Understanding Environmental and Physiological Factors Affecting the Biology of , the Fungus Causing Latent Fruit Rot in Winterberry.

Fruit rot in winterberry is associated with a complex of fungal pathogens. Among them, plays a unique role by infecting flowers at bloom, resulting in symptom development in mature fruit. This research aimed to identify at what stage of maturation fruit can develop disease symptoms and correlate changes in fruit physiology (sugar and phenolic content) and environment (temperature and light intensity) with disease incidence.
