Biological Control of Green Mold in Simulated Post-harvest Chain of Citrus Fruit: Efficacy of Candida oleophila Strain O and Molecular Insight into Elicitation of Host Immune System

This study evaluates the efficacy of Candida oleophila strain O in controlling green mold in citrus fruit and identifies molecular mechanisms of host immune response.

Diversity of mycotoxins and other secondary metabolites re-covered from blood oranges infected by Colletotrichum, Alternaria, and Penicillium species.

This study identifies secondary metabolites and mycotoxins in blood oranges infected by specific fungi, finding that mummified fruits contain higher levels of certain toxins.

Secondary metabolites produced by Colletotrichum spp. on different olive cultivars

This study identifies 45 secondary metabolites produced by four Colletotrichum species on olive cultivars and in vitro, showing differences in metabolite profiles based on host and growth conditions.

Antifungal activity of selected lactic acid bacteria from olive drupes

This study evaluates antifungal activity of lactic acid bacteria from olive drupes against plant pathogens, finding some strains inhibit fungi like Fusarium oxysporum and Penicillium nordicum.

Impact of Bactrocera oleae on the fungal microbiota of ripe olive drupes.

This study examines how olive fruit fly infestation affects the fungal microbiota of olive drupes, finding reduced diversity and altered community balance, but no significant impact on dominant taxa.
