Combining biocontrol agents with different mechanisms of action in a strategy to control Botrytis cinerea on grapevine (2017, background): “The main mechanism of action is based on competition with the pathogen for nutrients at the infection site, although hydrolytic enzymes are also produced (Castoria et al., 2001; Di Francesco et al., 2015a).”
Postharvest biological control of blue mold of apple by Pseudomonas fluorescens during commercial storage and potential modes of action (2017, methodology): “More recently, Di Francesco et al. (2015) demonstrated that VOCs produced by A. pullulans L1 and L8 gave excellent control of P. expansum, Botrytis cinerea and Colletotrichum acutatum on ‘Golden Delicious’ apple.”
Volatile organic compounds produced by Antarctic strains of Candida sake play a role in the control of postharvest pathogens of apples. (2017, background): “The VOCs produced by C. sake 41E were mainly esters, of which ethyl hexanoate and 2- phenylethyl acetate have been reported as components of the antifungal VOCs produced by yeasts (Di Francesco et al., 2015; Huang et al., 2011; Masoud et al., 2005).”
Antifungal activity of the volatile organic compounds produced by Bacillus velezensis strains against postharvest fungal pathogens (2020, background): “T Wickerhamomyces, Metschnikowia, Aureobasidium or Saccharomyces (Contarino et al., 2019; Di Francesco et al., 2015) are able to produce VOCs.”
