Electrochemical genosensor for the direct detection of tailed PCR amplicons incorporating ferrocene labelled dATP
(Elsevier, 2019-03-30)
An electrochemical genosensor for the detection and quantification of Karlodinium armiger is presented. The genosensor exploits tailed primers and ferrocene labelled dATP analogue to produce PCR products ...
Verifying the biocontrol activity of novel film‐forming formulations of Candida sake CPA‐1: resilience in relation to environmental factors, rainfall episodes, and control of Botrytis cinerea on different hosts
(Wiley, 2019-04-13)
BACKGROUND
The efficacy of Candida sake CPA‐1 as a biocontrol agent against several diseases has been studied since it was isolated 20 years ago. However, it was only recently that two suitable and ...
Rainfall homogenizes while fruiting increases diversity of spore deposition in Mediterranean conditions
(Elsevier, 2019-08-20)
There is a lack of knowledge regarding the main factors modulating fungal spore deposition in forest ecosystems. We have described the local spatio-temporal dynamics of fungal spore deposition along a ...
