Postharvest rot of potato tubers caused by fungal pathogens is a major economic issue with potential food safety concerns. In this study, the combined use of the antagonistic yeast Wickerhamomyces anomalus and UV-C treatment showed the highest inhibition effect on Alternaria rot of potato tubers, reducing the size of the infections. The treatments also induced the expression of defense-related genes and increased the levels of flavonoids and lignin in the tubers. The integration of biocontrol agents and physical treatments provides an effective and eco-friendly approach for managing postharvest rot in potato.
Postharvest rot of potato tubers caused by fungal pathogens is the main cause of significant economic losses, while also raising potential food safety issues. Integrated disease management, utilizing bio-safe and eco-friendly methods, represents a sustainable strategy for reducing postharvest losses in crops, including potato. In the current study, the application of the antagonistic yeast, Wickerhamomyces anomalus, combined with a UV-C treatment was evaluated for the management of postharvest Alternaria rot of potato tubers, caused by Alternaria tenuissima. Both W. anomalus and UV-C as individual treatments reduced the size of A. tenuissima infections on potato tubers, relative to the control, while the combined treatment of W. anomalus and UV-C exhibited the highest level of inhibition. W. anomalus or UV-C alone, and especially when used in combination, induced the expression of defense-related genes, including polyphenol oxidase, peroxidase, and ss-1,3-glucanase, and also increased the level of flavonoids and lignin in potato tubers. Our findings indicate that the mechanism of action by which UV-C enhances the biocontrol effect of W. anomalus against postharvest Alternaria rot includes the activation of defense-related response in potato tubers. The integration of biocontrol agents and physical treatments (e.g., UV-C) represents an effective, eco-friendly hurdle technology for managing postharvest rot in potato.
