Effects of Thifluzamide Treatment on the Production of Cell Wall Degrading Enzymes in Rhizoctonia solani and Phenylpropane Metabolism in Pear Fruit

mycolabadmin

A new fungicide called thifluzamide was tested on pear fruits infected with a fungus that causes rot. The fungicide works in two ways: it stops the fungus from producing enzymes that break down plant cell walls, and it boosts the pear’s natural defense system by increasing protective compounds like flavonoids and phenolic acids. This dual action makes thifluzamide a promising treatment for preventing fruit rot during storage and transport.

Isolation and Identification of Endophytic Bacterium B5 from Mentha haplocalyx Briq. and Its Biocontrol Mechanisms Against Alternaria alternata-Induced Tobacco Brown Spot

mycolabadmin

Scientists discovered a beneficial bacterium called Bacillus velezensis in mint plants that can fight tobacco brown spot disease caused by a fungus. This bacterium works by producing natural antifungal compounds and enzymes that damage the fungus, and it helps boost the plant’s own defense systems. In greenhouse tests, this bacterial treatment was as effective as commercial chemical fungicides, offering farmers a safer, more environmentally friendly option for protecting their tobacco crops.

Research on the Action and Mechanism of Pharmacological Components of Omphalia lapidescens

mycolabadmin

Omphalia lapidescens, a medicinal fungus used in traditional Chinese medicine, contains multiple bioactive compounds with promising health benefits. These compounds can fight parasitic infections, inhibit cancer cell growth, reduce inflammation, and provide antioxidant protection. While clinical use shows benefits especially for gastric cancer when combined with chemotherapy, more research is needed to understand how these compounds work and to improve cultivation and production methods.

The Biocontrol and Growth-Promoting Potential of Penicillium spp. and Trichoderma spp. in Sustainable Agriculture

mycolabadmin

This review examines how two types of beneficial fungi, Penicillium and Trichoderma, can improve crop growth and protect plants from diseases without using chemical pesticides. These fungi work by colonizing plant roots, producing natural compounds that boost plant health, and fighting harmful pathogens. They are affordable, safe, and environmentally friendly alternatives for sustainable farming that can increase yields while reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers and fungicides.

Bacillus subtilis Strain TCX1 Isolated from Ambrosia artemisiifolia: Enhancing Cucumber Growth and Biocontrol Against Cucumber Fusarium Wilt

mycolabadmin

Scientists discovered a beneficial bacterium called Bacillus subtilis strain TCX1 that can protect cucumber plants from a devastating fungal disease called Fusarium wilt. This bacterium both kills the fungus directly through special compounds it produces and strengthens the plant’s natural immune system. Additionally, the bacterium helps cucumber plants grow better by producing growth hormones and improving nutrient absorption, making it a promising natural solution for farmers.

Cytophysiological manifestations of wheat’s defense reactions against stem rust induced by the biofungicide Novochizol

mycolabadmin

Novochizol, a new type of chitosan-based treatment, helps wheat plants defend themselves against stem rust by triggering natural immune responses. When wheat seedlings are treated with Novochizol four days before rust infection, the plants accumulate protective molecules like hydrogen peroxide and phenolic compounds that kill many of the rust fungus colonies before they can spread. This reduces disease damage by 50-55% compared to untreated plants, offering a promising biological alternative to synthetic fungicides.
