The use of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) has proven to be efficient in increasing the yield of plants. Few studies show its effect on fruit quality, but none indicate its interaction with postharvest treatments during its shelf life. Therefore, the objective of this work was to determine the quality of the ‘Maradol red’ papaya fruits from plants inoculated with Glomus mosseae (730 spores 100 g-1 inoculant) and their response to storage for 10 and 20 days at 10 ºC , treated with a ripening inhibitor (1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP). The results showed that the inoculation of inoculated papaya plants significantly reduces the weight loss of the fruits. The application of 1-MCP maintained firmness in the fruits stored for 10 days and delayed their loss for three more days in those stored for 20 days. AMF inoculation did not significantly affect the response of papaya fruits to treatment with 1-MCP in both storage periods at 10 °C.
