Study on Effect and Mechanism of -Aminobutyric Acid on Mango Anthracnose Caused by Colletotrichum gloeosporioides

Anthracnose is one of the most serious postharvest diseases that can manifest in mango. The mechanism and inhibitory effects of β-aminobutyric acid (BABA) on anthracnose in harvested mango fruit were investigated. The “Guifei” fruits were pretreated with different concentrations of 25, 50, 75, and 100 mmol/L BABA, with 0 mmol/L BABA as the control, and inoculated with Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. The results showed that 50 mmol/L BABA treatment significantly reduced the incidence of...
