Blue mold is an economically significant postharvest disease of pome fruit that primarily caused by Penicillium expansum. To manage this and sustain product quality, novel decay intervention strategies are needed also maintain long-term efficacy. Biocontrol organisms natural products promising tools for managing diseases. Here, two chrysogenum isolates, 404 413, were investigated as potential biocontrol agents against P. expansum in apple. Notably, 413 non-pathogenic apple, yet they grew vigorously vitro when compared to the highly aggressive R19 Pe21 isolates. Whole-genome sequencing species-specific barcoding identified both strains chrysogenum. Each strain was inoculated apple with subsequent co-inoculation or simultaneously, 3, 7 days after prior inoculation 413. The these isolates showed reduced incidence severity, most reduction from longer establishment In growth no antagonism between species, further suggesting competitive niche colonization mode action reduction. Both had incomplete patulin gene clusters but tolerated treatment. Finally, hygromycin resistance observed not multiresistant fungicides. Overall, we demonstrate translative serve effective agent blue apples, pending practical optimization formulation.

As endophytes are widely distributed in the plant’s internal compartments and despite having enormous potential as a biocontrol agent against postharvest diseases of fruits, fruit–endophyte–pathogen interactions have not been studied detail. Therefore, this review aims to briefly discuss colonization patterns pathogens host tissue, diversity distribution carposphere host–endophyte–pathogen molecular mechanism endophytic microbiome disease management fruits. Postharvest loss is one major concerns current century. It considered critical challenge food security for rising global population. However, manage loss, still, large population relies on chemical fungicides, which affect quality hazardous health surrounding environment. scientific community has searched alternatives last two decades. In context, microorganisms emerged an economical, sustainable, viable option with integral properties eliciting defense response pathogens. This extensively summarizes recent developments harvested fruits pathogens—the multiple traits endophytes. addition, upscale commercial production treatment discussed.

Postharvest decay of vegetables and fruits presents a significant threat confronting sustainable food production worldwide, in the recent times, applying synthetic fungicides has become most popular technique managing postharvest losses. However, there are concerns reported proofs hazardous impacts on consumers’ health environment, traceable to application chemical treatments as preservatives fresh produce. Physical methods, other hand, cause damage produce, exposing it even more infections. Therefore, healthier environmentally friendly alternatives existing methods for decays produce should be advocated. There is increasing consensus that utilization biological control agents (BCAs), mainly fungi, represents effective strategy controlling losses compared physical treatments. Secretion antifungal compounds, parasitism, well competition nutrients space common antagonistic mechanisms employed by these BCAs. This article provides an overview (i) currently used management diseases highlighting their limitations, (ii) use biocontrol alternative such diseases, with emphasis fungal antagonists, mode action, and, importantly, advantages when commonly used. We therefore hypothesize antagonists prevention loss methods. Finally, particular attention given gaps observed establishing beneficial microbes BCAs factors hamper development, particularly terms shelf life, efficacy, commercialization, legislation procedures.

This study identified secondary metabolites produced by Alternaria alternata, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides, and Penicillium digitatum in fruits of two blood orange cultivars before harvest. Analysis was performed UHPLC–Q-TOF-MS. Three types were selected, asymptomatic, symptomatic showing necrotic lesions caused hail, mummified. Extracts from peel juice analyzed separately. the prevalent species recovered mummified hail-injured fruits. Among 47 identified, 16, 18, 13 A. C. P. digitatum, respectively. Consistently with isolations, indicating presence these fungi also asymptomatic fruits, metabolic profiles did not differ substantially. Major differences found such as a significant higher 5,4-dihydroxy-3,7,8-trimethoxy-6C-methylflavone Atrovenetin, particularly Tarocco Lempso cultivar. Moreover, mycotoxins patulin Rubratoxin B detected exclusively Patulin both peel, relative abundance juice, while only juice.
