Plant extracts as biocontrol agents against Aspergillus carbonarius growth and ochratoxin A production in grapes.

Aspergillus carbonarius (Bainier) Thom. is an important pathogen and ochratoxin A (OTA) producer in grapes that can be controlled by adopting sustainable approaches. Here we evaluate the application of natural plant extracts as an alternative to synthetic fungicides to reduce OTA contamination and to prevent infection of grapes by two isolates of A.

Bioprospecting Phenols as Inhibitors of Trichothecene-Producing : Sustainable Approaches to the Management of Wheat Pathogens.

spp. are ubiquitous fungi able to cause Fusarium head blight and Fusarium foot and root rot on wheat. Among relevant pathogenic species, and cause significant yield and quality loss and result in contamination of the grain with mycotoxins, mainly type B trichothecenes, which are a major health concern for humans and animals.

Prenylated -Cinnamic Esters and Ethers against Clinical spp.: Repositioning of Natural Compounds in Antimicrobial Discovery.

Onychomycosis is a common nail infection mainly caused by species belonging to the , , and species complexes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the in vitro susceptibility of six representative strains of clinically relevant spp. toward a set of natural-occurring hydroxycinnamic acids and their derivatives with the purpose to develop naturally occurring products in order to cope with emerging resistance phenomena.
