Avocado (Persea americana) is one of the most important crops in Mexico as it main producer, consumer and exporter avocado fruit world. However, successful commercialization often reduced by large postharvest losses due to Colletotrichum sp., causal agent anthracnose. Chitosan known have a direct antifungal effect acts also an elicitor capable stimulating defense response plants. there little information regarding genes that are either activated or repressed fruits treated with chitosan. The...
Global consumption of blueberries (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) has increased during the last twenty years due to recognition their health benefits. However, postharvest losses blueberry pathogenic fungi are significant. The traditional control methods involving continuous application synthetic fungicides pose diverse risks, both and environment. Therefore, environmentally friendly sought. use a combined treatment Debaryomyces hansenii with chitosan (CH) salicylic acid (SA) was proposed inhibit...
The Colletotrichum genus is one of the ten most relevant pathogenic fungi in post-harvest sector owing to its high infection rate tropical fruits; however, search for alternatives synthetic fungicides crucial because their adverse effects on health and environment. This study evaluated efficacy chitosan (CH), citral (CT), hexanal (HX) against asianum, as well toxicological potential these treatments. In vitro tests, 1.0% CH, 0.03% CT, 0.06% HX significantly inhibited fungal development...
The objectives of this investigation were a) to determine the best concentration chitosan reduce <em>Alternaria alternata</em> development in relation mycelial growth, germination and sporulation, b) observe through scanning electron microscopy effect level at morphological cellular c) evaluate efficiency compound control A. alternata mango cv. 'Tommy Atkins' fruits its on fruit ripening during storage.Results demonstrated that most effective was 1.0 %, because it reduced growth sporulation...
Chitosan-based film with and without antagonistic yeast was prepared its effect against Penicillium italicum evaluated. The biocompatibility of cells in the developed films assessed terms population dynamics. Furthermore, impact on physicochemical properties incorporated were evaluated thickness, mechanical properties, color opacity. Chitosan entrapped exhibited strong antifungal activity by inhibiting mycelial development (55%), germination (45%) reducing sporulation process (87%). matrix...
Colletotrichum is considered one of the fungal genera with greatest diversity species phytopathogenic fungi and a wide range hosts including tropical fruits. In this study, concentration chitosan applied was key factor in vitro inhibition three isolates most sensitive being from banana. Germination development stage affected by application polymer. At end 10 days storage, control anthracnose soursop, mango banana fruit considerable 1 % chitosan, 80 to 100 inhibition. Likewise, ripening...
The disease reducing activity of eco-friendly chitosan compound against postharvest anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioideswas investigated tests performed in vitroand vivoconditions. In this study, C. isolated pure culture from soursop (Annona muricata) tropical fruit, identified morphological and molecular methods then used experimental tools. inhibition gloeosporioidesmycelial growth, sporulation conidial germination at different concentrations, 0, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0 1.5% was...
Penicillium italicum is an important pathogen that attacks citrus fruits. Traditionally, chemical fungicides are widely used for controlling fruit diseases, however environmental and health issues have lead to the research of safe alternatives. The efficacy aqueous extracts from mesocarp (fibrous husk) exocarp (outer layer) coconut were evaluated against P. development in terms mycelial growth, sporulation germination process. Mesocarp more efficient control (82%) compared (77%). was...
