Advancements in Bacteriophages for the Fire Blight Pathogen .

, the causative agent of fire blight, causes significant economic losses for farmers worldwide by inflicting severe damage to the production and quality of plants in the Rosaceae family. Historically, fire blight control has primarily relied on the application of copper compounds and antibiotics, such as streptomycin. However, the emergence of antibiotic-resistant strains and growing environmental concerns have highlighted the need for alternative control methods.

Genomic Characterization of Phage ZP3 and Its Endolysin LysZP with Antimicrobial Potential against pv. .

pv. (Xoo) is a significant bacterial pathogen responsible for outbreaks of bacterial leaf blight in rice, posing a major threat to rice cultivation worldwide. Effective management of this pathogen is crucial for ensuring rice yield and food security.

Response of Chinese cabbage ( subsp. ) to bacterial soft rot infection by change of soil microbial community in root zone.

Chinese cabbage, scientifically known as subsp is a highly popular vegetable in China for its delectable taste. However, the occurrence of bacterial soft rot disease poses a significant threat to its growth and overall development. Consequently, this study aimed to explore the defense mechanisms employed by Chinese cabbage against bacterial soft rot disease.

Modulation of rhizosphere microbial community and metabolites by bio-functionalized nanoscale silicon oxide alleviates cadmium-induced phytotoxicity in bayberry plants.

Cadmium (Cd) is an extremely toxic heavy metal that can originate from industrial activities and accumulate in agricultural soils. This study investigates the potential of biologically synthesized silicon oxide nanoparticles (Bio-SiNPs) in alleviating Cd toxicity in bayberry plants. Bio-SiNPs were synthesized using the bacterial strain Chryseobacterium sp.

Suppression of Root Rot Fungal Diseases in Common Beans ( L.) through the Application of Biologically Synthesized Silver Nanoparticles.

The biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using plant extracts has become a safe replacement for conventional chemical synthesis methods to fight plant pathogens. In this study, the antifungal activity of biosynthesized AgNPs was evaluated both in vitro and under greenhouse conditions against root rot fungi of common beans ( L.), including , , , and .

Insights into the Binding Profile of Anti-chlorpyrifos Recombinant Antibodies: From Computational Simulation to Immunoassay Validation.

A novel virtual screening strategy was proposed for the profiling and discovery of active variable regions (VRs) that encode hapten-specific recombinant antibodies (rAbs). Chlorpyrifos, a hazardous organophosphorus pesticide, was selected as the target. First, a VR model-14G4 from anti-chlorpyrifos hybridoma was built via homology modeling.

Biocontrol Efficacy of Endophyte to Alleviate Seedling Blight by Refining the Morpho-Physiological Attributes of Wheat.

Some endophyte bacteria can improve plant growth and suppress plant diseases. However, little is known about the potential of endophytes bacteria to promote wheat growth and suppress the seedling blight pathogen . This study was conducted to isolate and identify endophytic bacteria and evaluate their efficacy for the plant growth promotion and disease suppression of seedling blight (FSB) in wheat.

Isolation and partial characterization of cyclic lipopeptide antibiotics produced by Paenibacillus ehimensis B7.

Background: The prevalence of drug-resistant bacteria has encouraged the search for novel antimicrobial compounds. Food-associated microorganisms, as a source of new antibiotics, have recently received considerable attention. The objective of this study was to find novel antimicrobial agents produced by food microorganisms.

Simultaneous determination of flonicamid and its metabolites in vegetables using QuEChERS and reverse-phase liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry.

This paper presents a rapid analytical method for the simultaneous determination of flonicamid and its metabolites N-(4-trifluoromethylnicotinoyl) glycine (TFNG), 4-trifluoromethylnicotinic acid (TFNA), and 4-trifluoromethylnicotinamide (TFNA-AM) in vegetables using QuEChERS by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Samples were extracted with acetonitrile. The extract was purified through QuEChERS method with primary secondary amine (PSA) and graphite carbon black (GCB).
