Lignin biosynthesis and its transcriptional regulatory networks have been studied in model plants woody trees. However, lignification also occurs some fleshy fruit has rarely considered this way. Loquat ( Eriobotrya japonica ) is one such convenient tissue for exploring the transcription factors involved regulating flesh lignification. Firmness lignin content of 'Luoyangqing' loquat were fund to increase during low-temperature storage as a typical symptom chilling injury, while heat...

Summary Lignin biosynthesis is regulated by many transcription factors, such as those of the MYB and NAC families. However, roles AP 2/ ERF factors in lignin have been rarely investigated. Eighteen Ej genes were isolated from loquat fruit ( Eriobotrya japonica ), which undergoes postharvest lignification during low temperature storage. Among these, expression 2‐1 , a transcriptional repressor, was negatively correlated with lignification. The dual‐luciferase assay indicated that could...

Abstract Transcriptional regulatory mechanisms underlying lignin metabolism have been widely studied in model plants and woody trees, as well fruit, such loquat ( Eriobotrya japonica ). Unlike the well‐known NAC, MYB AP2/ERF transcription factors, roles of heat shock factors HSFs ) regulation rarely reported. Two treatments (heat treatment, HT; low temperature conditioning, LTC) were applied to alleviate temperature‐induced lignification fruit. Gene expression analysis indicated that EjHSF1...

During the storage and transportation of mango fruit, major source disease is anthracnose, caused by fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. The objective this study to find an appropriate method that not only reduces decay but also maintains its postharvest quality. effects chemicals, use yeast species Metschnikowia pulcherrima their combination on quality, focusing enzyme activity related Tainong mangos was studied. By immersing mangoes in M. suspension (1.0×108 cfu mL−1), salicylic acid...

Abstract Wampee fruit is a popular cultivar in South‐East Asia due to its high levels of nutrients and antioxidants; however, pericarp browning leads short storage life with great economic loss during years. The purpose this work was determine whether postharvest ethanol fumigation affected development wampee 12 days at 8 ± 0.5°C, if so, how it related phenol metabolism affects quality attributes antioxidant systems storage. After fruits were fumigated 100, 300, 500, 800 μl/L for 5 hr 22...

Fresh date fruits (cvs. Hillawi and Khadrawi) were harvested at the khalal stage treated with hot water treatment (HWT) for different time durations (control, HWT-1 min, HWT-3 HWT-5 HWT-7 min) to investigate physicochemical characteristics, phytochemical properties, sensory attributes. The results revealed that both cultivars took less reach tamar in response min compared control. However, fruit showed a higher ripening index (75%) while Khadrawi had (80%) than untreated (10%). Higher weight...

Ascorbic acid (AsA) is an important nutritious substance in fruits, and it also can maintain the biological activity of fruits during storage. This research investigated effect exogenous melatonin (MT) on AsA metabolism postharvest kiwifruit. Our results indicated that MT delayed decrease fruit firmness titratable (TA), inhibited increase soluble solids content (SSC), reduced respiration rate ethylene production, maintained a higher kiwifruit The high expression L-galactose pathway key genes...

Naringin exhibits antioxidant capacity and can partially inhibit pathogens in many horticultural products, such as citrus fruit; however, the effects of naringin on storage quality mechanisms that regulate senescence fruit have not been comprehensively analyzed.In this study, exogenous treatment was found to significantly delay disease, decreasing H2O2 content, increasing maintaining fruit. Metabolomic analysis peel indicated vast majority (325) metabolites belonging flavonoids. Moreover,...

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...

7-Demethoxytylophorine (DEM), a natural water-soluble phenanthroindolizidine alkaloid, has great potential for invitro suppression of Penicillium italicum growth. In the present study, we investigated ability DEM to confer resistance against P. in harvested "Newhall" navel orange and underlying mechanism. Results from vivo experiment showed that treatment delayed blue mold development. The water-soaked lesion diameter 40 mg L-1 DEM-treated fruit was 35.2% lower than control after 96 h....

The yardlong bean belongs to nonclimacteric fruit. objective of this study was investigate the effects 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) treatment on physicochemical characteristics beans during cold storage. Freshly harvested were treated with different concentrations 1-MCP (0, 0.75, 1.0, 1.25, and 1.5 μ L ·L −1 ) stored at 8°C for 21 days. results showed that, compared control, decrease in firmness good fruit rate degradation chlorophyll vitamin C (Vc) content could be inhibited, change skin...

Nanfeng tangerine (Citrus reticulata Blanco) is highly regarded for its nutritional and economic value. In January 2022, an unknown fruit rot was observed on fruits harvested from County (27.22 °N, 116.53 °E), Fuzhou City, Jiangxi Province after 70 days in storage (25 °C, 90% relative humidity). The disease mostly started the pedicel or a wound. Symptoms initiated with dark brown lesions that rapidly expanded between center pulp capsule causing total rot. surface of symptomatic sterilized...

Postharvest quality deterioration is a major factor affecting the economic value and marketing of Nanfeng tangerines. The objective this study was to explore effects luteolin treatment on postharvest antioxidant capacity We applied 1 g/L 3 fruit after harvest evaluated decay rate, quality, during 60-day storage period at room temperature. results indicated that, compared untreated fruit, tangerines treated with exhibited enhanced appearance flavor as well delayed disease incidence,...
