Focusing on the great variety of research being done in the field
of postharvest pathology, this volume presents a collection of
topics concerning the diseases of harvested fruits and vegetables.
Each chapter represents a separate unit which taken together create
a better understanding of the whole subject. Topics include the
causal agents of postharvest diseases of fruits and vegetables,
their sources and their ways of penetration into the host; factors
that may accelerate the development of the pathogen in the host -
and those that suppress them; a list of the main pathogens of
fruits and vegetables, their hosts and the diseases elicited by
them; and a detailed description of the major diseases of selected
groups of fruits and solanaceous vegetable fruits. Attack
mechanisms of pathogens and defense mechanisms of the host are
examined as are treatments aimed at suppressing postharvest
diseases. The search for natural and safe chemical compounds and
the variety of alternative physical and biological methods for use
in postharvest disease control are emphasized.
Teachers and students who focus on postharvest pathology,
scientists in research institutes, companies dealing with fruit and
vegetable preservation technologies and for all those striving to
improve the quality of harvested fruits and vegetables will find
this book of great interest.
