Natural Pesticides in Crop Protection: Comparative Advantages, Ecological Risks, and Future Directions

Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Although synthetic pesticides have long been used to protect crops, their widespread use has led to significant health and environmental problems, including ecological contamination, resistant pest populations, and hazardous residues in food. These restrictions have sparked interest in natural pesticides (NPs), particularly the secondary metabolites of

Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum – the causal agent of broccoli soft rot in Serbia [PDF]

Pesticidi i Fitomedicina, 2014
Soft rot symptoms were observed on broccoli plants in several commercial fields in the western part of Serbia. Six strains of bacteria were isolated from diseased tissues and identified as Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp.

Screening and Mechanism Study of Antibacterial Activity of Quinoline Compounds

Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Quinoline compounds possess a wide range of pharmacological activities. In this paper, the antibacterial activity of 59 quinoline derivatives was evaluated against three plant bacteria in vitro. Among all the derivatives, 8‐hydroxyquinoline (8HQ) demonstrated significant antibacterial activity against Rs, Aac, Xoc, Xoo, Xac, Xcm, Xcc, Psa, and Xf, with

Use of Cold Plasma for Phytosanitation and Decontamination of Food Products: A Review

Future Postharvest and Food, Volume 2, Issue 4, Page 390-410, December 2025.
Applications of cold plasma in food industry. ABSTRACT Consumers are increasingly demanding healthy and nutrient‐rich food. Although conventional thermal processing techniques (pasteurization, sterilization, and blanching) ensure food safety and extend shelf life, they often negatively impact nutritional value and sensory quality, and they also consume

The Influence of the Conditions of Cultivation of Lactic Acid Bacteria on Their Antagonistic Activity Against Some Plant Pathogenic Bacteria

Plant Direct, Volume 9, Issue 9, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Plant diseases caused by pathogenic microorganisms result in significant damage to agriculture. Lactic acid bacteria (LAB), in particular strains of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum (L. plantarum), are used as one of the biocontrol methods against plant pathogenic bacteria due to high antagonistic activity associated with their metabolic ...

RNA‐binding proteins orchestrating immunity in plants

The Plant Journal, Volume 123, Issue 5, September 2025.
SUMMARY RNA‐binding proteins (RBPs) direct the function and fate of RNA throughout the RNA lifecycle and play important roles in plant immunity, orchestrating the post‐transcriptional reprogramming of the transcriptome following induction of plant immune responses, a process that we term ‘RBP‐mediated immunity’. Although the importance of specific RBPs

Can Metagenomic Analyses Be Used Effectively in Safe Food Production?

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2025.
This graphical abstract illustrates the metagenomic workflow applied in food safety. It outlines the process from microbial detection in food matrices to genome‐level identification via next‐generation sequencing (NGS). The visualization emphasizes the integration of modern sequencing technologies to assess foodborne pathogens and microbial communities

The Enzyme Glucose‐1‐Phosphate Thymidylyltransferase RmlA Plays a Crucial Role in the Pathogenesis of Pectobacterium actinidiae GX1

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 26, Issue 7, July 2025.
Deletion of the rmlA gene negatively affected PCAP‐1a yield, structure and directly diminished GX1 pathogenicity. Furthermore, mutations within RmlA's substrate binding site impaired its ability to bind G‐1‐P and dTTP. ABSTRACT Pectobacterium actinidiae is one of the primary pathogens that causes summer canker disease in kiwifruit, yet its pathogenic ...

Delayed Chlorosis in Arabidopsis Ecotype Dijon‐G During Bacterial Infection and Dark‐Induced Senescence

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 177, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
ABSTRACT Comparative evaluation of defence responses in different Arabidopsis ecotypes to pathogens is useful for understanding how plants acquire disease resistance and finding valuable genetic resources for disease resistance. In this study, leaf chlorosis was delayed in Arabidopsis ecotype Dijon‐G (Di‐G) in response to Xanthomonas campestris pv ...
