Mechanism Analysis of Amphotericin B Controlling Postharvest Gray Mold in Table Grapes

This research shows that amphotericin B, a natural compound produced by bacteria, can effectively prevent gray mold from spoiling table grapes after harvest. The compound works by damaging the mold’s cell membranes and also activates the grapes’ own defense systems. At a treatment level of 200 mg/L, it completely prevented mold growth on grapes over a three-day storage period, offering a safer, more environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic fungicides.

Mechanism Analysis of Amphotericin B Controlling Postharvest Gray Mold in Table Grapes

Researchers discovered that amphotericin B, a natural compound produced by soil bacteria, effectively prevents gray mold disease on table grapes. The compound works by directly damaging the fungus’s cell membranes and also boosts the grape’s own defense mechanisms. This natural solution could replace harmful synthetic fungicides while extending the shelf life of grapes during storage and transport.

Exploring the Biocontrol Potential of Phanerochaete chrysosporium against Wheat Crown Rot

Scientists discovered that a beneficial fungus called Phanerochaete chrysosporium can effectively control a serious wheat disease caused by another fungus. The beneficial fungus attacks and breaks down the pathogenic fungus while also helping wheat plants grow stronger and resist infection better. This offers farmers a natural, sustainable alternative to chemical fungicides for protecting their wheat crops.
