Insights into stress responses in mandarins triggered by Bacillus subtilis cyclic lipopeptides and exogenous plant hormones upon Penicillium digitatum infection

Bacillus subtilis CLP extract activates defense gene expression and increases the unique protein production involving in pathways of ISR, SAR, ubiquitin-proteasome system, and glycolysis for stress responses in flavedo tissues. Cyclic lipopeptides (CLPs) of Bacillus subtilis ABS-S14 had ability to activate plant defensive pathways, increase resistance and control green mold rot caused by Penicillium digitatum in mandarin fruit. The current study...
