Streptomyces virginiae XDS1-5, an antagonistic actinomycete, as a biocontrol to peach brown rot caused by Monilinia fructicola.

In summary, our study has identified a biocontrol actinomycete, XDS1-5, with the potential to effectively inhibit postharvest brown rot disease in peaches. This finding holds great significance for the biological control of peach brown rot, offering promising prospects for mitigating the economic losses associated with this devastating disease. © 2024 Society of Chemical Industry.
