WIST # Disrupting Quorum Sensing and AHL Signaling to Combat Bacterial Soft Rot Disease in Orchids # Orchids, renowned for their aesthetic appeal, ecological significance, and economic value, face a severe threat from bacterial soft rot disease caused by Dickeya fangzhongdai. This study focuses on combating the pathogen through the disruption of quorum sensing and AHL signaling. Dickeya fangzhongdai employs plant cell wall degrading enzymes (PCWDEs) and quorum sensing to initiate tissue degradation and disease development. ...
