Pathogen infestation results in significant losses of fruits and vegetables during handling, transportation, and storage. The use of synthetic fungicides has been a common measure for controlling plant pathogens. However, their excessive use of chemicals has led to increased environmental pollution, leaving large amounts of chemicals in agricultural products, posing a threat to human and animal health. There is now an increasing amount of research activities to explore safer and more innovative ways to control plant pathogens. In this regard, endophytic bacteria contribute significantly. Endophytic bacteria are ubiquitous in the internal tissues of plants without causing damage or disease to the host. Due to their high volatility and difficulties in residue in fruits and vegetables, volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) produced by endophytic bacteria have received a lot of attention in recent years. VOCs are a potential biofumigant for the effective control of postharvest fruits and vegetables diseases. This review focuses mainly on the recent progress in using endophytic bacteria VOCs to control post-harvest fruits and vegetables disease. This review provides a brief overview of the concept, characteristics, and summarises the types, application effect, and control mechanisms of endophytic bacterial VOCs. The research area that is being developed has great application value in agriculture and living practice.
病原体侵染会导致水果和蔬菜在处理、运输和储存过程中大量损失。使用合成杀菌剂一直是控制植物病原体的常用措施。然而，它们的过度使用导致了环境污染的加剧，大量化学物质残留在农产品中，对人类和动物的健康构成威胁。现在有越来越多的研究活动来探索更安全和创新的方法来控制植物病原体。在这方面，内生细菌有很大的贡献。内生细菌普遍存在于植物的内部组织中，不会对宿主造成伤害或疾病。由于它们在水果和蔬菜中的高挥发性和残留困难，内生细菌产生的挥发性有机化合物（VOCs）近年来受到了很多关注。VOCs 是一种有效的生物熏蒸剂，可有效控制采后水果和蔬菜病害。本综述主要集中在利用内生细菌 VOCs 控制采后水果和蔬菜病害的最新进展。本综述简要概述了概念、特征，并总结了内生细菌 VOCs 的类型、应用效果和控制机制。这一正在发展的研究领域在农业和实际生活中有很大的应用价值。
