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.

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.

QTL mapping for brown rot ( Monilinia fructigena ) resistance in an intraspecific peach ( Prunus persica L. Batsch) F1 progeny

TL;DR: Results suggest that in the C × EL F1 progeny, skin resistance to fungal penetration and flesh resistance to rot spread are distinguishable mechanisms constituting BR resistance trait, associated with different genomic regions.

Citrus phenylpropanoids and defence against pathogens. Part II: gene expression and metabolite accumulation in the response of fruits to Penicillium digitatum infection.

TL;DR: Metabolite accumulation levels along the time course suggest that flavanones, flavones, polymethoxylated flavones and scoparone are induced in citrus fruit in response to P. digitatum infection, although with different trends depending on the tissue.

The infection capacity of P. expansum and P. digitatum on apples and histochemical analysis of host response

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the maturity stage of fruit is an important factor in apple resistance to both P. expansum and P. digitatum and that lignin accumulation seems to play an important role when resistance is observed and this is the first report demonstrating that P.digitatum, a non-host pathogen, has a limited capacity to infect apples.

Unraveling the in vitro secretome of the phytopathogen Botrytis cinerea to understand the interaction with its hosts

TL;DR: An overview of the proteomics contribution to the study and knowledge of the B. cinerea extracellular secreted proteins is made based on current work carried out from in vitro experiments, and recent published papers both in vitro and in planta studies on this fungi.

Electrolyzed sodium bicarbonate inhibits Penicillium digitatum and induces defence responses against green mould in citrus fruit

TL;DR: In this article, the direct effect of electrolyzed sodium bicarbonate (eNaHCO3) on Penicillium digitatum and the ability to induce citrus defence mechanisms were investigated.
