Gamma and X-ray Irradiation Improve Postharvest Shelf-Life in 'Bartlett' Pears
… conjugated trienes. Irradiation also suppressed fungal decay in x-ray irradiated pears. Despite being treated at a higher dose, the x-ray treated fruit maintained a firmer texture and delayed yellowing compared to gamma treated fruit. This research shows that the higher doses of irradiation were …

Detection and analysis of the wood decay fungus <i>Lentinus Lepideus </i>Fr. using immunological probes
… in New Zealand White rabbits against the wood decay fungus <i>Lentinus lepideus</i> Fr. and thereafter employed in a variety of immunological techniques to (i) develop an immunodetection system for the fungus and (ii) to analyse L. lepideus antigens. Preliminary experiments indicated that …

Biological control of wood decay in ground contact timbers
… are currently used to prevent the decay of wood exposed to biodeteriogens. However, increasing concerns regarding the long-term environmental effects of the toxic chemicals applied to ground contact timbers has resulted in the investigation and development of a number of …

A Fungal secretome tailored to enable a radical (oxidative) wood decay mechanism in brown rot fungi
… orchestrate the complex mechanisms behind wood decay, which prevents further usage of these fungi in biotechnological fields. Wood degrading fungi were initially classified by the physical properties of the rotted wood as white, brown, and soft rot fungi – with brown and white rot fungi being …

PILOT STUDY ON THE PREDICTION OF HEART ROT IN APPARENTLY SOUND WESTERN LARCH
… with heart rot, managers routinely emphasize decayed trees in their snag retention prescriptions. Where too few trees are present with obvious indicators of decay, apparently sound trees are left to meet retention objectives. These trees may also contain decay, and may offer advantages in …

Effects of environmental factors on wood decay micromorphology of Pinus radiata and Fagus sylvatica, and its significance for in-ground wood preservative performance
… to the continued use of wood in situations where fungal decay and damage from wood boring insects such as termites, would otherwise occur. Significant risks to health and the environment arising from their correct use are unproven but new legislation and consumer trends continue to cause a decline …
