Applications of Chlorine Dioxide Gas for Control of Bacterial Soft Rot in Tomatoes [PDF]

Plant Disease, 2007
Chlorine dioxide (ClO2) gas was generated from a mixture of sodium chlorite and ferric chloride plus water (impregnated into zeolite) in a Tyvek sachet over a 2- or 24-h period. The gas was distributed by a fan over wound-inoculated tomato fruit (Lycopersicon esculentum) enclosed in a sealed aluminum pressure cooker.

Plant‐Derived Nanoparticles (PDNPs) in Food Safety and Preservation: Pros and Cons

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Plant‐derived nanoparticles (PDNPs) synthesized via green methods demonstrate antimicrobial, antioxidant, barrier, eco‐friendly, and cost‐effective properties, while facing challenges in large‐scale production, synthesis standardization, and absence of specific food safety regulations. ABSTRACT Ensuring food safety and extending shelf life across fresh

Application of CFS‐Loaded CMC/GEL Spray Coating for the Small Fruit Blueberries Preservation

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2026.
Schematic illustration showing the fabrication of the CFS‐loaded CMC/GEL composite spray coating and its application in the blueberry preservation. The preservation experiment indicated that the blueberries sprayed with 100% CFS/CMC/GEL exhibited a lower decay rate, reduced weight loss, and lower malondialdehyde (MDA) level compared with the control ...

A novel genus of Pectobacterium bacteriophages display broad host range by targeting several species of Danish soft rot isolates

Virus Research
The bacterial diseases black leg and soft rot in potatoes cause heavy losses of potatoes worldwide. Bacteria within the genus Pectobacteriaceae are the causative agents of black leg and soft rot. The use of antibiotics in agriculture is heavily regulated

Comparative Valorization of Diverse Food Waste Streams Into Functional ZnO Nanoparticles for Postharvest Pathogen Control

ChemistrySelect, Volume 11, Issue 31, 17 August 2026.
Due to varying amounts of phytochemical constituents, diverse food waste have shown to differentially mediate the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles with unique physicochemical properties and antimicrobial performance. In this study, raspberry pomace (RP) amongst other waste produces well‐dispersed nanoparticles with superior overall activity against food ...

Beneath the Bark: Molecular Determinants of Adaptation and Infection in Bacterial Pathogens of Woody Hosts

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
Bacterial pathogens colonise woody hosts by integrating metabolic adaptation, effector‐mediated immune suppression, cell wall remodelling and EPS‐ and toxin‐supported persistence. ABSTRACT Bacterial pathogens of woody plants represent a pervasive yet underexplored threat to global agriculture and forestry, causing devastating diseases in fruit trees ...

A Novel Plant Secondary Metabolite‐Binding Gene Family Required for Full Virulence in Pectobacterium parvum

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2026.
A newly identified virulence family from Pectobacterium parvum that binds plant defensive compounds (e.g., solanidine) with high affinity enhances bacterial tolerance and is required for full virulence. This trade‐off between defence and growth reveals a key host‐adaptation strategy.

Borates in Biomedicine: A Retrospective Analysis

ChemMedChem, Volume 21, Issue 11, 15 June 2026.
The graphical abstract displays the molecular structure of boric acid, an hormetic substance with pleiotropic bioactivity. Complementing previous studies describing the use of organoboron compounds as potent therapeutics for use in anticancer, antimicrobial, antiparasitic, and related other pharmaceutical uses, this study focuses on the emerging ...

Salmonella enterica Suppresses Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum Population and Soft Rot Progression by Acidifying the Microaerophilic Environment

mBio, 2013
Although enteric human pathogens are usually studied in the context of their animal hosts, a significant portion of their life cycle occurs on plants.
