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

Figure 3

Effects of S. pararoseus Y16 on spore germination (A) and germ tube length (B) of P. expansum. CK means control; the letters of 10⁴, 10⁵, 10⁶, 10⁷, and 10⁸ represent the concentrations of S. pararoseus Y16 at 10⁴, 10⁵, 10⁶, 10⁷, and 10⁸ cells/mL, respectively. Germination rate and germ tube length were measured by microscope and micrometer after 12 h incubation at 28°C in PDB. Bars represent standard errors. Data in columns with different letters are statistically different according to Duncan’s multiple range test at .
