The effect of preharvest and postharvest application of ASM was evaluated for its ability to induce resistance in muskmelon fruit. The results indicated that 50 and 100 mg L-1 ASM or 1 mL L-1 imazalil at 1 week or 1 day before harvest were effective in reducing the lesion area with 100 mg L-1 ASM the most effective. No treatment inhibited the infection rate. The postharvest results showed that 50 and 100 mg L-1 ASM,and 0.1 mL L-1 imazalil were effective in reducing the lesion area with 100 mg L-1 ASM the most effective. No treatment inhibited the infection rate. There was a clear time-dependent response of the fruit to postharvest ASM treatment,in which treatments applied 1,3,and 5 day before inoculation provided the best results. ASM did not demonstrate any fungicide effect in vitro and suppressed lesion area in treated muskmelons,indicating that disease resistance was induced. The protection of ASM was associated with the activation of peroxidase (POD) in treated muskmelons.展开更多

Induced resistance was studied in muskmelons (cv. Yindi) inoculated Trichothecium roseum with postharvest 1,2,3- benzothiadiazole-7-carbothioic acid S-methyl ester (ASM) (100 mg L-1) or harpin (50 mg L-1) treatment.

Yindi) inoculated Trichothecium roseum with postharvest 1,2,3- benzothiadiazole-7-carbothioic acid S-methyl ester (ASM) (100 mg L-1) or harpin (50 mg L-1) treatment. Both ASM and harpin significantly reduced lesion diameter in inoculated fruit. Lesion diameter was limited in the treated and untreated halves of the same fruit, indicating that the local and systemic resistance was induced. Inhibiting efficacy of elicitors lasted 7 and 5 days in the treated and untreated halves. The resistance increased by the chemicals was associated with the activation of peroxidase (POD) and chitinase (CHT). The elicitors induced a significantly and progressively increasing activity of POD and CHT in the treated and untreated halves, and the activation lasted at least 5 days. The activities of POD isoenzymes increased in the treated fruit. However, no new enzyme band was found in the treated and untreated halves.展开更多

Preharvest treatments were 30 mg L-1, 60 mg L-1 Harpin or 1 mg L-1 Imazalil either 1 week or 1 day before harvest. The CK was untreated. Fruit were then inoculated with Fusarium semitectum or Trichothecium roseum 48 h after harvest, and stored at 23 ± 1°C, RH (relative humidity) 50-60% for 4 d. All treatments were effective in reducing the lesion area with 60 mg L-1 Harpin the most effectively. No treatments inhibited infection rate. Postharvest treatment was fruit dips of 30 mg L-1, 60 mg L-1 Harpin, 0.1 mg L-1 Imazalil. Fruit were inoculated with F. semitectum or T. roseum 24, 72, 120 or 168 h after treatment, and stored at 23 ± 1°C, RH 50-60% for 4 days. All treatments were effective in reducing the lesion area with 60 mg L-1 Harpin the most effectively. No treatments inhibited the infection rate. Postharvest Harpin treatment induced the peroxidase activity increase, peroxidase activity reached maximum after 8 d and the activation lasted at least 10 d.展开更多

In this study, the pathogens of main fungal diseases in muskmelon in open field of Hubei Province were isolated, and they were identified by morphological and molecular techniques. The results showed that muskmelon fusarium wilt is a major disease in muskmelon in open field of Hubei Province in summer, and its pathogen was confirmed to be Fusarium oxysporum. In future studies, one pair of specific primers would be designed to detect different pathogenic races of Fusarium oxysporum so as to accelerate the detection and to shorten the detection time,thereby proving guidance for actual production.展开更多

The challenge inoculation experiments indicate that the symptom of oxalate treated plants gets much slighter, the virus content is only 4% reduced to. The peroxidase activity increases by five times, three new isoperoxidases are induced, and lignin content increases by 82.9%. These results indicate that oxalate induces systemic resistance of muskmelon to SqMV while it induces increase of peroxidase activity, new isoperoxidases and content of lignin in the plants treated with oxalate.展开更多
