Modulation of Growth and Mycotoxigenic Potential of Pineapple Fruitlet Core Rot Pathogens during In Vitro Interactions

Pineapple Fruitlet Core Rot is a disease caused by multiple fungi that live together inside pineapple fruit. This study showed that different fungi compete with each other in ways that change how much toxin they produce. One fungus, Talaromyces stollii, was particularly good at limiting the growth of Fusarium species. Understanding how these fungi interact could help prevent disease and keep pineapples safer to eat.
