Inoculation of in vitro cultures with rhizosphere microorganisms improve plant development and acclimatization during immature embryo rescue in nectarine and pear breeding programs
(Elsevier, 2020-08-14)
In the present study, two fungi Cladosporium ramotenellum strain PGP02 and Phoma spp. strain PGP03 and the bacterium Pseudomonas oryzihabitans PGP01 were isolated from Pyrus and Prunus in vitro rescued ...
Effect of microalgal biomass incorporation into foods: Nutritional and sensorial attributes of the end products
(Elsevier, 2019-06-04)
Despite the high content of macro- and micro-nutrients found in microalgae, only a limited number of products containing microalgae have been launched into the market. Most of these products were marketed ...
Non-volatile signals and redox mechanisms are required for the responses of Arabidopsis roots to Pseudomonas oryzihabitans
(Oxford University Press, 2022-08-24)
Soil bacteria promote plant growth and protect against environmental stresses, but the mechanisms involved remain poorly characterized, particularly when there is no direct contact between the roots and ...
Nitrate- and nitric oxide-induced plant growth in pea seedlings is linked to antioxidative metabolism and the ABA/GA balance
(Elsevier, 2018-08-16)
This study looks at the effects of potassium nitrate (KNO3) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP), a nitric oxide (NO)-donor, on the development, antioxidant defences and on the abscisic acid (ABA) and gibberellin ...
Strawberry sanitization by peracetic acid washing and its effect on fruit quality
(Elsevier, 2019-05-15)
The risk posed by outbreaks associated with strawberries together with the safety issues of by-products from chlorine disinfection in the fruit industry has led to a search for alternative sanitizers. ...
Proteins isolated from Ganxet common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) landrace: techno-functional and antioxidant properties
(Wiley, 2021-06-15)
Ganxet protein isolates (GPI) were assessed for antioxidant and functional properties including emulsifying and foaming capacity. The protein content and water activity (aw) value of GPI were 91.08 ± ...
Differential contribution of the two major polygalacturonases from Penicillium digitatum to virulence towards citrus fruit
(Elsevier, 2018-05-31)
The fungus Penicillium digitatum is the causal agent of the citrus green mould, the major postharvest diseases of citrus fruit. Lesions on the surface of infected fruits first appear as soft areas around ...
Composition and properties of the polyphenolic extracts obtained from industrial plum pomaces
(Elsevier, 2014-12-10)
The polyphenol composition of purified extracts obtained from plum pomace gathered from production lines of a modern fruit transformation plant was characterized. The extraction of polyphenols from ...
Natural plant extracts as inhibitors of potato polyphenol oxidase: The green tea case study
(Elsevier, 2021-09-18)
Natural plant extracts have emerged as a potential alternative to sulphites in minimally processed potatoes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the inhibitory capacity of various plant extracts on ...
