Dissecting the Role of Serotonin in Drought Responses of Rocket Plants: From Serotonin Accumulation to Tryptophan-ABA Associations. [PDF]
Physiol PlantABSTRACT In recent years, serotonin has been proposed as a signaling molecule in several plant physiological processes, although evidence supporting this function remains limited to date. In particular, its involvement under water deficit conditions is poorly characterised, especially regarding its mechanism of action. This study aimed to determine the

Design of a Bacteriophage-Based Product for Biocontrol of Fire Blight and Black Rot. [PDF]
Microb BiotechnolPhytopathogenic bacteria threaten crops, and while chemical pesticides are effective, they harm ecosystems. Bacteriophages like ɸEF1, ɸEF2 and ɸXF1 show promise as biocontrol agents. They remain stable at 4°C and 20°C under neutral conditions, with stability enhanced by additives like CaCO3, improving field effectiveness for ecological and sustainable ...
