The Potential of Wild Yeasts as Promising Biocontrol Agents against Pine Canker Diseases

Native wild yeasts from forest ecosystems represent an interesting potential source of biocontrol organisms in synergy with disease-tolerant materials. Yeasts have a combination competitive mechanisms and low requirements for their biotechnological application as agents. The current study aimed to increase the number candidates against Fusarium circinatum Diplodia sapinea. enzymatic antagonistic activities were evaluated using different screening methods, which direct impact on growth pathogen was measured well some properties such cellulose lignin degradation, tolerance biocides, volatile compound production, or iron effect, may be interest processes related management diseases. A total 58 yeast strains belonging 21 species obtained oak vineyard evaluated. treatment behaved differently depending plant clone. 2g isolate (Torulaspora delbrueckii) showed highest inhibitory activity D. sapinea 25q 90q (Saccharomyces paradoxus) F. circinatum. Clones IN416 IN216 most susceptible tolerant sapinea, respectively, while opposite observed
