Endophytic fungal entomopathogens with activity against plant pathogens: ecology and evolution (2010, background): “…Muscodor albus Worapong, Strobel & W.M. Hess (Ascomycota: Xylariales) produces a mixture of VOCs that are lethal to a variety of microorganisms (Strobel et al. 2001; Mercier and Jiménez 2004; Mercier and Smilanick 2005; Strobel 2006), as well as to insects (Riga et al. 2008; Lacey et al. 2009).”
Antifungal activity of some Moroccan plants against Geotrichum candidum, the causal agent of postharvest citrus sour rot (2012, background): “Sour rot is not controlled by postharvest chemical treatments, mainly imazalil and thiabendazole (Mercier and Smilanick, 2005), and only controlled by Guazatine (Brown, 1988), a chemical that is not authorized in several countries.”
Effect of volatile compounds produced by Bacillus strains on postharvest decay in citrus (2010, background): “harvest disease control is now directed more towards the use of natural volatile compounds (VCs) produced by microorganisms that are biodegradable, that do not leave toxic residues on the fruit surface and displays as effective disease control as conventional fungicides (Mercier and Smilanick, 2005)”
