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.

Production of volatile organic compounds by Aureobasidium pullulans as a potential mechanism of action against postharvest fruit pathogens
TL;DR: It is demonstrated, for the first time, that the production of VOCs could play an essential role in the antagonistic activity of two A. pullulans strains against five fruit postharvest pathogens.

Biocontrol of postharvest gray and blue mold decay of apples with Rhodotorula mucilaginosa and possible mechanisms of action.
TL;DR: R. mucilaginosa has great potential for development of commercial formulations to control postharvest pathogens on fruits and inducement of activities of defense-related enzymes such as POD, PPO and inhibition of lipid peroxidation (MDA content) of apples so as to enhance the resistance and delay the ripening and senescence of apples.

Potential biocontrol activity of a strain of Pichia guilliermondii against grey mold of apples and its possible modes of action
TL;DR: Direct attachment, competition for nitrogen and carbon sources, secretion of hydrolytic enzymes and induction of host resistance play a role in the biocontrol mechanism of P. guilliermondii M8 against B. cinerea.
