Reduction of Postharvest Quality Loss and Microbiological Decay of Tomato “Chonto” (Solanum lycopersicum L.) Using Chitosan-E Essential Oil-Based Edible Coatings under Low-Temperature Storage

“…The antifungal mechanism of essential oils might be related to the diffusion inside the cells, affecting cell membrane synthesis, mitochondrial function, DNA destruction, cell lysis, or inhibiting the sporulation and germination of spoilage fungi [14,89]. Previous studies on tomatoes and cherry tomatoes account for suitable antifungal activities of different chitosan-essential oil treatments [22][23][24]. Still, our present work demonstrates that low-temperature treatment, in combination with CS + RGEO treatments with a minimum of 1.0% of RGEO, were able to inhibit fungi growth on tomato fruits in situ completely.…”

“…Although several chitosan-essential oil strategies have been reported to control fungal decay of tomatoes, many of them were applied during preharvest stages, with severe complications in the growth of the tree leaves. On the other hand, few studies have been addressed during the postharvest stage directly [21][22][23][24][25][26]. However, some of them were applied to cherry tomatoes, and others did not show complete fungal inhibition.…”

Perspectives and Challenges for Sustainable Management of Fungal Diseases of Mungbean [Vigna radiata (L.) R. Wilczek var. radiata]: A Review

“…Both ISR and SAR increased productions of proteins (defense enzymes) like peroxidase (PO), pathogenesis related (PR), phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), polyphenol oxidase (PPO), phenols etc. (Jones and Dangl, 2006;Walters et al, 2009), which showed positive associations with resistance for several fungal diseases of vegetable and legume crops (Vallad and Goodman, 2004;Abdel-Kader et al, 2013). In mungbean, limited studies have been conducted to understand the mechanism of ISR and SAR.…”

Induced resistance during the interaction pathogen x plant and the use of resistance inducers

“…The induced resistance (IR) can be activated by a number of substances, preventing or delaying the entry or subsequent activity of the pathogen in their tissues (Abdel-Kader et al, 2013;Shah et al, 2014). Several agents can induce the production of "signs" in plant tissues, triggering reactions that culminate in a lasting protection against a wide range of pathogens.…”
