We studied the metabolomes of 'Queen Victoria' pineapples subjected to the fungi-induced fruitlet core rot (FCR) disease, a major quality issue in the pineapple industry. Analyses were carried out on the pulp and skin of individual fruitlets within healthy or black spotted infructescences, in order to profile three types of samples: healthy, infect...
In this study, 58 endophytic bacterial strains were isolated from pods of two hybrid vanilla plants from Madagascar, Manitra ampotony and Tsy taitra. They were genetically characterized and divided into four distinct phylotypes. Three were associated to genus Bacillus species, and the fourth to the genus Curtobacterium. A selection of twelve strain...
Few studies have been conducted on endophytic bacteria of vanilla. In this study, 58 bacterial strains were isolated from two hybrid vanilla plants from Madagascar, Manitra ampotony and Tsy taitra. They were genetically characterised and divided into four distinct phylotypes. A selection of twelve strains corresponding to the identified genetic div...
The identity of the fungi responsible for fruitlet core rot (FCR) disease in pineapple has been the subject of investigation for some time. This study describes the diversity and toxigenic potential of fungal species causing FCR in La Reunion, an island in the Indian Ocean. One-hundred-and-fifty fungal isolates were obtained from infected and healt...
Fruitlet core rot is one of the major postharvest disease of pineapple (Ananas comosus var. comosus). In the past, control strategies were designed to eliminate symptoms without addressing their causes or mechanisms, thus achieving only moderate success. In this study, (i) we focused on the anatomy of the fruitlets in the resistant “MD-2” and susce...
Introduction – Fruitlet core rot is the major postharvest disease affecting ‘Queen’ pineapple in La Réunion island. The symptoms are black spots located in the pineapple fruitlets. Materials and methods – Fusarium ananatum, the main causal agent of fruitlet core rot was inoculated in ‘MD-2’ and ‘Queen’ (Victoria), a tolerant and a susceptible culti...
La maladie de la tache noire affecte les fruits d’ananas mature, les rendant impropre à la consommation. Actuellement, aucune méthode de contrôle n'est disponible pour cette maladie. Une meilleure connaissance du pathosystème est nécessaire pour trouver des moyens de lutte efficaces.Des entretiens et échantillonnages menés auprès de producteurs dur...
Fusarium ananatum causes fruitlet core rot (FCR) in pineapple (Ananas comosus var. comosus) when the fruit reaches maturity. Hidden symptoms make it difficult to assess the disease, regardless of its stage, and basic questions concerning the involvement of the phenolic compounds in response to infection remain unknown. A direct inoculation method o...
In melon, the Vat gene confers resistance to colonization by the Cotton-Melon aphid species, Aphis gossypii Glover. The Vat gene has been present in several melon varieties produced in south-eastern France for the past fifteen years, although as time goes by, the risk of the aphids overcoming such resistance is increasing. The study of the genetic...
