ABSTRACT
Postharvest fruit rot caused by pathogens is a serious problem in the pear industry. This study investigated the fungal diversity and main pathogens and identified a new pathogen in the stored 'Huangguan' pear (Pyrus bretschneideri Rehd.), the dominant pear variety in northern China. We sampled 20 refrigeration houses from five main producing regions in Hebei Province and used Illumina sequencing technology to detect the fungal composition. Alternaria (56.3%) was the most abundant fungus, followed by Penicillium (9.2%) and Monilinia (6.2%). We also isolated and identified nine strains of Alternaria and four strains of Penicillium. Moreover, we observed a new postharvest fruit disease in 'Huangguan' pear caused by Stemphylium eturmiunum, which was confirmed by phylogenetic analysis by combining the sequences of three conserved genes, including internal transcribed spacer, gapdh, and calmodulin. This study marks the first documentation of S. eturmiunum causing fruit rot in 'Huangguan' pears, offering valuable insights for identifying and controlling this newly identified postharvest disease.
