First report of Pseudomonas syringae pv. actinidiae causing kiwifruit bacterial canker in New Zealand.
K.R. Everett,R. K. Taylor,M. K. Romberg,Jonathan Rees-George,R. A. Fullerton,Joel L. Vanneste,M. A. Manning +6 more
TL;DR: Leaves from gold kiwifruit plants, Actinidia chinensis, with dark brown angular spots and flowers that were brown and wilted, first yielded non-fluorescent bacterial colonies following isolation that were identified by diagnostic polymerase chain reaction (PCR) as Pseudomonas syringae p.s. pv.

Taxonomy of fruit-rotting fungal pathogens: what∑ s really out there?
TL;DR: The role of taxonomy in understanding the epidemiology of fruit rotting diseases and in determining the biosecurity status of the fungi associated with those diseases is discussed and the need for unambiguous taxonomy to facilitate more effective control and management strategies of plant pathogens is illustrated.
Fungi associated with fruit rots of Actinidia chinensis ‘Hort16A’ in New Zealand
TL;DR: The observations of several years of study on diseases of ‘Hort16A’ kiwifruit are outlined and the symptoms and the fungi associated with them are described.

Maturity and postharvest temperature management affect rot expression in ‘Hort16A’ kiwifruit
TL;DR: The findings indicate the importance of a holistic approach to understanding rot expression in storage and not only is the inoculum source or load at harvest significant but also the physiological state of the fruit, which can influence the timing and species of fungi that ultimately grow on the fruit.

Picking wound curing to reduce Botrytis storage rot of kiwifruit.
S. R. Pennycook,M. A. Manning +1 more
TL;DR: Incidence of stem-end rot in kiwifruit inoculated with Botrytis conidia just before entering coolstorage was reduced progressively with increasing duration of a holding period at ambient temperature between harvesting and grading/packing, from 49% with a nil holding period to 6% with 7 days at ambient.
