Sweet cherry: Composition, postharvest preservation, processing and trends for its future use (2016, background): “The details of action mechanisms, traits of desirable microbial antagonists, and the use of microbial antagonists have been reviewed (Sharma et al., 2009; Jamalizadeh et al., 2011).”
Stepwise screening of microorganisms for commercial use in biological control of plant-pathogenic fungi and bacteria (2011, background): “In recent decades, antagonists have been successfully targeted at diseases of seedlings, roots, leaves and fruits (Paulitz and Bélanger, 2001; Sharma et al., 2009; Smilanick, 1994; Weller, 1998; Whipps, 2001).”
Postharvest Biology and Technology for Preserving Fruit Quality (2010, background): “This quantitative relationship, however, is highly dependent on the ability of the antagonists to multiply and grow at the wound site (Sharma et al., 2009).”
Biological control of postharvest diseases by microbial antagonists: how many mechanisms of action? (2016, background): “However, the mechanisms by which BCAs exert their activity against pathogen or disease have not yet been fully elucidated ( Sharma et al. 2009 ).”
