Inhibitory effects of methyl thujate on mycelial growth of Botrytis cinerea and possible mechanisms
TL;DR: Methyl thujate, a monoterpenoid substance, was effective in controlling postharvest gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea on apple fruit, during application in aqueous solution.

Production, Signaling, and Scavenging Mechanisms of Reactive Oxygen Species in Fruit-Pathogen Interactions.
TL;DR: The role of ROS in fruit defense reactions against pathogens and in fungi pathogenicity during fruit–pathogen interaction is examined and the scavenging systems determining ROS homeostasis are focused on.

Identification and functional analysis of Penicillium digitatum genes putatively involved in virulence towards citrus fruit.
TL;DR: A polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based suppression subtractive hybridization and cDNA macroarray hybridization approach is followed, providing a significant advance in the understanding of the putative determinants of the virulence mechanisms of P. digitatum.

Increasing maturity reduces wound response and lignification processes against Penicillium expansum (pathogen) and Penicillium digitatum (non-host pathogen) infection in apples
TL;DR: It is indicated that maturity and storage temperature play an important role in apple wound response and this is the first report demonstrating that P. digitatum, a non-host pathogen, was able to develop rots in over-mature apples.

Mechanism of antifungal action of borate against Colletotrichum gloeosporioides related to mitochondrial degradation in spores
TL;DR: Results suggest that mitochondrial degradation is involved in the mechanism of antifungal activity of borate against C. gloeosporioides and seems to induce reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation in the fungal spores.

Aquaporin8 regulates cellular development and reactive oxygen species production, a critical component of virulence in Botrytis cinerea
TL;DR: Aquaporins were demonstrated to be an intrinsic plasma membrane protein, which may function as a channel and mediate hydrogen peroxide uptake, and the important role of AQP8 in the development and pathogenesis of plant pathogens was understood.

TL;DR: It is concluded that chitinase and β-1,3-glucanase induction are part of the tomato fruit defense mechanism against A. alternata infection with a different behavior depending upon stage of development and variety.
