The results showed that BABA at 100 mmol L-1 significantly reduced lesion diameter in inoculated both tubers and slices. The chemical at 100 mmol L-1 showed an effective reduction in infection ability ofF. sulphureum inoculated 48 and 72 h after treatment in slices of resistant cultivar, and 72 and 96 h in susceptible ones. BABA increased the activitives of peroxidase （POD）, polyphenoloxidase （PPO） and phenylalanine ammonialyase （PAL）, and accumulated the contents of lignin, flavonoids and phenolics in slices. The resistant cultivar had a stronger resistant response than the susceptible one. These findings suggest that the BABA treatment can induce the resistance in potato tubers, however, the inducing degree depends on the original level of resistance present in each cultivar.展开更多

The results showed that HA treatment significantly reduced lesion diameter and enhanced activities of chitinase（CHI）, β-1,3-glucanase and phenylalanine ammonia-lyase（PAL） in strawberry fruit. Total phenolic contents were also increased by HA treatment. The activities of antioxidant enzymes including superoxide dismutase（SOD）, catalase（CAT） and ascorbate peroxidase（APX） were higher in HA treated strawberry fruit than those in control. Expression of three defense related genes such as CAT, CCR-1 allele and PLA6 was greatly induced in HA treated strawberry fruit with or without inoculation by B. cinerea. In addition, the in vitro experiment showed that HA treatment inhibited spore germination and tube growth of B. cinerea. These results suggested that HA treatment directly activated disease resistance against B. cinerea in strawberry fruit without priming response and directly inhibiting growth of B. cinerea.展开更多

The effects of INA on controlling postharvest blue and green molds and anthracnose decay and defense-related enzymes on citrus fruits were investigated, and the ascorbic acid of naturally infected citrus flavedo was also measured. Results showed that 1.0 mmol L^(–1) INA treatments significantly reduced blue and green molds and anthracnose decay development on both wound-inoculated fruit and naturally-infected fruit compared with the control fruit. The treatment effectively enhanced the β-1,3-glucanase(GLU), chitinase(CHI), phenylalanine ammonia-lyase(PAL) and peroxidase(POD) activities and the polyphenol oxidase(PPO) in flavedo. The results presented here suggest that INA might be used as a chemical fungicide substitution to control postharvest diseases in citrus fruits.展开更多
