Molecular aspects in pathogen-fruit interactions: Virulence and resistance

Reads0
Chats0
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.

Antimicrobial peptide CB-M exhibits direct antifungal activity against Botrytis cinerea and induces disease resistance to gray mold in cherry tomato fruit

TL;DR: In this paper , the antifungal activity of antimicrobial peptide CB-M against B. cinerea and its mechanism of action, as well as the ability of CB-m to induce disease resistance in cherry tomato fruit, were investigated.

Fungal pathogens in pome fruit orchards and causal agents of postharvest decay

TL;DR: This thesis concluded that dead flower buds of pear in the Netherlands should be regarded as a fungal disease caused by A. alternata SC and potentially also A. arborescens SC which may be controlled by specific fungicide applications.

Bacillus amyloliquefaciens M73 reduces postharvest decay and promotes anthocyanin accumulation in Tarocco blood orange (Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck) during cold storage

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens M73 on preservation and especially the anthocyanin accumulation in Tarocco blood orange (Citrus sinensis (L.) Osbeck) during cold storage at 4 °C were investigated.

A Combined Analysis of Transcriptome and Proteome Reveals the Inhibitory Mechanism of a Novel Oligosaccharide Ester against Penicillium italicum

TL;DR: Investigation of the inhibitory effect of a novel oligosaccharide ester against blue mold demonstrated that MTE-1 inhibited P. italicum by damaging cell walls and membranes and disrupting normal cellular metabolism and provides a new natural strategy for controlling diseases in postharvest fruit.

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.

- 01 Oct 2010 - 
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.
