Identification of Biomarkers Associated with Tolerance.

Citrus black spot (CBS) is a fungal disease caused by Kiely, (McAlpine Van der Aa), with most cultivars being susceptible to infection. Currently, disease control is based on the application of protective fungicides, which is restricted due to resistance, health and environmental concerns. Although using natural products for disease management is gaining momentum, more advances are required.

Investigation into the role of phenolic compounds in the protection of citrus against Phyllosticta citricarpa.

Introduction: The use of chemical fungicides to combat disease has made a substantial contribution to food quality and security. Nonetheless, their applications have been limited due to environmental and health concerns, unaffordability, and the fact that pathogens have acquired resistance to some of these fungicides. Alternative eco-friendly and safe control methods should be explored.

The Effects of Postharvest Treatments and Sunlight Exposure on the Reproductive Capability and Viability of in Citrus Black Spot Fruit Lesions.

Citrus black spot (CBS) is caused by , which is classified as a quarantine organism in certain countries whose concerns are that CBS-infected fruit may be a pathway for introduction of the pathogen. This study evaluated the reproductive capability and viability of . under simulated conditions in which the whole fruit, peel segments, or citrus pulp with CBS lesions were discarded.
