Article Synopsis
- Gray mold, a serious disease affecting apples, causes significant losses before and after harvest, leading researchers to explore biological alternatives for control.
- Two endophytic bacteria were identified that showed strong abilities to inhibit gray mold both in lab tests and in actual apple fruit.
- Experiments showed that treating infected apples with these bacteria reduced decay and boosted the fruit's natural defenses, while also enhancing shelf life during storage at cold temperatures compared to untreated apples.
