Effects of baobab (Adansonia digitata L.) in combination with Sporidiobolus pararoseus Y16 on the activities of the defense-related enzymes and the expression levels of defense-related genes of apples

The efficacy of antagonistic yeast Sporidiobolus pararoseus Y16 alone or in combination with baobab (Adansonia digitata L.) was studied for the expression levels of defense-related genes, oxidative stress and enzymes activity of apple fruits. The results revealed that the treatment of S. pararoseus Y16 at 1 × 108 cells/mL amended with baobab (AB) improved the enzyme activity and then increased the defense mechanism on apple fruit. Moreover, the...
