Differences in Behavior During Early Nectarine Infection Among Main spp. Causing Brown Rot.

Brown rot is a disease that affects stone and pome fruit crops worldwide. It is caused by fungal members of the genus , mainly , and . This study presents evidence that, despite having a very similar battery of Cell Wall Degrading Enzymes (CWDEs), the three species behave differently during the early stages of infection, suggesting differences at the regulatory level, which could also explain the differences in host preference among the three species.

Monilinia fructicola genes involved in the cell wall-degrading process in early nectarine infection.

Brown rot symptoms may be linked to alterations in the gene expression pattern of genes associated with cell wall degradation. In this study, we identify key carbohydrate-active enzymes (CAZymes) involved in cell wall degradation by Monilinia fructicola, including pme2 and pme3 (pectin methylesterases), cut1 (cutinase) and nep2 (necrosis-inducing factor). The expression of these genes is significantly modulated by red and blue light during early nectarine infection.

Polyhydroxyalkanoate production in Pseudomonas putida from alkanoic acids of varying lengths.

Many studies have been conducted to produce microbial polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA), a biopolymer, from Pseudomonas sp. fed with various alkanoic acids. Because this previous data was collected using methodologies that varied in critical aspects, such as culture media and size range of alkanoic acids, it has been difficult to compare the results for a thorough understanding of the relationship between feedstock and PHA production.

Polyhydroxybutyrate Rice Hull and Torrefied Rice Hull Biocomposites.

Raw and torrefied rice hulls (RRH and TRH) were incorporated into polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) as fillers using extrusion and injection molding to produce biomass-polymer composites. Filler and composite materials were characterized by particle size analysis, thermomechanical analysis, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, FTIR analysis, CHNSO analysis, and mechanical testing. Heat distortion temperature of the RRH composites were 16-22 °C higher than TRH composites.

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

Brown rot, caused by spp., is among the most important diseases in stone fruits, and some pome fruits (mainly apples). This disease is responsible for significant yield losses, particularly in stone fruits, when weather conditions favorable for disease development appear.

Epidemiological Studies of Brown Rot in Spanish Cherry Orchards in the Jerte Valley.

Cherry brown rot caused by was observed and estimated in organic cherry orchard located in the Jerte Valley between 2013 and 2018 (Cáceres, Spain). Climatic variables were collected from this orchard and also from a nearby weather station. The primary inoculum of the pathogen recorded in March was detected in overwintered mummified fruits, ground mummies, and necrotic twigs and was a function of the average temperature of the previous three months (December, January, and February).
