Molecular aspects in pathogen-fruit interactions: Virulence and resistance

Reads0

TLDR
This review presents the current knowledge of molecular aspects in pathogen-fruit interactions, addressing the following topics: the application of new “omics” technologies for studying these interactions; the molecular mechanisms of fungal pathogen attack; the regulation of virulence by exogenous factors; and, finally, fruit defense mechanisms.

Capsicum-Colletotrichum interaction: Identification of resistance sources and quantification of secondary metabolites in unripe and ripe fruits in response to anthracnose infection

TL;DR: Interestingly, high concentrations of caffeic and chlorogenic acid were quantified in unripe and ripe fruits characterized as resistant genotype, showing that these biochemical compounds are putatively involved in fruit defense mechanism in response to anthracnose disease.

Developing a methodology for identifying brown rot resistance in stone fruit

TL;DR: The results show that disinfection of fruit prior to inoculation had an effect on the infection process, and the developed methodology could be applied to resistance screening in breeding programmes, as well as studying the genetic basis of brown rot resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

An insight on the ethylene biosynthetic pathway of two major fruit postharvest pathogens with different host specificity: Penicillium digitatum and Penicillium expansum

TL;DR: In both pathogens, ethylene production seemed to be synchronized with certain stages of fungal growth rather than conidiation, suggesting a putative role of this hormone in fungal metabolism.

Application and mechanism of benzyl-isothiocyanate, a natural antimicrobial agent from cruciferous vegetables, in controlling postharvest decay of strawberry

TL;DR: Wang et al. as mentioned in this paper found that benzyl-isothiocyanate (BITC), a natural compound widely existing in cruciferous vegetables with anti-cancer effect, was effective in controlling postharvest gray mold of strawberry fruit and also strongly inhibited the natural decay of strawberry.

Inhibition efficacy of Tetradium glabrifolium fruit essential oil against Phytophthora capsici and potential mechanism

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as mentioned in this paper investigated the inhibitory efficacy of Tetradium glabrifolium fruit essential oil (TFO) against P. capsici and found TFO strongly inhibited the development of phytophthora blight on pepper by in vivo inoculation assay.

NOX enzymes and the biology of reactive oxygen

TL;DR: Professional phagocytes generate high levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) using a superoxide-generating NADPH oxidase as part of their armoury of microbicidal mechanisms, leading to the concept that ROS are 'intentionally' generated in these cells with distinctive cellular functions related to innate immunity, signal transduction and modification of the extracellular matrix.

Significance of Inducible Defense-related Proteins in Infected Plants

TL;DR: The evolutionary conservation of similar defense-related proteins in monocots and dicots, but also their divergent occurrence in other conditions, suggest that these proteins serve essential functions in plant life, whether in defense or not.

The genome of the domesticated apple ( Malus × domestica Borkh.)

TL;DR: It is shown that a relatively recent (>50 million years ago) genome-wide duplication has resulted in the transition from nine ancestral chromosomes to 17 chromosomes in the Pyreae, which partly support the monophyly of the ancestral paleohexaploidy of eudicots.

Reactive Oxygen Species Signaling in Response to Pathogens

TL;DR: The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), via consumption of oxygen in a so-called oxidative burst, is one of the earliest cellular responses following successful pathogen recognition.
