- Intervention effect Pichia kluyveri B(F8) markedly inhibited Botrytis mycelial growth.
- Intervention effect Pichia kudriavzevii C(A4) markedly inhibited Botrytis mycelial growth.
- Intervention effect Pichia kluyveri B(F8) significantly reduced disease severity on grape fruit.
- Intervention effect Pichia kudriavzevii C(A4) significantly reduced disease severity on grape fruit.
- Observation Yeast volatile profiles were remodeled, with esters, higher alcohols and organic acids the largest detected fractions and patterns modulated by substrate and interaction timing.
- Observation Volatilome differences were most pronounced on grape berries under preventive conditions, particularly for P. kudriavzevii C(A4).
- Observation P. kudriavzevii had an inductive extracellular proteome involving energy metabolism, cell-wall remodeling and stress responses.
- Observation P. kluyveri had a predominantly repressive proteome with selective ubiquitin-related protein upregulation, consistent with maintenance.
