Fungal infection in partially peeled d-limonene independent transgenic AS and EV control cv Navelina fruits. A and B, Disease incidence at 5 d after peeling in EV lines compared with line AS7 in green (A) and mature (B) fruits. The same results were observed for line AS3. C and D, The relative amount of individual terpenes is presented as a percentage area (given as a fraction of unity) of each terpene with respect to the total terpene peak area for monoterpene hydrocarbons in the EV line, which was assigned an arbitrary value of 1 in green (C) and mature (D) flavedo. Data represent means ± se and are derived from at least five fruits per plant. E and F, Magnification of fruits in EV (E) and AS7 (F) lines. The red arrows indicate flavedo-infected zones of EV fruit. G and H, Microscopic identification of fungi-infected fruits. Images shown are light micrographs of Aspergillus spp (G) at 20× magnification and Penicillium spp (H) at 40× magnification. Bars = 100 μm and 50 μm, respectively.
