Biological Control of Postharvest Spoilage in Fresh Mandarins (Citrus Reticulata Blanco) Fruits Using Bacteria During Storage

Identification of Volatile Organic Compounds in Extremophilic Bacteria and Their Effective Use in Biocontrol of Postharvest Fungal Phytopathogens

“…Regardless of environmental damage and potential risks to human health, the use of chemical fertilisers in agriculture and during postharvest storage has increased and remains at high levels given the growing demand for food worldwide ( Goswami and Deka, 2020 ). The factors responsible for postharvest losses include fungal pathogen infections which are estimated to account for approximately 20–25% of fruit and vegetable postharvest decay in developed countries and contribute significantly to a deterioration in quality and nutrient composition, mycotoxin contamination and a reduction in the market value of fruit ( Frankowski et al, 2001 ; Mari et al, 2016 ; Gotor-Vila et al, 2017 ; Tozlu et al, 2018 ). Many fungal species of the most diverse genera have been reported to be associated with postharvest diseases in fruits and vegetables worldwide.…”

“…Many fungal species of the most diverse genera have been reported to be associated with postharvest diseases in fruits and vegetables worldwide. These include Penicillium expansum , Penicillium italicum and Penicillium digitatum ( Cheng et al, 2020 ; Kanashiro et al, 2020 ; Yu et al, 2020 ; Zhang et al, 2020a ), Alternaria alternata ( Tozlu et al, 2018 ; Garganese et al, 2019 ), Phytophthora citrophthora ( Díaz et al, 2020 ) the necrotrophic pathogens Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Botrytis cinerea ( Fernando et al, 2005 ; Giorgio et al, 2015 ; Massawe et al, 2018 ; Zhao et al, 2020 ), Colletotrichum gloeosporioides ( Jin et al, 2020 ; Shi et al, 2021 ), various species belonging to the genus Fusarium ( Medina-Romero et al, 2017 ; Go et al, 2019 ; Lee et al, 2019 ) and the genus Monilinia , known to be the most important fungal pathogen to infect stone fruits ( Martini and Mari, 2014 ; Rungjindamai et al, 2014 ; Obi et al, 2018 ).…”

Bacillus subtilis TV-17C İçerikli Bir Biyoformülasyonun Elma Fidan Yetiştiriciliğinde Kullanım Olanaklarının Araştırılması

“…Bu çalışmada kullanılan B. subtilis TV-17C izolatı ile daha önce yapılan çalışmalarda bu izolatın biyopestisit özelliğinin de çok güçlü olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sera koşullarında yürütülen çalışmalarda bu izolatın Alternaria solani'ye karşı %69 (Çamlıca and Tozlu, 2019) ve Sclerotinia sclerotiorum'a karşı %100 (Tozlu et al, 2016) etkinlik sağladığı, depo koşullarında yürütülen çalışmalarda ise mandalinada depo hastalıklarına karşı %73 (Tozlu et al, 2018) ve Penicillium digitatum'a karşı %95 (Mohammadi et al, 2017)…”
