During 1985-87, Aegle marmelos fruits severely affected by dry rot caused by A. niger, A. fumigatus and A. luchuensis were observed in markets and orchards of Faizabad, Uttar Pradesh, India. Inoculated fruits incubated for 7 d at 90% RH were analysed biochemically. Protein content was increased c. 2-fold in tissues infected with all 3 A. spp., total free amino acid content was max. in healthy mature fruits and decreased by c. 50% in infected fruits, total phenol content was higher in infected tissues, and total sugar, reducing and non-reducing sugar contents were greatly reduced in infected tissues.
