One of the main problems that fruit health goes through in recent years is the difficult eradication of their fungal pathogens after harvesting. This concern to the whole world because it represents huge losses of production, ...

Abstract: Contamination with a variety of filamentous fungi can cause deterioration of food and agricultural products. Fungal contaminations reduce the quality and the shelf life of fresh fruits and are one of the main ...

The antifungal activity of a library of twenty-four aromatic methoximes was examined against five representative postharvest phytopathogenic fungi. The panel included Penicillium digitatum, Penicillium italicum, Rhizopus ...

Penicillium expansum and Botrytis cinerea are well-known postharvest pathogens. They produce blue rot and gray rot, respectively. Biocontrol, an alternative to fungicides for the control of these phytopathogens, employs ...

The present study investigated the biological synthesis, characterization and antifungal activity of silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs). The production of Ag NPs was performed using the culture supernatants of two yeasts: ...

The antifungal activity of pterophyllin 2, pterophyllin 4, a 5-desmethyl analog of the latter and some of their synthetic intermediates, against three postharvest phytopathogenic fungi, was evaluated. The target fungi were ...

The control of phytopathogenic fungi has been carried out by synthetic chemical fungicides for many years. However, some studies showed the potential risk they present to the environment and human health. The use of chitosan ...

Considering the economic losses in the fruit processing industry caused by phytopathogenic diseases, Bacillus sp. SL-6 was isolated from freshwater samples of the Cruz de Piedra Reservoir (San Luis, Argentina) and selected ...
