distance of 2.676 (2) Å.

The title compounds, both C8H4F3NO4, represent two isomers of nitro trifluoromethyl benzoic acid. The compounds each contain a nitro functionality para to the carboxylic acid group, with the trifluoromethyl substituent ortho to the acid group in the 2-isomer and ortho to the nitro group in the 3-isomer. The regiochemistry with respect to the trifluoromethyl group results in steric interactions that rotate the carboxylic acid group or the nitro group out of the aromatic plane in the 2- and 3-isomer, respectively. Each molecule engages in intermolecular hydrogen bonding, forming head-to-tail dimers with graph-set notation R 2 2(8) and donor–acceptor hydrogen-bonding distances of 2.7042 (14) Å in the 2-isomer and 2.6337 (16) in the 3-isomer. Recrystallization attempts did not yield untwinned crystals.

Soybean is an important legume that has high quality protein and oil for food and feed. Despite the importance of this legume, the crop is affected by several post-harvest diseases caused by fungi. A study was carried out to identify the fungal species associated with the seeds of soybean using molecular techniques. The DNA of the isolate, was molecularly characterized using Internal Transcribed Spacer 1 (ITS-1) molecular marker. The isolate DNA sequence, was aligned using the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool for nucleotide (BLASTN) 2.8.0 version of the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database. The results showed that the isolate sequence was 98% identical to Diaporthe spp. Voucher VP51, 98% identical to Diaporthe schini isolate L5N71 and 98% identical to Diaporthe schini strain B125. These findings showed that Diaporthe spp. is one of the causal fungal pathogens of post-harvest diseases of soybean seeds. It is anticipated that these results will provide information on culturing Diaporthe species also provide the basis for further study to show their antibiotic and anti-cancerous, enzymes and secondary metabolites producing ability. Keywords: Soybean, Diaporthe schini and RBCL marker

Onion is an important vegetable and a source of income for formers in District Swat, Pakistan. However, the crop is attacked by several pathogens i.e. fungi, bacteria, viruses, and nematodes. Therefore, a study was carried out for the estimation of fungal diseases of onion crop in district Swat. Within this study, about 50 samples of diseased onion crop were collected from 17 different regions of District Swat. The most prevalent fungal borne onion diseases were black mold (38%), onion rust (32%), Blue Mold Rot (10%) and seedling. Fungal species were consistently isolated from all infected samples. In which Aspergillus was isolated from 82% samples, Puccinia Alli was from 70%, Alternaria porri from 52%, Fusarium spp from 42% Penicillium spp from 40%, Peronospora destructor from 35%, Pyhtaium from 23% and Rhizoctonia solani from 18% of samples. These fungal species consistently isolated and cultured from diseased onion plants of different fields in Swat. Keywords: Onion crop, Fungal diseases, Aspergillus.

The title compound, C10H9F3O3, represents the structure of racemic Mosher's Acid (systematic name: 3,3,3-trifluoro-2-methoxy-2-phenylpropanoic acid), a carboxylic acid that when resolved can be employed as a chiral derivatizing agent. The compound contains a carboxylic acid group, a methoxy group and a trifluoromethyl substituent on an asymmetric benzylic carbon atom. The two independent molecules in the asymmetric unit form a non-centrosymmetric homochiral dimer via intermolecularly hydrogen-bonded head-to-tail dimers with graph-set notation R 2 2(8) and donor–acceptor hydrogen-bonding distances of 2.6616 (13) and 2.6801 (13) Å.
