Postharvest diseases, such as black spots caused by , have caused huge economic losses to the tomato industry and seriously restricted its development. In recent years, biological control has become a new method to control postharvest diseases of fruits and vegetables. Our research group screened , a yeast demonstrating a promising control effect on a postharvest black spot disease of tomatoes, and explored its physiological mechanism of prevention and control. Therefore, this study investigated the prevention and control effect of metabolites of on tomato black spot disease and the inhibition effect of main components on . A GC-MS analysis found that isoamyl acetate was the main component of that played an inhibitory role. The results showed that isoamyl acetate could inhibit the growth of and had a certain control effect on postharvest black spots in tomatoes. Our findings suggest that isoamyl acetate could be a promising alternative to fungicides for controlling postharvest black spots in tomatoes.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study examines how the causal agent of pear black spot responds to signals from fruit surfaces, focusing on the role of a specific transcription factor in the infection process.
  • - Microscopic observations revealed that a certain strain showed a delayed infection process and reduced formation of infection structures when interacting with pear cuticular wax.
  • - RNA sequencing indicated significant gene regulation changes, including down-regulation of cell wall degrading enzymes and activation of the autophagy pathway, providing insights for developing better strategies to control fungal diseases.

Article Synopsis
  • Black spot disease is a common issue for fruits and vegetables, requiring a deeper understanding of its pathogenicity to develop effective treatment strategies.
  • A study found that sodium nitroprusside (a nitric oxide donor) increased the severity of black spot lesions, revealing that nitric oxide treatment boosts both reactive oxygen species levels and the activity of several protective enzymes.
  • The findings suggest that nitric oxide contributes to the harmful effects of black spot disease by enhancing pathogenic processes, which could guide future control measures for affected crops.
