Genomic and phenotypic characterization of Antarctic Pseudomonas/Aquipseudomonas sp. strains with cold-active antifungal activity against Botrytis cinerea
Gray mold, caused by the psychrophilic necrotroph Botrytis cinerea, is a leading cause of postharvest losses, and its control is increasingly compromised by the spread of fungicide-resistant field populations and by the failure of conventional biocontrol agents to operate at cold-chain temperatures. Antarctic soils are...
