Antagonistic activity of two yeasts against Penicillium expansum in stone fruits
Abstract BACKGROUND Stone fruits are vulnerable to contamination by Penicillium expansum (PE), a patulin‐producing mould. The use of yeasts as biocontrol agents could be an effective strategy to combat this pathogen. This study evaluated the ability of Metschnikowia pulcherrima L672 (L672) and Pichia kudriavzevii L40 (L40) as biocontrol strategies on ...

Contrasting impacts of climbing plants on host tree reproduction in a drought‐stressed forest
Climbing plants, or climbers, are known to negatively affect the survival and reproduction of tropical and temperate humid forest trees through competition and structural parasitism. These impacts are attributed to their growth strategy, which relies on other plants for mechanical support and allows them to divert resources away from structural ...
