Abstract:
... Almond dried-fruit consumption is a characteristic of the Mediterranean diet and the related transformation industry could represent a great economic chance for Sicily, the main producing Italian region. Nevertheless, the Italian almond market is suffering a long crisis caused by the international competition with low-cost producing countries. For this purpose, the Sicilian Region funded a multidi ...

Abstract:
... Penicillium digitatum (Pers.:Fr.) Sacc., the causal agent of citrus green mold, is the main postharvest pathogen of citrus fruit. The control of this pathogen relies on the use of synthetic chemical fungicides. The long-term use of a few authorized fungicides, however, has led to the appearance of resistant strains worldwide. In the last few decades, a great effort has been invested in the search ...

Abstract:
... Seeds contaminated with pathogens are the primary inoculum for plant diseases in many food crops. Conventional treatments for seedborne diseases use hot water, chlorine or fungicide applications. A novel seed treatment method based on non-thermal plasma generated by an air dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) device was evaluated in this study as an alternative to these conventional treatments.

Abstract:
... Class II fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (FBA) is an enzyme critical for bacterial, fungal, and protozoan glycolysis/gluconeogenesis. Importantly, humans lack this type of aldolase, having instead a class I FBA that is structurally and mechanistically distinct from class II FBAs. As such, class II FBA is considered a putative pharmacological target for the development of novel antibiotics again ...
