Biocontrol potential of Ampelomyces quisqualis strain CPA-9 against powdery mildew: Conidia production in liquid medium and efficacy on zucchini leaves
(Elsevier, 2020-03-13)
Ampelomyces quisqualis has been reported to be a promising biocontrol agent (BCA) against powdery mildew, and it has been commercialised as AQ10 Biofungicide®. However, isolated strains showed inconsistent ...
Scrutinising the relationship between major physiological and compositional changes during ‘Merrill O’Henry’ peach growth with brown rot susceptibility
(SAGE Publications, 2020-09-22)
In the present work, the major physiological and compositional changes occurring during 'Merrill O'Henry' peach growth and its relationship with susceptibility to three strains of Monilinia spp. at 49, ...
Verifying the biocontrol activity of novel film‐forming formulations of Candida sake CPA‐1: resilience in relation to environmental factors, rainfall episodes, and control of Botrytis cinerea on different hosts
(Wiley, 2019-04-13)
BACKGROUND
The efficacy of Candida sake CPA‐1 as a biocontrol agent against several diseases has been studied since it was isolated 20 years ago. However, it was only recently that two suitable and ...
Depicting the battle between nectarine and Monilinia laxa: the fruit developmental stage dictates the effectiveness of the host defenses and the pathogen’s infection strategies
(Springer Nature, 2020-10-01)
Infections by the fungus Monilinia laxa, the main cause of brown rot in Europe, result in considerable losses of stone
fruit. Herein, we present a comprehensive transcriptomic approach to unravel ...
Dehydration of Ampelomyces quisqualis CPA-9 conidia by adding biodegradable coatings: Biocontrol activity against powdery mildew and physical characterization of the formulated product
(Elsevier, 2021-07-07)
Ampelomyces quisqualis CPA-9 was reported as a promising biocontrol fungus against powdery mildew on cucurbits, although its formulation had not been developed. The present work aimed to develop a ...
Insight into a Successful Development of Biocontrol Agents: Production, Formulation, Packaging, and Shelf Life as Key Aspects
(MDPI, 2022-04-04)
Biocontrol agents (BCAs) have been proposed and studied over recent decades as a suita‐ ble alternative to diminish or substitute synthetic fungicides used to control pre‐ and postharvest diseases. ...
Ethylene biosynthesis and response factors are differentially modulated during the interaction of peach petals with Monilinia laxa or Monilinia fructicola
(Elsevier, 2020-07-13)
Monilinia spp. may infect stone fruit at any growth stage, although susceptibility to brown rot depends on both host properties and climatological conditions. This said, no studies deciphering the host ...
Emission of volatile organic compounds during nectarine-Monilinia laxa interaction and its relationship with fruit susceptibility to brown rot
(Elsevier, 2022-06-27)
Fruit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) can be emitted by stone fruit in response to biotic stress. One of the main fungal diseases of stone fruit is brown rot, caused by species of Monilinia spp. Hence, ...
Light Intensity Alters the Behavior of Monilinia spp. in vitro and the Disease Development on Stone Fruit-Pathogen Interaction
(Frontiers Media, 2021-09-08)
The development of brown rot caused by the necrotrophic fungi Monilinia spp. in stone fruit under field and postharvest conditions depends, among others, on environmental factors. The effect of temperature ...
Field validation of biocontrol strategies to control brown rot on stone fruit in several European countries
(Wiley, 2021-01-14)
BACKGROUND: Brown rot caused by Monilinia spp. is the most signicant disease of stone fruit. New approaches to fruit production have necessitated the development of control strategies that are more ...
