Chitosan oligosaccharides treatment preserves quality, increases disease resistance, and extends the shelf life of bananas during storage

open access: yesFood Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Chitosan oligosaccharides postharvest treatment effectively preserved quality, enhanced disease resistance, and increased shelf life of fruit. Abstract Different concentrations of chitosan oligosaccharide (COS) (T0: Control, T1: 50 mg/L, T2: 100 mg/L, T3: 250 mg/L, T4: 500 mg/L, and T5: 1000 mg/L COS) were used to investigate the effects of this ...

Effects of Glyphosate and Glyphosate‐Based Herbicides on the Mammalian Gut Microbiome: A Critical Review

open access: yesJournal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glyphosate has long been considered to pose negligible direct risk to mammals on the grounds that its molecular target, 5‐enolpyruvylshikimate‐3‐phosphate synthase (EPSPS), of the shikimate pathway, is absent from animal cells. This rationale is inaccurate as a complete toxicological argument, because the shikimate pathway is present in some ...

Combined effects of kombucha consumption and aerobic exercise on oxidative stress and metabolic parameters in Wistar rats

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Kombucha, a fermented tea containing symbiotic bacteria and yeast, and aerobic exercise each confer distinct health benefits, but their combined effects remain poorly understood. This study investigated the combined effects of consuming kombucha fermented for 7 days and performing moderate aerobic exercise on physiological outcomes ...

The AVR4 Elicitor Protein of Cladosporium fulvum Binds to Fungal Components with High Affinity

open access: yesMolecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2002
The interaction between tomato and the fungal pathogen Cladosporium fulvum complies with the gene-for-gene system. Strains of C. fulvum that produce race-specific elicitor AVR4 induce a hypersensitive response, leading to resistance, in tomato plants ...

In Utero HSC Transplantation for Sickle Cell Disease: A Potential Therapeutic Approach That Overcomes Complications of Current Therapies

open access: yesPrenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell disease (SCD) affects millions worldwide but has limited treatment options, most of which carry significant side effects. At present, the only curative treatment for SCD is allogeneic or gene‐modified autologous hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation (Tx).

Salicylic acid as an effective elicitor for improved taxol production in endophytic fungus Pestalotiopsis microspora.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Salicylic acid (SA) is an effective elicitor to increase taxol production in Pestalotiopsis microspora. Addition of SA at the concentration of 300 μM yielded taxol 625.47 μg L-1, 45- fold higher than that of the control.
