Fig. 2. Schematic description of spatio-temporal distribution of AGPs during ripening process and fungal infection.

The presence of AGPs restricted to the border between cell wall-plasma membrane in mature fruit and AGPs disturbed localization in the whole extracellular matrix after the senescence process. Accumulation of AGPs in damaged fruit zones and spots filled by conidia as a result of substantial disruption of fruit tissue during fungal infection. Surrounding layer of AGPs close to the cluster of fungal spores
