Abstract: Post-harvest fresh fruits were susceptible to infection and rot due to pathogenic microorganisms in the surrounding environment,especially fungi.The development of antifungal agent and fresh-keeping agent for fruits to reduce the rate of decay of fruits not only contributed to human health,but also reduced economic losses and waste of resources.The plant source fresh-keeping agent for fruits prepared from plant resources as fruits disease inhibitors had the advantages of safety,environmental friendliness,harmlessness or less toxicity to human,animal and other non-target organisms,and the field of fruit preservation was increasingly the focus of international research attention.This article summarized the major fruit diseases and symptoms,rot-causing fungi and suffering species of post-harvest fruits.The research of plant inhibiting these rot-inducing fungi were summarized,and provided a reference for the development of plant-source preservatives.

Key words: fruits, fungi, plant resource, antifungal plant
