Plant-Derived Antimicrobial Peptides as Natural Alternatives to Chemical Fungicides for Postharvest Control of <em>Botrytis cinerea</em> in Apples

2026-03-25

Abstract excerpt

Postharvest fungal diseases remain a major cause of fruit losses during storage and distribution. In apples, grey mould caused by Botrytis cinerea is one of the most important postharvest pathogens, leading to significant economic losses worldwide. Although chemical fungicides are widely used to control this disease, increasing concerns about toxicity, environmental impact, and pathogen resistance have stimulated...
