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.

Alternative management technologies for postharvest disease control: The journey from simplicity to complexity

TL;DR: The present review attempts to highlight how the search for alternative postharvest disease management technologies has been a journey from simplicity to complexity.

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.

Characterisation of H2O2 production to study compatible and non-host pathogen interactions in orange and apple fruit at different maturity stages.

TL;DR: Characterisation of H2O2production in orange and apple fruit in response to abiotic (wounding) and biotic (pathogen and non-host pathogen) stresses at different maturity stages and the effect of H 2O2 on the ecophysiology of P. digitatum and P. expansum was investigated.

Identification of differentially expressed genes in a resistant versus a susceptible blueberry cultivar after infection by Colletotrichum acutatum.

TL;DR: The elucidation of the basis of resistance to C. acutatum in blueberry will facilitate the development of new anthracnose fruit rot-resistant cultivars.

Wound response in orange as a resistance mechanism against Penicillium digitatum (pathogen) and P. expansum (non-host pathogen)

TL;DR: It is indicated that maturity and storage temperature play an important role in orange wound response and Penicillium digitatum exhibited lower decay incidence and severity as time between wounding and inoculation increased.

Characterization of two PR genes from Fragaria chiloensis in response to Botrytis cinerea infection: A comparison with Fragaria x ananassa

TL;DR: The objective of this work was to further characterize two genes isolated from the Chilean strawberry species which were previously reported as over expressed after Botrytis infection, suggesting these genes could be implicated in the pathogen response in a tissue specific manner.

Ethylene biosynthesis and related physiological changes in Penicillium digitatum-infected grapefruit (Citrus paradisi)

TL;DR: The early relatively low rate of ethylene production in infected fruit seems to originate mostly from the fruit tissue while a later and higher rate of Ethylene production originates mainly from the fungus.
