After harvesting the fruits and vegetables have a limited
post-harvest life. Senescence leads to softening of tissues. Mechanical injuries
such as cuts, bruises, that occur during harvest or handling are a cause of
decay or rot as they are a cause of infection sites. Once a lesion is
initiated, the process of invasion, infection, colonization and reproduction
leads to decay after harvest and the fungal hyphae may spread from infection site
to the entire fruit.
Such a type of rot was seen in tomato stored in refrigerator. On taking a sample from the infected area, slender hyphae forming a network were seen under foldscope.
