The use of resistance inducers is a novel strategy to elicit defense responses in strawberry
fruit to protect against preharvest and postharvest decay. However, the mechanisms behind …

The application of a chitosan-based resistance inducer is regarded as a novel and effective
strategy to elicit a defense response in strawberry fruit to protect against oxidative stress …

For a first step integrating elicitor applications into the current IPM strategy increasing plant
resilience against pests, we investigated repeated elicitor treatments in a strawberry …

Benzothiadiazole (BTH) induces plant disease resistance and delays fruit ripening, but its
possible mechanism of action remains unclear. Therefore this study investigated the effects …

Postharvest strawberry is susceptible to gray mold disease caused by Botrytis cinerea,
which seriously damage the storage capacity of fruits. Biological control has been implicated …

Until a few years ago, many studies focused on the transcriptomic response to single
stresses. However, tomato cultivations are often constrained by a wide range of biotic and …

The induction of natural defense mechanisms in plants is considered to be one of the most
important strategies used in integrated pest management (IPM). Plant immune inducers …

Biotic stress is one of the key factors that restrict the growth and development of plants. Fruit
crops are mostly perennial, so they are more seriously endangered by biotic stress. Plant …

Abstract Background Bananas (Musa spp.) are the most important fruit crops worldwide due
to their high nutrition value. Fusarium wilt of banana, caused by fungal pathogen Fusarium …

Understanding the nature of pathogen host interaction may help improve strawberry
(Fragaria× ananassa) cultivars. Plant resistance to pathogenic agents usually operates …
