This study investigated the effects of Alternaria alternata infection on respiratory metabolism and energy status of 'Korla' fragrant pear fruit, and their correlations with disease development. The results showed that infection increased respiration rate and disease index, and caused changes in enzyme activities and gene expression related to metabolic pathways and energy status in pear fruit.
Blackhead disease of 'Korla' fragrant pear (Pyrus bretschneideri Rehd), caused by the fungus Alternaria alternata (A. alternata), limits postharvest pear fruit storage and transportation. Herein, we explored the effects of A. alternata infection on respiratory metabolism and energy status of pear fruit, and their correlations with disease development. Compared with control fruit, A. alternata-inoculated fruit displayed a higher respiration rate and disease index. Infection increased the gene expression and enzyme activities of phosphohexose isom-erase (PGI), alternative oxidase (AOX), succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) and cytochrome C oxidase (CCO) in pear fruit, and decreased those of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGDH) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydro-genase (G6PDH) in the late storage period. Infection reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide kinase (NADK) activity and expression level in fruit, inhibited NADP accumulation, and increased NAD, NADH, and NADPH contents in the early storage period. Infection also lowered adenosine triphosphate (ATP), adenosine diphosphate (ADP) and energy charge (EC) levels as well as ATPase activity, and enhanced adenosine monophosphate (AMP) content and PbAtpB expression levels, resulting in decreased fruit energy status. All these results suggest that disease development may be connected to the enhancement of the Embden-Meyerhof-Parnas (EMP) pathway, the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, the cytochrome pathway (CCP), the alternative pathway (AP), the increased then decrease in the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP), and reduced energy status in pear fruit.
