V International Symposium on Postharvest Pathology

The?V International Symposium on Postharvest Pathology will be held in Li?ge (Belgium), from 19 to 24 May 2019. The symposium will focus on the following topics: Consumer demand, Food losses and Marketing strategies- Consumer demand: Food safety and security- Food losses : Causes and problems encountered from the field to the table- Industry requirements : Processing, Packaging- Marketing strategies and Problems encountered in Retail distribution chain Postharvest disease management: Conventional and alternative control strategies- Physical and chemical agents to control post-harvest decay- Biocontrol agents (micro-organisms, plant extracts,...) in managing postharvest decays- Biofumigation (Volatile organic compounds) and elicitors, new way to handle postharvest pathologies- Integrated approaches to postharvest disease management Innovative technologies related to postharvest pathology- High throughput technologies for studying postharvest pathology- Editing the genome to produce resistant crops to pests Elucidation of host pathogen interactions/Molecular exploration of host-pathogen interactions- Using omics technologies for studying pathogen-host interactions- Virulence regulation, host defense and induced fruit resistance Microbiota community in postharvest- Postharvest conditions and effect of Microbiota dynamic in preventing or favoring decays, their impact on quality loss- Relationship between microbiota and control methods Advances and applied research in handling, packaging, transport, and distribution to reduce postharvest losses- Current and innovative methods in epidemiology, detection, and control of foodborne postharvest pathogens- Innovative Nanotechnology in food processing, packaging and storage methods More information
