Apple Endophytic fungi and their antagonism against apple scab disease. [PDF]
Endophytic fungi are microorganisms with the ability to colonize plants for the entire or at least a significant part of their life cycle asymptomatically, establishing a plant-fungus association. They play an important role in balancing ecosystems, as well as benefiting host through increasing plant growth, and protecting the host plants from abiotic ...

Formulated hydroxy fatty acids from fruit pomaces reduce apple scab development caused by Venturia inaequalis through a dual mode of action [PDF]
The outermost hydrophobic layer of plants, i.e. the cuticle, is mainly composed of cutin, a polyester of hydroxy fatty acids with reported eliciting and/or antimicrobial activities for some of them.

Vr 2: a new apple scab resistance gene [PDF]
Reports from several European countries of the breakdown of the Vf resistance, the most frequently used source of resistance in breeding programs against apple scab, emphasize the urgency of diversifying the basis of apple scab resistance and pyramiding ...

Sensory quality of scab-resistant apple cultivars [PDF]
Twenty-two scab-resistant apple cultivars were harvested in autumn 1999 and evaluated for sensory quality the following October, November and December. Multivariate analysis was effective in describing the comblex relationships and variabillity among the

Selection and orchard testing of antagonists suppressing conidia production of the apple scab pathogen Venturia inaequalis [PDF]
Apple scab caused by Venturia inaequalis is a major disease in apple production. Epidemics in spring are initiated by ascospores produced on overwintering leaves whereas epidemics during summer are driven by conidia produced on apple leaves by biotrophic

Impact of Post-Harvest Apple Scab on Peel Microbiota, Fermentation Dynamics, and the Volatile/Non-Volatile Composition of Cider [PDF]
Apple scab is a disease caused by Venturia inaequalis; it alters the vegetative cycle of apple trees and affects the fruits in orchards or during post-harvest storage.

Enhanced scab resistance in apple conferred by Rvi6 and polyploidy is linked with distinct shifts in the phenolics profile [PDF]
Apple (Malus × domestica Borkh.) production is threatened by scab, caused by the fungus Venturia inaequalis. One defense mechanism of apple trees against fungal pathogens such as V. inaequalis is the biosynthesis of antifungal compounds.

Phenotyping data coupled with RNA sequencing of apple genotypes exhibiting contrasted quantitative trait loci architecture for apple scab (Venturia inaequalis) resistance [PDF]
Previous studies have highlighted the role of three quantitative trait loci (QTL, i.e. ‘qT1’, ‘qF11’ and ‘qF17’) in partial resistance to apple scab. Underlying molecular mechanisms of these loci are yet unknown.

Primary scab control using a "during-infection" spray timing and the effect on fruit quality and yield in organic apple production [PDF]
Organic apple production in Europe depends to a great extent on the use of copper fungicides for scab control (Venturia inaequalis). The objective of this 6-year study (2003-2008) conducted in Belgium was to determine measures for reducing the use of ...

Prevention and control of apple scab [PDF]
Improved prevention and control of apple scab caused by Venturia inaequalis is aimed at without the use of copper containing products in the Repco-project. Substantial progress is made in selection of potential products against summer epidemics. A patent
