In the present study, a total of 186 bacterial strains isolated from various soil sources and plant species from Eastern Anatolia region in Turkey were evaluated for their ability to suppress gray mold (Botrytis cinerea Pers. ex Fr.) occurred on strawberry cv. Fern. Among 186 bacterial strains, 36 were found effective to inhibit of development B. cinerea under in vitro conditions, and thirteen ...

ABSTRACT Twenty-one strains of Botrytis cinerea isolated from 13 species of plants grown in China were compared for pathogenicity on Brassica napus, mycelial growth on potato dextrose agar, and presence of double-stranded (ds)RNA. The results showed that the strain CanBc-1 was severely debilitated in pathogenicity and mycelial growth, compared with the 20 virulent strains. A dsRNA of approximat...

Edible coatings were prepared with 1% (w/v) chitosan (CH) incorporated 0.05%, 0.25%, or 0.5% tea seed oil (TSO). The physicochemical properties and antifungal ability on Botrytis cinerea (B. cinerea) of the films investigated. CH TSO applied to preserve pears (Pyrus pyrifolia Nakai) then fungal decay, respiration rate, other characters determined throughout storage at 25 °C 85 ± 5% relative hum...

Herbaceous peony (Paeonia lactiflora Pall.), one of the world's most important ornamental plants, is highly susceptible to Botrytis cinerea, and improving resistance to this pathogenic fungus is a problem yet to be solved. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play an essential role in resistance to B. cinerea, but until now, no studies have been reported concerning miRNAs induction in P. lactiflora. Here, we con...

NADPH oxidases (also known as respiratory burst oxidase homologs, Rbohs) are key enzymes that catalyze the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in plants. In the present study, eight SlRboh genes were identified in tomato and their possible involvement in resistance to Botrytis cinerea and drought tolerance was examined. Expression of SlRbohs was induced by B. cinerea and Pseudomonas syr...

A cluster composed of four structural and two regulatory genes found in several species of the fungal genus Fusarium (class Sordariomycetes) is responsible for the production of the red pigment bikaverin. We discovered that the unrelated fungus Botrytis cinerea (class Leotiomycetes) contains a cluster of five genes that is highly similar in sequence and gene order to the Fusarium bikaverin clus...

Post-harvest treatments of fruits and vegetables can help to reduce the attack microorganisms especially presence pathogenic microorganisms. Alkaline water solutions were used control growth Botrytis cinerea, Rhizopus stolonifer, Salmonella spp. Escherichia coli in strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa). Strawberries inoculated with afterwards immersed alkaline pH 11, 12 13. In vitro microbiological ...
