Fruits have been traditionally classified into two categories based on their capacity to
produce and respond to ethylene during ripening. Fruits whose ripening is associated to a …

Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP)(SmartFresh™) is an ethylene antagonist widely used to retain
quality and prolong the postharvest storage period of various climacteric fruits in which …

The objective of the present investigation was to evaluate the effects of different
concentrations of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP; 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 μL L-1), methyl jasmonate …

The interplay between melatonin and ethylene in the regulation of fruit metabolism and the
underlying molecular mechanism of this interplay remain largely unclear. Here, widely …

In this study, the effect of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) at 0 (control), 20 and 40 mM on
maintaining postharvest quality, chilling tolerance and fungal decay of 'Sahebi'grapevine …

ABSTRACT Phenolic compounds (PCs), flavonoids, non-flavonoids and hybrid phenolics,
with antibacterial and antioxidant properties, which can be applied to improve the fruit …

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) has been identified as an important gaseous signal in plants. Here,
we investigated the mechanism of H2S in alleviating postharvest senescence and rotting of …

Maturity is a key factor that determines fruit quality and shelflife. Determination of the correct
harvest stage is always challenging in non-climacteric fruits, and more complex with grapes …

Climacteric fruits undergo a characteristic ripening process regulated by ethylene, a key
plant hormone. Extending the shelf life of these fruits while preserving their postharvest …

Sulfur dioxide (SO 2) is the most frequently used preservative for table grapes, yet the
preservation mechanism remains unclear. To ascertain the specific genes and pathways …
