Mechanism of rhizosphere-derived Serratia plymuthica B2 and its volatile organic compounds against postharvest gray mold of tomato.
Gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea seriously compromises the postharvest quality of tomato fruits, highlighting the need for safe and efficient biocontrol agents. In this study, strain B2 with broad-spectrum antagonistic activity was isolated from the rhizosphere soil of Aucklandia lappa and identified as Serratia pl...
