This research was performed to determine the influence of temperature and light conditions to colony growth of Monilinia isolates collected on stone fruits in Montenegro. The fungi cause brown rot on stone fruits and have a great economic impact in Montenegrin stone fruit production. Effects of temperature (at 15°, 22°, 27° and 30˚C) and light (light16h /darkness 8h and constant darkness) were studied on Monilinia laxa (Aderh. & Ruhland) Honey and Monilinia fructicola (G. Wint.) Honey isolates. Optimal temperature for both M. laxa and M. fructicola was 22 °C and at this temperature M. fructicola isolates grew faster than M. laxa. Temperatures higher then optimal favoured M. fructicola, while lower temperature favoured M. laxa. Isolates of both species developed better in darkness while sporulation was instigated by light/dark alteration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
