During the post-harvest storage of citrus, flavor fruit gradually fade. In this study, we investigated effects different treatments—control check (CK), heat treatment (HT), salicylic acid (SA), and 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP)—on quality ‘Newhall’ navel oranges, particularly focusing on sucrose metabolism related gene expression during storage. Combining experimental data, compared three treatments with CK. The results showed that oranges subjected to HT had a significantly higher flavonoid...
The 'Yinhongli' cultivar of Chinese plum (Prunus salicina Lindl.) is characterized by a distinctive bicolored peel phenotype, in which anthocyanins serve as crucial determinants both its visual characteristics and nutritional quality. However, the molecular mechanism underlying light-dependent anthocyanin biosynthesis plum, especially regulatory network pathway, need to be further studied explored. Comprehensive physiological analyses demonstrated distinct pigmentation patterns, revealing...
Cold storage preserves lemon fruit quality; however, it can result in significant chilling injury (CI). The effects of pre- and post-harvest methyl jasmonate (MeJA) treatments at four concentrations (0, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 mM) on CI sensory quality lemons during 80 d 7-10 °C were investigated.
