Abstract
Patulin ecological role has never been elucidated. Gene disruption was used to alter the sequence of 6-methyl-salicylic acid synthase. Disrupted mutants were significantly less pathogenic and virulent on apples. Mutants were more susceptible to the antioxidant quercetin than the wild type. Patulin seems to have a role in blue mould pathogenic development on apples.File in questo prodotto:
