Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris: Current Knowledge and Emerging Biological Control Strategies Using Phyllosphere- and Rhizosphere-Associated Bacillus spp.

Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris, the causal agent of black rot, is one of the most important bacterial pathogens affecting Brassicaceae crops worldwide. Its seed-borne nature, multiple routes of dissemination, and limited availability of resistant cultivars make black rot d...

Integrated Chemical, Computational, and Cellular Profiling of a Dual-Oil Melanoma Formulation: An Exploratory Life-Science Study

Background: Previous studies have examined bioactive constituents of Prunus dulcis oil, Pinus sylvestris essential oil, and related phytochemical matrices separately; however, their combined chemical profile, comparator-context molecular-docking landscape, and comparative cellula...

Trace element accumulation in bryophytes from Allchar (North Macedonia): contamination or genuine hyperaccumulation?

Abstract Main conclusion Genuine accumulation of metals/metalloids in bryophytes is limited and highly susceptible to surficial contamination with soil particles. Washing with an apolar solvent removes most surficial contamination prior to elemental analysis. Abstract Bryophytes...
