The current spraying of agrochemicals is unselective and ineffective, consuming a high amount fungicides, which endangers the environment human health. Cellulose-based nanocarriers (NCs) are promising tool in sustainable agriculture suitable vehicles for stimuli-responsive release to target cellulase-segregating fungi, cause severe plant diseases such as Apple Canker. Herein, cellulose was modi...

O uso de genótipos resistentes é um dos principais métodos controle doenças no Brasil, sendo fundamental o melhoramento genético visando a obter novos resistentes, para suprir essa demanda. Assim, objetivo deste trabalho foi estimar os parâmetros genéticos das variáveis resistência ao cancro, causado por Chrysoporthe cubensis e à mancha foliar, causada Cylindrocladium spp. Kirramyces epicoccoid...

Eucalyptus dieback disease, caused by Cylindrocladium scoparium, has occurred in last few years in large Eucalyptus planting areas in China and other countries. Rapid, simple, and reliable diagnostic techniques are desired for the early detection of Eucalyptus dieback of C. scoparium prior to formulation of efficient control plan. For this purpose, three PCR-based methods of nested PCR, multipl...

Ilicicolin H is an antibiotic isolated from the "imperfect" fungus Cylindrocladium iliciola strain MFC-870. Ilicicolin inhibits mitochondrial respiration by inhibiting the cytochrome bc(1) complex. In order to identify the site of ilicicolin action within the bc(1) complex we have characterized the effects of ilicicolin on the cytochrome bc(1) complex of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Ilicicolin inh...
