Apple ( Malus domestica Borkh.), one of the most economically important fruits widely consumed worldwide, has been suffering from apple ring rot caused by Botryosphaeria dothidea , which dramatically affects its quality and yield. In the present study, we demonstrated that Pseudomonas protegens , is...
