Background: Kiwifruit rot is an important disease caused by different fungal pathogens, which can lead to huge economic loss in the kiwifruit industry. The aims of this study were to discover an effective botanical compound that significantly inhibits the pathogens causing kiwifruit rot, evaluate its control efficacy against this disease, and reveal the underlying mechanisms.

Results: A strain of Fusarium tricinctum (GF-1), isolated from diseased kiwifruit, could cause fruit rot in both Actinidia chinensis var.

Kiwifruit () is an important commercial crop in China, and the occurrence of diseases may cause significant economic loss in its production. In the present study, a new pathogen that causes brown leaf spot disease on kiwifruit was reported. The fungus was isolated from an infected sample and identified as based on morphological and molecular evaluation.

Kiwifruit is a nutritious and economically important fruit that is widely cultivated in China. In 2021, leaf spot disease of kiwifruit was discovered in the main kiwifruit-producing area of Xifeng County, Guizhou Province, China. Leaf spot disease weakens plant photosynthesis and reduces nutrient synthesis, thereby affecting plant growth.

Article Synopsis
  • * The study identifies the bacteria causing crown gall disease following the Koch hypothesis and develops a Loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) method for specific detection of the pathogen.
  • * The LAMP technique is highly sensitive, with a detection limit of 5 × 10 ng/μL, and allows for easy visual confirmation of results, making it a practical tool for early diagnosis of the disease in infected kiwifruit plants.

The purpose of the present study was to determine the effects of resveratrol on hypoxia-induced oxidative stress and proliferation in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) and the underlying mechanism. Primary rat PASMCs were isolated and cultured in vitro and pretreated with different concentrations of resveratrol (10, 20, and 40 µmol/L) or the NADPH oxidase (NOX) inhibitor VAS2870 (10 µmol/L) for 0.5 h.
