Exploring Antimicrobial Peptides Efficacy against Fire Blight ().

Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a various group of molecules found in a wide range of organisms and act as a defense mechanism against different kinds of infectious pathogens (bacteria, viruses, and fungi, etc.). This study explored the antibacterial activity of nine candidates reported in the literature for their effect on human and animal bacteria, (i.

Exploring Active Peptides with Antimicrobial Activity In Planta against .

is a xylem-limited quarantine plant bacterium and one of the most harmful agricultural pathogens across the world. Despite significant research efforts, neither a direct treatment nor an efficient strategy has yet been developed for combatting Xylella-associated diseases. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have been gaining interest as a promising sustainable tool to control pathogens due to their unique mechanism of action, broad spectrum of activity, and low environmental impact.

Identification and Characterization of Erwinia Phage IT22: A New Bacteriophage-Based Biocontrol against .

is a quarantine phytopathogenic bacterium that is the causal agent of fire blight, a destructive disease responsible for killing millions of fruit-bearing plants worldwide, including apple, pear, quince, and raspberry. Efficient and sustainable control strategies for this serious bacterial disease are still lacking, and traditional methods are limited to the use of antibiotics and some basic agricultural practices. This study aimed to contribute to the development of a sustainable control strategy through the identification, characterization, and application of bacteriophages (phages) able to control fire blight on pears.

Phytochemical Analysis and Study of Antioxidant, Anticandidal, and Antibacterial Activities of subsp. and (Lamiaceae) Essential Oils from Northern Morocco.

The protection of agricultural crops and the preservation of the organoleptic and health qualities of food products represent a major challenge for the agricultural and agro-food industries. Essential oils have received greater attention as alternatives to replace the control strategies based on pesticides against phytopathogenic bacteria and synthetic compounds in food preservation. The aims of this work were to study the chemical composition of subsp.

Evaluation of compost quality and bioprotection potential against Fusarium wilt of date palm.

The Fusarium wilt of date palm caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. albedinis (Foa) is the most damaging disease in Morocco.

GC-MS Analysis, Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Activities of Subsp. and Essential Oils and Their Potential Use as Food Preservatives.

In order to discover new natural resources with biological properties, the chemical composition, the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities, and the potential use as food preservative of essential oils of Moroccan subsp. (AOEO) and (RMEO) were studied. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis revealed the presence of 21 and 25 compounds in AOEO and RMEO, respectively.

Adaptation of Phytophthora infestans to Partial Resistance in Potato: Evidence from French and Moroccan Populations.

ABSTRACT The use of partially resistant cultivars should become an essential component of a sustainable management strategy of potato late blight, caused by Phytophthora infestans. It is therefore important to determine to what extent P. infestans populations can be selected for increased aggressiveness by potato cultivars with different levels of partial resistance.
