TLDR
6-Methoxymellein was identified as a common phytoalexin produced by carrot roots irrespective of the species of challenging fungi and it was shown that cultured carrot cells produced 6-methoxcyellein when the culture was inoculated with fungi.

The microbiology of minimally processed fresh fruits and vegetables

TL;DR: Although MPF fruits and vegetables may harbor psychrotrophic microorganisms such as fluorescent pseudomonads or Listeria monocytogenes, good control of refrigeration temperature limits growth of spoilage and pathogenic microorganisms.

Comparative study on the antibacterial activity of phytochemical flavanones against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

TL;DR: In this paper, the minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of phytochemical flavanones to clinical isolates of MRSA were determined by a serial agar dilution method.

Comparative Study on the Antibacterial Activity of Phytochemical Flavanones against Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

TL;DR: Tetrahydroxyflavanones with these structural characteristics isolated from Sophora exigua and Echinosophora koreensis showed intensive activity to inhibit the growth of all MRSA strains at 3.13-6.25 micrograms/ml.

A revised medium for rapid growth and bio assays with tobacco tissue cultures

TL;DR: In vivo redox biosensing resolves the spatiotemporal dynamics of compartmental responses to local ROS generation and provide a basis for understanding how compartment-specific redox dynamics may operate in retrograde signaling and stress 67 acclimation in plants.

Host-Pathogen Interactions: IX. Quantitative Assays of Elicitor Activity and Characterization of the Elicitor Present in the Extracellular Medium of Cultures of Phytophthora megasperma var. sojae

TL;DR: Two bioassays were developed and characterized and the extracellular Pms elicitor was determined to be a predominantly 3-linked glucan, which is similar in composition and structure to a polysaccharide component of Pms mycelial walls.

Phytoalexins and other natural products as factors in plant disease resistance

TL;DR: The detection and characterisation of phytoalexins and other related natural products, the elucidation of their biosynthetic pathways and where appropriate their antifungal mechanisms, and the development of these substances or synthetic analogues for use in crop protection provides a new and exciting field of plant pathology which without doubt will be greatly expanded in the years that lie ahead.

Abnormal metabolites produced by Daucus carota roots stored under conditions of stress

TL;DR: In this paper, the formation of dihydroisocoumarins (I and II), the chromones (III and IV) and scopoletin (V) is induced in carrot roots by storage in the presence of low concentrations of ethylene and by inoculation with various fungi.
