The disease symptoms on the apple fruit inoculated with Botryosphaeria dothidea. The disease develops quickly on control fruits, and apple fruit rots 5 days later (A). But the Serratia plymuthica-treated apple only shows slight disease symptoms (B). Serratia plymuthica significantly reduces the disease spot diameter (C) and inhibits apple ring rot on postharvest fruits (D) caused by Botryosphaeria dothidea. Different lowercase letters indicate significant differences between treatments or different times (P < 0.05).
