Identification and Biosynthesis of DHN-melanin Related Pigments in the Pathogenic Fungi Monilinia laxa, M. fructicola, and M. fructigena
(MDPI, 2023-01-19)
Monilinia is the causal agent of brown rot in stone fruit. The three main species that
cause this disease are Monilinia laxa, M. fructicola, and M. fructigena, and their infection capacity is
influenced ...
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. ...
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 ...
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 ...
Optimization of a food industry-waste-based medium for the production of the plant growth promoting microorganism Pseudomonas oryzihabitans PGP01 based on agro-food industries by-products
(Elsevier, 2021-09-16)
In this study, three wastes based on potato peels and pulps, tomato seeds and wheat bran were used as basis for the preparation of a cheap medium to produce the bacterium P. oryzihabitans PGP01. In ...
Depicting the battle between nectarine and Monilinia laxa: the fruit developmental stage dictates the effectiveness of the host defenses and the pathogen’s infection strategies
(Springer Nature, 2020-10-01)
Infections by the fungus Monilinia laxa, the main cause of brown rot in Europe, result in considerable losses of stone
fruit. Herein, we present a comprehensive transcriptomic approach to unravel ...
Insight into a Successful Development of Biocontrol Agents: Production, Formulation, Packaging, and Shelf Life as Key Aspects
(MDPI, 2022-04-04)
Biocontrol agents (BCAs) have been proposed and studied over recent decades as a suita‐ ble alternative to diminish or substitute synthetic fungicides used to control pre‐ and postharvest diseases. ...
Light Intensity Alters the Behavior of Monilinia spp. in vitro and the Disease Development on Stone Fruit-Pathogen Interaction
(Frontiers Media, 2021-09-08)
The development of brown rot caused by the necrotrophic fungi Monilinia spp. in stone fruit under field and postharvest conditions depends, among others, on environmental factors. The effect of temperature ...
Comparative Genomics Used to Predict Virulence Factors and Metabolic Genes among Monilinia Species
(MDPI, 2021-06-08)
Brown rot, caused by Monilinia spp., is among the most important diseases in stonefruits, and some pome fruits (mainly apples). This disease is responsible for significant yield losses,particularly in ...
Deciphering the Effect of Light Wavelengths in Monilinia spp. DHN-Melanin Production and Their Interplay with ROS Metabolism in M. fructicola
(MDPI, 2023-06-10)
Pathogenic fungi are influenced by many biotic and abiotic factors. Among them, light is a
source of information for fungi and also a stress factor that triggers multiple biological responses,
including ...
