Great are the expectations for a new generation of antimicrobials, and strenuous research efforts towards exploration diverse molecular scaffolds-possibly natural origin - aimed at synthesis compounds against spread hazardous fungi. Also high but winding paths leading to definition biological targets specifically fitting drug's structural characteristics. The present study is addressed inspect differential behaviours cinnamaldehyde benzaldehyde thiosemicarbazone scaffolds, exploiting...
Aflatoxins are secondary fungal metabolites that can contaminate feed and food. They a cause of growing concern worldwide, because they potent carcinogenic agents. Thiosemicarbazones molecules possess interesting antiaflatoxigenic properties, but in order to use them as crop-protective agents, their cytotoxic genotoxic profiles must first be assessed. In this paper, group thiosemicarbazones copper complex reported compounds able antagonize aflatoxin biosynthesis, growth, sclerotia biogenesis...
As key players in biotic stress response of plants, jasmonic acid (JA) and its derivatives cover a specific prominent role pathogens-mediated signaling hence are promising candidates for sustainable management phytopathogenic fungi. Recently, JA directed antimicrobial effects on plant pathogens has been suggested, supporting the theory oxylipins as double gamers plant-pathogen interaction. Based these premises, six (dihydrojasmone cis-jasmone, two thiosemicarbazonic their corresponding...
Microbial multi-level interactions are essential to control the success of spreading and survival most microbes in natural environments. Phytopathogenic mycotoxigenic fungal species, such as Aspergillus flavus, represent an important issue food safety. Usually, non-toxigenic strains exploited for biocontrol strategies mitigate infections by toxigenic strains. To comprehend all biological variables involved aflatoxin biosynthesis, possibly evaluate interplay between A. flavus during...
The control of the fungal contamination on crops is considered a priority by sanitary authorities an increasing number countries, and this also due to fact that geographic areas interested in mycotoxin outbreaks are widening. Among different pre- post-harvest strategies may be applied prevent and/or aflatoxin contamination, fungicides still play prominent role; however, despite countless efforts, date problem food feed remains unsolved, since essential factors affect aflatoxins production...
Amongst the various approaches to contain aflatoxin contamination of feed and food commodities, use inhibitors fungal growth and/or toxin biosynthesis is showing great promise for implementation or replacement conventional pesticide-based strategies. Several inhibition mechanisms were found taking place at different levels in biology aflatoxin-producing species such as Aspergillus flavus: compounds that influence production may block biosynthetic pathway through direct control genes...
Crop yield and plant products quality are directly or indirectly affected by climate alterations. Adverse climatic conditions often promote the occurrence of different abiotic stresses, which can reduce enhance susceptibility to pests pathogens. Aflatoxin producing fungi, in particular, whose diffusion deleterious consequences on cereals commodities have been demonstrated highly depend temperature humidity that threaten increasingly larger areas. Biological methods using intraspecific...
