Why it matters: SPMS is a stage of MS in which disability steadily worsens, often without the relapses that define earlier phases of the disease.

Adapzo®Active, BASF Agricultural Solutions’ latest fungicide innovation, was designated a new and distinct mode of action by the Fungicide Resistance Action Committee (FRAC). Chemically known as flufenoxadiazam, the active ingredient is the industry’s first histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor and the sole representative of the newly established “FRAC Group Code 56”.

Schizophrenia’s genetic landscape just expanded dramatically. A new study in Nature Genetics identifies 641 previously unrecognized genes associated with schizophrenia , thanks to a modeling framework that captures how distant genetic variants regulate gene expression through co‑expression networks . The work reframes schizophrenia not as a collection of isolated genetic hits, but as a disorder shaped by long‑range regulatory relationships across the brain. The study is titled, “Co‑expression‑based models improve eQTL predictions for transcriptome‑wide association studies and highlight new schizophrenia‑associated genes .”

世界农化网中文网报道：根结线虫是危害蔬菜等经济与粮食作物最严重的植物寄生线虫之一，寄主超3000种，全球年经济损失达数百亿美元。传统化学杀线虫剂面临抗药性和环境风险，亟需绿色替代技术。RNAi技术通过外源dsRNA特异性沉默靶基因，具有高度选择性和环境友好性，目前在害虫和病毒防治领域已率先实现商业化。然而，裸露的dsRNA在土壤中易降解，线虫对其摄取效率低下，加之不同物种及靶基因对RNAi的敏感性差异大、缺乏通用递送系统，长期制约其田间应用，相关研究仍多停留在实验室阶段。

四唑吡氨酯（Picarbutrazox）是由大日本墨水公司发现，2004年转让给日本曹达公司开发的四唑肟类杀菌剂。

日前，国务院第839号令《中华人民共和国矿产资源法实施条例》正式落地，磷矿与锂、钴、稀土等共36种关键矿产一道，被写入国家战略性矿产资源目录，实施探、产、供、储、销全链条统筹管控。

化工中试基地正逐步从规模扩张迈向质效升级新阶段。近年来，全国化工中试基地建设热潮持续，但重硬件轻服务、重建设轻运营的现象普遍存在。不少中试基地投入巨大却科研成果转化链条不畅通、综合性服务体系不完善。如何破解共性发展瓶颈、探寻多元破局路径，已成为行业亟待解决的核心问题。
