Penicillium expansum causes blue mold rot, a prevalent postharvest disease of pome fruit, and is also the main producer of the patulin. However, knowledge on the molecular mechanisms involved in this pathogen-host interaction remains largely unknown. In this work, a two-dimensional gel electrophoresis-based proteomic approach was applied to probe changes in P. expansum 3.3703 cultivated in apple juice medium, which was used to mimic the in planta condition. The results showed that the pH value and reducing sugar content in the apple juice medium decreased whereas the patulin content increased with the growing of P. expansum. A total of 28 protein spots that were up-regulated in P. expansum when grown in apple juice medium were identified. Functional categorization revealed that the identified proteins were mainly related to carbohydrate metabolism, secondary metabolism, protein biosynthesis or degradation, and redox homeostasis. Remarkably, several induced proteins, including glucose dehydrogenase, galactose oxidase, and FAD-binding monooxygenase, which might be responsible for the observed medium acidification and patulin production, were also detected. Overall, the experimental results provide a comprehensive interpretation of the physiological and proteomic responses of P. expansum to the host plant environment, and future functional characterization of the identified proteins will deepen our understanding of fungi-host interactions.

딸기를 $20^{\circ}C$와 $45^{\circ}C$의 $1\%\;CaCl_2$ 용액에 각각 15분간 침지시킨 후, PE film (0.011mm)으로 포장한 군과 포장하지 않은 군으로 나누어 $5^{\circ}C$에 저장하였다. 그리고 $CaCl_2$, 용액에 침지시키지 않고 PE film(0.011mm)으로 포장한 군과 포장하지 않은 군으로 나누어 $5^{\circ}C$에 저장하였다. $45^{\circ}C\;CaCl_2$ 용액에 침지시킨 후 포장한 처리구에서 부패율은 낮고 경도가 높게 나타났다. 또한 비타민 C함량이 높았고 외관이 가장 좋은 것으로 나타났으며 다른 처리군에 비해 pH가 낮고 산도가 높게 나타났다. 그러나 당도는 처리군 간에 유의성이 없었다. 따라서 수확 후 칼슘 처리와 포장의 병행은 딸기의 저장에 효과적인 것으로 사료된다.
