allyl/potato

We investigated the effects of five allyl esters, two aromatic (allyl cinnamate and allyl 2-furoate) and three aliphatic (allyl hexanoate, allyl heptanoate, and allyl octanoate) in established insect cell lines derived from different species and tissues. We studied embryonic cells of the fruit fly

The goals of this study were to determine the efficacy of allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) against the growth of A. flavus and Aflatoxin B₁ (AFB₁) production as well as to evaluate changes in the transcriptome profile when colonizing maize. A. flavus was inoculated in potato

Inhibition of potato virus X replication can be enhanced by complexation of N-allyl-N'-2-pyridyl-thiourea and of N-phenyl-N'-2-pyridyl-thiourea with Cu+, Zn2+ and Cd2+. The antiphytoviral activity of some complexes with pyridylthiourea can be further augmented by adding small quantities of

Ferrous lipoxygenases seem to be activated through a feedback control mechanism via FA hydroperoxides generated from PUFAs by partially existing ferric lipoxygenases. However, during leukotriene synthesis, feedback activation of ferrous 5-lipoxygenase in the presence of arachidonic acid (AA) was not

The effect of benzylaminopurine was studied on cyanide-resistant mitochondria isolated from aged slices of potato tuber (Solanum tuberosum L. var. Bintje). Benzylaminopurine specifically acted on the cyanide-resistant alternative pathway. In the case of succinate oxidation, it mimicked the action of

In this review, some common food plants and their toxic or otherwise bioactive components and mycotoxin contaminants have been considered. Crucifers contain naturally occurring components that are goitrogenic, resulting from the combined action of allyl isothiocyanate, goitrin, and thiocyanate.

Background: Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is a common herb consumed worldwide as functional food and traditional remedy for the prevention of infectious diseases since ancient time. Garlic and its active organosulfur compounds (OSCs)

In this study, we characterized the essential oil (EO) of black mustard (Brassica nigra) and quantified its antimicrobial activity, when applied by direct contact into the liquid medium or by exposure in the vapor phase (in laboratory media or in a bread-type product), against the growth of

An alcohol dehydrogenase gene, adh1, has been identified in the vascular wilt fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis revealed that adh1 is highly expressed in mycelia grown in potato dextrose liquid medium (PDB) under hypoxic

Bradysia odoriphaga Yang et Zhang is a serious belowground pest of Chinese chives (Allium tuberosum). Our previous studies have indicated that B. odoriphaga females prefer to oviposit near the roots of Chinese chives rather than the roots of other plants, and that the performance (longevity and
