Draft Genome Sequence of Penicillium expansum Strain R19, Which Causes Postharvest Decay of Apple Fruit
نویسندگان
چکیده
Among the species that cause blue mold, isolates of Penicillium expansum are the most prevalent and virulent species, causing more than 50 percent of postharvest decay. We report the draft genome sequence of P. expansum R19 in order to identify fungal virulence factors and to understand the mechanism of infection.

Blue mold is the vernacular name of a common postharvest disease of stored apples, pears, and quince that is caused by several common species of Penicillium This study reports the draft genome sequence of Penicillium expansum strain R21, which was isolated from a red delicious apple in 2011 in Pennsylvania.
متن کاملGenome Sequence of Penicillium solitum RS1, Which Causes Postharvest Apple Decay
Penicillium species cause postharvest decay, commonly known as blue mold, in pome fruits, such as apples and pears. To devise novel strategies to prevent and reduce economic losses during storage, the genome sequence of Penicillium solitum RS1 is reported here for the first time.
متن کاملPurification and biochemical characterization of polygalacturonase produced by penicillium expansum during postharvest decay of 'Anjou' pear.
A polygalacturonase (PG) was extracted and purified from decayed tissue of 'Anjou' pear fruit inoculated with Penicillium expansum. Ammonium sulfate precipitation, gel filtration, and cation exchange chromatography were used to purify the enzyme. Both chromatographic methods revealed a single peak corresponding to PG activity. PG enzyme activity from healthy and wounded pear tissue was undetect...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of the Fungus Penicillium solitum NJ1
Penicillium solitum is one of the most prevalent species causing postharvest decay of pomaceous fruits during storage. Here, we report the draft genome of P. solitum strain NJ1, received as a transfer of a strain originally identified as P. griseofulvum by classical means.

At harvest, apple fruit are placed into wooden or plastic bins (approximately 400 kg of fruit per bin), which are then transported to storage and packing facilities. Prior to storage, fruit may be drenched with a fungicide to control postharvest diseases (10). Fruit are stored in the bins in either regular atmosphere (RA) or controlled atmosphere (CA) (1 to 2% O2 and 0.5% CO2) at –1 to 3°C (9)....
