- Observation Transcriptome analysis showed the most pronounced responses among biological processes in inoculated apples under blue LED light.
- Observation Upregulated processes in apples included water transport, response to heat and response to high light intensity.
- Observation The defence response of apples was enhanced by upregulation of thaumatin-like proteins and caffeic acid 3-O-methyltransferase.
- Observation Cellular response to phosphate deficiency and regulation of multicellular organism development were downregulated in apples.
- Observation In P. expansum grown on apples under BLL, genes related to signalling, response to organic compounds and regulation of metabolic and biosynthetic processes were downregulated.
- Observation In P. expansum grown on apples under BLL, genes involved in biosynthesis of secondary metabolites were upregulated.
- Observation Expression of patulin cluster genes was predominantly downregulated in P. expansum.
