Penicillium digitatum, the cause of citrus green mould, is an important postharvest pathogen which causes serious losses annually. The disease is currently managed with synthetic fungicides.

Abstract The biochemical changes induced by LED Blue Light (LBL) (450 nm) in Lane Late oranges were investigated. selected quantum flux (60 µmol m?2 s?1, 2 days) was associated with resistance against Penicillium digitatum, the main postharvest pathogen of citrus fruit. A holistic overview obtained a comparative transcriptome profile analysis, which revealed that LBL favored energy metabolism a...
