Pleurotus ostreatus , a highly nutritious edible mushroom, has been reported be rich bioactive compounds. This study evaluated comparative antioxidant activity and phytochemical contents of five extracts P. : aqueous (AE), chloroform (CE), ethanol (EE), methanol (ME) n-hexane (HE). The composition were determined using standard in-vitro assay methods. Results showed that contained alkaloids, tannins, saponins, flavonoids, terpenoids, phenolics, cardiac glycosides, carbohydrates, anthrocyanins, betacyanins varied amounts. CE had highest flavonoid content (104.83 ± 29.46 mg/100 g); AE gave phenol 24.14 0.02 g; tannin was EE (25.12 0.06 HE amounts alkaloids (187.60 0.28 g) saponins (0.16 0.00 g).

Fungal communities around plant roots play crucial roles in maintaining health. Nonetheless, the responses of fungal to bacterial wilt disease remain poorly understood. Here, structure and function across four consecutive compartments (bulk soil, rhizosphere, rhizoplane root endosphere) were investigated under influence disease. The results showed that caused different assembly patterns bulk endosphere. Under disease, a decreased diversity was observed endosphere, completely kinds genera enriched compartments. complexity stability networks less affected, but number key members significantly reduced diseased samples. Functional predictions based on FUNGuild suggested with pathogen infection, saprotrophic fungi increased pathotrophic (potential animal pathogens) This work provides deep insight into effects along soil-root continuum, is helpful identify plant-associated beneficial resist Not applicable.

Postharvest decay of vegetables and fruits presents a significant threat confronting sustainable food production worldwide, in the recent times, applying synthetic fungicides has become most popular technique managing postharvest losses. However, there are concerns reported proofs hazardous impacts on consumers’ health environment, traceable to application chemical treatments as preservatives fresh produce. Physical methods, other hand, cause damage produce, exposing it even more infections. Therefore, healthier environmentally friendly alternatives existing methods for decays produce should be advocated. There is increasing consensus that utilization biological control agents (BCAs), mainly fungi, represents effective strategy controlling losses compared physical treatments. Secretion antifungal compounds, parasitism, well competition nutrients space common antagonistic mechanisms employed by these BCAs. This article provides an overview (i) currently used management diseases highlighting their limitations, (ii) use biocontrol alternative such diseases, with emphasis fungal antagonists, mode action, and, importantly, advantages when commonly used. We therefore hypothesize antagonists prevention loss methods. Finally, particular attention given gaps observed establishing beneficial microbes BCAs factors hamper development, particularly terms shelf life, efficacy, commercialization, legislation procedures.

Abstract Background Plants can retain atmospheric particulate matter (PM) through their unique foliar microstructures, which has a profound impact on the phyllosphere microbial communities. Yet, underlying mechanisms linking retention by microstructures to variations in communities remain mystery. In this study, we conducted field experiment with ten Ulmus lines. A series of analytical techniques, including scanning electron microscopy, atomic force and high-throughput amplicon sequencing, were applied examine relationship between surface PM retention, diversity L. Results We characterized leaf across Chun exhibited highly undulated abaxial dense stomatal distribution. Langya Xingshan possessed trichomes, while Lieye, Zuiweng, Daguo had sparsely distributed, short trichomes. Duomai, Qingyun, Lang sparse stomata flat surfaces, whereas Jinye distributed but extensive stomata.

Trichomes substantially contributed larger undulations enhanced as evidenced positive correlations trichome density adaxial raw microroughness values. Phyllosphere patterns varied among lines, bacteria dominated Sediminibacterium fungi Mycosphaerella Alternaria Cladosporium . Redundancy analysis confirmed that trichomes facilitated capture -associated fungi, less impacted struggled adhere microstructures.

Therefore, study aims isolate endophytic test their ability stimulate resistance against disease possibility combining these isolates with salicylic as a therapeutic nutrient for tomato plants. Two fungal endophytes were isolated from Vigna unguiculata seeds (VUS) identified Aspergillus oryzae tubingensis according morphological molecular identification. Under pot circumstances, influence two fusarial depressants stimulants was evaluated. combination A. exhibited simultaneous efficacy 80% conferring protection wilt, while simultaneously resulting notable decreasing index 16.66%.

The present study investigated the antibacterial mechanism, control efficiency, and nontarget toxicity of actinomycin X2 (Act-X2) against Xanthomonas citri subsp. (Xcc) for first time. Act-X2 almost completely inhibited proliferation Xcc in growth curve assay at a concentration 0.25 MIC (minimum inhibitory concentration, = 31.25 μg/mL). This effect was achieved by increasing production reactive oxygen species (ROS), blocking formation biofilms, obstructing synthesis intracellular proteins, decreasing enzymatic activities malate dehydrogenase (MDH) succinate (SDH) Xcc. Molecular docking quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis results indicated that steadily bonded to RNA polymerase, ribosome, dehydrogenase, inhibit their activities, thus drastically reducing expression levels related genes. showed far more effectiveness than commercially available pesticide Cu2(OH)3Cl prevention therapy citrus canker disease.
