The study aimed to investigate the effects of blue light (BL) on postharvest ripening and softening kiwifruit. kiwifruit were significantly inhibited by BL; 100 μmol m-2 s-1 intensity exhibited best effect. delay BL was associated with inhibition total soluble solids accumulation, reduction in respiratory rate ethylene production as well 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid oxidase activities. Moreover, it also starch degradation related enzyme...
Cytokinins play a central role in delaying senescence, reducing oxidative damage and maintaining plant growth during drought. This study showed that the ectopic expression of ProRE-deleted MdIPT5b, key enzyme involved cytokinin metabolism, increased drought tolerance transgenic Malus domestica (apple) callus Solanum lycopersicum (tomato) seedlings by homeostasis, thus redox balance. Under restricted watering regimes, yields tomato plants were enhanced. Heterodimers C/S1 bZIP are...
This work investigates the role of hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) in browning and regulating antioxidant defensive system fresh-cut Chinese water chestnuts. The samples were fumigated with 0, 10, 15 μl L −1 H S stored at 10°C for 8 days. results indicated that treatment significantly inhibited chestnuts, reduced superoxide anion ( <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"...
Abstract Plants experiencing salt‐induced stress often reduce cytokinin levels during the early phases of stress‐response. Interestingly, we found that content in apple rootstock “robusta” was maintained at a high level under salt stress. Through screening genes involved biosynthesis and catabolism, expression IPT5b robusta roots were maintaining content. We identified 42 bp deletion promoter region , which elevated levels, this linked to tolerance robusta×M.9 segregating population. The...
The effects of hot air flow (HAF) treatment on the postharvest storage ‘Newhall’ navel oranges were investigated in this study. Studies conducted with two separate sections. First all, HAF at 37 °C for 36 h, 48 and 60 h tested fruit decay weight loss. Thus, optimal was found as based percentage loss, further studies carried out treatment. HAF-treated control fruits flowed 20 relative humidity (RH) 85–95% respectively. After flowing, both treatments individually film-packed, precooled (10–12...
Cucumber fruit is very sensitive to chilling injury, which rapidly depreciates their commodity value. Herein, the effect of fucoidan treatment on cucumber under cold stress were investigated. Fucoidan cold-stored alleviated occurrence delayed weight loss, lowered electrolyte leakage and respiration rate, retarded malondialdehyde accumulation. Different from control fruit, treated showed a high level fatty acid unsaturated content, unsaturation, unsaturation index increased ω-FDAS activity,...
Botryosphaeria dothidea is a major pathogen responsible for postharvest kiwifruit soft rot. This study aimed to determine the influence of hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) on resistance rot and antifungal role H S against B. . The results indicated that (20 μl L −1 ) restricted lesion area following inoculation with enhanced production shikimic acid, tyrosine, tryptophan, phenylalanine while also increasing total phenols, flavonoids, lignin. upregulated expression AcDHQS, AcSDH, AcSK, AcPAL, AcCAD ,...
In plants, the Gretchen GH3 (GH3) protein is involved in free auxin (IAA) and amino acid conjugation, thus controlling homeostasis. To date, many gene families have been identified from different plant species. However, family kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis) has not reported. this study, 12 AcGH3 genes were identified, phylogenetic analysis of AtGH3 (Arabidopsis), SlGH3 (Solanum lycopersicum), provided insights into various orthologous relationships among these proteins, which categorized...
The current research aimed at studying the possibility of improving postharvest storability “Nanfeng” mandarins by hot water dipping (HWD) treatment. was conducted in two phases. Firstly, different temperatures (50 and 55°C) were tested for three durations (2, 3, 4 min) on mandarin fruits, best combination defined prevention weight loss fruit decay. Next, optimal treatment (HWD 50°C 3 used further studies to test effects quality attributes. Regular measurements performed determine total...
Nitric oxide (NO), as an important messenger in eukaryotes, is a novel chemical elicitor capable of inducing defense responses fruit and vegetables. In this study, exogenous NO fumigation at concentration 15 μl L−1 remarkably alleviated the disease symptoms postharvest kiwifruit inoculated with Botryosphaeria dothidea. The incidence NO-treated was approximately 30%, 20%, 13% lower than control from 4 to 6 days post inoculation. At 7 after inoculation, lesion size about 50% that fruit....
Postharvest fungal infection can accelerate the quality deterioration of Ponkan fruit and reduce its commodity value.
To explore the effect of bagging on nutritional quality and color kiwifruit (Actinidia spp.), fruits yellow-fleshed cultivars were analyzed after treatment. Bagging treatment promoted degreening mesocarp increased brightness. significantly reduced accumulation dry matter, titratable acids, starch, sucrose, fructose, glucose during development. Additionally, chlorophyll carotenoids development, whereas debagging, carotenoid contents increased. Gene expression analysis showed that most fruit...
Bagging is widely practiced to produce high quality and unblemished fruit; however, little currently known about the effect of bagging on flavor nutritional cucumber fruits. Here we determined influence fruit (Cucumis sativus L.) using three genotypes from different geographic groups. Exocarp chlorophyll carotenoid levels were significantly decreased by bagging, accompanied color change. Ascorbate content in bagged fruits some extent, while contents soluble sugars, starch, cellulose...
Penicillium digitatum (green mold) is pathogenic fungi and causes citrus fruit postharvest rotting that leads to huge economic losses across the world. The current study was aimed develop a new derivative of cinnamaldehyde (4-methoxycinnamaldehyde) through cross-hydroxyaldehyde condensation method with benzaldehyde substituted by benzene ring under catalysis alkaline reagent and, moreover, test their antifungal potential against P. digitatum, major fungi. Multiple derivatives viz. 4-nitro...
Apple polyphenols (AP), derived from the peel of mature-green apples, are widely used as natural plant-derived preservatives in postharvest preservation numerous horticultural products.The goal this research was to investigate how AP (at 0.5% and 1.0%) influences senescence-related physiological parameters antioxidant capacity 'Jinshayou' pummelo fruits stored at 20°C for 90 d.The treating fruit with could effectively retard loss green color internal nutritional quality, resulting higher...
