Characterization of Volatile Organic Compounds Associated with Postharvest Pathogens of Stored Sugarbeet Roots
Postharvest diseases caused by fungal and bacterial pathogens significantly reduce sucrose yield in stored sugarbeet roots in the U.S. and other sugarbeet producing regions. This study investigated volatile organic compounds (VOCs) associated with infections by sugarbeet postharvest pathogens, such as Penicillium expan...
