Dynamic Microbiome Changes Reveal the Effect of 1-Methylcyclopropene Treatment on Reducing Post-harvest Fruit Decay in "Doyenne du Comice" Pear.

ABSTRACT: Pathogen-induced decay is one of the most common causes of fruit loss, resulting in substantial economic loss and posing a health risk to humans. As an ethylene action inhibitor, 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) can significantly reduce fruit decay, but its effect on fruit pathogens remains unclear. Herein, the change in microbial community structure was analyzed using the high-throughput sequencing technology, and characteristics related to fruit quality were determined after 1-MCP (1.0 M l L^-1) treatment in "Doyenne du Comiceis" pear fruit during storage at ambient temperature. Overall, 1-MCP was highly effective in reducing disease incidence and induced multiple changes of the fungal and bacterial microbiota. At day 15, the microbial diversity of fungi or bacteria was reduced sig
