Since it has been considered that Candida species in food or drinks may, following ingestion, enter the bloodstream and cause fungaemia, the presence of these yeast species in traditional alcoholic beverages may be of some clinical significance. Thus we attempted to assess virulence factors and

Commercial formulations of 14 fungicides representing seven chemical classes were assessed in vitro and in vivo for activity against Claviceps africana, causal agent of sorghum ergot. All fungicides markedly reduced spore germination in vitro on water agar, with effective concentration

Peanut milk-based ready-to-use therapeutic food (P-RUTF) primarily used to treat severe acute malnutrition at community setting is expensive. We developed an alternative milk-free soybean-maize-sorghum-based RUTF (SMS-RUTF) using locally grown ingredients that have the potential to support local

Unscientific use of synthetic fungicides in plant disease management has environmental ramifications, such as disease resurgence and serious health problems due to their carcinogenicity. This has prompted the identification and development of eco-friendly greener alternatives. Eclipta alba

An antifungal protein of about 30,000 Da was isolated from seeds of Sorghum bicolor L. using chromatographic techniques, including gel filtration, ion exchange, and high-performance liquid chromatography in a reverse-phase column. This protein (termed 30 kD protein) showed a minimal inhibitory

Sorghum bicolor is widely cultivated in arid and semi-arid areas. This paper reports the chemical profiles of cuticular waxes on adaxial and abaxial sides of common leaf, flag leaf, sheath and stem from six sorghum cultivars and the variations of leaf cuticular waxes at seedling, jointing and

Community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition using ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) has revolutionised the treatment of severe acute malnutrition (SAM). However, 25% milk content in standard peanut-based RUTF (P-RUTF) makes it too expensive. The effectiveness of milk-free RUTF has not been

Sorghums were stressed with pathogenic fungi and sprinkling to determine relationships between changes in chitinase and sormatin in caryopses and grain mold resistance. Panicles of 10 cultivars differing in mold resistance and accumulation of antifungal proteins (AFPs) were inoculated at anthesis

Levels of four antifungal proteins (AFPs) were determined in mature caryopses (40-45 days after anthesis) of eight grain mold resistant (GMR) and eight susceptible (GMS) sorghum lines using the immunoblot technique. These 16 lines came from the same cross and were selected for high and low grain

The antifungal proteins (AFP) in the caryopsis of commercial and elite sorghums grown in several environments were related to grain mold resistance. Previous studies revealed that improved grain mold resistance was correlated with higher levels of AFP at combine harvest maturity [50 days after

A 25-kDa protein, with an N-terminal amino acid sequence homologous to that of xylanase inhibitor and designated as xylanase inbibitor-like protein (XILP) was purified from sorghum seeds. The isolation protocol consisted of affinity chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, and gel filtration.

Research on antifungal proteins and other mechanisms that provide the biochemical basis for host-plant resistance to stalk rot and grain molds is reviewed in this paper. Stalk rot caused by Fusarium species leads to substantial yield loss due to poor grain filling and/or lodging. A transgenic

Background: Development of more cost-effective ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) is a global public health priority. To date, previous lower-cost recipes have been less effective than the standard peanut and milk (PM)-based RUTF, particularly in children aged <24 mo.Objective: We aimed to compare

Sorghum anthracnose (Colletotrichum sublineola) reduces grain yield up to 50% but suggested management tactics have not yet been developed for the mid-Atlantic United States, where warm, wet conditions favor disease. Under factorial arrangement, five fungicides plus a nontreated control and
