Abstract Effects of Botrytis cinerea (B. cinerea) conidia infection on fruit defense resistance
and cuticular wax in blueberry fruit after harvesting were studied. Results showed that B …

Cuticular wax has been reported to play an essential role in resisting pathogens in various
fruits. This study investigated the antifungal ability of the components in blueberry cuticular …

Botrytis cinerea attacks a broad range of host causing significant economic losses in the
worldwide fruit export industry. Hitherto, many studies have focused on the penetration …

The blueberry fruit has a light-blue appearance because its blue-black skin is covered with a
waxy bloom. This layer is easily damaged or removed during fruit harvesting and …

The effects of postharvest melatonin (MT) treatment on cuticular wax and cell wall
metabolism in blueberry fruit (Vaccinium spp.) were evaluated. The results revealed that MT …

Cuticular wax plays an important role for the quality of blueberry fruits. In this study, the
cuticular wax composition of two blueberry cultivars,'Legacy'(Vaccinium corymbosum) and …

Background Blueberry is of high economic value. Most blueberry varieties selected for the
fresh market have an appealing light blue coating or “bloom” on the fruit due to the presence …

Fungal pathogens cause severe postharvest decay of fruit, while Botrytis cinerea is one of
the most notorious among these fungal pathogens. Consequently, a mechanistic dissection …

Gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea is a devastating postharvest disease, resulting in
severe fruit decay and enormous economic loss. Volatile secondary metabolites produced …

The chemical composition and morphology of cuticular wax in mature fruit of nine blueberry
cultivars were investigated using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) and …
