“…At the end of storage, the disease incidence percentage (DIP) was calculated as DIP = (number of infected lesions)/(number of assessed lesions) × 100 [ 51 ]. The disease severity index (DSI) was calculated through the Townsend-Heuberger equation [ 52 , 53 ]. This equation uses a visual scale of symptoms: (1), no visible symptoms (not infected); (2), 1–25% of the inoculated area is covered with a slight necrotic mycelia (mild infection); (3), 26–50% of the inoculated area is covered with necrotic mycelia (moderate infection); (4), 51–75% of sample are necrotic with appeared spore masses (strong infection); (5), 76–100% of the necrotic tissue appears soft and decays with a fungal mass (very severe infection) ( Figure 5 ).…”

Gray mold disease, which is caused by Botrytis cinerea Pers ex. Fr., results in serious economic losses to Lycopersicum esculentum (tomato) crop productivity. In this study, we explored the possibility that mixtures of essential oils (EOs) and their respective hydrolates (HYSs) could be used to control this disease. Thus, EOs and HYSs were obtained from Origanum vulgare, Thymus vulgaris, Citrus limon, and Citrus sinensis by hydrodistillation. In vitro antifungal activities were evaluated, and EC50 values of 15.9 and 19.8 µg/mL were obtained for EOs of thyme and oregano, respectively. These activities are due mainly to volatile compounds, thymol and carvacrol. Results from in vivo assays show that although most tomatoes were infested five days after inoculation, the damage was considerably reduced by the application of an EO/HYS mixture of thyme. The disease incidence indexes of B. cinerea tomato rot, percentage and severity, measured four days after inoculation, were reduced by 70% and 76%, respectively, as compared with the inoculum control. These results suggest that a combination of HYSs and EOs enhances antifungal activity, and that optimization of relative concentrations, volumes, and the nature of the compounds, could design a formulation able to control B. cinerea inoculum on tomato fruits.

“…Thus, dietary intake of CAPE is useful for the treatment of sore throat, common cold, and wound. There is evidence that CAPE possesses promising fungicidal activity on fungi infecting tomato without causing any harm to the fruit [ 13 ]. Moreover, poly(lactic- co -glycolic acid) (PLGA) sutures containing CAPE have been proposed to have antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia DH5 α bacteria; this activity of CAPE was attributed to the synthesis of reactive oxygen species (ROS) that destroy the outer membrane of bacteria [ 14 ].…”

Caffeic acid phenethyl ester (CAPE) is a bioactive compound of propolis extract. The literature search elaborates that CAPE possesses antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cytotoxic properties. The principal objective of this review article is to sum up and critically assess the existing data about therapeutic effects of CAPE in different disorders. The findings elaborate that CAPE is a versatile therapeutically active polyphenol and an effective adjuvant of chemotherapy for enhancing therapeutic efficacy and diminishing chemotherapy-induced toxicities.

Tomato cultivation generates great profits for Mexico; however, the distribution of the fruit faces limitations due to the postharvest losses caused by its rapid deterioration. The reduction in fruit firmness is due in part to the degradation of pectin located in the primary cell wall. Several fruits such as strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa), tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) and mango (Mangifera indica L.) show an increase in the expression of genes that code for the enzyme rhamnogalacturonan lyase (RGL) during ripening. In tomato RGL is encoded by a family of 13 multigenes, of which three are active in the fruit. Rhamnogalacturonan l (RG-l) is a polysaccharide that is part of the pectins of the cell wall and is degraded by the RGL enzyme. Thus, the study of changes of RGL in the expression of genes that code for RGL during the development and ripening of tomato fruit will help to elucidate the physiological function of this family of genes. The objective of the present study was to assess the expression profile of genes Solyc04g076630, Solyc04g076660 and Solyc11g011300 and the ethylene production during the development and ripening of the tomato fruit. The Solyc11g011300 gene showed an increase in activity that correlated with the increase in ethylene production in fruits, suggesting that this gene plays a role in the loss of firmness of the fruit during ripening. The high levels of expression of genes Solyc04g076630 and Solyc04g076660 recorded during fruit development suggest their participation in the re-engineering of the RG-I polymer during the initial stages of fruit development.
