ZIF-8@Hydroxyapatite Composite as a High Potential Material for Prolonged Delivery of Agrochemicals. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2024; 16:29305-29313.

Abstract
Although agrochemical practices can enhance agricultural productivity, their intensive application has resulted in the deterioration of ecosystems. Therefore, it is necessary to develop more efficient and less toxic methods against pests and infections while improving crop productivity. Moving toward sustainable development, in this work, we originally described the preparation of a composite (ZIF-8@HA) consisting of the coating of zeolitic-like metal-organic framework (MOF) ZIF-8 (based on Zn, an essential micronutrient in plants with antibacterial, antifungal, and antifouling properties) with hydroxyapatite (HA) nanoparticles (i.e., nanofertilizer). The interaction between the HA and ZIF-8 has been characterized through a combination of techniques, such as microscopic techniques, where the presence of a HA coating is demonstrated; or by analysis of the surface charge with a dramatic change in the Z-potential (from +18.7 ± 0.8 to -27.6 ± 0.7 mV for ZIF-8 and ZIF-8@HA, respectively). Interestingly, the interaction of HA with ZIF-8 delays the MOF degradation (from 4 h for pristine ZIF-8 to 168 h for HA-coated material), providing a slower and gradual release of zinc. After a comprehensive characterization, the potential combined fertilizer and bactericidal effect of ZIF-8@HA was investigated in wheat (Triticum aestivum) seeds and Pseudomonas syringae (Ps). ZIF-8@HA (7.3 ppm) demonstrated a great fertilizer effect, increasing shoot (9.4 %) and root length (27.1 %) of wheat seeds after 11 days at 25 °C under dark conditions, improving the results obtained with HA, ZIF-8, or ZnSO4 or even physically mixed constituents (HA + ZIF-8). It was also effective in the growth inhibition (>80 % of growth inhibition) of Ps, a vegetal pathogen causing considerable crop decline. Therefore, this work demonstrates the potential of MOF@HA composites and paves the way as a promising agrochemical with improved fertilizer and antibacterial properties.

Abstract
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) possess a variety of interesting features related to their composition and structure that make them excellent candidates to be used in agriculture. However, few studies have reported their use as delivery agents of agrochemicals. In this work, the natural polyphenol chlorogenic acid (CGA) was entrapped via simple impregnation in the titanium aminoterephthalate MOF, MIL-125-NH2. A combination of experimental and computational techniques was used to understand and quantify the encapsulated CGA in MIL-125-NH2. Subsequently, CGA delivery studies were carried out in water at different pHs, showing a fast release of CGA during the first 2 h (17.3 ± 0.3% at pH = 6.5). In vivo studies were also performed against larvae of mealworm (Tenebrio molitor), evidencing the long-lasting insecticidal activity of CGA@MIL-125-NH2. This report demonstrates the potential of MOFs in the efficient release of agrochemicals, and paves the way to their study against in vivo models.

Polyphenol oxidase inactivation from apple juice by Al-based metal-organic frameworks: New anti-browning strategy in fruits and vegetables. Food Chem 2024; 439:138178.

Abstract
Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) is critical due to enzymatic browning in fruits and vegetables, developing economic impact in fruits industry. Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOF) have shown interesting characteristics such as water stability, low toxicity, and good adsorption yield, making them good candidates for PPO inactivation. Al-based-MOFs, MIL-53(Al), DUT-5, and MIL-110 were tested as PPO inactivators in apple juice by enzyme-MOF interactions at r.t. through two possible mechanisms, i) substrate scavengers (substrates:catechol and 4-methylcatechol) or ii) enzyme activity modifiers. The scavenging behavior of Al-based-MOFs was moderate, in the same magnitude, being catechol adsorption better than 4-methylcatechol. PPO activity was reduced by at least 70% by MIL-53(Al)/DUT-5 in 10/30 min respectively, and MIL-110 inactivated PPO in 50 min with some structural modifications. Enzyme-MOF interactions are major responsible for PPO inactivation. This could be a new applicability of MOFs, as an alternate PPO inactivation process, easily included in juice processing, retaining sensorial/nutritional properties, developed at r.t thus energy-cost-effective.

Abstract
Plant synthetic biology is applied in sustainable agriculture, clean energy, and biopharmaceuticals, addressing crop improvement, pest resistance, and plant-based vaccine production by introducing exogenous genes into plants. This technique faces challenges delivering genes due to plant cell walls and intact cell membranes. Novel approaches are required to address this challenge, such as utilizing nanomaterials known for their efficiency and biocompatibility in gene delivery. This work investigates metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) for gene delivery in intact plant cells by infiltration. Hence, small-sized ZIF-8 nanoparticles (below 20 nm) were synthesized and demonstrated effective DNA/RNA delivery into Nicotiana benthamiana leaves and Arabidopsis thaliana roots, presenting a promising and simplified method for gene delivery in intact plant cells. We further demonstrate that small-sized ZIF-8 nanoparticles protect RNA from RNase degradation and successfully silence an endogenous gene by delivering siRNA in N. benthamiana leaves.

Abstract
With aggravated abiotic and biotic stresses from increasing climate change, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have emerged as versatile toolboxes for developing environmentally friendly agrotechnologies aligned with agricultural practices and safety. Herein, we have explored MOF-based agrotechnologies, focusing on their intrinsic properties, such as structural and catalytic characteristics. Briefly, MOFs possess a sponge-like porous structure that can be easily stimulated by the external environment, facilitating the controlled release of agrochemicals, thus enabling precise delivery of agrochemicals. Additionally, MOFs offer the ability to remove or degrade certain pollutants by capturing them within their pores, facilitating the development of MOF-based remediation technologies for agricultural environments. Furthermore, the metal-organic hybrid nature of MOFs grants them abundant catalytic activities, encompassing photocatalysis, enzyme-mimicking catalysis, and electrocatalysis, allowing for the integration of MOFs into degradation and sensing agrotechnologies. Finally, the future challenges that MOFs face in agrotechnologies were proposed to promote the development of sustainable agriculture practices.

Abstract
The misuse and overdose of antimicrobial medicines are fostering the emergence of novel drug-resistant pathogens, providing negative repercussions not only on the global healthcare system due to the rise of long-term or chronic patients and inefficient therapies but also on the world trade, productivity, and, in short, to the global economic growth. In view of these scenarios, novel action plans to constrain this antibacterial resistance are needed. Thus, given the proven antiproliferative tumoral and microbial features of thiosemicarbazone (TSCN) ligands, we have here synthesized a novel effective antibacterial copper-thiosemicarbazone complex, demonstrating both its solubility profile and complex stability under physiological conditions, along with their safety and antibacterial activity in contact with human cellular nature and two most predominant bacterial strains, respectively. A significant growth inhibition (17% after 20 h) is evidenced over time, paving the way toward an effective antibacterial therapy based on these copper-TSCN complexes.

Abstract
Strawberry anthracnose (Colletotrichum gloeosporioides) exhibits a high pathogenicity, capable of directly infecting leaves through natural openings, resulting in devastating impacts on strawberries. Here, nanocomposite (CuS@Cu-MOF) was prepared with a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 35.3% and a strong response to near-infrared light (NIR) by locally growing CuS nanoparticles on the surface of a copper-based metal-organic framework (Cu-MOF) through in situ sulfurization. The porosity of Cu-MOF facilitated efficient encapsulation of the pesticide difenoconazole within CuS@Cu-MOF (DIF/CuS@Cu-MOF), achieving a loading potential of 19.18 ± 1.07%. Under NIR light irradiation, DIF/CuS@Cu-MOF showed an explosive release of DIF, which was 2.7 times higher than that under dark conditions. DIF/CuS@Cu-MOF exhibited a 43.9% increase in efficacy against C. gloeosporioides compared to difenoconazole microemulsion (DIF ME), demonstrating prolonged effectiveness. The EC50 values for DIF and DIF/CuS@Cu-MOF were 0.219 and 0.189 μg/mL, respectively. Confocal laser scanning microscopy demonstrated that the fluorescently labeled CuS@Cu-MOF acted as a penetrative carrier for the uptake of hyphae. Furthermore, DIF/CuS@Cu-MOF exhibited more substantial resistance to rainwater wash-off than DIF ME, with retention levels on the surfaces of cucumber leaves (hydrophilicity) and peanut leaves (hydrophobicity) increasing by 36.5-fold and 9.4-fold, respectively. These findings underscore the potential of nanocomposite to enhance pesticide utilization efficiency and leaf retention.

Abstract
Herein, a series of chitosan oligosaccharide copper complexes modified with pyridine groups (CPSx-Cu complexes) were successfully prepared via the Schiff base reaction and ion complexation reaction for slow-release fungicide. The structures of the synthesized derivatives were characterized via Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and 1H and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and the unit configuration of the complexes was calculated using Gaussian software. The slow-release performance experiment demonstrated that the cumulative copper ion release rate of CPSx-Cu complexes was dependent on the type of substituents on the pyridine ring. Furthermore, the in vitro and in vivo antifungal activities of the CPSx-Cu complexes were investigated. At a concentration of 0.4 mg/mL, CPSx-Cu complexes completely inhibited the growth of Pythium vexans and Phytophthora capsici. Results indicated that CPSx-Cu complexes with slow-release ability exhibited better antifungal activity than thiodiazole-copper and copper sulfate basic. This study confirmed that combining chitosan oligosaccharide with bioactive pyridine groups and copper ions is an effective approach to further developing slow-release copper fungicides, providing new possibilities for the application of copper fungicides in green agriculture. This study lays the foundation for further studies on biogreen copper fungicides.

Abstract
By releasing an adequate amount of active ingredients when triggered by environmental and biological factors, the nanopesticides that respond to stimuli can enhance the efficacy of pesticides and contribute to the betterment of both the environment and food safety. The versatile nature and highly porous structure of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have recently garnered significant interest as drug carriers for various applications. In recent years, there has been significant progress in the development of metal-organic frameworks as nanocarriers for pesticide applications. This review focuses on the advancements, challenges, and potential future enhancements in the design of metal-organic frameworks as nanocarriers in the field of pesticides. We explore the various stimuli-responsive metal-organic frameworks carriers, particularly focusing on zeolitic imidazolate framework-8 (ZIF-8), which have been successfully activated by external stimuli such as pH-responsive or multiple stimuli-responsive mechanisms. In conclusion, this paper presents the existing issues and future prospects of metal-organic frameworks-based nanopesticides with stimuli-responsive controlled release.

Abstract
Accurate pesticide identification is of great importance for regulating food safety. However, the discrimination between organophosphorus pesticides (OPs) and carbamate pesticides (CPs) is still a challenge for existing analytical methods based on cholinesterase inhibition. It mainly because of the similar inhibitory effect of OPs and CPs on cholinesterase. Herein, we found that OPs and CPs differentially affected nanozymes with laccase-like activity, which would be interfered by OPs in different degrees rather than CPs. Thus, we fabricated a nanozyme sensor array and successfully achieved the OPs identification and similar individual discrimination, ignoring the interference from CPs or other potential interferents (antibiotics, ions, other pesticides). On the basis of nanozyme sensor array, a portable method using smartphone was constructed and utilized to determine OPs in fruits and vegetables. This work would contribute to the development of portable sensors and the highly selective identification and discrimination of OPs in complex samples.

Abstract
Phytopathogen, pest, weed, and nutrient deficiency cause severe losses to global crop yields every year. As the core engine, agrochemicals drive the continuous development of modern agriculture to meet the demand for agricultural productivity and increase the environmental burden due to inefficient use. With new advances in nanotechnology, introducing nanomaterials into agriculture to realize agrochemical accurate and targeted delivery has brought new opportunities to support the sustainable development of green agriculture. Metal-Organic frameworks (MOFs), which weave metal ions/clusters and organic ligands into porous frameworks, have exhibited significant advantages in constructing biotic/abiotic stimuli-responsive nanoplatforms for controlled agrochemical delivery. This review emphasizes the recent developments of MOF-based nanoplatforms for crop protection, including phytopathogen, pest, and weed control, and crop growth promotion, including fertilizer/plant hormone delivery. Finally, forward-looking perspectives and challenges on MOF-based nanoplatforms for future applications in crop protection and growth promotion are also discussed.

Abstract
Pesticide contamination is a global issue, affecting nearly 44% of the global farming population, and disproportionately affecting farmers and agricultural workers in developing countries. Despite this, global pesticide usage is on the rise, with the growing demand of global food production with increasing population. Different types of porous materials, such as carbon and zeolites, have been explored for the remediation of pesticides from the environment. However, there are some limitations with these materials, especially due to lack of functional groups and relatively modest surface areas. In this regard, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) provide us with a better alternative to conventionally used porous materials due to their versatile and highly porous structure. Recently, a number of MOFs have been studied for the extraction of pesticides from the environment as well as for targeted and controlled release of agrochemicals. Different types of pesticides and conditions have been investigated, and MOFs have proved their potential in agricultural applications. In this review, the latest studies on delivery and extraction of pesticides using MOFs are systematically reviewed, along with some recent studies on greener ways of pest control through the slow release of chemical compounds from MOF composites. Finally, we present our insights into the key issues concerning the development and translational applications of using MOFs for targeted delivery and pesticide control.
