Popis: The effect of 20% high degree polymerized agave fructans (HDPAF) on the induction of the defense system in avocado fruits was investigated by transcriptomic analysis at 1, 24 and 72 h after treatment, and the effect of HDPAF on respiration rate and ethylene production was also analyzed. Transcriptomic profiling revealed 5425 differentially expressed genes (DEGs), 55 of which were involved in the pathways related to plant defense response to pathogens. Key genes were associated with phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, mitogen-activated protein signaling, plant hormone signaling, calcium ion signal decoding, and pathogenesis-related proteins. Dysregulated genes involved in ethylene biosynthesis were also identified, and the reduction in ethylene production by HDPAF was corroborated by gas chromatography, where three days of delayed peak production was observed compared to that in water-treated fruits. These results help to understand the mechanism of induction of the avocado defense system by applying HDPAF and support the application of HDPAF as an efficient postharvest treatment to extend the shelf life of the fruit.
