Biological biocides have the potential to reduce plant biotic stresses and boost
development, but they tend to be unstable and degrade quickly. BCAs inhibit plant diseases …

Hyaluronic acid (HA) is key to the stability of the internal environment of tissues. HA content
in tissues gradually decreases with age, causing age-related health problems. Exogenous …

Fungal pathogens are the main biotic burden of productivity for economically important
crops under field, greenhouse or postharvest conditions. The discovery and development of …

There is increased interest in research on yeasts as potential phytopathogen biocontrol
agents due to increasing restrictions in the use of chemical pesticides. Yeast strains from a …

Metschnikowia pulcherrima synthesises the pigment pulcherrimin, from cyclodileucine (cyclo
