Photodynamic control of fungicide-resistant Penicillium digitatum by vitamin K3 water-soluble analogue

Novel Robust, Reusable, Microbial‐Resistant, and Compostable Protein‐Based Cooling Media

“…The optimum antifungal results of MSB against P. digitatum were observed when MSB was applied in combination with UVA or simulated sunlight exposure. [ 50 ]…”

“…The optimum antifungal results of MSB against P. digitatum were observed when MSB was applied in combination with UVA or simulated sunlight exposure. [50] We established a plant growth experiment to test the compostability and impact of JICs when added to the potting soil. Tomato seedlings sown in soil with Gel-JICs and Gel/MSB-JICs presented significantly (p < 0.05) higher values for several growth parameters when compared to control seedlings (Figure 5k and Figure S11, Supporting Information).…”

Gamma radiation crosslinking of PVA/myrrh resin thin film for improving the post-harvest time of lemon fruits

“… 59 The hyphal cells are haploid, and the conidia are borne on a stalk called a conidiophore that emerges from aerial hyphae, a soil-embedded network of hyphae. 60 The conidiophore is asymmetrical, with smooth and thin walls. The conidiophore can radiate into three rami during growth to create bi-verticillate or tri-verticillate.…”

Protoporphyrin IX–Chitosan Oligosaccharide Conjugate with Potent Antifungal Photodynamic Activity

“…5,9,10 Moreover, L. Wang and collaborators demonstrated recently that the vitamin K3 analogue menadione sodium bisulfite in combination with solar simulated light irradiation inhibits the spore germination, mycelial growth, and disease incidence/severity in vitro and in vivo in citrus fruits. 8 Briefly, the mechanism of action involves the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) followed by oxidation of biological targets in the fungal cell, with singlet oxygen ( 1 O 2 ) the most relevant ROS in terms of aPDT effect. 11 In our continued efforts to look for other natural compounds to act as photosensitizers in aPDT, we turned our attention to protoporphyrin IX (PPIX).…”

“…In this context, antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has emerged as a viable alternative to inactivate pathogenic plant fungi including Colletotrichum spp , Fusarium oxysporum , and Penicillium digitatum , , among others. This approach to control fungal growth has several advantages such as a broad action spectrum over several pathogenic fungi species, since it does not target any specific enzyme or metabolic route; can involve the use of natural chemical compounds; and is less likely to develop resistant strains. ,, Moreover, L.
