Inhibition of Penicillium expansum by an oxidative treatment
Several oxidizing compounds such as sodium hypochlorite (NaClO) and hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) are used to control postharvest decay in fresh fruit due to their antimicrobial effects. Here, we applied these compounds in vitro, in the presence of CuSO(4), against Penicillium expansum, causal agent of apple blue mold. MICs were 50 mg L(-1) and 400 mmol

Patulin accumulation in apples during storage by Penicillium expansum and Penicillium griseofulvum strains [PDF]
A part of apples destined to juice production is generally of poor quality. Apples from cold storage or recently harvest (ground harvested or low quality apples) are stored under ambient conditions until they are processed. Since Penicillium expansum and P.

Identification and characterization of LysM effectors in Penicillium expansum
P. expansum is regarded as one of the most important postharvest rots of apple fruit and is also of great concern to fruit processing industries. Elucidating the pathogenicity mechanism of this pathogen is of utmost importance for the development of effective and safe management strategies. Although, many studies on modification of the host environment
