Summary

Single table grape berries were irradiated with ultraviolet-C (UV-C) and inoculated with Botrytis cinerea. The pathogen was inoculated on artificial wounds at different times after irradiation and the berries were stored at 21 or 3 deg C. To check the influence of UV-C irradiation on the wound-healing processes, trials using berries wounded just before the UV-C irradiation and inoculated at different times were also performed. Results are given.
