Respiratory quotient level variation during storage: Critical period for low oxygen tolerance, metabolism, and quality of 'Galaxy' apples

Fabio Rodrigo Thewes et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the effects of respiratory quotient (RQ) variation on apple metabolism, quality, and volatile organic compounds after long-term storage. Results indicated that the critical period for low oxygen damage in apples is the first three months of storage. Overall fruit quality was better maintained under storage conditions including DCA-CF, DCA-RQ 1.1, and DCA-RQ 1.3, with higher flesh firmness and lower physiological disorders observed.

Silicon influenced ripening metabolism and improved fruit quality traits in apples

Evangelos Karagiannis et al.

Summary: Silicon application in apple trees promotes fruit ripening traits such as fruit firmness and apple peel color attributes, while inducing changes in nutrient and metabolic levels in various plant tissues. Additionally, silicon enhances the accumulation of total phenolic and anthocyanin compounds in apple tissues, as well as affecting the levels of primary metabolites in a tissue-specific manner.

Mechanisms of silicon-induced fungal disease resistance in plants

Golam Jalal Ahammed et al.

Summary: Silicon plays a beneficial role in enhancing plant resistance to fungal pathogens by forming mechanical barriers and inducing the rapid production of defense compounds. Additionally, improved mineral nutrition and modulation of multiple plant hormones contribute to the overall disease resistance in Si-supplied plants.
