Our previous study showed that cinnamaldehyde (CA) significantly inhibited the mycelial growth of Geotrichum citri-aurantii, one main postharvest pathogens in citrus fruits. This investigated antifungal mechanism CA against G. citri-aurantii. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission (TEM) images treatment led to clear morphological changes cell walls membranes However, membrane integrity, total lipids ergosterol contents were not apparently affected by treatment. Notably,...
Green mold caused by Penicillium digitatum is the most damaging postharvest diseases of citrus fruit. Previously, we have observed that citral dose-dependently inhibited mycelial growth P. digitatum, with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) 1.78 mg/mL, but underlying molecular mechanism barely understood.In this study, transcriptional profiling control and 1/2MIC-citral treated mycelia after 30 min exposure were analyzed RNA-Seq. A total 6355 genes, including 2322 up-regulated 4033...
Citral exhibits strong antifungal activity against Penicillium digitatum. In this study, 41 over-expressed and 84 repressed proteins in P. digitatum after 1.0 μL/mL of citral exposure for 30 min were identified by the iTRAQ technique. The closely related with oxidative phosphorylation, TCA cycle RNA transport. mitochondrial complex I, II, III, IV V, which are involved phosphorylation drastically affected. Among them, activities I apparently suppressed, whereas those III V significantly...
Ergosterol (ERG) is a potential target for the development of antifungal agents against Penicillium digitatum, pathogen green mold in citrus fruits. This study examined mechanism by which citronellal, typical terpenoid Cymbopogon nardus essential oil, acts on ergosterol to exhibit its activity P. digitatum. We previously reported that citronellal inhibited growth digitatum with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and fungicidal (MFC) 1.36 2.72 mg/mL, respectively. In citronellal-treated...
Cinnamaldehyde (CA) is a promising antimicrobial agent for the preservation of fruits and vegetables due to its excellent antibacterial activity. The application however, limited by unstable volatile properties. A biocompatible carbon dots hybrid γ-cyclodextrin-based metal organic framework (CD/MOF) was developed seed-mediated method improve encapsulation sustained continuous release CA. CD/MOF-0.5 exhibited CA loading efficiency 28.42% duration time more than 15 days at 8 °C. kinetics...
