Cell suspension cultures of Pinus radiata metabolize the antifungal Trichoderma secondary metabolite 6-n-pentyl-2H-pyran-2-one (6PAP) (1) via hydroxylation of the pentyl side chain. Examination of the culture medium following dosing studies with 1 revealed that 79-85% of this bioactive compound had
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to isolate lactic acid bacteria from chilli waste and evaluate metabolites produced for the ability to arrest wood decay.
RESULTS
Using an optical density screening method, one bacterium (isolate C11) was identified as having pronounced antifungal properties
Bordered pits are structures in the cell walls of softwood tracheids which permit the movement of water between adjacent cells. These structures contain a central pit membrane composed of an outer porous ring (margo) and an inner dense and pectin-rich disc (torus). The membrane is overarched on each
Limited information is available on the risk to aquatic environments from the aerial application of copper fungicides to treat dothistroma needle blight in managed forests. Cuprous oxide was aerially applied to three catchments of Pinus radiata of varying age classes in the central North Island of
Pathogen incursions are a major impediment for global forest health. How pathogens and forest trees coexist over time, without pathogens simply killing their long-lived hosts, is a critical but unanswered question. The Dothistroma Needle Blight pathogen Dothistroma septosporum was introduced into
