Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Pedicel of chili pepper fruits had the highest decay rate, 76.67% after 4 days of storage, followed by calyx and pericarp
- Observation Decay characteristics of pedicel, calyx and pericarp varied considerably during storage at 30 °C
- Observation Pericarp had the highest microbial richness and diversity at the start of storage, followed by pedicel and calyx
- Association Bacterial richness decreased on the pericarp of chili pepper fruits during storage
- Association Bacterial richness remained stable on the pedicel and calyx of chili pepper fruits during storage
- Association Fungal richness decreased in pedicel, calyx and pericarp of chili pepper fruits
- Association Fusarium was identified as the primary cause of pedicel and calyx disease of chili pepper fruits
- Mechanism Bacteria associated with xylanolysis are predicted to play important roles in pericarp tissue rot of chili pepper fruits
