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

Control Efficacy of Salicylic Acid Microcapsules against Postharvest Blue Mold in Apple Fruit
TL;DR: In this article , Salicylic acid (SA) was encapsulated in β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) via the host-guest inclusion complexation method, and the efficacy of SA microcapsules (SAM) against blue mold caused by Penicillium expansum in postharvest apple fruit was elucidated.

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.

Acidification of apple and orange hosts by Penicillium digitatum and Penicillium expansum.
TL;DR: The ability of P. digitatum and P. expansum to enhance their virulence by locally modulating the pH of oranges and apples was evaluated, and it showed that this acid was not responsible for the pH decrease in decayed orange tissue.

Transcriptional profiling of apple fruit in response to heat treatment: Involvement of a defense response during Penicillium expansum infection
TL;DR: The results of this study indicate that the apple fruit respond to the heat treatment in a programmed manner and suggests that the genes responsible for thermotolerance may also be involved in the induced resistance response.
