Article Abstract
Background: The application of biocontrol agents offers a promising strategy for managing pear anthracnose, yet their efficacy is often limited by unstable colonization on fruit surfaces.
Results: Here, we isolated Paenibacillus polymyxa JF_P68, which exhibits strong inhibitory activity against Colletotrichum fructicola. To enhance its environmental tolerance, we developed a hyaluronic acid (HA)-functionalized nanoarmor using a layer-by-layer coating technique. This nanoarmor significantly improved the JF_P68's resistance to ultraviolet radiation and oxidative stress. In vivo trials demonstrated that nanoarmor-equipped JF_P68 reduced pear anthracnose lesion diameters by 43.5% and maintained higher colonization levels on fruit surfaces. Genome analysis revealed 20 biosynthetic gene clusters, including novel antimicrobial candidates, underpinning its broad-spectrum antifungal activity.
Conclusion: The single-cell coating method, characterized by simplicity, scalability, and biocompatibility, significantly enhances the persistence and efficacy of biocontrol agents. This study provides a novel approach to improving the biological control of pear anthracnose. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.

Exploitation of elicitor-induced resistance represents a promising strategy for crop disease management. Although numerous elicitors have been identified, the mechanisms by which they trigger crop resistance have remained largely uncharacterized. Pear anthracnose (pear bitter rot), caused by the broad-host-range pathogen , results in significant economic losses.

Article Synopsis
- Pear anthracnose, caused by Colletotrichum bacteria, significantly hinders pear tree growth and fruit yield, making early detection crucial to minimize economic losses.
- This study employed hyperspectral imaging (HSI) to identify the disease before symptoms appeared, utilizing techniques like the Successive Projection Algorithm (SPA) and Random Forest (RF) to extract and analyze spectral features and vegetation indices.
- The best classification model combined multiple features using machine learning algorithms, achieving a 98.61% accuracy rate in detecting early anthracnose, highlighting the effectiveness of HSI for monitoring pear tree health.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers synthesized 32 new pinonic acid derivatives from α-pinene, focusing on enhancing antifungal properties through thiourea modifications.
- One promising compound showed strong antifungal activity (EC = 9.22 mg/L) similar to the control, effective against pear anthracnose, and had low toxicity to honeybees and human cell lines.
- The compound destabilizes fungal mycelium, increases cell permeability, interferes with phospholipase C, and binds effectively to key enzymes, making it a potential candidate for developing new antifungal treatments.

Unlabelled: Phytopathogens secrete numerous molecules into the environment to establish a microbial niche and facilitate host infection. The phytopathogenic fungus which causes pear anthracnose, can colonize different plant tissues like leaves and fruits, which are occupied by a diversity of microbes. We speculate that this fungus produces antimicrobial effectors to outcompete host-associated competitive microorganisms.
