Isolation and identification of <i>Alternaria alstroemeriae</i> causing postharvest black rot in citrus and its control using curcumin-loaded nanoliposomes.

ABSTRACT: Citrus black rot caused by the pathogen Alternaria alstroemeriae severely affects the growth and production of citrus industry. In order to further elucidate the pathogen of citrus fruit rot in Yunnan Province, the pathogenic fungi causing citrus fruit rot were identified through isolation and purification, pathogenicity testing, morphological characteristics, and rDNA ITS sequence analysis. Meanwhile, we synthesized curcumin-loaded nanoliposomes, a potential management approach to control citrus postharvest pathogen, and conducted vitro and vivo experiment to investigate the effects of different curcumin-loaded nanoliposomes treatments inhibitory effect to pathogen A. alstroemeriae. The results showed that the pathogenic fungi of citrus rot diseases were A.
