Chemical composition, antioxidant, and antimicrobial activity of Dracocephalum moldavica L. essential oil and hydrolate
(Basel : MDPI, 2022)
Steam distillation was used for the isolation of Dracocephalum moldavica L. (Moldavian dragonhead) essential oil (DMEO). This aromatic herbaceous plant is widespread across the Northern Hemisphere regions and has been ...
Changes in the distribution and pest risk of stored product insects in Europe due to global warming: Need for pan-European pest monitoring and improved food-safety
(Elsevier, 2022)
Global warming affects the distribution of stored product pest insects across Europe in a way comparable to field crop and orchard pests. Nevertheless, stored product research has been neglected in Europe and detailed ...
Raman spectroscopy coupled with chemometric modeling approaches for authentication of different paprika varieties at physiological maturity
(Elsevier, 2022)
Five Balkan paprika varieties at physiological maturity were investigated by means of Raman spectroscopy in order to discriminate the differences which stemmed from their genetic variability since the plants were grown ...
Genotype-dependent antioxidative response of four sweet pepper cultivars to water deficiency as affected by drought-tolerant Bacillus safensis SS-2.7 and Bacillus thuringiensis SS-29.2 strains
(Basel : MDPI, 2022)
We examined the effect of drought-tolerant Bacillus safensis SS-2.7 and B. thuringiensis SS-29.2 strains on the response of four (133, 274, California Wonder—CalW, and Matica) sweet pepper genotypes to water deficiency ...
Metal- and organ-specific response to heavy metal-induced stress mediated by antioxidant enzymes’ activities, polyamines, and plant hormones levels in Populus deltoides
(Basel : MDPI, 2022)
Besides anthropogenic factors, climate change causes altered precipitation patterns that indirectly affect the increase of heavy metals in soils due to hydrological effects and enhanced leaching (i.e., Cd and Ni), especially ...
First report of Pectobacterium punjabense causing potato soft rot and blackleg in Serbia
(American Phytopathological Society, 2022)
Soft rot and blackleg are common diseases of potato (Solanum tuberosum) in Serbia. Opportunistic pectinolytic plant pathogens in the genus Pectobacterium cause soft rot and wilt diseases by cell wall degradation. They cause ...
Volatile profile of garden rose (Rosa hybrida) hydrosol and evaluation of its biological activity in vitro
(Basel : MDPI, 2022)
Garden rose, Rosa hybrida, is primarily used for decoration and has a wide range of growing area, contrary to R. damascena that has a limited area of distribution (Turkey and Bulgaria), yet it is extensively used for ...
First report of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris on chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) in Serbia
(American Phytopathological Society, 2022)
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is one of the most commonly consumed legume crops worldwide However, in Serbia, it is a novel crop grown on approximately 120 acres. Fusarium wilt caused by F. oxysporum f. sp. ciceris is one ...
An epigenetic alphabet of crop adaptation to climate change
(Lausanne : Frontiers Media S.A., 2022)
Crop adaptation to climate change is in a part attributed to epigenetic mechanisms which are related to response to abiotic and biotic stresses. Although recent studies increased our knowledge on the nature of these ...
