Investigating the Induced Systemic Resistance Mechanism of 2,4-Diacetylphloroglucinol (DAPG) using DAPG Hydrolase-Transgenic Arabidopsis.

Plant immune responses can be triggered by chemicals, microbes, pathogens, insects, or abiotic stresses. In particular, induced systemic resistance (ISR) refers to the activation of the immune system ...

Antifungal Mechanism of Dipicolinic Acid and Its Efficacy for the Biocontrol of Pear Valsa Canker.

Valsa pyri is a fatal canker pathogen that causes significant reduction of crop yield in pear orchards. V. pyri invades the trunk phloem, and is difficult to control by chemical treatment. In this wor...

Sodium pheophorbide a controls cherry tomato gray mold (Botrytis cinerea) by destroying fungal cell structure and enhancing disease resistance-related enzyme activities in fruit.

Sodium pheophorbide a (SPA) is a natural photosensitizer. The present study investigated the antifungal activity and mechanism of SPA against Botrytis cinerea in vitro and in vivo. Its inhibitory effe...

Development of MgO-sepoilite Nanocomposites against Phytopathogenic Fungi of Rice (Oryzae sativa): A Green Approach.

Innovation in agriculture is a vital organ of research for sustainable food supply to the increasing global population. Organic compounds used as fungicidal agents against seed-borne pathogens are bra...
