Influence of light on the Monilinia laxa-stone fruit interaction

Silvia Rodriguez-Pires et al.

Summary: Light plays an active role in the development of brown rot caused by Monilinia laxa, with white light and high light intensity leading to increased disease severity. Different light conditions significantly influenced the disease outcomes on cherries and nectarines, indicating the light responsiveness of the fungal pathogen.

Transcription factor control of virulence in phytopathogenic fungi

Evan John et al.

Summary: This review highlights the importance of transcription factors as regulatory elements in plant-pathogenic fungi, providing a systematic overview of functionally characterized regulators. The study emphasizes the significance of understanding the mechanisms by which these regulators contribute to identifying new virulence factors, improving our understanding of pathogen evolution, and disease control.

Effects of Light on the Ochratoxigenic Fungi Aspergillus ochraceus and A. carbonarius

Haiyong Zhang et al.

Summary: The research found that UV-B light significantly inhibited fungal growth, while blue and violet light effectively inhibited the production of OTA. These results suggest that light could be used as a potential target for strategies in the prevention and control of ochratoxigenic fungi.

Deciphering the Monilinia fructicola Genome to Discover Effector Genes Possibly Involved in Virulence

Laura Vilanova et al.

Summary: This study aimed to generate a high-quality genome of M. fructicola and to identify genes that may contribute to pathogen virulence. Using PacBio sequencing technology, the genome of M. fructicola was assembled, resulting in 10,086 trustworthy gene models. A set of 134 putative effectors was defined, with some triggering necrotic lesions when transiently expressed in Nicotiana benthamiana plants. This research will help better understand the interaction between M. fructicola and stone fruit host plants.

Light Intensity Alters the Behavior of Monilinia spp. in vitro and the Disease Development on Stone Fruit-Pathogen Interaction

Marta Balsells-Llaurado et al.

Summary: This study investigated the effects of lighting conditions on the behavior of Monilinia spp. in causing brown rot in stone fruit under field and postharvest conditions. The results showed that lighting treatments significantly influenced colony morphology, conidiation, and infection capacity of the fungi, as well as the disease progression and ethylene production in the fruit. These findings suggest that modulating the lighting environment could be a potential strategy to minimize brown rot development and extend the shelf-life of stone fruit.

Comparative Genomics Used to Predict Virulence Factors and Metabolic Genes among Monilinia Species

Marina Marcet-Houben et al.

Summary: Brown rot, caused by Monilinia spp., is a significant disease in stone fruits and apples. Future sustainable strategies to control this disease may involve studying genomic variation among Monilinia spp. Comparative genomic analyses provide insights into the differences that underlie interactions with host plants.
