TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the effects of four transplanting times (1 February, 16 February, 3 March, 18 March) and three plant densities (21.2, 27.2 and 38.1 ) on the growth, productivity and bulb quality indicators (size, dry weight, soluble solids content, sugars, acids, amino acids, antioxidants, mineral composition) of long-day onion crops, cultivar “Ramata di Montoro”.

TL;DR: Fusaric acid has been isolated and identified from a strain of F. udum for the first time and the method has been used to determine the content of these metabolites in two strains of Fusarium oxysporum.

TL;DR: Trans-resveratrol and e-viniferin, already described as stress metabolites produced by the leaves of Vitis vinifera in response to fungal infection, UV irradiation, and incubation by chemicals, have been detected in the wood of healthy as well as in the brown-red wood of esca-diseased grapevines.

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of Humic acid (HA) on Fe2+ oxidation and its effect on crystalline Fe mineral products was investigated in the presence of humic acid.

TL;DR: Exogenous application to the leaves of scopoletin, medicarpin and pisatin lead to a reduction of the different fungal growth stages, confirming a role for these phytoalexins in BTH- and BABA-induced resistance against U. pisi hampering pre- and postpenetration fungal stages.
