Effects of salicylic acid treatment on fruit quality and wax composition of blueberry (Vaccinium virgatum Ait)

Bo Jiang et al.

Summary: Salicylic acid can delay the deterioration of blueberry fruit quality, enhance its resistance to disease, and affect the composition of cuticular wax. There was no significant difference in the structure of epicuticular wax between salicylic acid-treated fruits and the control group.

QTL analysis reveals the effect of CER1-1 and CER1-3 to reduce fruit water loss by increasing cuticular wax alkanes in citrus fruit

Hongbin Yang et al.

Summary: Postharvest water loss can affect fruit quality, and the study found that alkanes in cuticular wax may play an important role in limiting fruit water loss. Candidate genes CER1-1 and CER1-3 were identified as potentially involved in alkane synthesis, and heterologous expression in Arabidopsis confirmed their role in reducing leaf water loss. Coating with C28 alkane could reduce postharvest fruit water loss, providing new insights for developing coating agents and breeding citrus varieties with better storage performance.

Preharvest application of 1-methylcyclopropene and Ethephon altered cuticular wax biosynthesis and fruit quality of apples at harvest and during cold storage

Fujun Li et al.

Summary: The study showed that application of sprayable 1-MCP can inhibit ethylene biosynthesis and signaling in apple fruit, resulting in changes in fruit cuticular wax synthesis, which in turn affects the fruit quality and wax structure. Additionally, 1-MCP can reduce fruit dropping rate and maintain fruit firmness, soluble solids, and titratable acidity during cold storage.

Acidic electrolyzed water treatment delayed fruit disease development of harvested longans through inducing the disease resistance and maintaining the ROS metabolism systems

Jinyan Tang et al.

Summary: The study found that acidic electrolyzed water treatment can suppress disease occurrence in longan fruit, increase disease-resistant enzyme activity and H2O2 content, reduce ROS generation rate and MDA content, and enhance antioxidant enzyme and non-enzyme antioxidant system activity.

Integrative role of plant mitochondria facing oxidative stress: The case of ozone

Anthony Gandin et al.

Summary: Ozone as a secondary air pollutant can cause oxidative stress in plants by producing ROS, which have dual roles as signaling molecules and inducers of oxidative damage. Mitochondria play a crucial role in coping with ozone-induced ROS production and the mitochondrial fate involves three steps including initial responses, detoxifying processes, and accelerated senescence leading to programmed cell death.

The chemical composition and potential role of epicuticular and intracuticular wax in four cultivars of table grapes

Mingyi Yang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the compositional, morphological and functional features of cuticular wax in grape berries, and found that the removal of epicuticular wax can affect the quality of grapes. This provides a theoretical basis for further application of fruit wax.

Melatonin treatment delays senescence and improves antioxidant potential of sweet cherry fruits during cold storage

Yavar Sharafi et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that melatonin treatment can enhance the antioxidant potential of sweet cherry fruits by promoting the accumulation of endogenous melatonin and hydrogen sulfide, as well as maintaining membrane integrity during cold storage. Additionally, melatonin enhances the accumulation of phenols, flavonoids, and anthocyanins by regulating enzyme activities.

Treatment with exogenous salicylic acid maintains quality, increases bioactive compounds, and enhances the antioxidant capacity of fresh goji (Lycium barbarum L.) fruit during storage

Huaiyu Zhang et al.

Summary: Treatment with salicylic acid (SA) can improve the quality of goji fruit and maintain its freshness and antioxidant capacity during storage. SA-treated fruit stored at 0 degrees C showed better quality characteristics, including higher color values, firmness, total soluble solids (TSS), and lower weight loss and titratable acidity compared to the control group.

Transcriptome analysis of starch and sucrose metabolism change in Gold Queen Hami melons under different storage temperatures

Qin Zhang et al.

Summary: Temperature control is a key factor in maintaining postharvest fruit quality and extending shelf life. The study found that storage temperature significantly influenced gene expression in Gold Queen Hami melon fruit, particularly genes involved in starch and sucrose metabolism pathways. Lower temperatures, such as 3 degrees C and 0.5 degrees C, were associated with increased sweetness loss and promoted starch degradation in the melons.

Relationship of the optical properties with soluble solids content and moisture content of strawberry during ripening

Dandan Xie et al.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between optical properties and soluble solids content (SSC) and moisture content in strawberries during ripening. The results showed that absorption coefficient (mu a) at 1411 nm had the best correlation with SSC and moisture content. Support vector machine models based on mu a spectra had the smallest root-mean-squares error for determining the internal quality of strawberries.

Investigating the biocontrol potentiality of Wickerhamomyces anomalus against postharvest gray mold decay in cherry tomatoes

Fredy Agil Raynaldo et al.

Summary: Wickerhamomyces anomalus showed significant biocontrol efficacy against postharvest gray mold decay in cherry tomatoes, reducing disease incidence in a concentration-dependent manner while not affecting fruit quality. The yeast was able to grow and compete with Botrytis cinerea at different temperatures, inhibiting spore germination and growth. Additionally, W. anomalus enhanced the activity of defense-related enzymes in cherry tomatoes, ultimately inducing disease resistance and making it a promising biocontrol agent for managing postharvest gray mold decay.
