Abstract:

The structural resistance of fruit tissues to pathogenic infection, mainly produced in the tissues of cuticle,
epicuticular wax and lenticel during the process of pathogen-host interaction has been reviewed in this article. Changes in
the structural resistance of fruit tissues in defending against postharvest pathogenic infection and the influence of postharvest
treatment on the structural resistance of fruit tissues have also been discussed.

Key words: fruits, cuticle, epicuticule, cell structure, resistance, postharvest treatment
