Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) is a powerful tool for quantifying gene expression. However, reference genes (RGs) expression analysis in peach (Prunus persica) during interactions with Monilinia laxa, major fungal pathogen that causes brown rot, have not been established. In this study, we analysed 12 candidate RGs pathosystem by analysing samples from to 144 HAI. The stability of the was evaluated using ΔCq method and BestKeeper, NormFinder, geNorm algorithms. Our results...
Fruits undergo numerous chemical, physical, and microbiological changes during storage that shorten their postharvest life, reducing shelf-life boosting food loss. Food quality safety are seriously threatened by infections, one of the factors behind deterioration mycotoxin contamination in fruits. The control is a big concern because there few management methods available. Several attempts have been undertaken to prevent microbial degradation fresh at stage without using synthetic...
Copper-based fungicides are largely used in agriculture the control of a wide range plant diseases. Applied on plants, they remain deposited leaf surfaces and not absorbed into tissues. Because accumulation problems their ecotoxicological profiles soil, use needs to be monitored controlled, also by using modern technologies better optimize efficacy rendering minimum amount copper per season used. In this work, we test novel approach based pulsed thermography evaluate persistence leaves so...
AbstractThe aim of this study was to test the effectiveness various concentrations tea tree oil and clove against Plasmopara viticola. In vitro tests entailed assessing development P. viticola on leaf disks calculating sporangial germination. a field trial, formulated products containing 23.8% (BM-608) 15% (Sporatec) were tested in an organic vineyard control downy mildew. The efficacy pure essential oils compared with water reference product (Airone, copper oxychloride 50% hydroxide 50%)....
Aim of this study was to develop a forecasting model for Plasmopara viticola achieve rational disease management and reduce the use copper treatments in organic farming. Starting from meteo-climatic, agronomic phytopathological data partial least squares discriminant analysis developed. Three different strategies were compared: according established agricultural practice (standard); predictive untreated control where no fungicides against downy mildew applied. The modelling approach divided...
The integration of Agroecological Service Crops (ASCs) into agroecosystems can provide several ecological services, such as nutrient cycling and disease weed management. A two-year experiment on an organic orchard was carried out to compare barley (B) horse bean (HB) ASCs with a control without ASC (Cont) in combination fertilizers. Their effects soil fertility weed- soil-borne fungi communities were evaluated by direct measurements, visual estimation, indicators computation. Principal...
The new perspective of using waste biomass to cultivate mushrooms as a source protein for human nutrition, in line with the circular economy principles, is receiving increasing attention scientific community and represents great wealth terms environmental sustainability. Pleurotus eryngii mushroom also known cardunculus due its ability grow on this plant. This study explores potential intrinsic properties (for example, presence inulin roots) raw material growth mushrooms, influence...
Colletotrichum includes pathogens affecting different plant hosts in tropical, subtropical, and temperate regions. Anthracnose caused by these is a prevalent severe postharvest disease of tropical fruits, including avocado. In 2021, avocado fruit with typical anthracnose symptoms was found during storage, on very ripe fruit, Caserta, Campania region, Italy. Avocado cultivation production increasing this so the etiology examined. Molecular phylogenetic analyses four genomic loci (ITS, gapdh,...
In the years 2020-2021 as part of activity Campania region hemp fiber project, variety comparison trials were carried out on 7 varieties among those relevant for bast production. During trials, in particular cv. Fibrante, a consistent problem was noted: noticeable germination failure (80-90%) occurred during emergence seedlings. Therefore, experiments conducted to ascertain possible presence seed-borne pathogens. Tests 100 seeds that surface disinfected with 2% sodium hypochlorite solution 3...
Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) was cultivated in Italy until the end of Second World War. Since then, it has been abandoned and substituted with other crops mainly due to legal restrictions public concerns. Public legislation passed 2016, allowed for production seeds, flowers fibers (law n. 242/2016). During a 2019 survey on sanitary status province Naples (40°57'6"12 N, 14°22'37"56 E), 'Kompolty' symptoms root rot were observed at private farm collected further analysis phytosanitary...
Active Thermography (AT) is a well-known non-contact and non-invasive imaging technique that has gained great interests in agriculture recent years. It been used to evaluate physical physiological characteristics of plants such as: transpiration rates, heat capacity the leaves, local water content, response UV interaction it fits well with emerging demands precision management strategy. According this technique, surface sample under investigation stimulated using an external source its...
