Abstract

Abstract: To provide evidence for the control of taro postharvest diseases, the main pathogens causing postharvest decay of taro and the antifungal effect of hinokitiol against these pathogens were investigated. In this study, the pathogenic fungal strains were isolated from naturally decaying taro grown in Fenghua, Zhejiang province by tissue separation method and identified by morphological characteristics and rDNA-ITS sequence analysis, and their pathogenicity was evaluated by Koch’s postulate. The antifungal activity of hinokitiol was investigated by evaluating its effects on the mycelial growth, spore germination, malondialdehyde content and ultrastructure of the dominant pathogens. The results showed that the two pathogenic strains isolated were identified as Fusarium sp. and Lasiodiplodia theobromae respectively. Hinokitiol exhibited obvious antifungal activity against the pathogens. It inhibited mycelial growth and spore germination, exacerbated membrane lipid peroxidation, and destroyed the subcellular structure of mycelia. Accordingly, this study indicated that hinokitiol can be a promising candidate for the control of postharvest diseases of taro.
