... Pichia guilliermondii has been shown to control fungal decay in various harvested fruits by inducing disease resistance, but the transcriptional regulatory mechanism remains unclear. In our study, P. guilliermondii treatment induced resistance against soft rot caused by Rhizopus stolonifer in peach fruit, as shown by the reduced disease incidence and severity, increased enzyme activities and gene ...
... Kiwifruit has high economic value but is susceptible to fungal infection after harvest. Botrytis cinerea (B. cinerea) is one of these fungal pathogens that cause huge economic losses and potential food safety problems. Auxin is a vital plant growth regulator that has been reported to play a role in plant defense. In this study, postharvest kiwifruit was treated with different concentrations of ind ...

Abstract:
... Transition period (±3 wk around calving) diseases are prevalent in dairy systems. In this review we describe the physiological and behavioral changes experienced by cows during the transition period and during the dry period leading up to this. Our narrative review examines risk factors associated with these diseases in zero-grazing and grazing systems. The available research indicates that cows i ...

Such studies form basis for deciding disease suppressive crop geometry and also sowing date alterations besides helping in disease predictions. The yield loss study in particular reveals the importance of a disease before ...

... Guava cultivation is swiftly rising in the progressive farming community because of its early bearing pattern and long harvesting duration. Despite a 20–25% expansion in the area under guava cultivation in the last decade, the yield has not significantly increased accordingly. However, its production decreased approximately 15% due to the guava die-back, which is quite alarming. The present study ...
