The use of fungicides plays an important role in controlling plant diseases caused by Fusarium. However, the development environment friendly is considered more effective, which used secondary metabolites. This study aims to find latest alternative using Psidium Cattleianum Afzel extract, ex Sabine from collection "Eka Karya" LIPI-Bali Botanical Garden, can inhibit growth F. solani and minimum ...

Antifungal activity of Bacillus coagulans creates the possibility to use this microorganism in biological control of fungal plant pathogens. Activity of Bacillus coagulans (No 6), isolated from lupine compost, against seven pathogenic species of indicator fungi: Bipolaris sorokiniana, Trichothecium roseum, Rhizoctonia solani, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum, Fusatium oxysporum, Fusarium solani and Fus...

A Bacillus velezensis strain from the rhizosphere of Sporobolus airoides (Torr.) Torr., a grass in central-north México, was isolated during a biocontrol of phytopathogens scrutiny study. The 2A-2B strain exhibited at least 60% of growth inhibition of virulent isolates of phytopathogens causing root rot. These phytopathogens include Phytophthora capsici, Fusarium solani, Fusarium oxysporum and ...

The presence of lysine (Lys) or arginine (Arg) and tryptophan (Trp) are important for the antimicrobial effects of cationic peptides. Therefore, we designed and synthesized a series of antimicrobial peptides with various numbers of Lys (or Arg) and Trp repeats [(KW and RW)(n)-NH(2), where n equals 2, 3, 4, or 5]. Antifungal activities of these peptides increased with chain length. Light microsc...

Balloon flower (Platycodon grandiflorum) is a kind of mountain herbs whose roots have restorative properties and the cultivating acreage of balloon flower has been steadily increasing in Korea. More frequent rain and high amount of rainfalls as a result of climate changes predisposed balloon flower to the outbreaks of root rot at high-density cultivation area in recent years. Root crowns were u...

Currently, commercializing the Piriformospora indica fungal formulation using magnesium sulphite as a carrier with the registered trade name “Rootonic”. It enhances the plant growth, biotic and abiotic stress tolerance and also increases the accessibility of nutrients to plants. Biotic stress and nutritional deficiency i.e. zinc in soil are the two important factor for the deteriotion of grain ...

fusarium is a fungus that is commonly found as saprophytes with parasitic life on some living organisms. mycoprotein or fungus proteins with physical and chemical features are known as food in recent years. when they are involved in temperature and wet stress, release materials such as mycotoxins or fungus toxins remained in food. zearalenone and dependent compounds have distinct role in many f...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Fusarium species are avid producers of secondary toxic and carcinogenic metabolites such as fumonisin. Contamination of food and feed products with fumonisin can be hazardous to the health of humans and animals and may lead to agricultural loss. Accordingly, in this study, we aimed to evaluate the effects of Candida parapsilosis on the growth and fumonisin production of F...
