Investigating the effect of methyl jasmonate on the biocontrol activity of Meyerozyma guilliermondii against blue mold decay of apples and the possible mechanisms involved

Apple is one of the largely grown fruits in China, and it suffers great economic losses caused by Penicillium expansum infection every year. In the present study, we ascertained the efficacy of Meyerozyma guilliermondii enhanced by 200 μmol/L methyl jasmonate (MeJA) in controlling the postharvest blue mold decay of apples and the possible mechanisms involved. The results demonstrated that the biological control ability of M. guilliermondii...
