4 3. Contents 3.1 Contents according to the study plan of the subject The contents are based on three fundamental aspects: 1. Economic, physiological and environmental conditions involved in post-harvest aspects. 2. Study and classification of typical pathogens of rots and stored fruits and vegetables. 3. Description and control of rots and pathological changes. The subject content begins with an introduction to the pathology of post-harvest, their similarities and differences with the general plant pathology of crops. Special mention to the biological trophic associations between the host and the pathogen and the degrees of pathogenicity of pathogens in postharvest is discussed. Quantitative and qualitative losses occurring in fruits, vegetables and flowers rotting effect and physiological alterations were subsequently studied. Physiological aspects of harvested fruits and their relationship to pathogens are later study. The defenses of physical and chemical plant organs presented against attack by pathogens. Methods of prevention and control, and how to manage them with a practical approach and, finally, the identification and description of the main decay on the various types of fruits, vegetables and flowers. 3.2 Internship Program (Name and description each practice) The realization of the following practices are considered mandatory: 1. Methods of isolation and purification of fungi and bacteria that cause decay. 2. Recognition of groups of microorganisms, rotting and pathological changes in fruits and vegetables. 3. Implications parasitic microorganisms isolated from plant tissues. Pathogenicity tests. 4. Trials of prevention and control of rottenness. 5. Full description of rot. 6. Related to the control of rot through the selection and application of approved products exercises. All laboratory practice sessions will take place in the laboratory 0.33 of ETSIA building, unless the faculty considers necessary some sessions or part of them in another room of the same building. 3.3 English program theory (Teaching units and topics) LESSON 1: INTRODUCTION TO POSTHARVEST PATHOLOGY 1.1. Concept of disease in postharvest fruits and vegetables Biological associations d Between different organisms based on nutritional

5 relationships Pathogenicity Concepts and nomenclature commonly used in pathology. LESSON 2: POSTHARVEST LOSSES ESTIMATION: YIELD FROM TO TABLE 2.1. The concept of losses in postharvest studies Biological and environmental causes of losses Main losses During handling, storage and marketing period Estimation of postharvest losses Database of postharvest losses. LESSON 3: PHYSIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF HARVESTED FRUITS AND VEGETABLES AND IMPLICATIONS pathological 3.1. Factors Affecting the metabolism of harvested fruits and vegetables Organic and mineral composition of fruits and vegetables Growth and ripening of plant tissues and organs Deterioration of fruits and vegetables Factors Affecting the storage stability of fruits and vegetables. LESSON 4: HOST DEFENSE MECHANISMS AND PROTECTION AGAINST Pathogens Vegetable senescence and aging of organs and tissues Strategies of plant defenses Development and degradation of During the natural defenses of plants growth and maturation. LESSON 5: MEANS FOR PREVENTING AND CONTROLLING FRUIT AND VEGETABLE DISEASES 5.1. Means for Maintaining and Enhancing host resistance Physical means Chemical based fungicides Biological control Natural fungicides for controlling postharvest diseases.

6 LESSON 6: Classification of Diseases Caused by MICROORGANISMS 6.1. Disease classifications ACCORDING to the symptomatology Classification of diseases Which ACCORDING TO microbial pathogens interact with plant tissues and organs Postharvest disease summary and Their pathogens. LESSON 7: DESCRIPTION AND IDENTIFICATION OF POSTHARVEST DISEASES MICROBIAL AND THEIR Pathogens 7.1. Postharvest diseases and microbial pathogens of citrus fruits Postharvest diseases and microbial pathogens of pome and stone fruits Postharvest diseases and microbial pathogens of grapes and tropical fruits Postharvest diseases and microbial pathogens of solanaceous fruit vegetables and legumes Postharvest diseases and microbial pathogens of bulbs, roots and tubers Postharvest diseases and microbial pathogens of cucurbit, soft and berry fruits Postharvest diseases and microbial pathogens of flower, stem and leaf vegetables.
