Preharvest application of antagonistic yeasts for the control of fungal pathogens in organic peach and plum orchards

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 106, Issue 10, Page 5881-5889, 15 August 2026.
Abstract BACKGROUND The control of fungal diseases in organic fruit production remains a major challenge due to the limited availability of authorized phytosanitary tools. This study evaluates the efficacy of two antagonistic yeasts – Metschnikowia pulcherrima L672 and Hanseniaspora uvarum L793 – in organic peach ( Prunus persica ) and plum ( Prunus ...

Identification of Siderophores With Unexpected Antibacterial Properties From Actinoplanes teichomyceticus

ChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 15, 14 August 2026.
Here, we report isolation of acyl‐desferrioxamines from Actinoplanes teichomyceticus as a mixture of iron and aluminum complexes. The fraction containing these molecules exhibited antibacterial activity. We synthesized these molecules and found that they only exhibited antibacterial activity in the presence of aluminum.

Phytopathogen emergence in the genomics era

Trends in Plant Science, 2015
Phytopathogens are a global threat to plant agriculture and biodiversity. The genomics era has lead to an exponential rise in comparative gene and genome studies of both economically significant and insignificant microorganisms. In this review we highlight some recent comparisons and discuss how they identify shared genes or genomic regions associated ...

Integrated Evaluation of the Multifunctional Bioactivity of Curcuma zedoaria (Christm.) Roscoe Essential Oil: Antimicrobial, Insecticidal, and Postharvest Effects on Fresh Ginger

eFood, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Multifunctional bioactivity of Curcuma zedoaria essential oil. ABSTRACT Plant‐derived essential oils are increasingly investigated as sustainable alternatives for food preservation and crop protection; however, their multifunctional applicability under postharvest conditions remains insufficiently explored.

Differentiation of Phytopathogenic agrobacterium spp.

Pesticidi i fitomedicina, 2011
Due to the difficulties in differentiation of phytopathogenic Agrobacterium spp. and lack of a standardized protocol, we carried out selection and evaluation of suitable methods based on the bacterial physiological, genetic and pathogenic properties. Strains of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, A. rhizogenes and A.
