Soil-borne diseases threaten sustainable agriculture, traditionally managed by chemical fumigants, whose use is now restricted due to environmental and health concerns. This study evaluates the biofumigation potential of Brassicaceae species, specifically Brassica carinata A.Braun., juncea (L.) Vassiliĭ Matveievitch Czernajew., Raphanus sativus L., Sinapis alba cultivated in central Spain. Field trials across two growing cycles assessed biomass production, glucosinolate (GSL) concentration,...
Species of Fusarium were isolated from water samples collected the Andarax River and coastal sea Mediterranean in Granada Almería provinces southeastern Spain. In total, 18 analyzed River, 10 species isolated: anthophilum, F. acuminatum, chlamydosporum, culmorum, equiseti, verticillioides, oxysporum, proliferatum, solani, sambucinum. addition, five 33 Sea: solani. When considering by their origins, 77.8% river yielded at least one Fusarium, with oxysporum comprising 72.2% total isolates....
The distribution of mould species was examined at several points the processing chain in a Manchego cheese plant and associated dairy farms. Geotrichum Fusarium were genera most frequently isolated from milk samples as well cheeses ripened for one month, evidencing direct transfer raw milk. Conversely, mycobiota long‐ripened consisted mainly Penicillium species, which gained entry to through air ripening rooms. This study contributes understanding dynamics fungal populations semihard hard...
In recent years, different postharvest alterations have been detected in garlic. many cases, the symptoms are not well defined, or etiology is unknown, which further complicates selection of bulbs during handling. To characterize bulb rot caused by fungi, garlic samples were collected from six Spanish provinces two consecutive years. Eight fungal species identified. The most prevalent disease was Fusarium dry (56.1%), associated with species. proliferatum more than 85% symptomatic cloves,...
In October of 2008, decayed garlic bulbs (Allium sativum L. cv. Blancomor de Vallelado) were received from a producer in Segovia, Spain. November 2009, similar symptoms observed on stored (cvs. Vallelado and Garcua) each 30 municipalities northwest Segovia Valladolid. A minimum one sample was collected 12 localities. Pieces symptomatic surface disinfested for 2 to 3 min 0.5% NaOCl transferred potato dextrose agar (PDA) Komada's media. Colonies had catenate microconidia curved macroconidia...
With nearly 140 α-glycosidases in 14 different families, plants are well equipped with enzymes that can break the α-glucosidic bonds a large diversity of molecules. Here, we introduce activity-based protein profiling (ABPP) using α-configured cyclophellitol aziridine probes carrying various fluorophores or biotin. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), these label members GH31 family glycosyl hydrolases, including endoplasmic reticulum-resident α-glucosidase-II Radial Swelling3/Priority for...
Asparagus Decline Syndrome (ADS) is one of the main phytosanitary problems asparagus crop worldwide. Diseased plants and soil samples from 41 fields three production areas Spain were surveyed. Eight Fusarium species belonging to seven complexes identified in soils: F. oxysporum, proliferatum, redolens, solanisensu stricto, equiseti, culmorum, compactum acuminatum. oxysporum was most prevalent species. Statistical correlation (R2 = 88%) established between inoculum density average temperature...
Fusarium proliferatum has been reported on garlic in the Northwest USA, Spain and Serbia, causing water-soaked tan-colored lesions cloves. In this work, was isolated from 300 symptomatic bulbs. Morphological identification of confirmed using species-specific PCR assays EF-1α sequencing. Confirmation pathogenicity conducted with eighteen isolates. Six randomly selected F. isolates were tested for specific screened fusaric acid production. Additionally, each isolate healthy seedlings onion (...
The most serious aerial disease of garlic is leaf blight caused by Stemphylium spp. Geographical variation in the causal agent this indicated. vesicarium has been reported Spain, whereas S. solani prevalent species recorded China. In study, isolates were obtained from symptomatic plants sampled main Spanish production areas. Sequence data for ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region enabled assignation to Pleospora herbarum complex and clearly distinguished solani. Conidial morphology corresponded that...
Among the key diseases affecting asparagus crop (Asparagus officinalis L.), vascular wilting of caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. asparagi stands out worldwide. This disease significantly shortens longevity and limits economic production. Traditional control measures have been largely ineffective, chemical methods are difficult to apply, making biological approaches, specifically use Trichoderma, an economical, effective, risk-free alternative. study aimed identify main factors that affect...
