The main tool for plant protection is chemical pesticides, but environmental safety and risks to animal and human health have prompted the community and scientists to propose alternatives for their integrated management. This has encouraged the inclusion of biological products, such as species of the antagonistic fungus Trichoderma spp., which act against pests and pathogens in different crops, and are environmentally benign, effective and economically viable. The aim of this paper was to compile information on Trichoderma spp. regarding their taxonomy, ecology, use as biological control, isolation, culture, morphological and molecular identification, mode of action, distribution of native species, and availability of international commercial products and those produced in Mexico. For this purpose, information was selected from indexed journals and suppliers of Trichoderma spp. on open data digital platforms. The exposed information could be useful for Mexican farmers, to know, accept and use biological control with Trichodermaspp. in their crops, for the benefit of quality agriculture and pesticide-free crops. In addition, research could be generated to develop new autochthonous products based on Trichodermaspp. that are more effective against pests and diseases native to Mexico.","PeriodicalId":38261,"journal":{"name":"Revista Chapingo, Serie Horticultura","volume":"112 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135055892","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It has also been used for identifying physiological races of P. infestans and, recently, it has been associated with glycoalkaloids and antioxidant compounds, whose potential uses are of interest to various industries. Since there is great potential in the species S. demissum, not only as a source of resistance genes but also as a source of important bioactive compounds, this review summarizes the research conducted on the use of Solanum demissum in the breeding of cultivated potato, as well as its potential uses in other areas. In addition, areas of opportunity and limitations for breeding for resistance to late blight are highlighted to serve as a starting point for the development of new research or lines.","PeriodicalId":38261,"journal":{"name":"Revista Chapingo, Serie Horticultura","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135056183","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Woody rootstock cuttings from 'IAC 766' Campinas vines were prepared to promote rooting. After 45 days, the cuttings were transplanted and subjected to treatments that consisted of the inoculation of different species of AMF and fertilization with two doses of phosphorus (simple superphosphate) plus the control. The treatments were randomly assigned following a completely randomized design with eight replications for each treatment. After 90 days, growth parameters, macro and micronutrient content (shoot and root), root colonization and mycorrhizal effect of the extracted nutrients were evaluated. The inoculation with AMF species influenced the growth parameters, root colonization and extraction of macro and micronutrients from the cuttings of the 'IAC 766' rootstock, highlighting the inoculation with species of the genus Acaulospora, either individually or associated. Phosphorous fertilization affected growth parameters and extraction of macro and micronutrients, but these were to a lesser degree compared to that verified by the inoculation of AMF species.","PeriodicalId":38261,"journal":{"name":"Revista Chapingo, Serie Horticultura","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49481939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, a wide range of cultivars should be available according to fruit ripening time from very early (precocious) to very late (serotinous). ‘Yashar’ mandarin is a hybrid obtained by crossing of the ‘Minneola’ tangelo and ‘Changsha’ mandarin. The fruits of this cultivar grow in the northern regions of Iran, and it ripen in May, thus, they are considered the late-ripening mandarin cultivars. One of the deficiencies of this cultivar is that it is full of seeds (25-30). Two separate experiments were performed to reduce the number of seeds in ‘Yashar’ mandarin. In the first experiment; the effect of pollen grains of different citrus cultivars (‘Valencia’ orange, ‘Hamlin’ and sour orange) and a free-pollination treatment as a control group was evaluated. In the second experiment, the effect of foliar application of copper sulfate at the rate of 25 mg·L-1 was conducted in stages 30, 60 and 80 % of open flowers. One free pollination treatment as a control group was evaluated as well. The results showed that the highest index of fruit technology (multiplication of the percentage of the extract in the soluble solids divided by 100) was obtained by pollination with ‘Hamlin’ and sour orange pollen grains. The foliar spraying with copper sulfate, when 30 % of the flowers had opened, among all the treatments evaluated in the study, reduced the number of seeds in the Yashar mandarin cultivar.","PeriodicalId":38261,"journal":{"name":"Revista Chapingo, Serie Horticultura","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46736814","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both flooding treatments negatively affected the vegetative growth, stomatal conductance, chlorophyll content and leaf water potential. The response observed in the half-flooded treatment was intermediate between the control and fully-flooded treatment. The fastest response of stomatal conductance to soil flooding, before differences among treatments in leaf water potential were perceived, suggested that there should be a stomatal closure mechanism that responds to a signal that arises from flooded roots.

The objective was to evaluate the use of modified atmosphere packaging incorporated with vapors of an Eo to prolong shelf life of blackberry fruits. The methodology included the use of oregano Eo to inhibit fungi development. Eo was analyzed with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The minimum inhibitory concentration of Eo to inhibit fungi in blackberry fruits was determined in vitro and in vivo. The storage of blackberry fruits under modified atmosphere with vapors of oregano Eo was evaluated at ambient temperature. The compounds linalool, o-cymene, and thymol were identified as the main constituents of Eo. Based on fruits with fungal development, isolates were made in culture media and the presence of Aspergillus carbonarius, Alternaria alternata, and Penicillum digitatum was identified. A minimum inhibitory concentration of Eo in the head space of fruits was found with value of 0.8 μL·mL-1. The handling of blackberry fruits in modified atmosphere with micro-perforation and exposition to volatilized Eo (MAP-Eo) reduced the rate of weight loss, the loss of consistency, and that of alteration of color attributes, which allowed maintaining a better appearance during 6-7 d at 23 °C. MAP-Eo kept the content of phenolic compounds and anthocyanins, as well as the antioxidant capacity, without significant changes.
