“…Penicillium brasilianum is recorded on onion in Korea, and was distinguished from P. simplicissimum by multi-gene topology (Sang et al, 2014). Our assay for P. polonicum obtained the same result as in Dugan et al (2014), except that in 2014 the isolate used (not identical to the isolate here but also from seed of onion cultivar al., 2014), Turkey (Çakir and Maden, 2015), and from each of our hosts in Dugan et al (2014).…”

“…were reported as the most form of common storage rot pathogen, but specific species were not previously identified [ 8 , 11 ]. Confirmatory, P. polonicum has previously been reported as a psychro-tolerant xerophilic fungus that is associated with the spoilage of many foods and food products, such as peanuts, cereals, yam tubers, kiwifruit fruits, onions, and green table olives [ 17 , 31 , 33 , 34 , 35 ].…”

During preservation, Jerusalem artichoke (JA) tubers are subjected to deterioration by mold fungi under storage, which signifies a serious problem. A new blue mold (Penicillium polonium) was recorded for the first time on JA tubers. Penicillium mold was isolated, identified (morphologically, and molecularly), and deposited in GenBank; (MW041259). The fungus has a multi-lytic capacity, facilitated by various enzymes capable of severely destroying the tuber components. An economic oil-based procedure was applied for preserving and retaining the nutritive value of JA tubers under storage conditions. Caraway and clove essential oils, at a concentration of 2%, were selected based on their strong antifungal actions. JA tubers were treated with individual oils under storage, kept between peat moss layers, and stored at room temperature. Tubers treated with both oils exhibited lower blue mold severity, sprouting and weight loss, and higher levels of carbohydrates, inulin, and protein contents accompanied by increased levels of defense-related phytochemicals (total phenols, peroxidase, and polyphenol oxidase). Caraway was superior, but the results endorse the use of both essential oils for the preservation of JA tubers at room temperature, as an economic and eco-safe storage technique against the new blue mold.

“…Gao et al (2013) identified P. chrysogenum Thom, P. expansum, P. paneum, P. viridicatum associated with WCR symptoms on Fuji apples in China. Penicillium polonicum has previously been shown to cause storage rot on onions (Çakir and Maden 2015). This is the first report of P. polonicum pathogenic on apple.…”

Morphological and molecular identification of fungi associated with South African apple core rot

Core rot is a major contributor to postharvest losses in apples worldwide. Pathogens most commonly associated with the disease are Alternaria spp. and Penicillium spp. Although both genera show specific morphological characteristics, they can be difficult to identify to species level. In this study, Alternaria spp. (49) and Penicillium spp. isolates (97), associated with pre-and post-harvest apple core rot-symptoms and isolates from potential inoculum sources were identified using molecular methods. Initially, dry core rot causing Alternaria spp. were identified morphologically in an average of 70% of infected fruit pre-harvest and 32% postharvest. Furthermore, 78% of mouldy core rot causing pathogens were identified as Alternaria spp. preharvest and 40% postharvest. Wet core rot was associated with Penicillium spp. in 64% of cases preharvest and 36% postharvest. Species identity of a selection of samples was confirmed using the endopolygalacturonase (endo-PG) gene, the ITS region, and the anonymous genomic regions (OPA1-3, 2-1), which resulted in the identification of A. alternata, A. arborescens, A. dumosa, A. eureka and A. tenuissima. Penicillium species were identified through ITS sequencing and partial beta-tubulin polymerase chain reaction -random fragment length polymorphisms (PCR-RFLP) for the samples collected from wet core rot symptoms. Phylogenetic analyses separated the Alternaria spp. into five clades, including three separate clades for A. alternata, A. tenuissima and A. arborescens, respectively. This is the first report of A. eureka and P. polonicum as potential core rot pathogens. Phylogenetic analysis identified Penicillium ramulosum and P. expansum as the most commonly occurring species associated with WCR symptoms.
