Combination of Selenium and Methyl Jasmonate Controls Postharvest Tomato Gray Mold by Damaging the Membrane System

Tomato, which is regarded as an important worldwide crop, susceptible to gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea. Selenium and methyl jasmonate can act antifungal agents against pathogenic infections. To clarify the effect of selenium on fungal pathogen, spore germination mycelial growth B. cinerea were investigated in vitro using rate method. Additionally, electrical conductivity, soluble protein content, malondialdehyde content oxalic acid secretion mycelium also determined further explore mechanism jasmonate. The results showed that application significantly increased cell membrane permeability treatment decreased Furthermore, supplementation medium with both effectively inhibited colony compromising integrity, reduced hypha. resulting incidence postharvest tomato combination was 34.7%, approximately half control. sum up, combined use normal physiological activity pathogenicity cinerea, suggests have potential for controlling disease fruits vegetables. These findings may offer a promising eco-friendly strategy control
