Anthracnose development by Colletotrichum musae was observed to be significantly less in the fruits of the banana cultivar 'Embul' (Mysore, AAB) infected with Phyllosticta musarum than in fruits without such infections. Anthracnose disease originates from quiescent C. musae infections in the immature fruit. P. musarum incites minute, scattered spots, referred to as freckles, in the superficial tissues of immature banana peel which do not expand during maturation or ripening. P. musarum does not…

Characteristics of Colletotrichum musae PHBN0002 and the susceptibility of popular banana cultivars to postharvest anthracnose
TLDR
Evidence is provided for C. musae as a postharvest anthracnose pathogen of banana cv.
Pre-harvest chemical elicitor treatment enhances induced resistance in harvested banana fruit cv. ‘Embul’ and reduces anthracnose caused by Colletotrichum musae
TLDR
Developing banana fruits cv.v42i2 were treated in the field with chemical elicitors, Bion®, salicylic acid (SA) or K 2 HPO 4 at two stages, 2 and 4 or 9 and 11 weeks after bunch emergence, and the development of anthracnose was assessed during ripening.
Hexanal Vapor Induced Resistance against Major Postharvest Pathogens of Banana (Musa acuminata L.)
TLDR
Delayed ripening due to inhibition of phospholipase D enzyme, inhibition of mycelial growth and induced systemic resistance by defense enzymes collectively contributed to the postharvest disease reduction and extended shelf life of fruit.
Role of phospholipase C in banana in response to anthracnose infection
TLDR
PLC might play a role in fruit ripening in response to anthracnose resistance, and bananas in the experimental group showed higher activities than those in the control group.
The First Identified Citrus tristeza virus Isolate of Turkey Contains a Mixture of Mild and Severe Strains
TLDR
Results clearly demonstrated that the Iğdır isolate, which was previously described as biologically a mild isolate, actually contains a mixture of mild and severe strains.

Activation of systemic disease resistance in pea by an avirulent bacterium or a benzothiadiazole, but not by a fungal leaf spot pathogen
TLDR
Treatments effective in decreasing susceptibility to M. pinodes were similarly active against Uromyces viciae-fabae and virulent P. syringae pv.
Biocontrol activity and induced resistance as a possible mode of action for Aureobasidium pullulans against grey mould of strawberry fruit
TLDR
Enhanced natural disease resistance in green strawberry fruit contributed to grey mould rot suppression by A. pullulans, and Bioassays showed that skin tissue from green fruit treated with A.pullulans had greater antifungal activity than control tissue.
Incidence of Anthracnose in Relation to Chitinase, β-1, 3-Glucanase and Dopamine of Banana Fruits After Harvest
TLDR
The treatment with sporgon at a concentration of 1 mg/L suppressed both the development of anthracnose and the increases of chitinase and p-1, 3-glucanase activities, a fact suggesting that pathogenesis enhanced theactivities of the two enzymes.
Phytoalexin Induction as a Factor in the Protection of Capsicum annuum L. Fruits Against Infection by Botrytis cinerea Pers.
TLDR
Elicitor treatment of intact fruits to protect against rot development by B. cinerea was achieved without the fruits sustaining unsightly damage.

Changes in the Content and Biosynthesis of Phytoalexins in Banana Fruit
TLDR
Changes in the phytoalexin content in unripe fruit of banana, Musa acuminata, were analyzed after various treatments and revealed that 2-(4′-hydroxyphenyl)-1,8-naphthalic anhydride was biosynthesized from hydroxyanigorufone rather than from irenolone.
The role of plant defence proteins in fungal pathogenesis.
TLDR
It is becoming increasingly evident that a plant-pathogen interaction may be compared to an open warfare, whose major weapons are proteins synthesized by both organisms, and discovery of novel antifungal proteins and peptides continues at a rapid pace.
