        Abstract

        The postharvest susceptibility of pear fruits to Cryptosporiopsis perennans, Colletotrichum gloeosporioides,
        Botryosphaeria dothidea, Penicillium expansum, Botrytis cinerea and Alternaria alternata was assessed. Wounded and
        unwounded pear cultivars (cvs.) Housui, Abate Fetel, Ya-li, Kousui, Niitaka, d’Anjou, Packham’s Triumph and Williams
        were inoculated with the pathogens and the incidence and severity of decay was recorded. B. dothidea infected
        unwounded pears ‘Housui’, ‘Abate Fetel’, ‘Ya-li’, ‘Kousui’, ‘Niitaka’, ‘Packham’s Triumph’ and ‘d’Anjou’; C. gloeosporioides
        infected ‘Abate Fetel’, ‘Niitaka’ and ‘Packham’s Triumph’ pear fruits unwounded, and C. perennans also infected
        unwounded fruits d’Anjou and Packham’s Triumph. Pear fruits with wounds were susceptible to all the pathogens.
