TLDR
In this review, the application of antagonistic yeasts for postharvest decay control is summarized, including the antagonistic yeast species and sources, antagonistic mechanisms, commercial applications, and efficacy improvement.Abstract:
Fruit plays an important role in human diet. Whereas, fungal pathogens cause huge losses of fruit during storage and transportation, abuse of chemical fungicides leads to serious environmental pollution and endangers human health. Antagonistic yeasts (also known as biocontrol yeasts) are promising substitutes for chemical fungicides in the control of postharvest decay owing to their widespread distribution, antagonistic ability, environmentally friendly nature, and safety for humans. Over the past few decades, the biocontrol mechanisms of antagonistic yeasts have been extensively studied, such as nutrition and space competition, mycoparasitism, and induction of host resistance. Moreover, combination of antagonistic yeasts with other agents or treatments were developed to improve the biocontrol efficacy. Several antagonistic yeasts are used commercially. In this review, the application of antagonistic yeasts for postharvest decay control is summarized, including the antagonistic yeast species and sources, antagonistic mechanisms, commercial applications, and efficacy improvement. Issues requiring further study are also discussed.read more

Potential of microbial endophytes to enhance the resistance to postharvest diseases of fruit and vegetables.
TL;DR: This article puts forward the future studying area for using antagonistic endophytes to prevent and control of fruit and vegetable postharvest diseases: screening more potential broad spectrum anti-pathogen endophyte and their metabolic active substance by the method of macro genomics.

Successful biocontrol of major postharvest and soil-borne plant pathogenic fungi by antagonistic yeasts
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that fungal infected tomato plants, grown under hydroponic or soil conditions, showed a significant reduction in disease severity after yeast treatment, and no effective antagonistic biocontrol product is available for the simultaneous control of these two fungal pathogens.

Biological control of postharvest diseases of fruits.
TL;DR: Biological control of postharvest diseases (BCPD) has emerged as an effective alternative to fungicide use because wound-invading necrotrophic pathogens are vulnerable to biocontrol, antagonists can be applied directly to the targeted area (fruit wounds), and a single application can significantly reduce fruit decays.

Development of biocontrol products for postharvest diseases of fruit: The importance of elucidating the mechanisms of action of yeast antagonists
Davide Spadaro,Samir Droby +1 more
TL;DR: The current reviews focuses on the recent knowledge on the mechanisms by which yeast biocontrol agents (BCAs) interact with pathogens and fruit tissues, including antibiosis, mycoparasitism, production of lytic enzymes, induced resistance, competition for limiting nutrients and space, and the role of oxidative stress.

Prospective Study of Fruit and Vegetable Consumption and Risk of Lung Cancer Among Men and Women
Diane Feskanich,Regina G. Ziegler,Dominique S. Michaud,Edward Giovannucci,Frank E. Speizer,Walter C. Willett,Graham A. Colditz +6 more
TL;DR: Higher fruit and vegetable intakes were associated with lower risks of lung cancer in women but not in men, and it is possible that the inverse association among the women remained confounded by unmeasured smoking characteristics, although fruits and vegetables were protective in both men and women who never smoked.
