Ultrastructure observation and transcriptome analysis of Penicillium expansum invasion in postharvest pears

TL;DR: A piece of new information is provided with regards to the infection mechanisms of P. expansum on pears, which could be useful in understanding the phenomenon of pathogen -host -fruit interaction and the development of new measures for the control of fungal diseases.

Securing fruit production: Opportunities from the elucidation of the molecular mechanisms of postharvest fungal infections.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented the molecular mechanisms by which pathogenic mold infects fruit in the postharvest phase, and focused on the knowledge gained from recent molecular techniques such as differential analysis of gene expression, targeted insertion, and mutagenesis.

2-Phenylethyl Isothiocyanate Exerts Antifungal Activity against Alternaria alternata by Affecting Membrane Integrity and Mycotoxin Production

TL;DR: Data suggest that the mechanisms underlying the antifungal effect of 2-PEITC against A. alternata might be via reduction in toxin content and breakdown of cell membrane integrity.

Influence of fruit stalk on reactive oxygen species metabolism and quality maintenance of peach fruit under chilling injury condition

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of fruit stalk retention on fruit quality and reactive oxygen species (ROS) metabolism of white-fleshed peach (cv. Okubo) was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anthocyanins contribute to fruit defense against postharvest green mold

TL;DR: Analysis of transcriptome analysis showed that a lot of genes probably participated in plant–pathogen interaction and anthocyanin biosynthesis were noticeably up-regulated in ‘Tarocco’ orange upon Pd infection, providing significant insights into the control of citrus postharvest green mold.

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.

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.
