Effects of Some Polyamine Biosynthesis Inhibitors and Calcium Chloride on In Vitro Growth and Decay Development in Apples Caused by Botrytis cinerea and Penicillium expansum

Robert A. Saftner; William S. Conway; Carl E. Sams Journal of the American Society for Horticultural Science 1997. doi:10.21273/jashs.122.3.380

Other claims from this paper (9)

Intervention effect All three polyamine biosynthesis inhibitors reduced the in vitro growth of Botrytis cinerea and Penicillium expansum.
Intervention effect Calcium had no effect on the in vitro growth of the fungal pathogens.
Intervention effect Pressure infiltration of millimolar concentrations of DFMO or DFMA into apples reduced subsequent soft rot development by B. cinerea and P. expansum by more than 40%.
Intervention effect Pressure infiltration of 25 g/L CaCl2 solution into apples reduced subsequent soft rot development by B. cinerea and P. expansum by more than 40%.
Intervention effect A combination treatment of Ca and DFMO or DFMA reduced decay in apples by more than 67%.
Intervention effect None of the inhibitors changed polyamine levels in apple cortical tissues.
Intervention effect Some injury to the fruit surface of apples was observed with Ca treatments.
Intervention effect Apple fruit treated with Ca and any of the inhibitors were less firm than fruit treated with Ca alone.
Recommendation The authors suggest that specific polyamine biosynthesis inhibitors combined with Ca may be useful in reducing postharvest decay in apples.

Other claims from this paper (9)

Observation Three Penicillium species acidified apple and citrus fruit environments during decay.
Association Exposure to pH 5.0 increased citric acid production by P. expansum and P. digitatum hyphae.
Observation The pathogens produced significant citric and gluconic acids in decayed fruit.
Observation The pathogens reduced host fruit pH by 0.5 to 1.0 units.
Association Ammonium depletion was directly related to ambient pH reduction.
Observation P. expansum pepg1 transcripts accumulated under acidic culture conditions.
Association Lower-pH cultivars increased P. expansum development.
Intervention effect Citric acid treatment increased P. expansum development.

Intervention effect A 500 µg L⁻¹ microemulsion significantly reduced pear decay incidence by 18.7% relative to non microemulsion after four days at 20 °C.
Intervention effect In vapor phase, the lowest concentration of cinnamon microemulsion gave the best control of pear decay incidence.
Intervention effect In vapor phase, the lowest concentration of cinnamon microemulsion gave the best control of pear lesion diameter.
Intervention effect Pears inoculated with Botrytis cinerea immediately before cinnamon microemulsion had the lowest decay incidence.
Intervention effect Natural decay was 3.8% under cinnamon microemulsion treatment.
Intervention effect Cinnamon microemulsion delayed pear ascorbic acid loss.
