Double-sided battle: The role of ethylene during Monilinia spp. infection in peach at different phenological stages
(Elsevier, 2019-10-02)
Controversy exists on whether ethylene is involved in determining fruit resistance or susceptibility against biotic stress. In this work, the hypothesis that ethylene biosynthesis in peaches at different ...
Shelf life improvement of the biocontrol agent Candida sake CPA-1 by suitable package and storage conditions
(Springer, 2019-06-28)
Agrochemical companies are increasing their interest in the production of biopesticides based on biocontrol agents (BCAs), mainly due to the need to reduce the synthetic fungicide application and the ...
Rhizosphere microorganisms enhance in vitro root and plantlet development of Pyrus and Prunus rootstocks
(Springer, 2021-03-14)
The rooting of fruit tree rootstocks is the most challenging step of the in vitro propagation process.
The use of rhizosphere microorganisms to promote in vitro rooting and plant growth as an alternative ...
Differential contribution of the two major polygalacturonases from Penicillium digitatum to virulence towards citrus fruit
(Elsevier, 2018-05-31)
The fungus Penicillium digitatum is the causal agent of the citrus green mould, the major postharvest diseases of citrus fruit. Lesions on the surface of infected fruits first appear as soft areas around ...
PbSRT1 and PbSRT2 regulate pear growth and ripening yet displaying a species-specific regulation in comparison to other Rosaceae spp.
(Elsevier, 2021-05-01)
Epigenetic regulation is crucial to ensure a coordinated control of the different events that occur during fruit development and ripening. Sirtuins are NAD+-dependent histone deacetylases involved in ...
Biocontrol efficacy of Meyerozyma guilliermondii LMA-Cp01 against post-harvest pathogens of fruits
(Taylor and Francis Group, 2023-09-01)
This work aimed to broaden the spectrum biocontrol activity of Meyerozyma guilliermondii LMA-Cp01. Inhibition of postharvest pathogens, viz., Alternaria alternata, Penicillium italicum, P. digitatum, ...
Dehydration of Ampelomyces quisqualis CPA-9 conidia by adding biodegradable coatings: Biocontrol activity against powdery mildew and physical characterization of the formulated product
(Elsevier, 2021-07-07)
Ampelomyces quisqualis CPA-9 was reported as a promising biocontrol fungus against powdery mildew on cucurbits, although its formulation had not been developed. The present work aimed to develop a ...
Scrutinising the relationship between major physiological and compositional changes during ‘Merrill O’Henry’ peach growth with brown rot susceptibility
(SAGE Publications, 2020-09-22)
In the present work, the major physiological and compositional changes occurring during 'Merrill O'Henry' peach growth and its relationship with susceptibility to three strains of Monilinia spp. at 49, ...
Field validation of biocontrol strategies to control brown rot on stone fruit in several European countries
(Wiley, 2021-01-14)
BACKGROUND: Brown rot caused by Monilinia spp. is the most signicant disease of stone fruit. New approaches to fruit production have necessitated the development of control strategies that are more ...
