Article Synopsis
  • Winterberry holly is a popular ornamental plant used in landscaping and decorations, but it faces a serious threat from a fungal disease that can lead to complete crop loss.
  • A study investigated the chemical changes in winterberry fruit during maturation to understand potential natural disease resistance while the fruit is still immature.
  • The research identified 100 key compounds with varying levels of abundance throughout the maturation process, which could help inform future breeding, chemical management, and antifungal development strategies.

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.
