Composition of phenolic compounds in wild apple with multiple resistance mechanisms against postharvest blue mold decay

blue mold (penicillium expansum) decay resistance in apple cultivars, and its association with fruit physicochemical traits

relative resistance of 43 iranian as well as introduced apple cultivars to blue mold (penicillium expansum) was studied within years 2010-2011. the fruit physicochemical traits were also evaluated as measures of potential resistance to decay. local p. expansum strains were isolated from decayed apple fruits and the most aggressive isolate (5,000 spores ml-1) used as inoculum. fruits were wound-...

Phenolic Compounds in Apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.): Compounds Characterization and Stability during Postharvest and after Processing

This paper summarizes the information on the occurrence of phenolic compounds in apple (Malus x domestica Borkh.) fruit and juice, with special reference to their health related properties. As phytochemical molecules belonging to polyphenols are numerous, we will focus on the main apples phenolic compounds with special reference to changes induced by apple cultivar, breeding approaches, fruit p...

Profiling of Phenolic Compounds from Different Apple

Biocontrol Potential of Metchnikowia pulcherrima Strains Against Blue Mold of Apple.

ABSTRACT Eight strains of Metschnikowia pulcherrima isolated over a 4-year period from an unmanaged orchard and selected for their biocontrol activity against blue mold (caused by Penicillium expansum) of apples were characterized phenotypically, genetically, and for their biocontrol potential against blue mold on apples. All strains grew well and only differed slightly in their growth in nutri...

Characterization of biocontrol activity of two yeast strains from Uruguay against blue mold of apple

In the present study, two yeast antagonists, Cryptococcus laurentii (strain 317) and Candida ciferrii (strain 283) isolated from the surface of healthy apples, controlled blue mold of apple caused by Penicillium expansum. Both antagonists reduced the incidence of blue mold by 80% at 25 °C. At 5 °C C. ciferrii (strain 283) maintained the efficacy of disease control, but C. laurentii (strain 317)...
