Abstract:

This review aims to explore the storage and preservation conditions of lily bulbs, analyze the impact of bulb diseases on storage efficacy, and examine the application prospects of existing preservation techniques and the antibacterial preservation potential of plant essential oils. By integrating existing research on disease types affecting lily bulb storage, current preservation technologies, and the antibacterial effects of plant essential oils, this study assesses the impacts of different preservation techniques on storage outcomes, summarizes findings, and provides recommendations. Lily bulbs are prone to bulb rot disease during storage, primarily caused by pathogens such as Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium solani, Fusarium commune, Fusarium proliferatum, and Curvularia pseudobrachyspora. Commonly used storage and preservation technologies include physical preservation chemical preservation, biological preservation, and combined preservation techniques. Meanwhile, plant essential oils demonstrate significant efficacy in inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria, offering novel insights for improving lily bulb storage and preservation. Investigating lily bulb storage diseases and preservation techniques provides critical references and a theoretical basis for advancing the application of preservation technologies in lily storage practices.
