Exploring sources of resistance to brown rot in an interspecific almond × peach population
(Wiley, 2019-02-19)
BACKGROUND: Monilinia spp. are responsible for brown rot, one of the most significant stone fruit diseases. Planting resistant cultivars seems a promising alternative, although most commercial cultivars ...
Phenotypic plasticity of Monilinia spp. in response to light wavelengths: From in vitro development to virulence on nectarines
(Elsevier, 2022-05-10)
The development of brown rot in stone fruit caused by the necrotrophic fungus Monilinia spp. is influenced by many abiotic factors, such as temperature, humidity, and light. Specifically, filamentous ...
Untangling the role of ethylene beyond fruit development and ripening: A physiological and molecular perspective focused on the Monilinia-peach interaction
(Elsevier, 2022-04-14)
It is already well known that ethylene plays a crucial role in peach fruit growth and ripening, by triggering an unset of biochemical and physiological changes that finally make the fruit attractive for ...
Dry formulations of the biocontrol agent Candida sakeCPA‐1 using fluidised bed drying to control the main postharvest diseases on fruits
(Wiley, 2017-01-23)
BACKGROUND: The biocontrol agentCandida sakeCPA-1 is effective against several diseases. Consequently, the optimisationof a dry formulation ofC. saketo improve its shelf life and manipulability is ...
Genome Sequence of the Brown Rot Fungal Pathogen Monilinia laxa
(American Society for Microbiology, 2018-04-26)
Monilinia laxa (phylum Ascomycota) is a plant pathogen responsible for
the brown rot blossom blight disease in stone fruit trees of the Rosaceae family,
such as apricots. We report here the genome ...
Global analysis of the apple fruit microbiome: are all apples the same?
(Wiley, 2021-03-18)
We present the first worldwide study on the apple (Malus × domestica) fruit microbiome that examines questions regarding the composition and the assembly of microbial communities on and in apple fruit. ...
Environmental fate and behaviour of the biocontrol agent Bacillus amyloliquefaciens CPA-8 after preharvest application to stone fruit
(Wiley, 2017-09-30)
BACKGROUND:Bacillus amyloliquefaciensstrain CPA-8 has been described as an effective biocontrol agent to control brownrot in stone fruit for both preharvest and postharvest applications. However, no ...
Labeling of Monilinia fructicola with GFP and Its Validation for Studies on Host-Pathogen Interactions in Stone and Pome Fruit
(MDPI, 2019-12-11)
To compare in vivo the infection process of Monilinia fructicola on nectarines and apples
using confocal microscopy it is necessary to transform a pathogenic strain with a construct expressing
a ...
Biocontrol potential of Ampelomyces quisqualis strain CPA-9 against powdery mildew: Conidia production in liquid medium and efficacy on zucchini leaves
(Elsevier, 2020-03-13)
Ampelomyces quisqualis has been reported to be a promising biocontrol agent (BCA) against powdery mildew, and it has been commercialised as AQ10 Biofungicide®. However, isolated strains showed inconsistent ...
Ethylene biosynthesis and response factors are differentially modulated during the interaction of peach petals with Monilinia laxa or Monilinia fructicola
(Elsevier, 2020-07-13)
Monilinia spp. may infect stone fruit at any growth stage, although susceptibility to brown rot depends on both host properties and climatological conditions. This said, no studies deciphering the host ...
