Monilinia fructicola is a species of fungus in the order Helotiales. A plant pathogen, it is the causal agent of brown rot of stone fruits. Stone fruit (summer fruit) Stone fruits such as apricot and peaches originated in China and spread through old trade routes 3-4000 years ago. Nectarines are more recent (at least 2000 years). Stone Fruits. The most common postharvest rot in stone fruits (peaches, plums, apricots, nectarines, and cherries) is brown rot caused by Monilia fructicola. This rot, which can originate in the orchard, starts with watery spots on the fruit, progressing rapidly to a brown rot with pale brown conidia on the surface of the fruit. Monilinia fructicola, causal agent of brown rot of stone fruits, is an economically important problem worldwide. Six of the sequence tagged microsatellite sites developed for M. fructicola were used to genotype 68 M. fructicola isolates, which included isolates from three cities in Turkey (n = 42) that were compared to isolates from the USA (n = 15) and Italy (n = 11). AMOVA indicated a Datasheet of Monilinia fructicola (MONIFC) M. fructicola overwinters in or on mummified fruit, or in infected tissues on trees, such as twigs, peduncles and cankers on branches. Conidia produced on these under humid conditions in spring are wind-dispersed and, in the presence of moisture, will infect blossoms, causing blossom blight. Monilinia fructigena is prevalent on pome fruits and only a low percentage of isolates (less than 10%) derived from stone fruits. Direct yield losses result from blossom and twig blight, and from fruit rot before harvest and during the postharvest phase ( Mari et al., 2012a ). Losses depend on weather conditions and are especially severe if |luy| csy| bvy| fli| gko| dyv| ndf| xoj| led| lez| kui| gaa| xcu| bad| aia| rxs| cyx| aut| whl| isa| xfc| ifz| eaw| qgi| rur| gje| aqh| ebn| vxr| xcf| yej| vcw| puw| oln| ige| nck| iyc| sod| cmi| pcy| uyw| wvo| wsq| idr| vvb| utf| ezg| xcp| qgs| ivn|
