Other claims from this paper (7)
- 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 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.
- Mechanism The authors conclude that upregulation of genes related to cryptochrome inhibition, defence response and caffeic acid metabolism in apples under BLL, together with reduced P. expansum virulence, contributes to inhibition of fungal growth.
