Rhizopus rot is a serious postharvest disease of various crops caused by spp. and controlled mainly by synthetic fungicides. We detected the antifungal activity of a culture extract of F3736 against . The active ingredient was identified as moriniafungin, a known sordarin derivative, which showed minimum inhibitory concentrations of 1-8 μg/ml against spp. and 0.03-0.13 μg/ml against spp. . Moriniafungin showed protective control efficacies against Rhizopus rot on apple and peach fruits. Treatment with 25 μg/ml moriniafungin delimited the lesion diameter significantly by 100% on -inoculated apple fruits compared with the non-treated control. Treatment with 0.04 μg/ml of moriniafungin reduced the lesion diameter significantly by 56.45%, and treatment with higher concentrations of 0.2-25 μg/ml reduced the lesion diameter by 70-90% on var. -inoculated peach fruit. These results suggest moriniafungin has potential as a control agent of postharvest diseases caused by spp.

is known for causing soft rot in fruit and vegetables during postharvest. Although it has traditionally been considered a saprophyte, it appears to behave more like a necrotrophic pathogen. In this study, we propose that invades host tissues by actively killing host cells and overcoming the host defense mechanisms, as opposed to growing saprophytically on decaying plant matter.

Vascular plant one-zinc finger (VOZ) transcription factors (TFs) play crucial roles in plant immunity. Nevertheless, how VOZs modulate defense signaling in response to elicitor-induced resistance is not fully understood. Here, the defense elicitor β-aminobutyric acid (BABA) resulted in the visible suppression of Rhizopus rot disease of peach fruit caused by Rhizopus stolonifer.

Article Synopsis
- Dictyophora rubrovolvata is a valuable edible fungus cultivated in China, but a rot disease affected 25% of a 1.33-ha area in Shanghai between December 2023 and March 2024 due to high temperatures and poor ventilation.
- The disease damages the fungus's surface, leading to mold infestation, which disrupts fruiting body formation and produces moldy rot.
- Researchers isolated the pathogen, cultured it, and confirmed its identity through PCR, resulting in a strain designated as DIC01, with genomic data deposited in GenBank showing high similarity to known fungal sequences.
