Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus) belonging to the family Moraceae, is a popular
tropical fruit originated from India and Malasia and is now widely grown in San Blas, Nayarit,
Mexico. Jackfruit has a short shelf life (2-3 days after harvest), mostly because of losses due to
postharvest diseases caused by pathogenic fungi. These fungi have not been identified in
jackfruit from Nayarit. The aim of this research is to identify the fungi that cause diseases in
jackfruit in order to develop new post-harvest practices for the future. Five fungi,
corresponding to the genus Aspergillus and Penicillium were isolated from deteriorated
jackfruit. The pathogenicity test was positive only for Aspergillus sp. which after PCR analysis
was identified as Aspergillus niger ATCC16888
