To elucidate the role of fruit wax in fungal infection, changes in chemical composition of wax during fruit development of Pingguoli pear, and their role in Alternaria alternata infection were studied. Results showed that wax content increased during fruit development. Fruit harvested 130 days after full bloom (DAFB) had a peak wax content that was eight times higher than from fruit at 100 DAFB. There were differences in the relative chain-length distribution of wax classes during development. Alkanes were major components during early development, whereas alkanes and triterpenoids predominated during late development. Results of in vitro tests showed that conidial germination and mycelial growth of A. alternata could be inhibited by wax extracted from the fruit surface at different developmental stages. These results shed new light on the chemical basis for wax involvement in fungal infection.
