Application of Bacillus tequilensis for the control of gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea in blueberry and mechanisms of action: inducing phenylpropanoid pathway metabolism.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Botrytis cinerea a blueberry gray mold, is one of the main diseases affecting postharvest storage, causing significant losses. Several studies have shown that Bacillus tequilensis can prevent the growth of plant pathogens by producing various antibacterial substances, and can induce plant resistance. However, research on the biological management of post-harvest gray mold in blueberries using B. tequilensis remains unclear.

Methods

To better control the postharvest gray mold of blueberry, the effects of B. tequilensis KXF6501 fermentation solution (YY) and KXF6501 cell-free supernatant (SQ) on the induction of disease resistance in blueberry fruits were studied using biochemical and transcriptomic analyses.
