Lipopeptides from Bacillus atrophaeus MCM61 and melatonin suppress gray mold-induced oxidative stress in cut roses (Rosa hybrida L.) and improve vase life.

Application of melatonin and lipopeptides (LPs) derived from Bacillus strains is considered an efficient strategy to control plant diseases at both pre and postharvest stages. However, the combined application of melatonin and LPs has not been studied yet. Therefore, the present study presents the synergistic effect of melatonin and LPs produced by Bacillus atrophaeus strain MCM61 against gray mold disease and its impact on quality parameters and vase life of cut roses.

Efficacy of Plant Tissue Culture Techniques for Eliminating Black Mulberry Idaeovirus (BMIV) from Infected Black Mulberry ().

Obtaining virus-free plants is a crucial step in disease management that enables reliable and profitable fruit farming. The present study applied various in vitro virus elimination protocols, including apical shoot culture, chemotherapy, thermotherapy, cryotherapy, and their combination, to eliminate black mulberry Idaeovirus (BMIV) from sour black mulberry. First, a shoot tip (0.

Challenges and predictive radiological findings in the diagnosis of neuroendocrine tumors in patients with acute appendicitis.

Background: Acute appendicitis is one of the most common surgical emergencies. With antibiotic-first treatment strategies gaining importance, the risk of an appendiceal tumor as an incidental finding or as the cause of appendicitis presents an obstacle to a conservative approach. Neuroendocrine tumors, the most frequent type of appendiceal tumors, are difficult to diagnose preopera-tively due to their small size.
