Fungal Biocontrol Agents in the Management of Postharvest Losses of Fresh Produce—A Comprehensive Review

Journal of Fungi, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 11(1), P. 82 - 82

Published: Jan. 20, 2025

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.

Signaling of Plant Defense Mediated by Receptor-like Kinases, Receptor-like Cytoplasmic Protein Kinases and MAPKs Triggered by Fungal Chitin in Horticultural Crops

Horticulturae, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 10(4), P. 361 - 361

Published: April 5, 2024

Fresh horticultural products are economically significant foods that highly demanded by consumers worldwide; however, they perishable and susceptible to deterioration fungi, which contribute their short shelf-life cause post-harvest losses. Among the alternatives suggested for fungal control in plants is elicitation of innate plant defense mechanism, may be activated when specific molecules phytopathogen, such as chitin, recognized. Chitin a long-chain polymer N-acetyl-α-D-glucosamine cell wall; it possesses biological activity eliciting immune response. This molecule its oligosaccharides recognized through transmembrane receptors known receptor-like kinases (RLKs) proteins (RLPs). Mediated cytoplasmic (RLCKs), bind intracellular domain these receptors, initiate signal transduction via MAP kinases, triggering In model plants, Oryza sativa (rice) Arabidopsis thaliana, set RLK/RLP-RLCK-MAP involved immunity triggered chitin. Furthermore, products, research into molecular events between three elements has similar processes occur. However, little about fruits. Against this background, present review provides most recent relevant findings on associations response chitin outlines could participate signaling process crops.

Published: Jan. 27, 2025

Abstract The increasing demand for natural alternatives to synthetic fungicides has prompted research into products like essential oils postharvest disease management. This study investigated the antifungal, antioxidant, cytotoxic, and genotoxic potential of oil mixtures derived from oregano, rosemary, mint against Penicillium digitatum , predominant fungal pathogen causing green mold in orange fruits. P. NPAGRASU 2024 was isolated identified as most abundant species (60.2%) infected oranges. It deposited GenBank with gene accession number PP930644 MIRCEN culture collection EMCC 358874. antimicrobial activity individual evaluated, oregano exhibiting highest antifungal (inhibition zone diameter 4.2 cm) . L-optimal mixture design response surface methodology (RSM) optimization revealed a highly effective (Run 8) comprising 46.26% 53.74% 99.65% actual growth reduction. demonstrated potent antioxidant activity, reaching approximately 75% DPPH radical scavenging at 3.125 mg/mL.
