Effects of Sporidiobolus pararoseus Y16 on Postharvest Blue Mold Decay and the Defense Response of Apples

Figure 1

Efficacy of S. pararoseus Y16 in inhibiting blue mold decay of apples. Disease incidence (A) and lesion diameter (B) were measured after 6 days of (P. expansum) incubation at 20°C. CK means control; the letters of 10⁶, 10⁷, 10⁸, and 10⁹ represent the concentrations of S. pararoseus Y16 at 10⁶, 10⁷, 10⁸, and 10⁹ cells/mL, respectively. Each value is the mean of two experiments. Bars represent the standard error of the mean. Data in columns with the different letters are significantly different according to Duncan’s multiple range test at .
