Biofilm production by Aureobasidium pullulans improves biocontrol against sour rot in citrus

TL;DR: Results showed the importance of the addition of nutrients in A. pullulans based-formulations when aiming for their use on a commercial scale, and reported the first report of a positive correlation between the increase in the quantity of biofilm produced by A. pullulans, with increased antagonistic activity.

Significance of Inducible Defense-related Proteins in Infected Plants

TL;DR: The evolutionary conservation of similar defense-related proteins in monocots and dicots, but also their divergent occurrence in other conditions, suggest that these proteins serve essential functions in plant life, whether in defense or not.

Bacillus lipopeptides: versatile weapons for plant disease biocontrol.

TL;DR: The different structural traits and physico-chemical properties of these effective surface- and membrane-active amphiphilic biomolecules explain their involvement in most of the mechanisms developed by bacteria for the biocontrol of different plant 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.

Biological control of postharvest diseases of fruits and vegetables by microbial antagonists: A review

TL;DR: The results of this technology are encouraging, but there need to continue to explore potential uses on the commercial scale in different corners of the world.

Twenty years of postharvest biocontrol research: Is it time for a new paradigm?

TL;DR: The field of postharvest biocontrol as it has developed over the past 20 years is examined, the reasons that have limited its commercialization are defined, and areas of research that need to be addressed are identified.
