Abstract:
... Reactive nitrogen species (RNS) play a crucial role for plants to respond to environmental fluctuations. High formation of RNS leads to nitrosative stress and disorders in the higher plant. The use of gaseous chlorine dioxide (ClO₂) treatments for postharvest application has grown in recent years due to its advantages over other methods, including its powerful antibrowning and antimicrobial activi ...

Abstract:
... Citrus sour rot caused by Geotrichum citri-aurantii is one of the most important postharvest diseases in citrus fruit, causing huge economic losses. Traditionally, it has been controlled by the postharvest application of guazatine and propiconazole fungicides, but restrictions in their use make it urgent to find an alternative for sour rot management. Natamycin, a common food preservative, and the ...
