This paper is proposing to use lectins as a biocontrol agent against phytopathogenic fungi in an agricaltural field.<\/p>\n<p>The antifungal and antioomycete activity of mitilectins against two true fungi and two oomycetes that impact economically in crops are shown in this paper. Mytilectins inhibited fully the growth of the fungi Alternaria alternata and Fusarium oxysporum, as well as the oomycetes Phytophthora capsici and Pythium aphanidermatum. Notably, it is remarkable that mytilectins demonstrated greater inhibition than the commercial antifungal control agent (CAPTAN).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A group from Instituto de Qu\u00edmica, Departamento de Qu\u00edmica de Biomacromol\u00e9culas, Universidad Nacional Aut\u00f3noma<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"blog-btn\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/en\/are-lectins-only-used-in-medicine-no-there-is-potential-in-the-agricultural-field-too\/\" class=\"home-blog-btn\">\u7d9a\u304d\u3092\u8aad\u3080<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16164","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-technology-en"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16164","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16164"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16164\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16166,"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16164\/revisions\/16166"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.emukk.com\/WP\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
