Fruit Microbiome: Emerging Aspects in Postharvest Disease Management covers all areas of microbial ecology and serves as a basis for innovative methods of microbiome engineering and the incorporation of probiotics on fruit nutritional quality. Emphasizing the latest advancements in the fruit microbiome and applications in biocontrol perspectives, the book includes advanced and recent insights into the development of microbial pesticides that will be helpful for those seeking ways to protect and improve plant health and yield protection.Phyto-microbiome plays a crucial role in maintaining the health and productivity of all plants, including fruit plants whose yield contributes to global food security. Fruit also harbors numerous microbial communities as an epiphytes or endophytes, and theses microbes play a vital role in protecting them from pathogen invasion during pre-or- postharvest storage. Further, the development and commercialization of several biocontrol products derived from fruits microbiome have proven relevant in broader plant disease management. - Highlights emerging microbial biocontrol strategies for plant pathogens management using fruits microbiome - Includes production and commercialization of microbial biopesticides - Presents the latest omics and other technologies used for targeting fruit microbiomes and their sustainable use in phytopathogen management
