The mycelial growth inhibitory activity of the minicells‐encapsulated dsRNAs (ME‐dsRNAs) targeting various genes of B. cinerea on two other fruit rot causing fungi. Different concentrations of ME‐dsRNAs effects on mycelial growth of (A, B) Alternaria alternata, and (E, F) Penicillium expansum at 72 h after treatment. The mycelial growth inhibition rate of (C, D) Alternaria alternata, and (G, H) Penicillium expansum. Data represent the mean ± SEM. Bars labelled with different letters are significantly different at P < 0.05 according to Duncan’s multiple range test.
