The effects of riboflavin (vitamin B2) against Alternaria rot caused byAlternaria alternataand its possible mechanism in harvested Zaosu pear fruit were investigated. Riboflavin at a concentration of 1.0 mM effectively inhibited development of Alternaria rot and enhanced the activities of defense-related enzymes, such as phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), polyphenoloxidase (PPO) and peroxidase (POD), and increased accumulation of flavonoids, phenolics and lignin. Riboflavin also affected reactive oxygen metabolism of pear fruit by increasing O2–production and H2O2content, and enhancing the activities of the main detoxifying enzymes, such as catalase (CAT) and superoxide dismutase (SOD). Spore germination and mycelial growth ofA. alternatawere inhibited by riboflavin and the inhibitory effect was highly correlated with the riboflavin concentration used in this study. It is suggested that the effects of riboflavin on Alternaria rot in pear fruit may be associated with its direct fungitoxic property against the pathogens, and the elicitation of biochemical defense responses in the fruit.
