“…To prevent development and limit activity of this pathogen, chemical treatments are widely used. However, such of them may produce serious problems, residues on the fruit (Cabras et al, 1999;Palou et al, 2008), coming into existence of fungicideresistant strains (Ben-Yehoshua et al, 1994), and harmful to human health (Suwalsky et al, 1999). In order to alternative to these fungicides some treatments have obtained successful results controlling postharvest decay (Feliziani et al, 2015).…”

One of the most important orange fruit diseases is blue mold which cause by Penicillium italicum that is responsible for important economic losses. This study investigated biochemical changes in exo-mesocarp layers of orange fruits related to host- pathogen- yeast interactions. Initial result showed that among eight strains isolated, the most effective antagonist were belonged to two species of Pichia kluyveri (M45) and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa (M61). These isolates were selected for biochemical evaluation. In order to assessment of biochemical changes, the orange fruits were inoculated with 40 Âµl of yeast cell suspension and after 24 h, the wounds were inoculated with 20 Âµl of conidial suspension of P. italicum. The analysis of variance showed that all of the measured biochemical characterises were significant in both layers by treatments (yeast isolates; pathogen; yeast isolates + pathogen and control) (P â‰¤ 0.01), including POD, CAT and Î²-1, 3-glucanase activities and total phenolic compounds. Also result showed that when the yeast isolates (M45 or M54) were inoculated into wounds with the pathogen, it stimulated the orange to increase produce of total phenol and enzymes activity (POD, CAT and Î²-1, 3-glucanase) and these changes were related to incubation time. The result showed that understanding biochemical mechanism derived from plant-pathogen-antagonist interactions is essential for investigating the dynamics of infectious processes.

“…Its high toxicity and persistence have generated serious environmental and human health concerns. [1][2][3] The production of HCB was banned in the United States in 1966, and banned globally owing to the Stockholm Convention on persistent organic pollutants (POPs) in 2004. However, it still persists in the environment and can be found worldwide for its long life-time, 4 difficult degradation, and long-range transport.…”

A potential fluorescence detection approach to trace hexachlorobenzene via disaggregating with ethanol

A potential ultra-sensitive detection approach for hexachlorobenzene (HCB), based on the measurement of the intrinsic fluorescence of well-separated HCB molecules in ethanol, has been proposed. Owing to the strong intermolecular π-π stacking interaction of the planar aromatic rings, self-aggregated HCB shows almost no fluorescence. However, the intrinsic emission of HCB can readily be detected in ethanol due to the enhanced emission from the disaggregated HCB, which is related to the hydrogen bond formation between ethanol and HCB. By simply measuring the HCB intrinsic fluorescence, a HCB concentration a little bit higher than 10(-14) M (~0.001 ppt) in ethanol can be detected; moreover, the fluorescence intensity of the HCB increases linearly with the HCB concentration ranging from 10(-10) to 10(-7) M. The approach might provide a simple, fast and efficient method for HCB quantification.
