Black rot caused by the Gram-negative bacterial pathogen Xanthomonas campestris pv. (Xcc) is considered one of most destructive diseases affecting crucifers. Xcc a seedborne able to infect host at any growth stage. The management mainly relies on use copper-based products with possible negative effects human health and environment. Searching for protection alternatives crucial achieving sustainable Xcc. Trichoderma spp. has been largely used as biocontrol agent against several...
ABSTRACT Cultivation of pomegranate ( Punica granatum ) is threatened by the emerging pathogens Coniella granati and Phytophthora palmivora . Whether these microorganisms increase their damage due to simultaneous infection abiotic stress in unknown. Amylo‐X LC an effective biofungicide based on Bacillus amyloliquefaciens but its efficacy protect from C P. if plants are under has not been tested. Therefore, effects drought, waterlogging co‐infection aggressiveness two were evaluated....
Fungal species belonging to the Trichoderma genus are commonly used as biocontrol agents against several crop pathogens. Among their secondary metabolites, peptaibols helical, antimicrobial peptides, which structurally stable even under extreme pH and temperature conditions. The promise of agrochemicals is, however, hampered by poor water solubility, inhibits efficient delivery for practical use in protection. Using a versatile synthetic strategy, based on green chemistry procedures, we...
Plasmoparaviticola, the agent of grapevine downy mildew, causes enormous economic damage, and its control is primarily based on use synthetic fungicides. The European Union policies promote reducing reliance plant protection products. Biocontrol agents such as Trichoderma spp. constitute a resource for development biopesticides. produce secondary metabolites peptaibols, but poor water solubility peptaibols limits their practical agrochemicals. To identify new potential bio-inspired molecules...
