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 of wild apple germplasm (Malus spp.) accessions with resistance to the postharvest decay pathogens Penicillium expansum and Colletotrichum acutatum

TL;DR: Resistance reactions were skewed toward susceptibility for both fungi and comprised the majority of accessions examined, however, resistance to P. expansum was confirmed in select accessions over multiple years.

Ammonia activates pacC and patulin accumulation in an acidic environment during apple colonization by Penicillium expansum.

TL;DR: Ammonia induced patulin accumulation concurrently with the transcript activation of pacC and patulin biosynthesis cluster genes, indicating the regulatory effect of ammonia on pacC transcript expression under acidic conditions.

In Situ Localization of AOS in Host-Pathogen Interactions

TL;DR: As the role of AOS seems to vary with the life strategy of a pathogen, the interactions of a necrotrophic and of a biotrophic pathogen with their respective hosts are investigated.

Different Reactive Oxygen Species Scavenging Properties of Flavonoids Determine Their Abilities to Extend the Shelf Life of Tomato.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the shelf life of tomato fruit that accumulate different flavonoids and found that delayed overripening is associated with increased total antioxidant capacity caused by the accumulation of flavonoid in the fruit.

A Penicillium expansum Glucose Oxidase–Encoding Gene, GOX2, Is Essential for Gluconic Acid Production and Acidification During Colonization of Deciduous Fruit

TL;DR: P pH modulation, mediated by GLA accumulation, is an important factor in generating the initial signal or signals for fungal development leading to host-tissue colonization by P. expansum.
