TLDR
In this article, the progress of research on the blue mold disease caused by P. expansum in apples, including physiological and molecular infection mechanisms, as well as various methods to control this common plant pathogen.Abstract:
One of the most significant challenges associated with postharvest apple deterioration is the blue mold caused by Penicillium expansum, which leads to considerable economic losses to apple production industries. Apple fruits are susceptible to mold infection owing to their high nutrient and water content, and current physical control methods can delay but cannot completely inhibit P. expansum growth. Biological control methods present promising alternatives; however, they are not always cost effective and have application restrictions. P. expansum infection not only enhances disease pathogenicity, but also inhibits the expression of host-related defense genes. The implementation of new ways to investigate and control P. expansum are expected with the advent of omics technology. Advances in these techniques, together with molecular biology approaches such as targeted gene deletion and whole genome sequencing, will lead to a better understanding of the P. expansum infectious machinery. Here, we review the progress of research on the blue mold disease caused by P. expansum in apples, including physiological and molecular infection mechanisms, as well as various methods to control this common plant pathogen.read more

Ferulic acid enhanced resistance against blue mold of Malus domestica by regulating reactive oxygen species and phenylpropanoid metabolism
TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated the induced resistance of ferulic acid against blue mold of apples (cv. Qiujin) as well as the mechanism involved in its action, and found that 1.0 g L−1 ferilic acid remarkably reduced lesion diameter of Penicillium expansum-inoculated apples and colony diameter in vitro.

TL;DR: A mathematical model allowing the estimation of the P. expansum growth rate according to temperature, a W, and pH, was developed and tested successfully and could be exploited by apple growers and the industrialists of fruit juices in order to predict the development of P. expandum during storage and apple processing.
