Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Aims: To investigate the effects of trans-2-hexenal on blue mould disease, patulin content and fruit quality in 'Conference' pears. Methods and Results: Fruits, wounded and inoculated with Penicillium expansum or non-inoculated, were exposed to trans-2-hexenal vapour treatment (12.5 μl l) at 20°C. A greater reduction of decay was obtained by treatment application 24 or 48 h after inoculation, in contrast trans-2-hexenal application 2 h after inoculation was ineffective. Fruit storage temperature (-1°C) after treatment did not affect the antifungal activity. Although 2-h exposure to trans-2-hexenal was effective in reducing blue mould, an exposure of at least 8 h was required to reduce fruit patulin content. Treatments did not affect fruit physical-chemical characteristics. After 6 days at 20°C following exposure, trans-2-hexenal residue in treated fruits was less than the natural content of the compound in unripe fruits. Conclusions: trans-2-Hexenal treatment is effective in the reduction of blue mould infections and patulin content in Conference pears when applied 24-48 h after pathogen inoculation. Significance and Impact of the Study: trans-2-Hexenal could be a natural alternative to fungicides in the control of P. expansum infections. Further work is needed to study the methods and conditions avoiding the persistence of off-odours and off-flavours in pears after their exposure to trans-2-hexenal vapours. © 2006 The Society for Applied Microbiology.
