Abstract

The study aimed to investigate the effects of thifluzamide (2.67 mg/L) on 'Huangguan' pear fruit rot caused by during storage, as well as the activities of polygalacturonase (PG), pectin methylesterase (PME), polygalacturonic acid trans-eliminase (PGTE), pectin methyl trans-eliminase (PMTE), xylanase, and pectate lyase (PL) secreted by . The results showed that thifluzamide treatment significantly inhibited the activities of PG, PME, PGTE, PMTE, xylanase, and PL secreted by after 3 days in vitro culture, compared to the control. Thifluzamide also increased the activities of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), cinnamate-4-hydroxylase (C4H), and 4-coumarate CoA ligase (4CL), and the contents of flavonoids and total phenolic compounds in pear fruit. Furthermore, thifluzamide increased the expression of , , , , , , and involved in phenylpropanoid metabolism in pear fruit. In conclusion, thifluzamide treatment reduced the infection ability of by inhibiting the expression of the genes encoding cell wall-degrading enzymes in . At the same time, it inhibited the activities of cell wall-degrading enzymes induced resistance against infection in 'Huangguan' pears by promoting phenylpropane metabolism.
