Activity of Fungicides Against Monilinia vaccinii-corymbosi in Blueberry Flowers Treated at Different Phenological Stages

Host Resistance to Monilinia vaccinii-corymbosi in Flowers and Fruits of Highbush Blueberry

Variation and Heritability of Phenology in the Fungus Monilinia vaccinii-corymbosi on Blueberry.

ABSTRACT The germination of field-collected pseudosclerotia and the development of apothecia from eight New Jersey populations of the mummy berry fungus Monilinia vaccinii-corymbosi were evaluated under controlled conditions in the greenhouse. Development data for apothecia were used to describe the timing of apothecium formation and to estimate broad- and narrow-sense heritabilities of fungal ...

Phenology of Apothecium Production in Populations of Monilinia vaccinii-corymbosi from Early- and Late-Maturing Blueberry Cultivars.

ABSTRACT Pseudosclerotia were evaluated for differences in timing of apothecium development in four controlled experiments conducted over a 2-year period. In a separate experiment, conidia from 10 randomly selected isolates from both of the fungal populations were used to inoculate open flowers. Germination of pseudosclerotia produced from these artificial inoculations also was evaluated. The t...

Sequential Sampling to Assess the Incidence of Infection by Monilinia vaccinii-corymbosi in Mechanically Harvested Rabbiteye Blueberry Fruit.

ABSTRACT Blueberry fruit infected by Monilinia vaccinii-corymbosi, the causal agent of mummy berry disease, are unsuitable for use in processed food products. Fruit shipments that exceed a disease incidence threshold of 0.5% are redirected to alternative markets with substantial reductions in economic return to the producer. Because of this low tolerance, a sampling procedure with defined stati...

Inhibitory effect of Physalis alkekengi extracts in different phenological stages on xanthine oxidase activity

Introduction: Physalis alkekengi (Solanaceae) is a rich source of various antioxidants. There are some reports that show P. alkekengi has been used for treatment of a wide range of diseases including gout and inflammation. Xanthine oxidase plays a crucial role in gout. Many natural compounds such as various flavonoids have been reported to have inhibitory effect on xanthine oxidase. Metho...
