Antifungal Properties of and Extracts Against Fungi Associated with Strawberry Fruits Concerning Mycotoxin Production.

Strawberries are susceptible to decay and destruction while being harvested and stored. This study had the following objectives: (1) the documentation of fungi and mycotoxin production associated with infected strawberry fruits; (2) the evaluation of the primary phytochemicals of and by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) analysis to identify the active chemical composition of the seaweed extracts; and (3) the assessment of the antifungal activity of five extracts from brown seaweeds both in vitro and in vivo against fungal infections on fresh fruit under post-harvest conditions. The most common fungi were 14.

Morphological and Molecular Characterization of Some Species Isolated from Tomato Fruits Concerning Mycotoxin Production and Polyketide Synthase Genes.

Tomatoes () are one of the main crops grown in Egypt. The fungal black spot illness of fruits is usually associated with the secretion of mycotoxin by toxigenic species. Twenty isolates were isolated from infected tomatoes fruits by baiting technique, morphologically identified to species level, and confirmed using Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) gene sequencing.

Bioactive Compounds and Antifungal Activity of Leaves and Fruits Methanolic Extracts of L.

L. has antimicrobial properties because of the presence of biologically active compounds. is an opportunistic pathogen that causes leaf spots, rots, and blights on a variety of plant parts.

The Effect of Endophytic on Growth, Absorption and Accumulation of Heavy Metals of Grown on Sandy Soil Amended by Sewage Sludge.

Sewage sludge improves agricultural soil and plant growth, but there are risks associated with its use, including high heavy metal content. In this study, experiments were carried out to investigate the role of endophytic MW695526 on the growth of cultivated in soil amended with sewage sludge and its phytoremediation ability. could produce gibberellic acid (GA) and stimulate to accumulate GA.
