|
| Orange | P. digitatum | Fruits were placed 65 cm below the UV-C source (0.1 W·m2) | Reduced growth of pathogen, attributed to increase in flavonoids content | [46] |
| Orange | P. digitatum | 20 cm above the fruits with 3.6 W and 1.5 KJ·m2 | Reduction in fungi population which was attributed to the accumulation of phytoalexin scoparone in the fruits | [47] |
| Orange | P. italicum and P. digitatum | Irradiation (7.92 kJm2) | Spore inactivation on the fruit surface | [48] |
| Orange | P. italicum and P. digitatum | UV-C light (254 nm) with intensity (2.64 mW cm2) and doses from 0.26 to 15.84 kJ·m2 was applied with lamps over 10 cm of the fruits. | Reduction in the fungi spores by the germicidal effects of UV-C | [49] |
| In vitro at potato dextrose agar (PDA) | P. digitatum | Complete inhibition from 396 mws·cm2 UV-C exposure | Reported to have some type of a hedonal impact on reducing the reproduction of P. digitatum | [50] |
| Grapefruit | P. digitatum | Fruits were placed 10 cm away from the UV-C 254 nm lamps with 2.7 W·m2 fluency rate | Enhanced resistance to P. digitatum which was attributed to the accumulation of a chitinase and 1,3-endoglucanase proteins at the fruits’ peel | [51] |
| Grapefruit and tangerine | P. digitutum | UV-C dose of 1.3 kJ·m2 d | Reducing the incidence of pathogen by induced resistance at the fruits | [52] |
| Tangerines | P. digitatum | UV-C dose of 1.3 kJ·m2 for 1.75 min (fruits were placed 10 cm away and rotated 4 times) | Reducing the incidence of pathogen due to the control of latent infection | [53] |
| Tangerines | P. digitatum | UV-C dose of 1.3 kJ·m2 for 1.75 min | Reducing the incidence of pathogen by induced host resistance to postharvest decay | [54] |
| Kumquats | P. digitatum | UV-C at 0.2 × 103 to 1.5 × 103 J·m2 | Induction of resistance to P. digitatum was previously attributed to phytoalexin and scoparone accumulation | [45] |
