Fruit losses during postharvest storage and handling due to pathogen infections are one of
the major problems in the global food chain supply. The application of chemical fungicides …

Aims The goal of this study was to identify the induced resistance pathway mediated by
biochar in the tomato–Botrytis cinerea pathosystem. Methods Tomato wild types and …

The effects of two algal saccharides, ulvan and oligoulvans (average degree of
polymerization= 2), on defense-related responses and decay development in apple fruit …

The aim of our study was to investigate the effect of drop shock on physiological responses
and genes expression in harvested apple fruit stored at 20±2° C. Ethylene production …

Fresh fruits and vegetables, particularly berries, are highly susceptible to mechanical
damage, which results in nutrient loss, reduced quality, and increased decay from microbial …

The present study aimed to investigate the inhibition of in-package aerosolized aqueous
antimicrobials against postharvest black mold caused by Aspergillus niger (A. niger) on …

A new yeast antagonist, Pichia caribbica, isolated in our laboratory from the soil collected
from unsprayed orchards, was evaluated for its biocontrol capability against Rhizopus …

Penicillium expansum is the main postharvest pathogen of pome fruit and is a necrotrophic
fungus that requires wounds to infect the fruit. Therefore, injuries caused during harvest and …

Apple fruits are rich in phenolic compounds that may enhance resistance to grey mould
disease caused by Botrytis cinerea. Using Malus domestica Borkh. cultivars Fuji and …

Grey mould is one of the most determinative factors of lily growth and plays a major role in
limiting lily productivity. MicroRNA159 (miR159) is a highly conserved microRNA in plants …
