Background: Brown rot of stone and pome fruit is a serious fungal disease that is mainly caused by four species in the genus Monilinia. Of these four species, Monilinia fructicola is the most devastating pathogen and of particular concern because it undergoes sexual recombination and has recently been introduced to Europe. So far, Monilinia diagnosis required a multiplex PCR analysis and gel electrophoresis. In contrast, intact-protein biotyping by mass spectrometry is considerably faster and cheaper. However, it usually requires an in vitro cultivation step prior to the MALDI analysis. It was thus attempted to establish a method for the identification of Monilinia species by MALDI biotyping with fungal material derived directly from infected fruits; without an in vitro cultivation step. Results:To simplify and render MALDI biotyping of fungi more reliable, an improved protocol for the preparation of crude protein extracts and for collecting MALDI-TOF MS data for biotyping was developed. We generated reference spectra for all four Monilinia brown rot fungi and were able to reliably identify Monilinia species based on fungal material that was collected directly from infected fruits. This method allowed the correct, fast and economic identification of M. fructicola and M. laxa, while M. fructigena and M. polystroma could not be distinguished reliably.Conclusions: MALDI biotyping may be used as an economical tool for the routine diagnosis of Monilinia brown rot fungi on infected fruits.

“…Based on ecological parameters it can be considered when and in what extent the disease can be expected. According to Hrustić et al (2012), heavy rains in the period of flowering, with temperatures ranging from 20 to 25ºС during the day are ideal conditions for the disease development. Angeli et al (2017) cited that there are differences in ecological requirements in areas where these two species co-exist.…”

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.

“…The fungus survives winter (and is transmitted from year to year) in several structures, such as mummified fruits [11,64,65], in canopy or on the ground [12], fruit peduncles [13], cankers on twigs, spurs, and branches [14,15]. These propagule-infested materials, according to Gell et al [16], serve as sources of primary inoculum, and, when weather conditions are suitable, spores can infect blossoms, buds, and young shoots, thus a establishing a source of secondary inoculum [16].…”

“…laxa, as a mycelium, overwinters in twig cankers, blighted blossoms parts, peduncles, and mummified peach fruits in the canopy or on the ground [12]. In addition, in the spring, mycelia propagules begin to sporulate and produce abundant conidia which initiate infections on close contact with susceptible tissues, such as blossoms, spurs, and twigs [74].…”

Peach Brown Rot: Still in Search of an Ideal Management Option

Abstract:The peach is one of the most important global tree crops within the economically important Rosaceae family. The crop is threatened by numerous pests and diseases, especially fungal pathogens, in the field, in transit, and in the store. More than 50% of the global post-harvest loss has been ascribed to brown rot disease, especially in peach late-ripening varieties. In recent years, the disease has been so manifest in the orchards that some stone fruits were abandoned before harvest. In Spain, particularly, the disease has been associated with well over 60% of fruit loss after harvest. The most common management options available for the control of this disease involve agronomical, chemical, biological, and physical approaches. However, the effects of biochemical fungicides (biological and conventional fungicides), on the environment, human health, and strain fungicide resistance, tend to revise these control strategies. This review aims to comprehensively compile the information currently available on the species of the fungus Monilinia, which causes brown rot in peach, and the available options to control the disease. The breeding for brown rot-resistant varieties remains an ideal management option for brown rot disease control, considering the uniqueness of its sustainability in the chain of crop production.
