Daniela Wöber; Karin Hansel-Hohl; Sophie Rohringer; et al. Postharvest Biology and Technology 2025. doi:10.1016/j.postharvbio.2025.113401
Other claims from this paper (6)
- Observation Post-harvest microbial communities differed over time and had markers associated with storability.
- Association Saccharomycetes correlated with reduced storage capacity.
- Association Gluconobacter correlated with reduced storage capacity.
- Association Plectosphaerella indicated good storage capacity.
- Association Actinobacteria species correlated with good storage capacity.
- Method / resource The microbial biomarkers could identify sugar beet varieties with good storability.
