Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractBioactivity of Sumac (Rhus Coriaria) Extract as a Green Alternative for Plant Pathogen InhibitionMohammed H. Al-Mamoori, Meisam Zargar, Elena N. Pakina, Fatih DadaşoğluEnvironmental stress caused by pathogenic fungi leads to considerable losses in global crop productivity. Plant-derived extracts are eco-friendly and sustainable alternatives that can inhibit biotic stresses. Sumac (Rhus coriaria) is widely used in industrial and medicinal applications due to its extract rich in secondary metabolites, similar to those found in chemical pesticides and pharmaceuticals. This study aimed to characterize the … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 25, Issue 3 · 25 Nov 2025 · 2,209 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractIsolation and Identification of Bacteria Leading to Microbial Spoilage of Sweet Potato and Screening for Antistaling Agents Running HeadDaoqi Liu, Huili Liu, Yuanyuan Dang et al.To develop natural preservatives tailored for sweet potatoes, the control effect of essential oils on the spoilage microorganisms of sweet potatoes is uncertain. Therefore, we first isolated and identified the dominant spoilage bacteria from spoiled sweet potatoes. Micrococcus aloeverae, Priestia aryabhattai, and Glutamicibacter arilaitensis were identified through screening, morphological observation, gram staining, and 16S rDNA assays. Subsequently, five plant essential … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 20, Issue 1 · 26 Apr 2024 · 5,221 accessesView PDF Cite
