EFFECT OF HOT AIR TREATMENT ON MINIMALLY PROCESSED CAULIFLOWER
2013
The request of minimally processed vegetable is continuously increasing, and there is a growing interest for new fresh cut products. Cauliflower, as other cabbages, is highly appreciated for its nutritional value due to the good content of vitamins, antioxidants and anti-carcinogenic compounds. It is suitable to be used as a minimally processed vegetable, but harvesting and the following processing can cause a severe stress determining the appearance of accelerated senescence symptoms. The aim of the present work was to investigate the effect of hot air treatment and cold storage on minimally processed green cauliflower. Fresh-cut cauliflower florets put in sealed PE bags were treated at 48…
Prenylated isoflavones from the stem bark of Erythrina sacleuxii
2018
Abstract Two new prenylated isoflavones, named erysacleuxin A (1) and B (2), along with eight known compounds, biochanin A (3), 5′-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)pratensein (4), 7-demethylrobustigenin (5), 3′-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)biochanin A (6) abyssinone V-4′-methyl ether (7), sigmoidin E (8), erythrinasinate (9), and burtinone (10) were isolated from the stem bark of Erythrina sacleuxii Hua (Leguminosae). The structures were determined based on spectroscopic and spectrometric data. All isolated compounds were evaluated for antifungal activity against Botrytis cinerea, Candida albicans, Eremothecium coryli, Penicillium notatum, Pyricularia oryzae, and Rhizomucor miehei with compounds 3, 4 and 6 showi…
Isolierung und Identifizierung von Sterinen im Metabolismus des Pilzes Botrytis cinerea / Isolation and identification of sterols in the metabolism o…
1983
The fungus Botrytis cinerea, which belongs to the class of ascomycetes, has been analysed for its sterol composition. It is able to produce ergosterol, cerevisterol, lanosterol/dihydrolanosterol and cholesterol besides β-sitosterol. The identification of the sterols is carried out with different analytical methods including mass spectrometry. In the extracts of the mycelium also squalene has been identified
Über die Bildung von Cholesterin durch Botrytis cinerea nach Lanosterinzugabe / The Production of Cholesterol by Botrytis cinerea after Addition of L…
1980
Abstract The fungus Botrytis cinerea, which is found on the grapes, is able to produce cholesterol after addition of lanosterol to the culture medium. The identification of cholesterol is carried out with different analytical methods including mass spectrometry. Under the same conditions ergosterol arises from squalene and not cholesterol.
Effect of Hot Air Treatment on Quality and Shelf Life of Minimally Processed Cauliflower.
2012
Cauliflower, as other cabbages, has a high nutritional value due to its content of vitamins, antioxidants and anti-carcinogenic compounds. Cauliflower inflorescences are harvested when they are still totally immature. The request of minimally processed vegetable is continuously increasing, and there is a growing interest for new fresh cut products. Cauliflower is suitable to be used as a minimally processed vegetable, but harvesting and the following processing can cause a severe stress determining the appearance of accelerated senescence symptoms. The effect of hot air treatment on minimally processed cauliflower was investigated. Florets were put in PE sealed bags before treating at 48°C …
Characterisation of a new species of Pythium isolated from a wheat field in northern France and its antagonism towards Botrytis cinerea causing the g…
2003
A new species, Pythium bifurcatum, isolated from soil samples taken from a wheat field in Lille in northern France is described here. The oomycete occurred thrice out of 50 samples. The type specimen is F-91, which is a slow-growing saprophyte living on vegetable debris and which can be recognised by its antheridial as well as oogonial characteristics, which are different from other known species of Pythium. When grown together with Botrytis cinerea, the causal agent of the grey mould disease of the grapevine, Pythium bifurcatum shows a pronounced antagonism and suppresses its growth. Morphological features of this new species, its antagonism to B. cinerea, the sequences of the ITS region o…
Multiplex PCR for species discrimination of Sclerotiniaceae by novel laccase introns
2006
Common PCR-based targets for the identification of filamentous fungi and yeasts are the sequences of the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS1, 5.8S rDNA, ITS2). Within the Sclerotiniaceae the ITS-region is homogenous and the identification is almost impossible. Furthermore, the lack of IGS-data (intergenic spacer region) requires new specific marker genes for a rapid identification of phytopathogenic Sclerotiniaceae. We sequenced and analyzed new laccase2 (lcc2) genes from the phylogenetically related Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (Lib.) de Bary, Sclerotinia minor Jagger, and Monilinia fructigena Honey. Comparative analysis revealed remarkable differences in length and sequence compared to t…
A Major Effect Gene Controlling Development and Pathogenicity in Botrytis cinerea Identified Through Genetic Analysis of Natural Mycelial Non-pathoge…
2021
Botrytis cinerea is a necrotrophic plant pathogenic fungus with a wide host range. Its natural populations are phenotypically and genetically very diverse. A survey of B. cinerea isolates causing gray mold in the vineyards of Castilla y León, Spain, was carried out and as a result eight non-pathogenic natural variants were identified. Phenotypically these isolates belong to two groups. The first group consists of seven isolates displaying a characteristic mycelial morphotype, which do not sporulate and is unable to produce sclerotia. The second group includes one isolate, which sporulates profusely and does not produce sclerotia. All of them are unresponsive to light. Crosses between a repr…
Etude du rôle du monoxyde d’azote (NO) dans la réponse du transcriptome d’Arabidopsis thaliana aux oligogalacturonides, un éliciteur des réactions de…
2012
SPEIPM; International audience; Le monoxyde d’azote (NO) est capable de réguler chez les plantes de nombreux processus physiologiques dont les réponses des plantes aux pathogènes. Peu d’informations sont disponibles aujourd’hui sur les mécanismes expliquant le rôle du NO endogène dans ce contexte physiologique. Grâce à une étude transcriptomique, nous avons caractérisé chez Arabidopsis thaliana, des gènes cibles du NO produit en réponse à un éliciteur des réactions de défense, les oligogalacturonides (OG). L’analyse a permis d’identifier parmi ces gènes cibles, un nombre important de gènes impliqués dans les réponses aux stress biotiques tels que des facteurs de transcription ou des protéin…
Preventive and post-infection control ofBotrytis cinereain tomato plants by hexanoic acid
2008
The antifungal activity of hexanoic acid on the phytopathogen Botrytis cinerea was studied. This chemical inhibited both spore germination and mycelial growth in vitro in a concentration- and pH-dependent manner, and stopped spore germination at a very early stage, preventing germ-tube development. The minimum fungicidal concentration (MFC) for in vitro spore germination was 16 m m . Hexanoic acid also inhibited in vitro mycelial growth of germinated spores at an MFC of 12 m m . Studies performed to characterize the mechanisms underlying the antimicrobial effect of hexanoic acid showed that it alters fungal membrane permeability. In addition, hexanoic acid treatment increased the levels of …
