Postharvest rot of blueberry fruits caused by Botrytis cinerea led to huge economic losses in storage and transportation. In this study, Metschnikowia pulcherrima T-2 was isolated from the surface 'Duke' significantly reduced postharvest fruits. The weight loss rate soaked decreased; contents total soluble solids, titratable acidity vitamin C treated were increased at a humidity 85% 25 °C. also enhanced control gray mold fruits, but could not directly inhibit growth B. vitro. volatile...

It is crucial to promote soil carbon sequestration while reducing CO2 emissions mitigate climate change. However, the extent of increasing actual storage depends on amount and composition organic matter input, including its fate during decomposition (SOM) formation via microbial transformation. With respect need increase in sustain fertility, it great interest better understand how soils with different content react amendment fresh matter. Here, we incubated three agricultural representing a...

Although the association of minerals and organic matter (OM) in soil plays an important role sequestration C, factors driving initial formation mineral-associated OM (MAOM), thus retention new C input soils are not yet fully understood. In this study, we investigated how loading differences N content low-molecular-weight compound (LMWOC) foster rapid soil's fine mineral fractions (clay silt-sized fraction). Two topsoils (0–10 cm) with different due to long-term management (direct seeding vs....

The development of high-resolution microscopy and spectroscopy techniques has allowed the analysis microscopic 3D objects in fields like nanotechnology life soil sciences. Soils have ability to incorporate store large amounts organic carbon. To study this matter (OM) sequestration, it is essential analyze its association with minerals at relevant microaggregate scale. This been previously studied 2D. However, surface representations would allow a variable angle magnification analysis,...

To improve the yield of exopolysaccharides (EPS) by Bacillus thuringiensis 27 from sand biological soil crusts in Gurban Tonggut Desert, Xinjiang, China and to analyze its bioflocculant activity, orthogonal matrix method was used this enabled us obtain maximum EPS production. By studying optimal medium condition beef extract 3 g/l, peptone 10 maltose 40 NaCl 4g/l we observed that pH 6.0, incolum size 8%, liquid volume ml 200 flak temperature 28°C. The production 20.19 g/l which is about five...

In order to know the acute toxic effects of synthetic pyrethroid deltamethrin on red swamp crayfish, Procambarus clarkii, an toxicity test was carried out. The results showed that 24, 48 and 96 h LC50 values were 0.156, 0.099 0.056 μg/l, respectively. abnormal behavioural responses signs can be described as typical neurotoxic symptoms, characterized by ataxia, hyperexcitation, convulsion, paralysis. residue in haemolymph, gill, muscle, liver crayfish under limit quantification GC-MS method...

ABSTRACT In this study, the functional properties of Jxsac, a recently developed high-molecular-weight polysaccharide product, have been characterized. The physicochemical (such as its composition, transparency, retrogradation and blue value), solution viscosity, infrared spectroscopy gel filtration chromatography Jxsac were characterized in comparison with that Vitargo polysaccharide, commercially available product for sports drinks, corn starch. results showed comparable to, but...

The application of beneficial microbial consortium can effectively improve plant disease resistance and its growth. Various fungi were compounded with Bacillus velezensis LJ02 applied to watermelon plants in this paper. results showed that the T2 (compounded Aspergillus aculeatus 9) control gummy stem blight powdery mildew watermelon, while effect reached 83.56% 70.93%, respectively (p < 0.05). Compound treatment improved diversity richness rhizosphere community structure, relative...

<title>Abstract</title> This study investigated how melatonin helps soybean seedlings grow in drought conditions by studying root morphology and physiological characteristics the 'Suinong 26' variety. The experiment started at V₂ stage with water control spraying. Three treatments were established: stress (D), spraying (D + M), normal supply as control. compared effects of on growth seedling roots shoots. Compared to control, D treatment inhibited significantly. M increased...

The glycosyl hydrolase β-glucanase elicits plant immune responses against pathogens and enhances immunity by activating signaling pathways. specific functional domains responsible for disease prevention remain unclear. In this study, transient expression of significantly increased leaves resistance to Botrytis cinerea in Nicotiana benthamiana systemic leaves. Through sequence alignment similarity analysis, five conserved motifs the amino acid were identified, deletion mutants generated...

Mulberry leaves have been used in the clinical treatment of diabetes since ancient times. A variety bioactive components mulberry leaf extract are effective α-glucosidase inhibitors. Though much research has done on dry leaves, few fresh leaves. In this study, Ganoderma lucidum was to ferment effects microbial fermentation content active and inhibitory activity were measured. The results showed that, compared with more suitable for growth lucidum. nutrition needed mainly from degradation...

&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Soil microaggregates play an important role for the long-term sequestration of soil organic matter (SOM) and are nucleus larger structures. However, it is still not well understood how interplay microaggregate structure composition determine their functionality. This especially due to analytical limitations that lead fact 3D architecture in conjunction with fate OM at sub-micron scale hard analyze. Combining microscopic spectroscopic techniques high sensitivity spatial...
